Currently playing Horizon Forbidden West which is full of yellow markings for climbing/grappling holds, but they explain it as her having an augmented reality headset to highlight the climbing surfaces. There are also the tall grasses she can use for stealth cover that are always homogeneous, 2 feet tall, reddish and with fireflies at night.

I would wonder about a harmful algal bloom in the mill pond as a trigger

Is the docker repo unaffected?

This is what I worry is the case. Either he is drinking his own kool-aid and doesn’t realize how unpopular these policies are, or he knows there will be no real election. Either scenario is very bad

Yes, I might figure that out if/when Beeper starts to enshittify

Beeper is pretty good. I don’t have it mirror Signal because it kind of defeats the purpose, but works really well to unite WhatsApp, Instagram Messages, FB messages and various other ways people keep in touch with me without having to open the spammy apps involved

Yes it was extremely annoying. Had to dial in and do some very hacky phone code entry. Then it would work for a few months until they tweaked something on back end and it would cut out again. It was a shame as I actually liked Samsung Messages; I know people criticized it as duplicative, but it was cool how it would sync across devices, fit in with native one UI style, etc.

It did have RCS on T-mobile, though it was a bit restricted, couldn’t run on unlocked phones without some dial code tinkering. I gave up on it after a couple years

They discuss in the article

Always been perplexing to me why this didn’t do better. News As Facts is a decent replacement for repackaging current events info from Wikipedia as a convenient feed

The Roman Empire had well-developed associations known as demes,[2] which supported the different factions (or teams) to which competitors in certain sporting events belonged, especially in chariot racing. There were initially four major factions in chariot racing, differentiated by the colour of the uniform in which they competed; the colours were also worn by their supporters

Early hooligans?

It needs to happen because the MS Edge product manager has to meet some sort of arbitrary user level to get a bonus

it’s not about selling it as a product. it’s about determining what molecular pathways are interchangeable between plants, fungus and animals.

They synthesize a ton of stuff with bacteria these days! Bacteria are really good at making almost any compound you can think of! I think with this study, part of the novelty was harnessing multiple molecular pathways in animals, fungus and plants, all with with analogs in a single plant. A lot of the paper was about discussing the different enzymes available in the plant, like a kind of toolkit that just had to be tweaked

Yes, this is basic research, which generally starts with common model organisms that many labs have access to. This increases reproducibility of the early results. The study mentions expression of the relevant genes and proteins in the buds as well, and also calls out one of the pathways in tomato, so perhaps the next step could be to test it in other nightshades and their fruit

They used an Australian wild tobacco that is widely used in genetic research, so not the American domesticated tobacco https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotiana_benthamiana

Exactly. He’s done most of them

Clearly they’re Iranian ICBMs!

I’ve never been big into eBird but I love iNaturalist, which sometimes gets similar critiques. Personally, as an ecologist I think anything that increases people’s attention to biodiversity is a good thing. If some people get too drawn into the gamified aspect of it, that’s their problem

A game that could be won with one simple step
