Mice are excellent models for many diseases but not all. When possible we study cell culture, then mice, then humans and there are rigorous ethics committees that require justification for the study, we don’t just do these studies for no reason. Their metabolism and physiology is pretty similar to ours, which makes them useful to study inflammation, cancer, diabetes and other malignant/metabolic/genetic disorders. They have a 21 day gestation period and research mice are essentially all clones which eliminates genetic variability as a factor (making them excellent for reproducibility in a timely manner)
some drawbacks include the spine, they’re haunched which makes it difficult to study something like scoliosis, we do this in zebrafish actually. Also I believe they have some mild immunological differences like ratio of circulating white cells and bone marrow differentials and minor differences in some proteins. Basically anyone doing these studies has years of training and really knows what they are doing, they would not be allowed to conduct them unless it was absolutely necessary to answer a specific question. Mouse work is a lot more complicated/interesting than this but I think I’ve made my point for now.

lol, the ps5 controller alone is enough reason to purchase over the xbox. I have both and games are just more fun on the PS5, its better in every way.

For what its worth my experience wasn’t a giant cruise ship it was a small yacht with maybe 10 of us on board, we only used it to get from island to island overnight.
- Comment on Cute 1 week ago:
Its not a giant cruise ship, it was a super small yacht that fit 10 of us all done as sustainably as possible. In general I agree with you I wouldn’t touch a cruise ship with a 10 foot pole, they are definitely terrible.

11/10 recommend. We did a cruise that hopped between islands and I’ll never forget it. swimming with sea lions, hanging out with boobies (blue footed, nasca), really cool hawks, crabs, iguanas, and my favourite the frigate birds! They look like dinosaurs and have nearly a 6 foot wing span and will hover inches above your head near your boat, they’re so cool!

Animals are so much more chill when there are no predators. I took a vacation in Galapagos a few years back and most of the wildlife is like this, they just kind of stare at you for a second and go about their day.

Ya thats fair. My comment came from my point of view which is channels like skillup and dunky, they work their asses off and have teams that cover breaking news and stuff. I used to watch a few streamers but would rather spend my time playing than watching, its just personal preference.

And talk about games critically, playing for personal enjoyment is different compared to playing for game reviews, walkthroughs ect. its a job now, not a hobby.
- Comment on That sounds like a fun thing to do 3 weeks ago:
I always thought a cool idea for a book or tv series would be deep dives into random people’s stories. I love that stuff. interesting work, sports, vacation, cool possessions, life events and achievements…
