Of course! I’m a biologist, I try to use my powers for good.

Functional changes in coloration are much “easier” (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it’s reasonable to assume they’d developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.

Definitely. The minimum infective dose is around 10-100 million CFUs.

I got laid off in January, still looking! Zero interview so far. I’m sorry to hear others are having a rough time too, although it’s a bit of a relief to know I’m not just super toxic or something.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 week ago:
My partner and I have surprisingly little in common when it comes to interests. I like a lot of nerd stuff: homelab, 3d printing, robotics, brewing, welding, woodworking, sci-fi, etc. They like not nerd stuff: copaganda shows, murder porn (podcasts and documentaries), dog training, cooking, etc. I like metal, they like jangly indie, we both like punk. We both love cats.
We also both hate small talk, so we only discuss what we find to be pertinent or interesting. Since we have a lot of individual interests, we actually have a lot to talk about. We just had a really great conversation on using Docker or a VM to circumvent some silly online testing issues.

Paracetamol?! Not only would that be largely ineffective at preventing pain, it takes 30-60 minutes to start working. The incompetence astounds.

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
Likely both. I used to be involved in creating educational material for employers. First, voiceover artists were replaced with shockingly low quality AI models. This was about two years ago. Training prices didn’t drop and no employers complained.
The industry experts we’d pay for consultation were increasingly replaced with ChatGPT queries. Information was sometimes wrong but the employers purchasing these trainings would catch and correct it (for free) in the proofing process. Prices stayed the same, employers still didn’t complain.
After launching trainings, we’d monitor engagement. When asking relatively simple questions that anyone who paid attention would be able to answer immediately, the average response time was initially about 2-3 minutes, then about 60-90s for subsequent questions. They were finding ChatGPT and using it to answer the questions. We shared these findings and, you guessed it, employers didn’t care.

We do, but I didn’t even know they existed before this incident. I’ve luckily had few dental issues.

Red aggro nailed it. There’s a gap at the gum line between my remaining tooth and the crown, leaving exposed dentin.

I had a dentist give me an unnecessary and they didn’t even do it right. I’m still pretty salty about it.

Same, there’s not enough money in the world to entice me to deal with hormone fueled insanity again. I occasionally take a round of corticosteroids and they return just a fraction of that emotional volatility. No, just no.

Ugh, your wife and me both. “Have you tried meditation? Fasting? Maybe just push through the pain?”
Pushing through the pain is why my desk jockey ass is currently recovering from a surgery rarely performed on non-athletes. At least all the hospital documentation promises that I can start competitive play within a year or so. Upgrade!
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 4 weeks ago:
I believe you’re 100% right. I didn’t attend many, probably most, of my lectures as they’re completely useless for me - I simply don’t learn well from listening and frantically taking notes. It was much faster and more effective to read the material and interact with it in some way, usually rewording and condensing it into a study guide. The few classes I did attend either had mandatory attendance, so I just ignored the lecture and did my own thing during that time, or the class was significantly interactive so I actually learned from it.

I always laugh when anyone seriously refers to Trump as a “man’s man”. He’s so pathetic and weak. Is that now America’s idea of masculinity?

I engaged in the “affair tolerant monogamy” variant when I was younger. I discovered there’s a positive curvilinear relationship between amount of drama and number of romantic partners. I am sometimes barely able to handle my own incidental drama, so it didn’t last more than a few years.

I have no concerns if he wants to force feed himself grain mash in the privacy of his own home. I draw the line at involving innocent waterfowl, though.
