This is a grid-wide event with multiple merchants with deals, steals, and freebies galore! There are merchant teleport boards like the one pictured that are spread around the grid for convenience.

Lunaria Emporium is holding its biggest sale of the year. All of my castles and entertainment venues are 75% off Kitely Market prices, and most of my other smaller items displayed everywhere are free, including furniture, statues, decor, and some Egyptian pieces.

# The Animal Cell vs The Plant Cell: The Duel of the Century (Under the Microscope)

Hello, lovers of science and fun! Today we're going to talk about a topic that seems boring but is as thrilling as a wrestling match. Yes, you read that right! We're talking about the never-ending battle between animal and plant cells. Imagine them as two superheroes duking it out in the ring of the body, each with their own superpowers.

## What Are They Basically Like?

### Animal Cell
It's the party animal of biology. It loves to be on the move, it's dynamic, and it comes in various shapes. It's more like a young person in a nightclub than a scholar in a library.

### Plant Cell
It's more like a zen monk. It's square, disciplined, and is generally found in an "ommmm" posture inside plants. Its shape is more rigid and, let's say, less "party-like."

## The Powers (Structures)

### Nucleus
Both cells have a nucleus. It's like their brain, the place where they store all the information needed to function.

### Cytoplasm
Imagine that the cytoplasm is like a dance hall, where everyone moves around and does their job. Both cells have one.

### Cell Membrane
Both have a cell membrane, kind of like the nightclub door that allows substances to enter and exit.

## The Differences (i.e., their unique superpowers)

### Cell Wall
The plant cell has a cell wall that the animal cell doesn't. It's like having Captain America's shield to protect itself.

### Chloroplasts
The plant cell is the only one that can perform photosynthesis thanks to its chloroplasts. It's like having an "Iron Man suit" that allows it to create its own energy.

### Lysosomes
The animal cell has lysosomes, responsible for digestion. It's as if it has its own internal Pac-Man that eats up waste.

### Vacuoles
Both cells have vacuoles, but the ones in plant cells are like "the millionaire's swimming pool," much larger and more luxurious.

### Centrioles
The animal cell has centrioles, useful in cell division. It's like having its own "cloning machine."

## in a nutshell
And there you have it, folks. As you can see, each cell has its charm and superpowers. But instead of competing, they work together to make this world a more incredible place.

So the next time you bite into a carrot or your pet strokes you, remember that there's an epic battle happening in the microscopic world, and now you know who the fighters are in that ring!

Until next time, may the (cellular) force be with you!

# La Célula Animal vs La Célula Vegetal: El Duelo del Siglo (En Microscopio)

¡Hola, amantes de la ciencia y de la diversión! Hoy vamos a hablar de un tema que parece aburrido pero que es tan apasionante como un combate de lucha libre. ¡Sí, sí, has leído bien! Se trata de la interminable batalla entre las células animales y vegetales. Imagina que son como dos superhéroes que luchan en el ring del cuerpo, cada una con sus propias superhabilidades.

## ¿Cómo Son Básicamente?

### Célula Animal
Es la fiestera de la biología. Le encanta estar en movimiento, es dinámica y tiene formas variadas. Se parece más a un joven en una discoteca que a un erudito en una biblioteca.

### Célula Vegetal
Es más como un monje zen. Es cuadrada, disciplinada, y se encuentra generalmente en una postura de "ommmm" en el interior de las plantas. Su forma es más rígida y, digamos, menos "fiestera".

## Los Poderes (Estructuras)

### Núcleo
Ambas células tienen un núcleo. Es como su cerebro, el lugar donde guardan toda la información para funcionar.

### Citoplasma
Imagínate que el citoplasma es como un salón de baile, donde todo el mundo se mueve y hace su trabajo. Las dos células tienen uno.

### Membrana Celular
Las dos tienen una membrana celular, algo así como la puerta de la discoteca que permite la entrada y salida de sustancias.

## Las Diferencias (O sea, sus superpoderes únicos)

### Pared Celular
La célula vegetal tiene una pared celular que la célula animal no tiene. Es como tener un escudo de Capitán América que la protege.

### Cloroplastos
La célula vegetal es la única que puede hacer fotosíntesis gracias a sus cloroplastos. Es como si tuviera un "traje de Iron Man" que le permite crear su propia energía.

