  • It's nice they pulled this nonsense during a steam sale. Cancelled and picked up halo mcc and silksong.

    • What is something in your house (a piece of furniture, a tool or houseware) that is more than 20 years old?

    Jump

  • My Xbox 360 is 1 month away from being 20 years old.

  • Growing up in the church, Mormons were views as just as Christian as Muslims, Jews and atheists, while Jehovah witness were extremist party poopers.

    • When rich people can edit their kids DNA won't that just lock everyone else out and create a new class?

    • Anime with a high death count that's actually good?

  • You should watch Iron blooded orphans, it's a standalone Gundam series in its own universe so no homework needed. It has great writing and animation while telling the full story in 2 seasons. For me it's a watch once anime because I don't think I could put myself through the trauma again. Also on a similar note if you just want trama porn watch Victory Gundam.

    • A New York court has temporarily blocked the city from installing a bike lane in response to a lawsuit from local businesses owners, who alleged it would compromise public safety

  • Over head tracks have a support structure underneath that causes blind spots.

    • A Stanford University professor wrote an article about how the grad students going on strike are supposedly extremely selfish people

  • I finished my Biochem PhD in 2023 and the only way I survived the 6 years of indentured servitude was by working from 2014 to mid 2017 in the pharmaceutical industry. I saved and invested every penny I could, then moved to Pittsburgh where the $23,500 pre tax stipend went a bit further. Also, graduate student in my department were banned from having any other jobs, and yes it was enforced. One of my cohort had got in serious trouble working at the museum and one had minor issues when they picked up a faculty member while driving Uber.

    • Best automatic litterbox?

    Jump

  • You want the meowant automatic litterbox that rotates on the x-axis. I paid $300 for mine and my mom's 2 years ago and it's been awesome. It's simple, easy to clean, big enough for my cat, and fits normal grocery store sized plastic bags for collection. It has an app and I didn't start using it until about a month ago to track my cat's weight. Before buying any automatic litterbox I would read about the dangers and never buy one that rotates on the y axis or has any possibly of trapping your cat.

  • My father gave up red meat and soda around 2002. My dad's clone, my uncle didn't give up anything. Yes they are clones, I sequenced them myself. Since then my dad has always been at least 20lbs heavier than my uncle despite having almost identical activity levels since they had similar jobs and shared hobbies for most of the time. Now 23 years later my dad has heart congestive heart failure and a torn meniscus in his knee while my uncle has a perfect heart but has needed both knees replaced. I think the biggest difference is definitely the sugar because my uncle tends to drink diet soda and my dad fruit juice, tea and coffee.

  • Definitely not, enshitification is real. I've gone from someone excited about new products to I don't trust anything that I didn't build. We are currently discussing moving our group chat off discord, but I'm biochemist and my circle are similar professions and I'm still learning how to properly host things.

  • In the before times we used hamachi, but it was hard. Eventually, Skype was born and it was good and easy. It worked like a phone and many StarCraft 2 team games were won. But Skype was corrupted by the many Nigerian princes and hot Ladies who only needed a few dollars to turn your life around. This corruption was then baked so deeply into windows it took registry edits to exorcise it. But all was good was we now had discord which took the ideas of hamachi and Skype and delived a better experience than both.

  • You'd be surprised how much money gets wasted of stupid projects and acquisitions in biotech because some suit think they understand science better than their R&D team. For analogy sake think about all the stupid shit Microsoft bought and killed or all the chat apps Google created and killed, this going to be Regeneron's Skype.

  • If you really want to get your parents sequenced for your own personal use without it going into a database it'll cost you about $500 per sample (cheaper if you know someone who can extract the DNA for you). You'll get a set of fastq files for the reads that will cover almost their entire genome that you can then use with public databases or just store for future use. Another option is to sign up for a university study but you'll have to be comfortable with their data use.

  • I honestly don't know what they will do with snp data. These investors and VCs have been running scare peace articles for the last two years to drive the company into bankruptcy so that it could be sold and the data harvested. But I honestly think people are really overestimating the value of a dataset showing how different people are from a standard template. It's good for ancestry and correlations but people forget they didn't fully sequence samples. I fully expect the news cycle to change once they figure this out as they try to get people to resubmit DNA for nextgen sequencing, so they can try to salvage their investment.
