In study after study, modern genetics research is murdering blank slatism, and it's quickly becoming a bloodbath.

Marxist biologist Stephen Jay Gould (who is still widely read and taught in academia) once said: "There’s been no biological change in humans in 40,000 or 50,000… https://t.co/DhxRwitE3f

Imagine bunch of Indian guys working in USA factories remotely while living in extreme poverty working for less than a dime, 12 hours a day, without any benefits the west world provides or even a chance moving in the country despite working in it their life off. What a great world we are ready to unlock!

Of all of the things I might want a robot to do, why would I want it to babysit my kids? It's like we're intentionally trying to create a dystopia.

i'm guessing some Indians are teleoperating them

The Nazca Lines are an amazing sight to see.

It took nearly a century to figure out just 430 of these Nazca geoglyphs, but now AI nearly doubled the number overnight, adding 303 new geoglyphs to our knowledge.

AI might've also revealed why the Nazca lines were constructed!🧵 pic.twitter.com/QTT5io3pJ9

dude got his death wish:

• absurd landing attempt without reason

• ignores direct tower commands to do it his own way

• ignores dire cockpit warnings

• confuses warning systems with stupidity not thought possible

• lands without the gears being put down

• takes off after scraping both engines on the pavement

• lacks basic preservation instincts with following low altitude dual engine failure

• never informed the tower of problems

• pathetic mayday call without using radio

• fireballs airplane into houses 1km from the runway

• somehow 2 people survive

Low pay, long hours, no advancement. Job market is absolutely terrible. Can barely find a job opportunity and when I do the pay is almost always $22/hr or below. I graduated in 2019 and have been working since. Still don't make more than 45K a year and I'm pretty sure I'm about to get laid off...again, and will probably have to take an even lower paying job to make ends meet. I don't live anywhere near a hub and don't intend to because this is where my family is and those areas are not somewhere I want to live and raise a family. I wish I would've known this when I was younger and didn't listen to the people around me telling me to follow my dreams and all that bullshit. This career path feels like a dead end. About to leave science altogether and pursue something useful like a trade. Any other middle America biologists out there that can sympathize? I wish I would've got a useful degree. Can't even work in a hospital lab because I need a medical science cert. What a piece of shit career. I feel duped by the college system but at the end of the day it's my fault for falling for it. This whole field relies on other people's money to fund it and produces very little in return. Frick biology.

!ifrickinglovescience !chemistry a cartoon from 1954 explaining in simple terms the production of vinyl chloride. That's the thing which escaped into the air after the derailment in Ohio a couple of years ago and it's the main compound to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the polymer used to make plastic pipes or for "vinylic piso/floor tile" that !macacos and other LATAM countries use in their office spaces, and the third most produced polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene.

I begin by testing each of the teeth for precious metals content to assess which of the teeth actually contain PMs. Then I dissolve the teeth in hot Aqua Regia for several hours. Once cooled, I filter out any remaining solids from the solution. These solids may contain rhodium or iridium because neither of these metals are soluble in Aqua Regia.

I'm clearly avoiding finishing this video.

I rendered the final video yesterday, had my wife watch it, and she her feedback was "you're just putting yourself down for like five straight minutes" so I gotta redo the narration.

I've recorded 90 minutes of narration today and deleted it all in frustration.

For chads with customizable hotkeys on the keyboard, what are yours doing?

Mine is a Corsair K55 with six macros on the left edge

• G1: Escape, in case I miss the normal Escape button

• G2: Escape, I think I had it doing something different in the past and did this out of laziness.

• G3: Delete, Control+I, Enter. Used to quickly remove a chunk of audio and replace it with a half-second silence.

• G4: Move the cursor to a specific location, right click, move, click. Used to select 'Shape Volume' preset to fade out / back in on a certain section

• G5: Right arrow button. It gets too annoying moving my hand between the arrow keys and G3 when I'm editing out breaths and coughs.

• G6: Types 'MILK', as requested by my cat
