Marketplace is so active, it’s the one thing I’m tempted to use it for. But I wont install their apps on my phone

It’s a lot more like smushing a shoestring into a tangled ball

This is a frog eyeball.

There is a subtle genius in establishing the concept of “net force” as something that can be treated mathematically, and that fully predicts an object’s motion. He framed the problem

The meteorite contained a wide variety of soluble organic compounds, and its compositional range confirms that the Hillsborough meteorite was more altered by water than most other CM-type meteorites. “A high fraction of compounds were the product of organic chemistry with minerals,” said organic mass spectrometry specialist Phil Schmitt-Kopplin of Technical University Munich. “We do not know if these magnesium organic compounds were contributed by brine chemistry or were simply left over from earlier impact shock processes.”

Asteroids don’t stay warm for very long. For organic compunds to be forming in a transient brine here, they must be all over the universe

At a scientific conference I saw someone presenting a cat study poster. Japanese guy studying the neural control of bowel movements. His prep had a balloon inflated up a cat’s ass to measure peristaltic contractions.

… don’t you think a lot of Trump votes were defensive votes against Hilary/Harris? Telling people to vote against the worse candidate is morbid and devoid of hope.

Elections should be restructured so people aren’t forced into 1-on-1 battles. People naturally have more diverse beliefs than a left/right spectrum. The current system was gamed into crisis. Time for an amendment

You are right that your odds for self-sustainability aren’t good to suddenly switch to literary author. You need book deals first. Try talking to some authors (online if nothing else) to see what the day-to-day is like.

Pediatrics has a lot fewer drug addicts and dementia cases. Would you move to a teaching hospital? Changing scenes (while a lot of work) gives a fresh buzz to ambition

Is this really an X-ray? I thought you’d see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this

It’s a good thing the rate of catastrophic collisions with neighboring bodies is at its lowest in a void. At this point we may as well assume our lack of neighbors was beneficial to our being here in the first place

If you are always on your best behavior, doesn’t that also mean you are also on your worst behavior? Are there specific times to relax permitted?

What is it about the plummeting rates of violent crime in the past few decades that called for this erosion of human dignity?

Public utilities have special pricing to ensure people at home can access them. Laws simply need to be amended to put a cap on the percentage available to commercial interests

Ammonia smells like Windex. Any piss connoisseur will tell you the importance of dimethyl sulfide, butyric acid, and trimethylamine

They are accusing the UK govt of both being too strongly sensitive against anti-semitism (banning protests), and unapolagetically anti-semitic (allowing these depictions).

What is the point of this post?

It is our warrior tribe’s right of passage. To become a man, each boy of age must spend five nights in the god spears.

I’m convinced these people press too hard

Two photon microscopy doesn’t even think about them at all.

I’ll always remember chatting with a guy at the airport who asked what I was in grad school for. Unexpectedly, he was thrilled to talk about neuroscience, and asked what I thought of a recent study. Some researchers had put dogs in fMRI to “prove” that dogs can feel love.

tl;dr Pottery kiln is 100y older, reshapes understanding of Bedfordshire’s historic pottery industry

RFK Jr would like to remove scientific scrutiny from the drug approval process, which is the agenda of pharma companies. He’s already been successful with this in the med device space using the same argument.
