Absolute facts! I vote 16-18 because you have a chance (perhaps not legally) of getting into clubs, but you also have an amount of free time that regrettably I did not comprehend at the time

Sitting out on my enclosed patio, heard a young voice speaking conversationally from the towpath: "when I'm 30 I can do anything so I'll be playing out here all the time. And anyway when I'm 10, I bet I'll be allowed out more too" 🀣 #canalLife

I wonder what these people think when they see other fraudsters get away with huge amounts of cash, whereas fraudulent science authors just get away with their name on an article they don't even deserve

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest it means "murine rodents", but I'm also loving the idea of "marine rodents". Sounds very cute 🐁🀿

A female of the species homo sapiens was the possessor of a small immature ruminant of the genus ovis, the outer most covering of which reflected all wavelengths of visible light with a luminosity equal to that mass of naturally occurring microscopically crystalline water. Regardless of the translational pathway chosen by the Homo Sapien, the probability was 1 that the aforementioned ruminant would select the same pathway.

Don't know if I'm being dense (it isn't deliberate!) but if's not super clear to me how the Python bit was supposed to work... I can see the input but how do I refer to it in the code?! Or should I just have typed in all the numbers (since you can't copy/paste easily) πŸ€” unless I missed it somewhere

Hi, are you an academic biology lab in the Boston area? I am a lab manager at a local biotech and I will be getting rid of a lot consumables in the near future (as will many of my colleagues, unfortunately). If you would be interested in free consumables, please reach out to me!

🎡 So, Kitty can't wait
His dinner is late
Thinks it's quarter to nine
He's fading away
He myows and myows in hunger
Every day 🎢

🎡 My cat thinks he can state
That he never ate
Can't remember last time
He thinks he's losing weight
He myows and myows in hunger
Myows and myows in hunger
Every day 🎢

Google search results for "can i mine arkivoc" (no I don't always search in natural language but I did just now; shoot me)

AI Overview:
No, "arkivoc" cannot be mined in the way that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are mined. "Arkivoc" refers to an academic journal published by ARKAT USA, Inc. focused on organic chemistry. It's a platform for publishing research, not a digital asset that can be mined for computational resources. 

Here's a breakdown:
Arkivoc is a journal: It's a scholarly publication, not a cryptocurrency. 

Mining is for cryptocurrencies: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rely on a process called mining, where computational power is used to solve complex problems and validate transactions, earning newly created coins in the process. 

No mining for Arkivoc: Since Arkivoc is a journal, there's no mining process associated with it.

That's what I did, and that's where I saw it doesn't work :(( it said the document was corrupted, and I can then open it but every individual line of text is a "field" (like a text box) like it came from a pdf or something. Not had this issue before!

I have a weird one: the letter spacing in titles in one of my pptx files randomly shifts. Like, before your eyes. When you switch slides the letters are far apart, so you go to next slide & back again and suddenly it's normal. All font settings are as they should be. Tried a few things but no fix

I wrote my most recent CV (and only one with current job) in MS Word, then uploaded to Google Drive for storage, where I keep everything. Today I learned Google Docs has completely mangled it even though it's still in docx format! 😭 Feels like total betrayal.

(No I'm not job-searching, lol)

Ah yeah, I did used to use Opera VPN but forgot about it as haven't used it for a while. Ridiculous to have to do a workaround, but if it becomes necessary I guess I will. Thanks!

Yes! But I can't read it without verifying, and I don't wish to verify 🀣🀣 there's just a little 1 there (possibly forever?)
I don't know when I'll give up on this effort; maybe some time. Or maybe I'll just check my DMs when abroad πŸ˜‚

Uh I (we) can no longer send direct messages in the UK without doing this stuff... I guess, don't DM me because I won't see it? UK's fault not Bluesky's

Haven't seen this on LinkedIn so idk what the deal is...

A small moth that looks like tree bark, in the Seek app. The app has identified it (correctly, I believe) as a "double-striped pug"
