Dominant reply here seems to be that Americans are dumb.
Other option is that they actually -are- OK with immigration but only if managed well. (and extremely partisan about who manages immigration well)
if bad people were all stupid wed have a lot less problems

wow! so excited about this study. It feels like this kind of data should be able to explain -a lot- about geopolitics and inequality. looking forward to dive deeper
they made 20 or so edits, how many would it take before you would call it an actual dire wolf?
Related, can you dive into what it means to -inherit- in biology? We always talk about DNA, but I guess you also inherit a piece of cell membrane, golgi, nucleus etc.
there's a thing called plant cell culture where you grow the cells without the plant:) there's a bunch of companies working on cultured cacao right now. First bar of chocolate has been made already
waiting until they start describing milk as an "animal based beverage", sounds gross lol
where do you find all these cool studies? awesome
Ripe tomatoes in a plastic container, grown from young fruitlets while detached from the plant.
I'd love to connect with the DIYbio community. I beleive technology only starts to live when you are able to do it in a garage / your bedroom. I want to take my plantless-fruits out of the lab. Where should I start if I want to connect with the DIYbio community?
oh, wait maybe I get it; when more money flows into the country this will eventually be spend either on importing goods, or investing in other countries.
The other way around, when more is exported, the money generated will have to end up in foreign investments.
I also don't understand this; from the formula it seems that whenever more capital flows into the country this always has to result in either less export, or more import. Intuitively this makes no sense.
Same here in Amsterdam! I wonder if we could lure them into our nature-inclusice facade so they can help curb our rat plague. Is that an ecological sound way of getting rid of rats?
power-seekers are charlatans, and use social media. But I think they also spread misinformation in real life. Just think about the high-school bully spreading fake gossip
she would be less
dependent on her spirit so
she said
“i don’t want to know how to make no rolls”
with her lips poked out
and the old woman wiped her hands on
her apron saying “lord
these children”
and neither of them ever
said what they meant
and i guess nobody ever does
her grandmother called her from the playground
“yes, ma’am”
“i want chu to learn how to make rolls” said the old
woman proudly
but the little girl didn’t want
to learn how because she knew
even if she couldn’t say it that
that would mean when the old one died
Lab-based instead of project-based funding while training leaders to scout talent from all parts of society
I think it is possible that rich people actually do more groundbreaking science because they have the funds as well as the safety net to focus on long-shot efforts.
Solving this problem then would require society-wide redistribution of wealth
I've got a perspective paper in the pipeline hope to share a lot more about this very soon!
beautiful read
Tomatoes growing without a plant. Nitsch, Jean Paul. The role of plant hormones in fruit development. Diss. California Institute of Technology, 1951.
On a mission to see whether you can grow fruits (&seeds, nuts, fruit-vegetables) without having to grow a plant.
This 1951 black-and-white image inspired my journey. A detached tomato flower forming a perfectly normal fruit in a reaction tube containing nothing more than minerals, sugar and water.
anyone seen a good meta-analysis of this? This is a very low sample size
those are good looking tomatoes
Introducing Arabidopsis monstrosa 🧙♂️
While not conventionally beautiful, she brings to life the imaginative possibilities of engineered flowers✨
thanks! I find Excel also the most useful for Gantt but never thought about dependencies and delegations, makes sense.
told a lot of people about this in my group, great technology
what causes them to become big?
yes! I read the referenced paper on 'Food without Agriculture'. It's wildly unintuitive yet very convincing that producing food directly from fossil fuels (or renewable energy) is better for the environment than the seen-as-natural process of agriculture
I've never looked beyond listing everything in an excel table, using some columns for sorting by category and a column with a priority score. Is it worth it to look into other tools? What do they offer that a spreadsheet doesn't?
There's people working on creating carbohydrates from CO2 as well. If we invest more in this type of agriculture, one day we can start turning farmland back into nature.
untill that time it may be worthwhile to grow some sugarcane in order to prevent tropical forests from being cut down
