Oh wow look at what the tides have swept ashore. A Pringles can, some rubber gloves and a few sponges.

Glial cells, not neurons.

scientificamerican.com/…/human-brain-cells-make-m…

Human glia derived myelin sheaths are better, faster, and, in some mutants, can repair damaged sheaths better than rodent ones. Since myelin is what makes the action potential travel fast and efficiently along a neuron, this means smarter mice. Since there’s generally very little immune activity in the CNS, you have a much lower chance of rejection.

JokeDeity ,

Thank you, that’s incredible!

That is incredibly neat.

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.

After watching their promotional video with a French Swedish Chef blasting flies on sweets while doing a dance I'm sold.

Stovetop ,

Seems kinda messy to be shooting salt all over your living space, though.

AdNecrias ,

At least its salt, quite inert, not sugar

dubyakay ,

Well, you can lick it right up after and get your extra post-workout sodium and protein.

hactar42 ,

It’s really just a small pinch of salt that comes out

AdNecrias ,

I wonder how that fares against cockroaches…

There was/is a solution but it is hated by the crowd.

His fish part is designed like he’s just a human wearing a suit, not like an actual fish.

Fizz , to asklemmy in How do you organise your music playlists?
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Playlists organized by a certain sound. But I have a liked songs playlist that I add lots of songs I like. Never big groups of song though only 1 or 2. When I want AAA variety of music I start the liked songs playlist from the most recent song down til the last. I never go to deep so it’s like a core sample of my music tastes over time

The beginning of Flowers for Algernon, or how I was introduced to the story through the movie Charly.

ReplicantBatty ,

That story was amazing but so crushingly depressing, highly recommend

Flowers? Depressing? Why?

ReplicantBatty ,

Being intelligent and aware of everything and then having that intelligence slowly taken away from you, feeling your mental capacity diminishing day by day while still having the awareness that it’s happening, it’s pretty heavy stuff. It really brings to mind my grandmother’s decline after she got Alzheimer’s, she was slowly losing herself and for a long time she knew it was happening and it was painful to watch, not to mention how brutal it must have been to experience it.

Flowers for Algernon is an amazing story, but it hits pretty hard after watching it in real life.

JokeDeity ,

Both good, but let’s not forget this legendary modern retelling:

How do they keep birds and other pests from shitting on them or eating them?

ayyy ,

The secret ingredient is habitat destruction!

intensely_human ,

Laser turrets

Kecessa ,

That’s the secret, they don’t!

Same with sea salt, if you think you’re only getting salt then I’ve got bad news for you!

IsoKiero , to selfhosted in Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?

Jitsi works, and they have open relays to test with, but as the thing here is very much analog and I’d assume she’d just need to see your position, how hands move etc, the audio quality isn’t the most important thing here. Sure, it helps, but personally I’d just use zoom/teams/hangouts/something readily available and invest in a decent microphone (and audio in general) + camera.

That way you don’t need to provide helpdesk on how to use your thing and waste time from actual lessons nor need to debug server issues while you’ve been scheduled to train with your teacher.

afk_strats , to selfhosted in Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?

I’m not sure if this solves your problem, but it’s an opportunity to plug Jamulus . It’s FOSS, and one of the best solutions if your target is uncompromising sound quality/latency. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do video. I’ve jammed with a band on it and was very successful. Vide was on a phone or separate machine. When we performed, video was mixed by another user using OBS, and streamed on Zoom
