Sort of... No I was thinking back to 2008-2009 actually, sorry, I should have been clearer about that. Something else most forget is that during the low (or real negative) interest rate time of the 2010s, plenty of talk about how more infla

Yes, but online cliques like "accelerationists" are said to exist. Sounds like they are anarchist-like, trying to accelerate the destruction of society. Anyone else hear about this? The wiki seems to indicate thar this, too, pre

Great, I'll copy/paste your notes into an email to myself. Have you ever looked at a microscopy stains catalog? The most beautiful images you can't imagine. Just a different world. At the moment, I'm mostly concerned a

Yes but the flip side, is that we lived in Indiana for a while. Very cheap living there. So, keep your expenses low, with no debt. Freedom.

Oh how cool. They are motile. Flagella to move upwards. It does not get any cooler than that. Thanks

Sorry, can't tell you that, I let the microbiologists do it for me. They were very possessive about their instruments, like I was with mine. So... how are you doing it? I bought a $29 microscope from China last week to look at the b

yeah so true. Kind of like how the Fed sometimes misses on their actions, it's not realtime data, always looking months backward huh?

I brought a sample of "pink snow" back to the lab- common at high altitudes in California. Under the scope, the algae were pink spheres. Extremophiles are so interesting

Hate to say the obvious, but it's all about supply and demand. The field I was working in 30 years ago was "hot" and the hourly wage has dropped at least 5x since then. Sure, in the last 20 years I did "development&quot

I keep a dozen website adresses in my head, and just use those. It's all original content and when one of them goes to the dark side, I drop it. But sure, if you use platforms that algorithmically serve you slop, it's a dead int

I was just about to post the same question. I thought the problem was billions of social media users giving it all away for free to the big platforms. What else is left to give? They already give away content, privacy including location da
