I Binged it on DuckDuckGo and got really interesting results about gender differences in blood plasma.

The base pairs are off and that irritates me more than the art - at least that has the excuse of being evocative or something.

Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.

You know what, the high arctic probably looks similar to that prehistoric moss-covered landscape. Because moss is pretty much the only thing that can survive there (and some very small plants).

The joke would have worked a lot better if Larry’s friends were different shapes. There’s no visual reason why Larry is the only one that can act as the key.

When you do, please post a picture of her expression so we can compare with the fox’s.

No scholar would ever tell anyone else to become a scholar. More like “Run! Run while you can! Get away from this cursed existence!”

Gotta love oligotrophy. Some lichens grow inside rocks… definitely can’t replicate that in a lab (although not for lack of trying).

I hope no mad scientist ever plays with that gene 😅

No mad scientists, just regular scientists working on regular fruit flies. What could go wrong?

The boycott is “organized crime” in their eyes.

Agreed, look at all the natural variation that was lost. The newcomers don’t convey the same intensity of emotions.

P.S. “extant” means still in existence, I believe you meant “extinct” :)

Edit: I only now realize the image is also incorrectly labeled. It’s a perfectly understandable mistake, anyway.

I’ve noticed that too! I wonder if it’s some sort of watermark generated either by the meme generator program or by the website hosting the image. Anything I see on FB, for example, has these weird artifacts, or even entire words blanked out or garbled.

Thank you for this beautiful example of using “defiantly” correctly!

And leeches. Can’t forget the leeches.

Look up “thigh gap”. Not saying I agree with it, just that it’s a thing.

The stupid terminology in immunology made me hate it so much, even though the actual mechanics are fascinating. At some point my brain just reached saturation with all the CD proteins. Enough is enough!!!

I doubt you saw all that for 2-3 minutes, but if you’re happy with what you saw then that’s all that matters, really. Enjoy April 8th and clear skies!

If you can travel to be in the path of totality that day, DO IT. I have seen 2 total solar eclipses so far. While the deep partial phases (>95%) are amazing on their own, nothing compares to actual 100% totality. Only during totality can you safely look directly at the Sun (because it’s entirely hidden). Only during totality can you see the Sun’s corona for several minutes, as a whitish ring of light around the black hole that used to be the Sun.

Be safe and clear skies everyone!

Yes. In totality, you can safely stare at a black hole of a Sun for 2-3 minutes on end, no glasses required, and marvel at the fine details of the corona and the intense red-pink light of the chromosphere. You get to experience a profound bone-chilling realization that we are on a literal rock hurtling through space.

I am very new to the world of CS but I appreciate precise vocabulary. Is my understanding below correct?

• Sorting = Assigning each object to one category (“bin”).

• Ordering = Like sorting, but the categories themselves have an inherent hierarchy/order (numerical, alphabetical, etc.)
