• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having the same last name is just an easy way to show togetherness and unity. My wife kept her last name because she earned her MD with it but she’s fine going by Mrs. (my last name) in a parental setting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how did you master splits (for flexibility)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically 5-15min of stretching in the morning and evening (shorter if younger or decently flexible, longer if older or less flexible). You start with what you can do easily then go until you “feel it” then you do your best to hold it for 10-30s and relax (slow breathing). If you stop feeling it go farther (it was just muscle tensing in the way) and a couple inches more and you’ll be at your current real limit hold for 10-30s then do other stretches.

  Will take 1wk to a couple months. The biggest caveat is the risk of injury for those who don’t know their bodies well or try to rush the process.

  I don’t think there are many Freemasons around anymore and most of lodges that remain have probably adapted their rules.

  I thought it was just their T100, the CFX96s I’ve used don’t have the touchscreen but yeah the bigger “lid” does look like for the CFX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where the magic happens owo⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Top left is a thermal cycler. Basically it heats and cools samples at a given rate. This is primarily used for generic PCR, and certain enzymatic reactions. Top right is the fancier version of this, it is for qPCR, so it can do the heating and cooling and has a laser/detector for the dye or probe that reacts to generating more dna with each PCR cycle so you can quantify approximately how much of the target DNA you had.

  Bottom right is a luminex. This uses detection of fluorophore signals to measure multiple analyates, usually different proteins.

  Idk what bottom left is.

  Useful in quite limited scenarios besides as food for something else. Dependent on/creating rotting stuff. Disgusting to most people.

  I like MAGAt because it sounds like maggot

  A coworker the other day didn’t know there was an animated grinch movie before the Jim Carey one. ಠ╭╮ಠ

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bitey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the extant creatures you give them something they want to bite on and stick a measurement thing inside of that.

  For extinct creatures see other comment. You compare anatomy and do math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bitey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t like everyone watch Steve Irwin do this to massive crocs like all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $50/mo for internet is a relatively low rate for the US unless you’re lucky enough to live in one of the few places with municipal internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute Units⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh they got fat i.e. blubber but the water’s cold and they’re always swimming. Krill aren’t fatty enough that you’d run into high fat/sugar diet problems.

  Transcription:

  My lawyer just called and asked if I was ready for court tomorrow. Said hell, yeah, I ain’t goin’ see I been spending the last 6 months booby trapping my entire 500 acres. I got snake pits, rolling logs, bear traps, I got some straight up Indiana Jones shit. I got a fucking boulder that’ll fall down when you open my front door. 120 coyotes that I trained to bite anything with a crew cut and a badge. I flew an old Vietnamese man or here, he helped me dig about 12 miles worth of underground tunnels. I have 450 cameras. I’ve rigged the solar panels all around this motherfucker. I got a Bengal tiger locked in my fucking bathroom who’d kill for a pork chop right now. You know it’s surprisingly easy to teach a raccoon how to loosen log nuts and cut brake lines. If rather live the rest of my life in these woods living of fucking wild ginseng and creek water than go to fucking jail one more time. I don’t even try bringing no helicopters round here neither like I got a whole fucking coop of pigeons with c4 tied around their feets got a bunch of pvc pipe filled with gunpowder and ball bearings and a baboon who is deadly accurate with a nail gun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pineapple trimmings in 1 liter burp or boom tube⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fermentation is organic substrate like glucose->other things, anaerobically. You don’t get alcohol without sugar being converted to ethanol. The bacteria or yeast doing so can have different byproducts depending on substrate and the fermenting organism(s). Now the more complex sugars present in a fibrous fruit like pineapple does probably result in more sugar left than usual. Additionally pineapple acidity may also reduce the direct fermentation capability. If you do as with grains where you cook and macerate it and/or increase the pH some you’d probably be able to reduce the leftover sugar sweetness more while increasing the alcohol and sour notes.

  Yes, correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear it’s not about “spacefaring” billionaires but about “spacing” billionaires aka dumping them out an airlock into space as seen in various “The Expanse” scenes.

  …OK, well I guess we wait until the wrong person is in charge of that division. Also I’m old because that feels like yesterday…fuck.

  I play rocket league with a keyboard and mouse. Have gotten up to champ in 2v2 and 3v3 ranked.

  Also beat ds1 and 2 using keyboard and mouse.

  In other words git gud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To be rejected by a desk...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A desk rejection basically means the editor it was assigned to was like “this is shit, we’re not publishing it”. So you don’t even get to reviewers.

  I do believe there were fan attempts but they never gained quite enough traction.

  Took til past couple years to get funding for it. About 75-90% of scientific proposals to the NIH are not funded.
