I saw this headline and my first thought was that someone was claiming that a mind impacting virus that evolved in the ocean was causing scientists to do research with less ambition. Which is of course ridiculous lol. But a bug in a visuali

Personally I just wish the self checkout voice at CVS didn't sound so aggressive when telling me to put the item in the bagging area. I'm on it lady, no need to be so pushy. It makes me uncomfortable lol.

For me I'm trying to visualize tetrahedral-like shapes and finding what needs to be the "inside" and "outside" of these to eliminate crossings.
