I don’t think there are many Freemasons around anymore and most of lodges that remain have probably adapted their rules.

I thought it was just their T100, the CFX96s I’ve used don’t have the touchscreen but yeah the bigger “lid” does look like for the CFX.

Top left is a thermal cycler. Basically it heats and cools samples at a given rate. This is primarily used for generic PCR, and certain enzymatic reactions. Top right is the fancier version of this, it is for qPCR, so it can do the heating and cooling and has a laser/detector for the dye or probe that reacts to generating more dna with each PCR cycle so you can quantify approximately how much of the target DNA you had.
Bottom right is a luminex. This uses detection of fluorophore signals to measure multiple analyates, usually different proteins.
Idk what bottom left is.

Chili just needs to be hearty and filling. Meat and beans are great for this purpose. Having an appropriate ratio is important and the types of beans is also important (doubly so in vegetarian chili). Meat should be on top but shouldn’t overpower everything else.
- Comment on Is this what every election is like? 1 week ago:
There are no good guys. That said no I don’t want to be under the Chinese surveillance state especially as a non-chinese. India also not great at the moment though. Those are just the two main countries with the population and domestic production capacity to potentially go toe to toe with the American military, probably still need some help from Europe…our military is so damn bloated.

Well I doubt the orange cares about deporting people to the correct country so you might get more problems…sorry.
- Comment on Is this what every election is like? 1 week ago:
Would take China and/or India in that case. Europe and Canada don’t have the population, Mexico probably doesn’t the will.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 week ago:
Well start figuring out how to get it as a ballot measure in your state now then do what’s left of our democracy a favor, swallow your pettiness and vote for the lesser evil until you get RCV in your area.
Greens and other parties are only doing favors for the facists as things stand right now.

Yeah, well, I did my part. ml and hexbear certainly didn’t.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 week ago:
While this is a large part of it, a significant thing I think is that you get a lot more enthusiasm voting for something than against something. If she was campaigning for things I didn’t hear it above the constant “orange shit is an orange shit”.
A number of terrorist bomb threats to predominantly democratic polling locations in swing states and other fuckery may have also played a role.

That’s biochem. O chem is is this reaction a substitution or replacement. Does this catalyst make a product in cis or trans orientation. Etc

Was licensed as a domestic shelter, wildlife is a separate license. He never registered the squirrel. He released it once and it came back with a broken tail and he didn’t take it to a vet and then he kept it for 7y and used it for online performances to get money.
Just like always headlines twist the narrative and no one looks at facts.

Useful in quite limited scenarios besides as food for something else. Dependent on/creating rotting stuff. Disgusting to most people.

For the extant creatures you give them something they want to bite on and stick a measurement thing inside of that.
For extinct creatures see other comment. You compare anatomy and do math.

Didn’t like everyone watch Steve Irwin do this to massive crocs like all the time.

$50/mo for internet is a relatively low rate for the US unless you’re lucky enough to live in one of the few places with municipal internet.

Dating apps do work enough that people use them. Heck I met my wife through a dating app. When I was single hearing that would just frustrate me because I couldn’t even get matches and at a certain point of that I had to take a break for a year+ just for my mental health. But it did eventually work out.

Oh they got fat i.e. blubber but the water’s cold and they’re always swimming. Krill aren’t fatty enough that you’d run into high fat/sugar diet problems.

Transcription:
My lawyer just called and asked if I was ready for court tomorrow. Said hell, yeah, I ain’t goin’ see I been spending the last 6 months booby trapping my entire 500 acres. I got snake pits, rolling logs, bear traps, I got some straight up Indiana Jones shit. I got a fucking boulder that’ll fall down when you open my front door. 120 coyotes that I trained to bite anything with a crew cut and a badge. I flew an old Vietnamese man or here, he helped me dig about 12 miles worth of underground tunnels. I have 450 cameras. I’ve rigged the solar panels all around this motherfucker. I got a Bengal tiger locked in my fucking bathroom who’d kill for a pork chop right now. You know it’s surprisingly easy to teach a raccoon how to loosen log nuts and cut brake lines. If rather live the rest of my life in these woods living of fucking wild ginseng and creek water than go to fucking jail one more time. I don’t even try bringing no helicopters round here neither like I got a whole fucking coop of pigeons with c4 tied around their feets got a bunch of pvc pipe filled with gunpowder and ball bearings and a baboon who is deadly accurate with a nail gun.

Computer scientists won the physics Nobel for some machine learning algorithm. Supposedly, they used physics to create the structure of neural networks for ML.
A couple computer scientists behind alphafold also won part of the chemistry Nobel.

Gotta bring the racists in.
Also it is at least anecdotally known by a lot of people that Indian/Chinese and general Asian work culture is bad. A large supply of workers, caste systems, etc mean capitalism has been riding very high and very strong for a long time.

- Comment on With a budget of $120 million, Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" grossed only $4 million on its opening weekend, making it one of the worst box office openings for a $100M+ movie to date. 1 month ago:
Honestly, don’t think he has much acting chops from what I’ve seen him in. Largely unexpressive and when he is expressing something it doesn’t make me actually feel any connection to that emotion. Mostly, just another gloomy stoic white man. He’s got a weird face and decent fitness but that’s about it imo.
