Troy Hill? Doesn't look like Rialto Street but similar angle.

I don't know why this is surprising to anyone. Clones wi be even less similar than identical twins, who usually have distinct enough personalities that their friends can usually tell them apart. Clones will have random differences plus different in utero and childhood environments!

Have you ever cracked an egg into a stir fry to make the soy sauce nice and creamy?

Ahhh! My recurring stress dream is that I realize that I was supposed to be taking a math or chemistry class but I just haven't gone all year. And it has morphed into was supposed to be teaching a class.

Talk like people - call lies lies, corruption corruption, and grift grift.

There needs to be a giant billboard in every major American city that touts this. In any other era except this suicidal science administration, this would be a miraculous, wondrous thing.

I guess because I work with 18-22 year olds, and if ine of my advisees or students were as obviously having a mental health crisis as this kid is, I'd be on a Teams call with student support services.

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.

The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.

The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

"What happens to a plane without pilots?"
Is something I say pretty often now.

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

Well this is pretty terrible.
Any time you see rhetoric like "clean the impurities" it's a bad sign.

A gentle hubbub of "downregulated five-fold" and "go to Process Binary Mask" and "you see these dotted bars here" ...

My pre-MSc class is talking amongst themselves, working in groups to anaylze various datasets I've thrown at them. (Genomics, proteomics, microscopy.) Very lovely background noise to my scrolling!
