How do #animals #aggregate?#Mites can find each other based on #pheromones, while #sight is important for herd-forming #mammals. In #marine #habitats, #hearing plays a major role. D.McAfee et al.(2022) showed that #oyster #larvae react to the #soundscape of a healthy #reef via #statocysts in front of their bodies, thus finding their adult conspecifics for #reefformation. Reef formation can be artificially #stimulated via artificial #soundwaves.

For any people out there who have #sight, which its like finding a dime a dozen, do you have to look at your keyboard while you #type? Can you just not look at your keyboard while you type, wouldn't it just be faster to not look while you type because you already know how to type anyway, so looking at the keyboard makes you a slower typer? Why are backlit keyboards so important? It makes no sense to me in the slightest, I can have my head turned completely away from the keyboard and still type, can you not do this?

When we are alive on earth, we are absent from the Lord, and that is why we walk/live by #faith, not by #sight.

We have put our #trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His ways. Sometimes that might look ridiculous to those who live according to the ways of this world.

Yet our faith is not blind: we maintain confidence we will be raised from the dead if we suffer because Jesus was raised from the dead after He #suffered.
