The one sub I miss. Wish there was a hexbear comm for it, as the lemmy.ml one has like 3 active users before it died over a year ago

They make quality stuff for the prices, an old job got a bioreactor (basically a carboy for homebrewing wired with sensors & computer-controlled pumps) for $25k from a Chinese manufacturer. They later sold it to the Open Insulin project & used the money to buy a textured vegetable protein extruder from China to make vegan deli meats. Both had kinda wonky unintuitive user interfaces, but they were solid pieces of hardware

Reminds me of the funny pharmacology of Navalny’s poisoning, according to the chemist that got crank called by Navalny & Bellingcat in that CNN documentary. The chemist said he smeared 10x the lethal dose in his blue underwear’s waistband yet it took an hour to take effect & he survived throughout the entire duration of the emergency landing at Omsk plus ambulance ride.

Common misconception. This agency’s acronym actually stands for Fellas Seeking Bros & they operate a VPN’ed backend for the Sniffys app to help vacation planners organize fraternal socialist kisses.

Just outside the frame is Cuthbert tinkering with his weather machine

Gotcha, I didn’t consider the video call aspect cause my grillings were in front of 10 of my peers where I had to draw out the electron pushing mechanism for how the molecule I was researching produces hydrogen peroxide.

I did get it right after like 20 excruciating minutes standing in front of the whiteboard reasoning out the mechanism, but it was never previously taught to me by my PI.

The livestreamed collapse name is based on some old meme about how the future sucks & the only cool technology we have is some pocket screen to doomscroll the collapse of society & climate with.

I don’t get it?

I’m glad to see more Colonial Outcasts getting posted here, I’ve been enjoying its loose feel a bit like old Eyes Left was. A bit 👁️ that oft-recurring guest Elina Xenophontos follows Jackson Hinkle, but that’s petty stuff.

Is that why the IOF so heavily promotes its vegan war criminals?

I’d like to consider myself a freak with an amazing memory but, yeah, that on the spot pressure/call-outs were especially rough in graduate-level sciences. I get the whole in-situ “determine the limits of your knowledge on the subject” but damn if it didn’t feel like the primary investigator of the lab I was in just saw me as a lab rat to poke and prod for his curiosity when I was presenting research updates.

Also not fun to learn I probably had test anxiety for my entire scholastic career & never had accomodations suggested to me until I was nearly done with my coursework :/

Same, but I’ve still been thinking that I ought to go to an old boys’ match one of these years

Being the only defender at a breakdown is an awful feeling, everyone’s looking to blow you up from a full sprint & you’re just there, straddling your downed mate holding tight to their jersey like an asshole. Also refs don’t call through the gate enough

Oh shit, and here I was thinking ‘fuck you rocks’ lying just below the surface were the worst thing a paddler could encounter, not an ambush hervabore’s tusks goring your thigh then pulling you under!

Gundam (but Roman)-ass character names. Seeing it where some audience member has some conversation with Driver during the movie which seems curiously weird

Global achievement recorded in Israel - melanoma incidence rates have declined by 30% among Jewish women and stability has been observed among Jewish men

After a government education program to promote sunscreen use lmao.

Among the Arab population in Israel, melanoma is a rare disease and the morbidity rates amount to no more than a handful of cases.

How do you get the 30% reduction if you’re not as “white skinned” as we’ve been led to believe? Sounds like you’re just thin skinned because you know you’re repeating history.

lysdexamphetamine (Vyvanse) is an interesting prodrug version of Adderall that often gets joked about by Felix & a low dosage might address both the short half life of Ritalin while not keeping you too wired to sleep.

The strategy for Adderall XR is having slow release encapsulation, plus different amphetamine salts which take varied amounts of time to become active.

Vyvanse instead attaches a lysine amino acid to the amphetamine molecule, rendering it inert until an enzyme in your bloodstream cleaves off the lysine, yielding the active form.

This prodrug strategy eliminates variables that might affect the release rate of the active drug from an XR capsule before it hits your bloodstream, meaning you get a “spikier” release profile instead of a low & slow consistent dose curve. Variables like a lower stomach pH, which promotes quicker degradation of encapsulation material or how fast the various salts dissociate from the active amphetamine molecule. With the lysine prodrug it doesn’t matter how much of the prodrug enters your bloodstream, it’s release rate is tied to how quickly that enzyme can cleave the lysine off the amphetamine.

They’re a feddie plot to divide us spacenoids & steal money for dues that we could otherwise have spent on a PlayStation 17! I read it in the latest Q drop posted by those cyber newtypes at the 4Chanagan Institute

Inspiring words, oh great Degwin! With undying revolutionary zeal for the spacenoid cause, I shall triple my efforts as an optics tech at the colony laser!

Idk if you’re taking requests but if so can you have Degwin speak about his beautiful daughter, Kycillia, & future son in law Jared M’quve?
