I want to give biologists the power to define political borders based on habitat. Can a biologist help me test out my political decision-making website by getting verified on it?

Hi, I'm designing a website where biologists can delineate the borders of habitats that determine where residents get to vote on issues relevant to their home habitat. I am at the stage where I need to test out the verification process for biologists empowered to vote on where borders of habitats should be. Can an accredited biologist please sign up to the website and go through the verification process for me? It requires that you link two images of your certificates. Thank you!

This is related to Cascadia because this website will help make Cascadia, a habitat region, a reality.

A restaurant called Only the Best

Where menu items are from many different cultures, but only the most popular dishes from those countries. Italy would be lasagna, pizza, and spaghetti with meatballs. Thailand would be tom kha gai, phad thai, chicken satay, and mango sticky rice. Vietnam would be pho and bahn mi, India would be butter chicken and naan. Mexico would have American tacos AND street tacos, and chimichangas, and churros. What are your favorite dishes from around the world?

DMT: The only reason anyone is wearing moustaches is because their parents never wore them - because our generation HATED them because OUR parents wore them!

Every dude with a moustache looks like my dad and therefore I could NEVER be attracted to them. In fact the only thing they look like, aside from my dad, is gay 80s porn stars (which is fine but by definition, I can't have sex with gay men because they don't want to). If these KIDS had grown up with mustachioed parents, they'd NEVER wear mustaches.

Saying Goodbye to Wild Waves

For anyone who's been to Universal Studios or Disneyland, our one-and-only local theme park may seem a little podunky; but the truth is there's a ton to do at Wild Waves. I've been going with my kids once a week all through July. Only today did we finally have the courage to ride the biggest rollercoaster at the park, the Wild Thing.

Our plan was to hit the Wild Thing first when we got there. We were in line for the second coaster of the day when there was an unexpected problem and we were told to leave while it was fixed. We decided to go to the carousel, which was close by, to spend time while we waited for the other ride to be available. Unfortunately, the carousel also had a problem when we got there, but we were able to ride after a few minutes.

These were the first hitches we encountered since we started attending the park at the beginning of July; but I imagine that this is the kind of thing that is forcing the park to close. Looking around Wild Waves, you see moss on old shingles, cracked fiberglass fixtures, unmatched paint patches, and aging molded concrete. I can understand why an insurance adjuster (probably) told the owners that it's time to pack it in.

There's still abundant value in the season passes that we bought on sale before the opening day! The Konga River (lazy river) is great for relaxing between exciting rides. There are at least ten different slides that require inner tubes, and two large scary water rides. There are several carnival-style rides for kids. Mine LOVED them. The zipline only costs five bucks per rider, which is the cheapest zipline I've ever heard of.

The wave pool is a favorite of my kids. Every few minutes, the waves begin and it seems like an incoming tide in the ocean. If you want a seat by the pool, you have to arrive early and stake your towel claim before anyone else. There are rentable 'cabanas' for rich people to sit in the shade and have treats delivered, or whatever rich people get up to.

The food at Wild Waves is twice the price it would be anywhere else, and the selection is pretty basic. Today, we had deep-fried gyoza, which was fine except for the lack of plum sauce - there was only soy sauce. The most exciting thing I saw was Korean-style mozzarella sticks coated with potato chunks. We might get those next time. There are also the usual suspects like burgers, pizza, salad/sandwiches a la carte, chicken tenders, fries, ice cream, and elephant ears. We bought a 15-dollar souvenir cup so that we can fill it with soda for $2 over and over. I bring a gift card and let the kids buy what they need with it (cash is not accepted in the park).

We are definitely not bored with Wild Waves yet, and we will go as many times as we can before school starts. From what I can tell, plenty of people LOVE this park as much as I do. I'm glad that my kids were finally tall enough to go on all the rides before the park closed for good! After this, there will be no theme parks in Washington State. For poor people like us, who can't afford to travel out of state for fancy vacations, the closure of Wild Waves represents a huge loss in terms of childhood memory-making. I'm incredibly grateful that I was able to give my kids this opportunity.

If you are an accredited biologist, please participate in this bioregional system of governance by defining habitats and residences.

This app is designed to allow biologists to define all habitat bioregions on Terra and in the observable universe. It uses a ranked vote system to fairly allocate every user's voting power.

Please join this website and message me your educational credentials to be added as an authority on the habitats you live in.
