- gender neutral - fun to say - acknowledges the endless journey of the soul - makes you feel like a medieval tavernkeep - you absolutely can't risk misgendering a wandering swordmaster
It scratches my complexity itch. Also my beautiful anime boys itch.
Like seriously you need to get deep into the weeds for it to make sense, and it's both transcendent & amazingly stupid
But if you want a story about two boys who love each other helping each other deal with mental illness and breaking an ancient cycle of violence, it's worth your time. Just be ready to skip the terribly written Disney sections when they get to be too much.
@starkatt Mentioned at the start of a talk by Richard Gillilan I'm in right now. They've detected the signature of life firm there, but not live itself yet. Highest pressure life they've found is 120 MPa.
They also think the most recent common ancestor of ask life on earth might have lived at hydrothermal vents, due to some common, strange genes that occur in septate branches of the tree of Life that make the most sense down there.
Does anyone know of a service I could use to share files securely with non-technical people? Something like Dropbox, except I want to be able to trust it :)
The problem with screwing into #3Dprinted standoffs with screws. No matter the print orientation, screw threads are putting stress between layer lines. I've decided I like a captive nut on the back side so the screw's tension is actually compressing layers together rather than pulling them apart.
@SliverQueen@DialMforMara That is one of the coolest ideas I've heard in ages. Also, realized I should be using either of my other two counts for this.
@wigglytuffitout@DialMforMara@varx It was a memorial crystallography talk for Michael G. Rossmann, I think the section by Rui Zhao. The binding site for the cold is buried in a deep chasm, first seen by Rossmann's group, and he theorized the binding site was buried deep in that chasm, which is why it could mutate its surface into so many forms while doing basically the same thing. This was later proved correct, and they made a drug that targeted that binding site in 1986.
Apparently a cure for the common cold was discovered in the mid-80s, but nobody uses it because it interacts badly with hormonal birth control.
This fun fact brought to you by the science conference @Canageek is at, which is holding a memorial session for the crystallographer who discovered it.
I wonder if, now that more people in North America are using non-hormonal birth control, they'll start working on it again
