IIRC it’s because mitochondria have their DNA and keep it stored in a circular form similar to bacteria. I think also plants having chloroplasts, while animals have mitochondria adds more evidence, given that they are very similar structures.

My tactic is to have an ever-increasing CC list of the person’s boss, boss’s boss, the boss’s boss’s boss, etc…

Baseball could be called stickball, taking MLS so ‘soccer’ would need a new… Hey, that actually works out.

I’d say not as much sissies, more moronic cavemen who don’t know how not to hurt themselves or each other.

For anyone curious, the privacy video is in their latest(?) blog post on their site. It should be viewable anywhere as it’s outside the NSFW area and before the 18+ notice.
(Just bear in mind that while it should be SFW, it is still under a porn-site’s domain.)

I’m waiting for huge spike of trojan-infected computers from people trying to bypass the law by torrenting their porn from unknown sources.

A lot of the responses for this account just seem a bit… off. It has me suspicious if it’s a chatbot or something.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s more the news article that’s upselling it and with it being “groundbreaking”, it is likely only at the initial stages.
Mice are usually the first phase are they do have a similar immune response (systemically), have a fast metabolism and quick to mature. They’re also clones, which helps eliminate external factors that could contribute to what they’re studying. More or less, mice are just a quicker litmus test to just show that something is possible and if it warrants a study on a closer analog.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 3 weeks ago:
For me, it more boils down to keeping my place within a web page or ever-updating feed.
For instance… If I’m going down a rabbit hole, I could have 4 root tabs open. Those tabs may have lengthy articles and would reference secondary sites throughout the page. Rather then having a good chance of the browser losing my place down the page by clicking on a link normally, I open it in a new tab. This allows me to switch to it, skim down to where it was referenced to understand that part of it, then switch back to the root tab while leaving the secondary tab open to fully read through when I finish with the root one. As the rabbit hole deepens, those secondary tabs may eventually become root tabs which may also reference their own secondary sites or even each other. The number of tabs just keeps growing until I either run out of those secondary tabs or I am just satisfied with the amount of info I gained. This can also happen over several days or weeks and have other rabbit holes open at the same time.

Wonder how big the user base is there. It could be a worthwhile endeavor to inundate it with troll accounts just to screw with him.

What I’ve learned working at a startup in stealth mode and having larger projects in the back lot behind the building, is that those cars also do not respect ‘no trespassing’ signs and waymo will wait until it gets to the litigious point to bother to fix their routing.

Yes, keep the car inside.

Not really. Outside of the commercial usage (like data centers), liquid-cooing is used more just for show.

Some stores have open/door-less refrigerated sections. Not the ideal as it uses up more power and the outer layer of items tend to spoil really quickly.

- Comment on Ay, chihuahua! 2 months ago:
I’ve always more or less seen it as mostly just a training issue as a lot of people think their small size makes it unneeded.
Having had five of them from puppies, one having a litter that we kept two from, (Sister’s idea, I prefer cats) none of them were ever really aggressive unless antagonized. Maybe a bit yippey when the doorbell rang or a stranger was in the house, but after about a minute, they calmed down when they saw there was no threat.
