I work in microbiology and only recently learned it’s actually a fungus.
Disclaimer: I’m sure I’ve learned about it in the parasitology classes I’ve had but that was 15 years ago and since then I’ve been in bacteriology and sequencing.
Last I played (couple weeks ago) insurance didn’t cost anything. At some point it’ll cost in game credits but right now there’s no insurance premium. You can spend some credits to expidite the return timer if you can spare it.
What? The point of star citizen is exactly that kind of emerging gameplay. I can almost guarantee the person whose spaceyacht was stolen had fun here too. Nothing was lost, the ships are insured and you can just call them back a short while after they’re destroyed.
It’s international but every nation would obviously use their own flag. It’s a practice that dates back to the times before the USA was even a nation.
I’m fairly certain she didn’t lose the ability to laugh. I don’t think that’s entirely possible. Either you weren’t as funny as you think or she was awkward and nervous and that suppressed her real laughter. Or, hang on, there’s a third option which is she’s rotted her brain by being terminally online to the point where real experiences lose their meaning. Actually now that I think about it, that’s probably what you’re getting at here.
Fuck, wait a minute, am I losing my touch with reality and human connections?
The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection
No, it doesn’t. It shows mild anger at being insulted for no reason. Are you running on the assumption that he’s asking her out in this scenario? The only rejection he got was unsolicited. Like if I walk up to the next woman in the street, ask if she’s single and when she says “yes” I respond “nevermind, you’re not good enough”. Now she’s upset and understandably so.
I’m in full agreement with your point, but this comic is not a representation of that in any way.
I was thinking the same, it’s not aiming at any gender as far as I can tell. I took it as a wink at the “men always want sex, no exceptions” stereotype/gender norm. But, I’m a man and all that proves is that the slogan is vague enough that each reader will have their own personal interpretation of it’s exact meaning based on their own experience.
In that sense it is indeed a terrible slogan if only for the fact that it seems to elicit a negative, but highly personalised, meaning for everyone. The exact opposite of what you hope to achieve with a slogan.
Dish rag sounds like it might be dirtier than an unwashed finger to be honest.
Purely from description I’m sure that they meant Neil deGrasse Tyson. No self describing scientist should ever be as smug and full of themself as he is.
Reading the title I thought they took away the lunch breaks of people working with children and thought “that would de heartless”. Then it dawned on me what the title actually says…
I had the exact same infuriating experience the first half hour of using my OLED panel but it turns out it was simply because Firefox doesn’t support hdr. You have to use edge or chrome for hdr content online. So now I use edge purely for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.
My eyes were shut to this for such an embarrassingly long time. One time while on the phone with my sister she was catcalled/harassed. I could hear it and asked “what the fuck was that?!”. She shrugged it off. It was normal to her. The fact that she was so cavalier about it really opened my eyes to how different the female experience is in this world and it breaks my heart.
Girls, feel free to be loud about this (if you feel like it, if course). It’s a big deal and (assuming my experience is typical) the men in your life might be clueless to the severity of it.
Haha yeah, I’m sure that got an entire slide in the PowerPoint at the board meeting. I’m sure plenty of people there morally object. I also think that a steady and sizeable stream of income would instantly cure those objections though. But as the person above said already there is only a trickle of pennies in it for them.
I’m genuinely proud of you for this joke. Bravo! No notes.
What’s the point of drawing on the wallpaper with a crayon when mom is looking right at you? It gets attention.
I think you’re conflating commerce with capitalism. I don’t think you could have communism without commerce. Even if you did away with currency and the rubber farmer is paid with grain and other foodstuffs that would still be commerce.
What happened in those years and why were they omitted? It’s odd that they just leave it out with (as far as I could tell from the linked source) no explanation for that.
Don’t know what the 2019 yaris is like but my 2006 yaris with 335.000 KMs on the odometer regularly sits in the drive for a week, sometimes two at a time without moving. I had a battery die on me after towing a caravan in 38°C weather with it for a whole day. This was in 2018, that battery lasted me until last year when the mechanic told me it was going down and needed replacing. All this to say that unless Toyota has gone to absolute shit over the years then I’m guessing something isn’t quite right with your mum’s yaris.
(okay yes, I also wanted to put my trooper of a yaris in the spotlight. My first car ever and the best deal I will ever make in my life).
a human can be mapped in minutes, if not seconds.
Purely from a technical standpoint I’m wondering what you’re referring to here. Most of my work is DNA sequencing using different techniques and while we can do it blisteringly fast if necessary it still takes at minimum a few hours to isolate dna, prep the dna for sequencing and then running for 24 hours followed by data analysis. That’s for bacterial DNA, I don’t have experience with sequencing human genomes but I imagine it is more complicated than bacteria. But, I haven’t kept up with literature on this subject lately so now I’m wondering if I’ve missed some breakthrough technique that speeds up the process to minutes.
My guess would be the TV wasn’t in ‘game mode’. Which is to say it was doing a lot of post-processing on the image to make it look nicer but costs extra time, delaying the video stream a little.
