  • Why wouldn't a random dude want someone like this out of office? I do too.

  • Yes, if I had sex at my workplace and got caught literally in public with my pants down, I'd expect (and deserve) to be fired. Come on. It is such a low bar to clear. Society has basic expectations

  • He copied it from another martial arts movie

  • Yeah, being knowledgeable is quantifiable. IQ is wishy washy and easily misused

  • I think being knowledgeable leads someone to be more liberal than they otherwise would have been. Less inclined to fear the outgroup and fear change. This is why a college degree is so associated with liberalism. I don't know how well that corresponds to IQ, which itself is kind of wishy washy.

  • This is what I worry is the case. Either he is drinking his own kool-aid and doesn’t realize how unpopular these policies are, or he knows there will be no real election. Either scenario is very bad

  • It needs to happen because the MS Edge product manager has to meet some sort of arbitrary user level to get a bonus

  • it's not about selling it as a product. it's about determining what molecular pathways are interchangeable between plants, fungus and animals.

  • They synthesize a ton of stuff with bacteria these days! Bacteria are really good at making almost any compound you can think of! I think with this study, part of the novelty was harnessing multiple molecular pathways in animals, fungus and plants, all with with analogs in a single plant. A lot of the paper was about discussing the different enzymes available in the plant, like a kind of toolkit that just had to be tweaked

  • Yes, this is basic research, which generally starts with common model organisms that many labs have access to. This increases reproducibility of the early results. The study mentions expression of the relevant genes and proteins in the buds as well, and also calls out one of the pathways in tomato, so perhaps the next step could be to test it in other nightshades and their fruit

  • Yeah, I am glad Minnesotans defended themselves. I just am very concerned about a cycle of mutual retaliation and cleansing getting kicked up.

  • I don't think he can unilaterally seize power, because you're right: not enough Republicans would support such a scenario. But I am concerned he can screw it up enough that no one will be able to accept the outcome. And as we saw with Minnesota, he can make an example of some cities and enrage enough people to trigger broader civil unrest.

  • I myself am quite worried there will be no election this fall. I am preparing for potential mass civil unrest this summer. But we can't let these psychos win in advance. They want to live in an autocratic country. It's important to keep the flame alive

  • This will not stop until the ultra-rich are destroyed as a class. They have constructed a parallel economy, and we are all their serfs. History shows this situation can't last and the question is whether they can be parted with their wealth peacefully or not

  • It's just a bad fuel in every way. This administration is trying to coerce us to use it
