a quarter is half of a half.

im having a good run since I havent died early, but I’m like 1 billionth on the ladder so doing relatively poorly.

I don’t type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm.

I’ve recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails.

i just got these exact razors in the UK, but some blades such as Astras come in cardboard packaging

The truth of academia is that it is extremely slow. there are less than 20 minds total on all of earth working on this idea, separately, in different countries. And these 20 people are in their 20’s, severely underpaid, don’t necessarily have all the resources they want, and science may not be their #1 life priority.

anyways:

reading and writing DNA is the main driver of evolution, and it does so because it is error prone (causing mutations). You can imagine this is bad if you want to preserve the integrity of the data.

DNA storage would be okay if you were to… say archive the entire internet for future generations, or geneology records, etc. things that do not need to be written and accessed quickly or often.

i was told the increased surface area caused by rusting provided a better environment for tetanus

most scientists are great at speaking. Your research is only as good as how effectively you communicate it. You don’t have to be a TED talk speaker, but generally most scientists can put together a logical story on what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and why you should care. (That’s how we get funding, but convincing people that it’s important).

i disaseemble all my laptops so they are just a motherboard, screw them into sheets of MDF, place vertically, and use them as servers.

NAS, pihole, plex, etc