### Lisosomas
La célula animal tiene lisosomas, responsables de digerir las cosas. Es como si tuviera un pequeño Pac-Man interno que se come los desechos.

### Vacuolas
Ambas células tienen vacuolas, pero las de las células vegetales son como "la piscina del millonario", mucho más grandes y lujosas.

### Centríolos
La célula animal tiene centríolos, útiles en la división celular. Es como si tuviera su propia "máquina de clonación".

## Resumiendo
Y ahí lo tienes, amig@s. Como podéis ver, cada célula tiene su encanto y superpoderes. Pero en lugar de competir, trabajan juntas para hacer de este mundo un lugar más increíble.

Así que la próxima vez que muerdas una zanahoria o te acaricie tu mascota, recuerda que hay una batalla épica ocurriendo en el mundo microscópico, ¡y ahora sabes quiénes son los luchadores en ese ring!

Hasta la próxima, ¡y que la fuerza (celular) esté contigo!

Although the figures vary, it is estimated that only a fraction of the waste we separate at home actually ends up being recycled. In many cases, we're talking about less than 50%. It's an alarming statistic that highlights the inefficiency of current waste management systems. And when it comes to organic waste, the situation is even more disheartening. Most of this waste ends up in landfills, where it decomposes uncontrollably, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than CO2.

In this context, the lack of a stricter packaging law is a clear example of how short-term economic interests often prevail over long-term sustainability and well-being. Existing laws, although they do exist, are insufficient and, in many cases, ineffective in addressing the massive generation of packaging waste. A stricter law could force companies to take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products, from production to final disposal. This could include measures such as the obligation to use recyclable or biodegradable materials, packaging return systems, and penalties for companies that do not comply with requirements.

It's as if we're playing a game where the cards are stacked against the environment. We're asked to do our part, but the system itself is designed to fail. And meanwhile, the climate emergency waits for no one. It's time for authorities to take drastic and effective measures, rather than sticking to rhetoric and half-measures.

It's frustrating, isn't it? 😤

______________

Aunque las cifras varían, se estima que solo una fracción de los residuos que separamos en casa realmente termina siendo reciclada. En muchos casos, estamos hablando de menos del 50%. Es una estadística alarmante que pone de manifiesto la ineficacia de los sistemas actuales de gestión de residuos. Y en cuanto a los residuos orgánicos, la situación es aún más desalentadora. La mayoría de estos residuos terminan en vertederos, donde se descomponen sin control, liberando metano, un gas de efecto invernadero mucho más potente que el CO2.

En este contexto, la falta de una ley de envases más estricta es un claro ejemplo de cómo los intereses económicos a corto plazo suelen prevalecer sobre la sostenibilidad y el bienestar a largo plazo. Las leyes actuales, aunque existen, son insuficientes y, en muchos casos, ineficaces para abordar el problema de la generación masiva de residuos de envases. Una ley más estricta podría obligar a las empresas a asumir la responsabilidad de todo el ciclo de vida de sus productos, desde la producción hasta la disposición final. Esto podría incluir medidas como la obligación de utilizar materiales reciclables o biodegradables, sistemas de devolución de envases y sanciones para las empresas que no cumplan con los requisitos.

Es como si estuviéramos jugando una partida en la que las cartas están marcadas en contra del medio ambiente. Se nos pide que hagamos nuestra parte, pero el sistema en sí está diseñado para fallar. Y mientras tanto, la urgencia climática no espera. Es hora de que las autoridades tomen medidas drásticas y efectivas, en lugar de quedarse en la retórica y las medias tintas.

Es frustrante, ¿verdad? 😤

Below is a reposting of a comment I made in response to Openlife’s pathetic and wrongheaded rebuff to my initial post. I promised to repost my comment if it was deleted from the thread. Not only did my comment get deleted, but I have been blocked, but through the wonderful technology of alts I am able to access Onellife’s diatribe and also what others who have blocked me are posting. No surprises, it has allowed Onelife to distort and manupulate in order to put across his (wrongheaded) point of view, even to the point of contradicitng themselves on a few occasions.

