Sorry, gone too far
A cranky biologist who means well. My hobbies include long walks off short piers and anything science related.

Ooh, since this is a safe space for dorks, I would like to be pedantic myself. Thank you for the opportunity. The oxygen catastrophe was caused by cyanobacteria-like organisms, which are photosynthetic, but are not plants. But it’s true, all bio-mass matters!
The Azolla Event. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event. I mean it is cool and the major climate shift it helped create certainly caused some extinctions. But plants can change the world, never forget!
Overboard, right?
Witness you, adulting so hard after the end of the world.
Interesting enough, Morgan’s widow became one of Joseph Smith’s plural wives. It’s a small country.
Idaho is just sitting there, not doing much of anything . . .
Keep sharing the tapes.
“Building on this literature, I propose a definition of shitposting that embodies four distinct elements: a reliance on absurdity or “meaninglessness,” the critique or disruption of online discourses, the employment of an “internet ugly” aesthetic, and the use of meta-languaging”
Good lord, it took them forever to spit out a coherent definition!
Does this paper itself represent a form of academic shitposting? I mean, the subject is sound but the convoluted and discursive presentation is maddening.
But, yes, shitposting is worthy of significant further study and all grant applications in that area should be automatically approved.

You are correct. Only loving the Honda Odyssey is toxic.
Back when Perl was the language of choice for bioinformatics, I found a huge performance boost pre-processing large (~1Tb) text files using built in unix tools like sed and awk with regex. So while it might take me a full hour to peck out the correct incantation, the task would then run in an hour, compared to four hours or more for the same task using Perl.
So many pipes…
It’s a Minnesota thing. The Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. It’s what I often wish the national party was more about. There’s a good wikipedia page on the subject. Prairie populism is my jam
Meanwhile, in Utah, a pair of new parents are becoming really charmed by the idea of ‘Brexit’ as a name for their next child.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again.
They need a fifth man. Let me check my calendar…
Don’t lump X with the boomers. We have had vastly different experiences.
I’m in agreement that churches need scrutiny, a lot more. But here is a church standing up for actual, biblically authorized Christian activity?
Jean-Claude Van Johnson deserves to be on this list, perhaps as a sixth best-comeback honorable mention.
