Wait until you hear about the laws in place that guarantee them access to water their fields no matter the drought. Nobody has heard of an unkempt golf course.
When I first saw her casting, I was doubtful. But she was spectacular and completely flipped my opinion. Same with Amos. They producers really did a great job finding great actors.
Avasarala was perfect from the first frame. She walked off the pages of the book.
Ducks: Antonio, Amy, Sonic, Capri-Sun, Sir, Lady, Mama Duck, Coco, (the late)Chanel, Cayenne, Legs, and Judy. I don’t have any good pics of them all together close-up.
I do! I’d love to have more birds, but $$$ and space lol. I will tell the dogs that Lemmy says hi. I can’t see my birds or cats until January at least because I had foot surgery and I’m staying with my parents until I can drive. My parents are taking care of the critters at my house for me and I have the dogs with me at my parents’ place.
Yeah man talkin bout dang ol 𝔖𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔞𝔡 and back o’ the dang ol cave man. Talkin about fighting off dang ol skeletons with my bb gun man and dang ol sunuvaguns just come right back man. Just ain’t right.
This gave me an idea for a fantasy dramedy about hobbit moonshiners. Unfortunately, I’m not a writer so if anyone wants to take my four word pitch and run with it please do
It’s the way Tinder renders. ‘Lives in’ shows up in the language/alphabet of the app of the creator of the profile, while all other headers are processed in the language of the viewer of the profile.
It actually serves as a decent trick for learning the language settings on the app of a person who’s profile you’re viewing.
Fun fact, most people in the world are trichromats, they have 3 types of colour sensors in their eyes. One type of colourblindness that only affects men is where they only have 2 types of sensor and are dichromats - the gene is only found in the X chromosome, and it’s impossible for women with two X chromosomes to get the deficiency. However, it’s possible for women to get super genes and have 4 types of sensor, making them quadchromats. These ladies can see colours in between two other colours, that no one else can see. However, because the world is built by and for trichromats, this gift goes by largely unknown even by the people who have it.
I don’t have this condition, but just guessing: couldn’t you eventually figure it out if you noticed that cameras (which just use RGB) couldn’t capture certain distinct colors that you could see?
This is not true. That women cannot have the congenital dichromacy (or anomalous trichromacy) that biological males commonly have is flat out wrong. A biological female can still be a protan or deutan, but the phenotype requires that both X chromosomes carry the recessive color vision-deficient alleles. Nevertheless, given that ~8% of all X chromosomes have such a gene regardless of sex, the incidence in the female population is still around half a percent, which is not insignificant.
Interestingly, one form of tetrachromacy in females actually has the same cause as color vision deficiency in some males (specifically anomalous trichromacy). From what I understand, only one X chromosome is active per cone cell, and which one is active is random. So, half of such a person’s cone cells of one type are “normal” while the rest of that type are anomalous and have a slightly different peak wavelength. The net result is four different types of cone cells, i.e., tetrachromacy, which may have an incidence of more than 10% in females.
X-inactivation is a little bit more complicated than that. While the process of X-inactivation initiation is random, once a cell has settled on one chromosome, all its daughter cells will silence the same chromosome. The initial process happens in the early embryo, so large patches of the body have the same X chromosome silenced.
This pattern is visible in some animals. E.g. a tortoise cat’s pattern arises due to the hair color gene existing on the X chromosome. Consequently, male tortoise cats are rare (XXY, XXXY etc only)
Neat, thanks for the clarification. Even though the initial proportion is 50/50 for X-activation, are there scenarios where one daughter line is more prominent than the other, or does it usually remain 50/50?
Statistics would indicate that that is a plausible scenario.
In addition, a uniparental disomy can occur as well. Here, the X chromosome was duplicated in the egg cell. So the exact same X chromosome is inherited twice.This is an error in meiosis. This could occur in XXX (with the third X from the father’s side), XXY, or even XX. That latter one would be rare, for a uniparental disomy on X without a third sex chromosome would mean both egg and sperm cell had an error during meiosis.
You could also see a single X (Turner Syndrome) as a 100% dominant X-chromosome. But that may be semantics.
the gene for red green color blindness is carried on the X chromosome so a woman can have it it is just very rare. Now blue yellow color blindness is much much rarer and carried on a different chromosome so men and women have it equally
Do people think that having 4 criminal cases pending against you is meaningless? Like… This is accurate and prosecutions are moving forward. The fuck do you want? That’s how it works.
I assume it’s just the pace, but overall there’s plenty of reasons to be frustrated.
There’s already talk about how some of these cases might not be resolved until after the election, at which point, depending on how it goes, could be extremely problematic.
It feels frustrating because it’s mid-2023, and we may “run out of time” by end of 2024. People ask what the fuck was happening for 2.5 years? The reality of course is justice is not always, nor necessarily should be swift, and getting these investigations even started takes time to say nothing of collecting evidence and putting together a case. But also, 20 years ago even a single criminal indictment probably would have spelled the end of a Presidential campaign, and instead, Trump is successfully fundraising off of these charges and leading the polls.
He stole from charities and comitted a plethora of other crimes, if the DOJ was doing their job, he should never have been in a position to campaign for president in the first place.
