I completely agree with you and am happy that my employer peddled back when the decided we should all come back to the office. Going to the office has many more negatives than benefits for everyone. I sadly learned that a lot of local city councils give incentives and tax breaks for companies to bring back the people so they can stimulate the local economy by eating the unhealthy shit that we can usually find around offices and be stuck in traffic for an hour.

Thats his point. No need for genocide if other options are available. Many many Germans supported the Nazis and denazification after ww2 was a thing

A switch. There are a handful of good games but I prefer to play on my computer

Whats so revolutionary? Stromatolites have been found 3.4 billion years ago from Australia. How is this “unknown prehistoric world”… clickbait is all it is without much content

dpunked ,

“unknown prehistoric world” sounds like a major discovery. If the title of the article would have been “stromatolites discovered in remote lagoon from 1 billion years ago” it would not have implied that some new “world” was discovered. If by world we just mean unknown habitats, well voila, everywhere you look there will be unknown prehistoric worlds. Find a fossil of some super known, cosmopolitan species but in a new place, voila, new world yet unknown to men discovered. Idiotic.

Dude, while stromatolites are not common today, they are not unheard of. There are still some active ones in Australia, Peru and the Bahamas. Every single thing on this planet can trace a direct line from the first live when it evolved. Thus, everything on this planet has the same age. Even if a fossil could suggest that some organism has not changed much for millions of years, we can not look at the cells and their genetic makeup to infer if other significant changes have occurred not reflected by the fossil remains.

Why do many microwave ovens hum in an interval of a minor 7th?

Something that I’ve noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I’ve used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly 60 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around...

Do you also observe this when running the microwave on max power? Usually, when a microwave states its 800 watts but you can adjust it down, it actually only changes the duration that power is supplied. So 400 watts would be 50% of the time the power is supplied at max.

There is a nice easter egg on the page, it has to do with the crowbar at the bottom!

Maybe I am reading this wrong but it looks grim. Downward trends all around

dpunked ,

Why should they do that?

Which means nothing and I will still wait for actual reviews after the release

Russian geneticist gets probation for DNA smuggling. Discovery of vials prompted alarm at airport (apnews.com)

Customs agents were alarmed at their discovery last August at Dulles International Airport: an undeclared cooler packed in a suitcase and filled with 10 test tubes of an unknown yellowish substance, brought to the U.S. by a woman claiming to be a Russian scientist....

This sentencing is so non-sense because it rather shows how the legislation for scientific samples is often not really there or sensible.

During my PhD I was working on rather obscure marine invertebrate animals called Bryozoan. To any normal person they look like some algea or plant matter. I had to collect live specimens and transport them from one European country to another by airplane. If I would follow proper procedure I would need a vet check the health status of the animals at departure and arrival. No vet ever has looked at a bryozoan much less has any clue on how to access their health. So the conclusion was to simply throw them in a cooler and hand this in as the luggage. When asked whats in the cooler I just said „mostly water“.

Almost everyone in the academic community would frequently transport DNA, RNA, Antibodies, Animals and other unique samples by just placing it in the luggage. There is hardly any real alternative in an industry that is strapped for money (basic research is almost always poor)

Teams, right?

dpunked ,

Its cool tech but far from Consumer hands. While open source its also rather expensive to build (at least for end users). The projector costs more than 2k and the rotating platform is almost 1k. Other parts I did not check :)

If it would be 1k or so I would build one

dpunked ,

Oh for sure super useful. But when he said its open source I was ready to start building this thing. But 5k+ in total build costs is a bit steep for me.

This is a board game community ;)

Its just cleaner to sit, thats it, I am lazy to clean the bathroom every two days
