"It's important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That's why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination." -- rando convenience store customer in Clerks, 1994

Schrodinger's dipshit, ugh

Fast food joints already offer lower prices in their apps than at the drive through. You pay the difference through all the data they harvest.

Now we know where reddit took their profit strategy from

Shit, some of them charge the authors to publish.

They missed that thing on Matabele ants treating wounds on each other with antibiotics. The ants have done this for so long that they've evolved goo pockets to hold their ant-ibiotics https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-events/news/detail/news/ant-antibiotics/

The failure was in supplying nitrogen to an array of 16 freezers. Unless samples were split and stored in different arrays without the same coolant source, they'd still have lost everything.

It would be easy enough to create multiple sample sets to be stored that way, but it'd add an extra variable researchers would need to account and test for in their work as well as reducing sample capacity by at least half. A place as mighty and prestigious as the Karolinska Institute probably has a ton of graduate researchers, too, and everybody knows those people just graduate and leave all their shit behind without clearing out old samples.

The whole thing is heartbreaking.

Whenever I see a toddler with a cold or the flu, I feel extra bad for them. They're all congested, sneezing, coughing, possibly pinwheeling in the bathroom... a lot of them have never felt worse than that, and it's like, "I'm so sorry. You've got decades more of this to look forward to, little friend"

Oh, geez. I grew up in the US of the '80s and '90s and was talking to a friend about all the abortion clinic bombings we had back then--like not just murdering doctors (although that did happen), bombings--and how, thinking back on it, that was a super fucked up normal to grow up with.

Libraries are entirely about the free sharing of information, and supporting everybody's ability to access it. 👍🏼👍🏼

Bringing me back to 1996 😆
