One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right....
Someone recently donated 5 twenty pound turkeys to us. It took a few days for the first one to thaw. I broke it down and got 8 pounds of meat for canning and made a three day stock out of the rest, which just came out of the canner. Four more turkeys to go.

Is there a reader app that is accessible on Android for comic books? Is there some sort of free repository of every comic book? (I assume not.)
β-Arrestin recruitment is a ubiquitous mechanism of negative regulation of GPCR signaling, which has been demonstrated for almost all GPCRs. Recently, β-arrestins have been shown to act as signaling scaffolds for numerous pathways, such as Akt, c-Src, and ERK 1/2, in a G protein-independent manner. G protein and β-arrestin...
Histological staining plays a critical role in the visualization of tissue and cell structures. Living cells or fixed cells have very few inherent colors and only very small differences in the refractive indices of their component parts. By staining tissue sections, pathologists and researchers can view tissue morphology...
Amine-reactive dye CFSE (carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester, also known as CFDA-SE) is widely used in cell proliferation and in vivo cell tracking. CFSE is non-fluorescent until it enters viable cells, where it is hydrolyzed by cytoplasmic esterase enzymes to release fluorescent amine-reactive dyes. These dyes then...
I got my car (2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE) new 3 years ago at $25k for a 6 year loan @ 0% interest for entirety of loan, $350 a month payment. I’m about halfway paid off and have about $12.5k left on it. What should I do? I just get sick of paying $350 a month.
I saw a lot of chatter in a mental health thread about wanting an area for men’s mental health. Having had my own issues I thought I’d create a space and hope for the best on its growth. I’m not much for words so here it is...
Wife and I decided to do another watch through before the new episodes. The 7 year old caught a couple and now he’s hooked. His favorites to quote are Bender and Zoidberg. It’s especially cute when he goes “wub wub wub!” At the grocery store. I’m so proud.
most people i know use google by searching whatever question they have and including the word “reddit” at the end to find reddit threads since it currently has the most useful information....
Every couple months I get the urge to organize my lab/home office equipment into a rack/cabinet, but never follow through on it. I ocassionally look on craigslist for deals, but everything is either too far away or too big. I’d rather pay more for a smaller rack that doesn’t go all the way to the ceiling and will just show...
I mean, what do I say?...
As someone who’s very excited about the new season, as most of the people here I guess, I’m really happy that we get to see the gang again and mostly I feel like it’s going to be as epic as it was....

I’ve been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i’ve still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone....
I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I’ve seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?
Just thought it was funny that looking back I’ve used Reddit for over 10 years and I never actually paid them a dime. I feel really good about donating so much money monthly here, though, because I have so much hope for this place and a brighter future for us all in the fediverse. So glad to have a place ready to catch me when...

Title. Pisses me off mildly. I’ve got my earbud in for a reason (quick drive) and Bluetooth decides to connect to the car when it starts. The cars’ head unit takes forever to start and have to manually switch over to Bluetooth mode (while the audio is already playing) and the volume is way down....
