This is a map of signaling pathways in a cell. Essentially, how does a cell detect a stimulus and how does the cell respond to it. Signaling networks are notoriously difficult to parse, in major part because many of the proteins that make up the network are promiscuous (meaning that they target many types of proteins instead of just 1). Think of network as less of a series of defined steps and more of a chaotic mess. It's so chaotic that most maps will select a theme (ie, hormone detection, stress signaling, infection, etc.) and only show the interactions that are relevant to that theme. Unfortunately, that also means that each map will show a network that's completely different from the others, even though the proteins are the same.
The joke here is that it's very tempting to make another map. This map is finally going to solve cell biology, I promise, we just have to make another map. Ignore the fact that we already have so many maps, just one more map is all we need
This is an unnecessarily rude comment that just proves that the parent comment was right in saying that you're an unpleasant person. I hope you reconsider what behavior you consider to be acceptable
Thunder feels most similar to Relay, which is what I used for Reddit. Honestly, I get the feeling that all of the apps are pretty polished and are customizable enough that you can make one look exactly like the others
In the book, it's fairly clear that he did kill everyone but only got away with it because 1) nobody can tell anybody else apart because everyone looks the same and 2) everybody is so self-centered that even if they did know a murder took place, they didn't bother to report it.
It's very heavily implied in the book that the landlady covered up Paul Allen's (and multiple other prostitutes') murder, presumably to maintain the property value of the apartment. Unfortunately, a lot of the clues don't translate well into a movie:
- The apartment only recently became available to rent
- Bateman notes that the paint on the walls is still fresh, barely dried
- Bateman notes that there's a lot of potpourri laid out, as though to cover up a smell
- Iirc the furniture was also brand new
- The landlady immediately knew who Bateman was and asked him to leave
Reference to an Aesop fable. In the original version, the scorpion stings the frog and both of them drown. The moral is that some people are intrinsically harmful, even against their own self interest
The cat clearly isn't ashamed. He's doing it to the sign as well
Seems likely that it's dropshipped. So I would wager there is no real source
You seem to be confusing what you want with gender roles. Nobody said that men must make the first move. Many satisfying relationships start because women make the first move. But by consequence of the fact that you want a relationship, it naturally then follows that you'd have to make the first move.
IMO using props is a poor move. Might get your foot in the door, but it'll be obvious that your interest/commitment to the prop is not genuine. People can tell if you're acting, so I would ignore any comment that tells you to imagine and act out a scenario - doubly so if you're using a prop.
The trick is to realize that a cold call almost never works. There is a very low chance that any one person you run into on the street is looking for a relationship, and an even lower chance that they'd be willing to bet on a stranger for that relationship. So you're facing 2 filters that are lowering your chances that any one person you meet would want to get into a relationship with you.
You can't affect the first filter, but you can at least change the second filter - just don't be a stranger. It's easier said than done, but it's possible with concerted effort. To put it bluntly: be amicable and be social. Put yourself in situations where you meet people, and befriend them. And you are by far more likely to run into a potential partner from the people you already know than in a public park. I don't even mean to pretend to be friends - I mean actually be friends. Socializing has a compounding effect where the more you socialize, the more people you get introduced to. That's also important because of the fact that you can't affect the first filter. Clearing the first filter is really a numbers game, to simply know a lot of people.
You'll need to learn to maintain a social circle. Based on what I can tell, you seem to either be an introvert or have social anxiety. And honestly, I understand. I can't say that the process will be easy or that it's fair that extroverts have a leg up in the process, but the unfortunate reality is that society is built upon the assumption that people are social, and you have to play by those rules. The upshot is that more people are willing to be in a relationship than you'd think, and you don't really have to expand your social circle that much or maintain it that well before you come across someone who agrees to be in a relationship with you.
OnlyOffice. Newer and somewhat less features, but the UI is so much better than LibreOffice. I've been on a quest to find the best Office alternative and OnlyOffice is what I've settled on
I personally prefer way the things they are now (show downvotes). I'm not quite sure what the reasoning would be to hide downvotes on a user's own posts?
To me, that sounds like it'll create more issues than it'll solve. Part of why it's difficult to get rid of large journals is because people like the centralization. Even beyond the obvious pride aspect of getting into an exclusive journal, a big reason for having journals is that it is much easier to find relevant papers if they're collected and catalogued into a small number of large repositories (ie, journals).
Federation intrinsically has lower discoverability, and it is difficult enough to find relevant papers that you want. And due to decentralization, it is more difficult to separate out the troll articles from the serious ones. That doesn't matter if federation is used for a social media platform or if it is used for peer-to-peer communication, but it seems to run counter to the purpose of publishing scientific articles.
And that's not counting the issues that you would have with the review process on a federated service

Mmmm, no, very mammalian
Sort by Scaled. That fixed it a lot for me. Sorting by Hot or Active or whatever the default is tends to bury the smaller/nicher communities, causing the feed to just be a bunch of news articles
Man, I'm not even old, but reading this post makes me feel old. And I'm certainly on the younger side of the spectrum for those who use Lemmy
There's a lot of things to unpack here, so it makes sense for me to just list them out:
- your boyfriend seems to have some manosphere-esque tendencies. To me, it seems like it'll be important for you to talk about this with him. The manosphere teaches young men about false truths and causes them to interpret the world in unusual, misogynistic ways. I don't currently see any indication that he's solidly in the manosphere, but it sounds like he may be influenced by it. It will be important for him to acknowledge and refute those influences if he plans to have any form of satisfactory long-term relationship.
- it's not your fault for receiving unsolicited sexual messages. Both you and your boyfriend will need to acknowledge that fact.
- building on the previous point, getting sent an unsolicited sexual message does not and should not damage your relationship with your boyfriend. It's not like you cheated or broke his trust. It sounds like he may have some unclear expectations for you that are impossible to meet. I would guess that it ties back to the first point about him being influenced by the manosphere. In any case, this seems important to bring up to him.
- it is definitely your fault for sending false nudes to other people. If/when you are approached with an offer that you don't like, the appropriate response is to say no, not to scam the other person.
- it may not be your fault for getting unsolicited messages, but from a purely practical perspective, there are certain things that you can do that either encourage or discourage that sort of behavior. It sounds like you perform some sort of gig that tends to encourage this behavior. If you do not wish to get these sorts of messages, it would be a good idea to reconsider whether you should continue doing this gig
- it's important to learn, truly learn, that a relationship partner is someone who adds on to your life, not someone who completes your life. If you believe that your boyfriend is the only good thing in your life, I would recommend that you consider that this opens you up for exploitation or abuse, either intentionally or unintentionally. It sounds like you are affirming his manosphere-esque tendencies instead of calling him out on it. This will lead to greater strife and friction in the future
I imagine it must be some other mechanism of action? I find it hard to believe that the CO2 in that bit of coke could cause its stomach to expand to the point of explosion, but it does seem likely that there are some other ingredients in soda that are very harmful to birds
Crappy paint memes are an internet-honored tradition
To specify, this was a retroactive correlation from a time when the Romans thought that maybe the barbarians were worshipping the same gods but just used different names for the gods. To my understanding, they drew correlations to a handful of other religions too
Fwiw that qPCR curve doesn't look that bad, just don't have the y-axis be in log form
