Wow, I just find out about a service that would allow me to read the occasional post on X just in time to see that the service has been suspended. I have a total embargo for that platform otherwise due to the severe and total enshitificatio

My grandpappy told me that if you want a good crop of pawpaws you have to hang a dead cat in the tree. I think dead cats were in greater supply back in his day. Fascinating flowers for a tree though. Red meat color and odor only a fly could

That is super cool. Unfortunately I cannot access the original article to see the methodology, but they mention using a system that can track individual ants in a colony of ~100. I wonder what kind of biometrics allow that. The ants do not

Thanks, I was trying to recall that article. Fascinating stuff to this non-expert.

Interesting story. The lack of dramatization might have something to do with making Nazis sympathetic characters. Hogans Heroes aside.

Poor Billie’s snoot! Glad you are such a caring owner. Please consider the nickname “Tycho Brahe” for her.

Thanks for that, super interesting about sieches. A standing wave not directly from the moon or waves.From the wiki: Lake seiches can occur very quickly: on July 13, 1995, a large seiche on Lake Superior caused the water level to fall an

As pointed out above me, 250-300 micrograms is what you likely meant. You might have to hunt for such low doses. I split a 1 mg tab in quarters. Repeated studies have shown that there is not an increase in efficacy, but there is an increase

Trying to wrap my head around the term "cultural practitioner", even after looking it up. Don't we all transmit our culture?

I think the style is intended to evoke the way the story developed at the time, as drips of new information came in on the news. I stuck with it and am happy with that decision.

For anyone interested in the therapeutic (or otherwise) use of ketamine, I strongly recommend the autobiography of John Lilly, the neuroscientist who developed the sensory deprivation tank. His discussion of ketamine-aided spiritual entity

Besides the achiral glycerol mentioned in the article, some bacteria subsist on methane. That is also non-chiral and in large quantity in petroleum and under the sea.

Yes. Some bacteria have D-amino acids (such as D-alanine) as part of their cell walls (which otherwise contain almost entirely L-amino acids). D-amino acids are also sometimes incorporated into drugs that are synthetic peptide mimics in ord

They say in the article that capillary action draws the coffee along the narrow edge. This is aided by surface tension, just like how water is drawn into a capillary tube.

Doctor-chemist here. You are correct. The carbon-fluorine bond is very inert to metabolism. Ingested Teflon would be almost entirely eliminated unchanged. Takes pretty harsh conditions to break Teflon, but interestingly it can react with ex

Besides the well-known opioid peptides, such as the endorphins, the opiate morphine itself is endogenously produced in humans as a signaling molecule. This was a controversial and highly surprising finding to many in the neurosciences.

I wonder about the dosage you might’ve been taking. Many, many people take much more than needed, and higher doses are more likely to have adverse effects. 250-300 µg is an appropriate dosage for most adults. Note that common over-the-count

Note that a number of well-known drugs violate Lipinski's rules. For instance, digoxin is absorbed by transporters and violates 2 rules. Atorvastatin is another famous example (again 2 rules violated). I believe that it is absorbed thr

That is an interesting implied addendum. However, there still seems to be an acknowledged favor granted, while the French and Spanish phrases I understand to mean that no favor was granted and no thanks are needed.

I am a native English speaker, and may be wrong about this, but I believe that the use of "de nada" from Spanish, and "de rien" in French to mean "you're welcome" suffer from similar loss in translation. D

(Ignoring the editorialization) I believe that the comment is referring to cutting off the cling-wrap to open the case, something that would likely be done by customs in any country.

Brings back pleasant memories. I certainly loved the one I had as a child. I can still smell the _almost_ burning plastic that the device created in operation.
