Can we take a moment to appreciate the rendering of transposable elements as mischievous little scamps in this Medeiros et al paper? acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #PlantScience

Two people riding one lime scooter inside the skinny buffer lines on Lyndale Ave because there's no bike lane. My reaction: Good. It builds character. In my day we rode in traffic, we got run over on the way there and on the way back, and we appreciated what we had.

one thing the Kylie doc should make crystal clear is we simply do not appreciate Dannii enough

would this save on infrastructure? no, existing roads can't handle this. well the technology is easier, right? nope, would need far better automation than exists. surely, it's safer though? guess again.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

I am so confused by this article. Who are these people who are so embarrassed to be caught shopping at Aldi that they felt they needed to make excuses? Is this a regional thing? My image of the Typical NPR Listener includes "feels mildly smug about all the money they save shopping at Aldi."

Honestly, the packages panel in Positron is kind of The Big One.

If you want to accuse someone of "playing semantics" you need to have a functional grasp of language.

All this Neovim setup: will it pay off?

me after learning #rstats chose %notin% instead of %nin% for the R 4.6.0 release

I haven't seen Speed Racer since it's original theatrical run, and I am stoked.

Me but for botanical gardens.

Cores: Too many. RAM: Too much. Storage: NVMe. Cables: unmanageable.

You would think that getting the liquid directly on the processor would make a liquid cooler even more efficient, but as it turns out: No.

Thrilled that my first new short story in several years, "Constellations," about astronauts crashlanding on a distant planet, has been published by the @technologyreview.com. Acquiring editor Rachel Cortland. Art by Rogan Brown. Free link to avoid the paywall: ter.li/r3tbrsgr

Sometimes you’ve got to do it scared

If I had replaced my CPU cooler a couple of days earlier I wouldn't have had a problem, and if I'd waited another day to take it in for repair the problem would have been obvious.

LED diagnostic lights are less useful when every motherboard is blinking 4 different colors all the time anyway.

Roses are red Trump is lugubrious

The thing that's really growing on me about #tidyplots is that once you know a couple of "prefixes" you can build most of your plots just by looking at autocomplete.

As someone who works in Markdown a lot, it is frustrating how much hassle it can be to render them.

A lesson some folks never got as children: You can't have a friendly debate with people who aren't your friends. That's just called a debate. Also, it's a great way to annoy the shit out of strangers who didn't volunteer for it.

“If you’re not sure if you’re funny by 30, you’re definitely not funny“ is the meanest truest shit I’ve ever read

I forget that every year is apparently the first year that most people become aware of how award shows work.

I come in like "Oh yeah, movie x looked like something that was probably going to win awards" and then find out that people are WORKING THROUGH THINGS using the movies as surrogates.

as a "never watches awards shows" person, it's just interesting to see reactions.

I cheated: I put 5 on hold at the library and read them in the order they were available. Return and repeat. 🤷

Plenty of academics have already commented on this with the most obvious flaw - grad students aren’t “merely” employees to whom professors outsource running experiments. But even in industry, thinking of junior employees as drones who can be replaced by AI is a problematic fallacy we should avoid.

They're saying he's some sort of ghola, a Tleilaxu face dancer, they're saying his face dances can you believe that, they're saying he is some sort of Zensunni philosopher

Some people may need to brush up on the levels of government in the US.

I hear Domino's is going to take over the tactical driver training.

"Number of weapons found: Many!"

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt. Take the damn money and leave me alone.

This is especially apparent if you try to stay informed on any conflicts in Africa. Thousands of people will be killed and it will barely get reported.

It does feel like the big divide within the socialist left is between those of us who have discovered This One Weird Trick to actually get elected by running in primaries and those who are angry and suspicious of doing things that way

Must be a rope Dom the way he works that command line...
