And preferably whenever you do drugs for the first time, get a sitter. Everyone being drunk/high/tripping/whatever makes for a poor situation if something does go wrong.

I’m pretty sure that being immortal beings, they don’t have children.
The rest is up for debate
- Comment on Atmospheric Slapping Tournament 3 days ago:
Terms like “sense” and “tell” are a bit misleading. It’s very much a chemical/mechanical interaction that’s automatic. Rather like soap bubbles “sensing” when they’ve reached the surface of the water.
Plants contain a protein called phototropin, which is activated by light. When it’s activated, it changes the shape and alignment of the “skeleton” of the cell, making it more cube-shaped as opposed to long and skinny.
That means the light side of a plant gets shorter, while the dark side remains long. The dark side also grows slightly faster, on a count of having more cells there (you can fit more skinny cells side-by-side than wide cells), and so the plant angles and grows toward the light.

But that only kills those larva. Not the ones in all the ponds nearby.

I actually reached out to Cowan to asks a few questions. He was pumped that we were citing his work and using it in reclamation planning as landscape enchantments.
I’m in a completely different field, but there’s nothing more awesome than seeing your work get used in real life situations that actually match up with your goals.
And people showing a genuine interest is a close second.

Hey, I’m not even 40 and I remember getting to check out the cockpit of a plane multiple times. And the brown glass ashtrays at McDonalds.

There’s an excellent drink made from port, sugar, chocolate and flour, which is basically undrinkably thick when not warmed.
But I’ve always considered Kanar to be a sort of eggnog
- Comment on between medicine and this, we do not honour rats enough 6 days ago:
It’s not “kind of true”, they mark scent with urine. And they’ll mark all their cage mates too, and that includes their human.
But yes, rats are tiny and don’t pee on your house much, that’s true. They also absolutely have bladders (what a weird myth that is) and almost always potty train themselves to do most of their urinating in certain spots when not marking scent.

zebras live in anonymous herds. That is, they like to clump together to ward off predators, but they don’t know or like each other.
Zebra’s don’t like anyone, and they’re not afraid to show it. Repeatedly.

Honestly, “adult” is something you should do, not something you should be.
And LOTs of people are shit at it. Especially the ones who claim otherwise.

At that point, you’ll have to calculate the heat transport of the human body, and answer questions like “how long can a person live with frozen skin” and other fun questions I’m not equipped to answer.
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 1 week ago:
I can’t really find a good number for how cold you can get and not die, so let’s say 20 degrees. That gives 16 degrees.
Meat has a specific heat of about 3.5kJ per kilo per degree, so say you weigh 70kg, that’s about 4 million joules to lose before you die.
At 650 joules per second, you’ve got slightly over 10 minutes.
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 1 week ago:
If you could somehow prevent yourself from dying due to lack of pressure, you would radiate about 650W more than you generate.
That’s using the Stefan Boltzmann law, at normal body temp, perfect blackbody and 1.5m2 of skin. And then assuming 2000kcal a day.
You’d cool down pretty quickly.

Neuralink is actualy WAY behind the current state of art. What they’re doing with terrifyingly fragile brain implants, other companies can do with a skulcap that doesn’t involve snapping off bits of metal in your brain.

- Comment on Anon is worried about AI 2 weeks ago:
Translators are facing some big problems. They’re just now coming the painful realisation that a quality level of “low-to-mid” is acceptable for a LOT of stuff that would previously only have the option for “excellent” and “not at all”.
If you were in the business of selling excellent translations to people who only want low-to-mid translations, you’re going to be out of a job.

Here’s a lovely british fridge from the 50’s: c7.alamy.com/…/original-1950s-vintage-old-print-a…
the larger, budget model (250 liters, so about 2/3rd of my current basic fridge) is 152 guineas. For those of you not usally paying in pre-decimal british currency, that’s 152 pounds and 152 shillings or 159,60 decimal pounds. Inflation from 1955 makes that about 2000 pounds/dollar/euros today.
