Ugh this is a bad idea. How will the Democrats shake their reputation as a party full of out-of-touch elitist political insiders? How about another nepo baby, but this one says the fuck word so he's cool.
Can someone explain to me how I managed to misplace a six foot ladder between Monday and today
Idk about economists but this is how my high school economics teacher used the phrase. (Yes he was a football coach, why do you ask?)
I'm an adult and most of these things are foreign to me lol. I guess you can be "kids these days" still at 25.
Hey being a child is no excuse for being unemployed.
I think most of us instantly click the video as soon as we see y'all's characteristic title font. Not sure I'd even notice if it was just lorem ipsum
Because she was bought in on the whole IQ thing, my high school biology teacher insisted that you *cannot* study for an IQ test, and that you would get the same score taking it as a toddler that you would get later in life. I was... skeptical of this assertion lol.
Y'all are meant to be (www.mta.info/fares-tolls/...), but I know from experience that the standards for who qualifies for accommodations doesn't always cover everyone who needs them, so you have my sympathy there.
They are exempt from paying the fee, so I think it must be pretty great for them actually, better traffic.
Is there an exchange policy on bodies? The whole hypermobility thing sounded cool on paper but I've decided I'd like one that doesn't throw its shoulder out every time I play pickleball or something
Always a mistake trying to force weird microbes you found to fit cleanly into manmade categories of behavior haha. Although this just seems like an analogy that turned into something more during a game of telephone.
A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes.
This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .
The "old guard" isn't literally referring to age, but tenure within the party. It's important to have some turnover so that fresh faces and ideas can revive the party which is very clearly in decline -- you can see it in their limp, "roll over and play dead" response to the current administration.
Ahh I remember my own version of this conversation. Then my parents wondered why they saw so very little of me during my teenage years. Luckily they turned it around after I reached adulthood, but they were just ignorant, they didn't have the contempt this parent has.
Transposable element enthusiasts at #Evol2025, please come by posters I12 on 6/22 and E17 on 6/23 to chat about horizontal transfer of Ty elements in yeast and oliverlevine.bsky.social's new method to predict TE insertions in pangenomes.
Have you tested this in other organisms? I'm curious how the % of the genome that's repetitive (in addition to the length of the longest repetitive element) will affect this #.
A young, impressionable, naive girl of 35 😔💔
The Magus solo TTRPG book and the box for the Oracle, a set of cards that are meant to help with inspiration while playing!
Just got my copy of the Magus and the Oracle by @momatoes.com and very excited for it!
Yeah. *Population genetics* is based in biological reality. Africans and Europeans have different ancestry. But *race* is a social construct.
Other countries' scientists are as brilliant, and most public policy is designed to sustain the existing scientific infrastructure... would take major shakeups for other countries to absorb big shocks like this. I think the more likely outcome is fewer scientists, not more scientists outside the US.
It's not that easy unfortunately. The US has a big economy and high % of GDP in science funds; we essentially have a plurality of the opportunities to work in science the world around, and I don't think other countries have enough vacant positions absorb all the scientists who want to leave.
Ah, I'm glad their budget won't be affected by our stupidity. They do important work.
The fan being *on* has not deterred these birds from trying to nest on it. Their solution? More nests.
Suggestions? 😂
Which is only marginally helpful to the person who originally asked the question, and entirely unhelpful to people with tangentially similar issues who are finding the thread later haha.
Usually I learn by looking up other people's previous questions and seeing what people said. This works great for python, C++, etc., but for some reason R folks answer questions like "Your code is dumb, here's completely different code that actually works, bye" unaccompanied by any explanation
I recently had a scientist I respect very much tell me that knowledge is outdated now that we have chatgpt. And while I disagree lol, I will give him one thing. Chatgpt is way more helpful for R code than any human person who has ever known R. 😂
What could the profs possibly say that would make the school look worse than this does?
Assuming you're not interacting with it regularly, I figure someone who has encountered the word once or twice (but doesn't use it regularly) probably wouldn't make that connection unless you referred to it in a way that gave additional context clues, like "on the lettering, the kerning sucks."
It's not really an academic thing, it's more of a media sphere thing right? I figure most people who've heard the word kerning and would immediately understand it in this context, are people who read similar news sources to you. Like I recognized it immediately but I didn't know the word a week ago.
Honestly whatever random citizen asked him this question should primary him. They'd honestly probably have a great narrative for their campaign.
