Ich bin ein sechziger, nicht im Kindergarten. Man muß Dinge benutzen um mehr zu lernen.

Dieses Artikel ist schwer für mich auf Deutsch zu lesen. Ich habe ein paar Zeit die Übersetzungfunktion von Android benutzt.

Es macht Sinn. Ich bin "neurodivergent" und es ist schwierig manchmal Freunde zu machen. Ich sehe Dinge von anderseits. Freunde sind für mich wertvoll. Danke.

Turn off your electrophoresis machine, Luke!

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

As Fran was nice enough to highlight this, I thought I'd put up a brief thread. 3 in 10 proteins that our cells make are either embedded in membranes (ion channels, adhesion molecules, etc.) or secreted (insulin, antibodies). They move through the secretory pathway.

The best one was a grad school class on pores, using anything known in any discipline at the time to understand membranes. I took it as a senior.

I probably should not have been allowed to take the classes. I got an A in both.

Amazingly hard. Amazingly interesting.

You know all those metals that bind weirdly to other things? This is how you attempt to calculate their molecular orbitals. Think heme. Figure out the molecular orbitals unbound and bound to oxygen & CO, and how that affects the orbitals and what color they appear.

Then understand fetal hemoglobin.

You're very good! You are worthy of being supported!

Wow, that is incredible!

What does Elon Musk think about yelling "Pedophile Protector" at someone? That's just common banter, right?

In the late '70s, I took 2 Black Studies classes. One topic was treatment of Blacks by the medical community. The Prof pointed out that getting the body to produce fetal hemoglobin could cure sickle cell disease. He then pointed out Blacks would be reluctant to take it because of History.

Bingo 2/2

Interesting thing. It's low oxygen that causes the sickling. During pregnancy. The fetus makes fetal hemoglobin because by the time oxygen gets through the placenta, it's really low. Any fetus with even one copy of the trait would die.

Oh man.Thats a bummer. Glad you're OK

It's disturbing how many doctors don't know high altitude can cause a sickling crisis. There are other ways to accidentally cause a crisis.

Would it make sense if this administration has decided that there are no illegal orders? In war, anything will go?

I could even make a reasonable argument for that position. Thankfully I believe that argument would be evil.

For them, I don't think that's a show stopper.

How many were dead when he wrote the song?

The TV does not correctly display UV light that parrots can see. It was an old style TV with a refresh rate of 60, and the Moluccan can watch the image being painted on the screen. I don't understand how he can recognize himself on TV, but not in a mirror.

We have two larger parrots, a Moluccan and a CAG. Neither reacts to the bird in the mirror as themselves but they react to the other not being seen directly as a way to find the other.

Worth noting: I connected a video camera up to the TV directly. The Moluccan recognized himself on the TV.

There can be a variety of different damages to the brain where a human cannot identify themselves in a mirror. They are, with perhaps some exceptions, considered self-aware.

A dog may not understand the concept of "mirror" but still be self-aware. The test is biased.

Gödel would point out that the system of deciding something is or is not a cancer must have an example where the decision cannot be made by existing principles.

Mind you, a technology where you have to worry about Gödel when treating cancer is fantastic!

Humans don't pass the dog self-awareness test. When the human's personal odor is presented to the human, the human does not respond. Humans are not dog-like self-aware.

Dogs may understand self-awareness but not understand or have the concept of "mirror."

I wonder what Oliver Sacks would say?

I fled Twitter (mostly) but didn't know you there. I'll get to know you here.

You're proudly autistic.
I'm confused, autistic, ADHD, and wonder how no one noticed until I'm on Medicare?

I don't cause commotion. I am one.

My wife pointed out that no one gets Monty Python, Dark Star, or Soylent Green jokes because no one has seen them.

I'm old, aren't I?

I missed it by that much! [ ]

"...but it's not a chuckling app."

How can one talk about Biochem without a) commenting on gene and organism name jokes b) making a Monty Python reference c) expanding something that converges rapidly into a Taylor Swift series or d) going for old chemistry jokes like Wizard of Os or Ferrous Wheel?

I've read posts by students who graduated from Oral Roberts University and Liberty University who said she would have been flunked for that paper at their schools.

Continuation of article about Shark Bites Fruit Snacks, molded out of some kind of fruit slurry and gum and solidified into shark shapes

End of article about Shark Bites Fruit Snacks, molded out of some kind of fruit slurry and gum and solidified into shark shapes I woke up to check my blood glucose and saw this while doom scrolling. I'm doing a lousy job on the alt descriptions. I'm sorry. I'm half asleep. Ask me tomorrow and I'll look up the entire text and paste it up if anyone cares. Tell me I sent pictures to David about Shark Fruit Snacks. I probably won't remember this when I wake up, or I'd offer to do it.

I’m back after a 3 day suspension for sharing a link to publicly available police reports exposing Blood Tribe nazis. They also removed the post. Bluesky evidently prioritizes the protection of literal, active nazis over community safety. Unfortunately for BT, they’re already in the sunlight now :)
