  Like you said, there’s a metric ton of steps involved in the overall process, and our understanding of each of these ‘levels’ of organization varies quite a bit. Closest to my personal expertise is the sub-cellular and cellular level, for which I would refer you books or papers in developmental biology, developmental genetics, and epigenetics. I can give you a couple bloopers to get you excited though:

  When it comes to deciding where different organs will form (again, from a sub-cellular level), it essentially starts from a gradient of certain proteins/chemicals inside the zygotic cell. This gradient then determines the level of activation of other proteins, each level then leading to different biochemical cascades which, once more cells have formed from the zygote, determine which organ systems will come from them. A, more or less, similar process occurs to determine the shape of organs. As a simple example, when some animals with regenerative capabilities (like axolotls) lose a limb, they are able to regrow the limb to the exact same length as before. Turns out, each cell on the periphery of their limb has a certain concentration of receptor proteins on its surface, which acts as a molecular ‘signature’ of that cell’s position in the limb. These signatures provide information on how far to grow the limb for regeneration, and some chemicals, lile retinol, can even override these signatures and fool the organism’s body into regrowing the limb from scratch on top of the place of regeneration.

  I hope these examples give you a sufficient introduction of the mechanisms involved. There’s obviously a lot more involved, so I would again highly recommend textbooks and research papers if you’re interested.

  As someone who is often unable to even enjoy soda because it immediately starts bubbling up and only remains as a sugary liquid by the time it reaches the esophagus, I guess I can’t replicate your observations. Also, I guess I need more water in my mouth before I can let Jesus into it (for a more pleasant experience for both of us)

  Chemists are just bags of chemicals talking about chemicals

  If only it worked; the mentos would start disintegrating by your saliva and the coke would already form bubbles as soon as it enters your mouth thanks to the rough surface inside 🤓

  That won’t work tho, you need to make it sys.maxsize//2 to coerce the output into int form

  For Meet, I’d also suggest Jitsi. For Drive, I’d recommend giving cryptpad.fr a shot; that seems to be the closest to Drive’s file editing capabilities.

  It’ll get more complex than that. I’m no expert, but I’m guessing you have to consider the depth of the crust at your location, type of soil and the distance from (and time since) the last closest volcanic eruption, possibly distance from the nearest tectonic boundary, maybe even tidal forces (assuming they have a considerable impact on magma being pushed out, but this may be a bit too far)

  I don’t know the language either, and any guess I make will come off as North-India chauvinist XD maybe someone else here who knows the script will point it out

  For those who don’t know, adrak = ginger and elaichi = cardamom in hindi (just to point out how smart the abbreviation is)

  I guess that depends on what you were testing. If you were changing your email ID on one of your social media or other accounts, then it may become a bit of an issue, as compared to just sending yourself an email from your gmail account