Seriously, 4chan and 8chan could learn stuff from this lot! Indeed, the more I think about it there is an element in Opensim that seems to want to promote some kind of conspiracy theory. Inadvertantly I seem to have provided fodder, though I cannot for the life of me see how my few comments, none of them at all outrageous, unless you’re one of the EIOSSBF cartel, have created such a furore From that they seem to have taken on a life of their own, becoming ever more grossly distorted according to the viewpoint people like Onelife want to project. Good luck to them, my original piece is there to refute their accusations.

---ooOOOoo---

Good to see that there is at least a fewwho have a balanced view of the software industry. In the interests of full disclosure I am the person who wrote the article for which Openlife’s article is, I suppose, a attempted rebuff .

For clarity's sake, my piece is still up and there to read. Several people have rather bizarrely taken what I wrote and assumed that it is an endorsement of the EchoVoice project. It is not. It is, however, an opinion piece suggesting that if we want the nice things in Opensim, then it's likely we'll have to pay for them, or do without - it really is that simple. EchoVoice was used as an exemplary, nothing else.

I was also accused by Openlife of more or less demanding money with menaces, and by another suggesitng that I was calling people ‘cheap’*.when all I did was to suggest that most people could afford small contributions: not that they had to, and nowhere did I even hint that people should donate, merely that they more than likely could. Of course there will be a very small number of people who won’t be able to afford to contribute to anything, but I hardly think they will exist in any significant number in virtual worlds as they will be destitute, not inworld, and have far more to worry about than the people on here who are triggered at any suggestion that they could, shock, horror, pay some money for something for once in Opensim.

One of Harper Held’s comments was so abusive and intemperate that I not only deleted all their comments, but also blocked them. Both Openlife and GlennXpletive had some of their comments deleted due to them being either needless repetition, or irrelevant rants that had no place and only served to interrupt the flow of the thread. Because of this Xpletive then felt it okay to make xenophobic comments about my ethnicity. A complaint has been made about that.

Any pertinent comments were left. And yet I have been accused by Xpletive of restrictung their free speech, which is ludircrous. If they want to rant about me there are plenty of places where they could do that, and heck, they could even set up a website to do that - but of course, to do that properly, it would cost them money, and presumably these people are the core of the ‘Everything in Opensim should be free’ cult.

Sure, it's possible that someone could come along and do it for 'free', but it's unlikely. The eagle-eyed will also have spotted that my piece, whilst focusing on a voice module, was somewhat wider in scope, and was presenting an argument that maybe we should be prepared to cough up a small amount of money, if we want nice things in Opensim. There is a precedent, though it’s from 2015 (before the EIOSSBF nonsense started) https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2015/02/dahlia-trimbles-...

And if that wasn’t enough, there is this one so we could have decent vehicles in Opensim:https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2015/01/opensim-users-pl...

And... Related to what trggered the OP into writing their piece: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2014/01/zetamex-announce...

However, that one didn’t succeed, probably because of the avaialbility of Vivox, which, to a degree is understandable, but hardly an ideal solution.

The notion that Red Hat Linux is free of cost because Fedora is free is also a bit of a dishonest claim. Red Hat does have a cost: https://www.redhat.com/en/store/linux-platforms

EDIT: IBM through Red Hat largely finances both Fedora and CentOS Stream, and development is by both the community and paid professionals employed by Red Hat. A symbiotic relationship common to many opensource projects.

And, as Mike Chase says in his comment, there is a heck of a lot of paid-for work in GNU/Linux and the ‘free’ is more about freedom than free of cost, and, to be fair, most distros don’t make a charge for, but many (if not most) do ask for a contribution to cover their costs, such as this, from Ubuntu MATE: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/jammy/thanks/?metho...

I certainly didn’t intend to stir up a hornets (or is it a vipers?) nest over this, all I wanted to do in essence was show how the power of numbers could work hugely to our collective advantage. Anyone might think I’d suggested that people should donate their life savings, or steal the bread from their childern’s mouths! Seriously, some of you would do well to go back to school and learn English comprehension.

*Come to think about it, I do think that most of those bitterly complaining and using the poverty of others as a weapon with which to beat me are indeed ‘cheap’. Not just because they don’t want to contribute towards Opensim project, but because they are cynically and despicably exploiting poor people to bolster their arguments rather than going off and berating exploitative employers for not paying their workers enough to live a comfortable life, or petitioning the government to ensure that adequate unemployment benefits are paid to workers unable to find work.

PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS PIECE – ANY COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED.
