Lol I legit thought

whoa a gel electrophoresis meme, I wonder if anyone recognises the sequence.

I recall that Canada was working on a long-term nuclear waste storage facility. I looked it up, it’s a 26 billion dollar project.

It’s not a hypothetical issue, it’s a political issue. Political issues are real issues.

You can’t blame Grassy Narrows first nation for opposing the location of the nuclear waste facility near their territory. It’s a community that’s been decimated by industrial waste.

I support nuclear technologies where sustainable energy isn’t feasible but I think people aren’t wrong to consider a waste a problem. It’s not an absolute showstopper, but it is something that is part of the challenge of building nuclear facilities.

I also don’t know a lot about the nuclear fuel life cycle, but don’t you think it might be more complicated than this?

Breast feeding is a huge amount of work, asking a person to do that and have a job is a big deal. Pumping breastmilk is incompatible with lots of jobs. If they have already stopped breastfeeding they may not be able to restart.

It would be great to live in a society where breastfeeding was normal and easy. Society is crazy and women shouldn’t be criticised for trying to exist within it.

if the Bible does say being gay is a sin

It doesn’t say that.

you are basically saying sinning is okay

I think Christians think that everyone sins, if only they believed in a way that people’s sins could be forgiven.

What about Matthew 7:12:

In everything do to others as you would have them do to you

Would you have others tell you to be ashamed of something you can’t change?

Use a bowl ffs

I had a friend that didn’t eat figs for this reason.

Genetic incompatibility - the interspecific cross could only occur one way.

This could be human male-neanderthal female (HMNF) coupling didn’t result in fertile offspring right? Could it also be that HMNF (coupling) didn’t result in fertile female offspring, but did have fertile male offspring?

Human genome contains significant contribution from Neanderthals. Because of the location of the neanderthal genes in our genome it can only have come from male Neanderthals.

“was” vs. “is”

The purpose of my idea is to average 2g without expecting people to function in 2g. Not just for the purpose of a weighted blanket

What about accelerating 1g for 16 hours of ‘day’, then 8 hours of 3g ‘night’. It would be one hell of a weighted blanket lol.

It’s a neat idea for sure, but the out of place artifacts are rarely/never as mysterious as people like Graham Hancock would suggest.

Younger Dryas wasn’t as catastrophic either. Nor are flood myths as unified.

It’s fun to imagine possibilities like that but I can’t conceive of how a society could advance to a nonphysical/digital technology paradigm without impacting the earth in enormously detectable ways.

I think it’s interesting to imagine a scenario like what if European explorers shipwrecked on a place like Rapa Nui, the most isolated inhabitable place on the planet. How many generations could they maintain knowledge of the globe, and their culture.

Obviously the Polynesians basically maintained their language (ie it was identifiable as a polynesian dialect) for ~500+ years in plausibly total isolation.

I was going to say you can envision Tau as a carpenter’s square measuring the diameter of the circle

Aspen: you can tell it’s an aspen because of the way that it is.

The sooner they hire someone the less time they spend understaffed and the more they have to pay whoever the hire. It’s not a huge difference but it is also not zero.

It just won’t affect the company whatsoever.

When does a company decide to recruit? It’s when current employees can’t handle the workload and/or move projects ahead on schedule.

Not being recruited increases the hiring cycle time and means the development falls further behind schedule.

It’s not nothing.

Yeah we humanize them because it’s important to remember that essentially anyone that ends up in their position will behave similarly. They aren’t demons, they’re humans. We should stop putting people in their position.

It’s brown, right below the big snow bank at the top

Can anyone recommend anything to watch out for in BCs lower mainland? (Climate similar to Seattle)
