Then it sounds like you have a project in front of you, to find a way to make it happen at home!? :-P

If we cannot practice mindfulness breathing, then taking breaks seems (to me, naively, no evidence:-) to be the next best thing? An hour of social media as implemented by 20 stretches of 5 minutes each sounds preferable to me than rather than the same amount of time all spent contiguously.

I will never shut up about viruses - they are aliens on earth, or like something I dunno but they are so fucking cool!

A monophyletic clade must include all descendants. A taxonomic group itself can hold anything.

Viruses can also integrate DNA into cells and it sticks there forever sometimes, thus bypassing the tree entirely (making it a network, i.e. no longer acyclic thus no longer a tree).

There is a lot of weirdness in the world, stranger than people have dreamed.:-P

We have the best beatings in the world, because of dollar bills.

Oh really?

Well, now I just appreciate all the more your sending me that one, kind person:-).

Is a real™ one better than a Lemmy-computed(TM) one? Either way, it's good to have choices you know!? 😃

A large part of the confusion is that dinosaurs did not emerge from birds in the same way that humans did not evolve from Chimpanzees (nor monkeys) - but rather, both groups in those pairs evolved from a common ancestor (but different ones:-).

Birds have feathers and for the most part fly, while alligators not so much. In attempting to simplify, e.g. Avians to "birds", it causes confusion. Alligators also are not warm-blooded as birds are, not do they have beaks, all hallmarks of modern birds, but they do have four legs, long body with a tail, moveable eyelids - and don't they have external ear openings as well? - all hallmarks of modern lizards.

Scientists use precision language like "non-Avian theropod", but those don't map perfectly to common words like "birds", which everyone knows are just government drones anyway:-P.

One is The Reverse Gish Gallop and another is The Card Says Moops, though the latter is a significantly longer journey.

If you haven't watched (or its been a minute since), I would start from the first one in the series bc it builds so nicely and foundationally:-).

Not off topic at all - when he showed up, the topic became all about him, in true business cat style - he will not allow it any other way!!! 😹
