Personal favorite is probably Lamarckian Inheritance. Feels like super buff people having wimpy ass babies would key people in that acquired traits weren’t being passed on.

But it’s also the textbook example of how science progresses even when the underlying model being used is incorrect. Darwin credited Lamarck for suggesting a potential mechanism for evolution. Works prior to Mendel were direct tests to Lamarckism. Mendel responded to those, and on and on it goes. Lamarck helped push the field along and that’s great.

Side note, people like to say epigenetics is a continuation of Lamarckism but I’d disagree completely. Heritability of traits is what is important here, and epigenetic marks don’t necessarily tag the genes that contribute to the traits themselves.

Love FTL- one of the most unique takes on rogue-lites I’ve ever seen.

Nothing was more frustrating than trying to win hard with Stealth C

Every time I see a picture of him I think it has to be edited or something. He’s like a walking Snapchat filter.

Copium should be a controlled substance

Very pertinent to my current field- lots of version control issues where I work that containerizing could solve more elegantly.

I’ll check out the videos and see if I can learn something!

This is extremely cute content, wow

Wait this is incredible.

I don’t even know how to hold a hammer correctly let alone solder a chip, but I might have to try a new hobby.

I’ve recently started to go through the videos from jauwn. Really funny dives into terrible NFT games and their communities.

Hmm… I’m a little unconvinced by that though because natural sources for gathering methane are so much more efficient than trying to capture it as a result of, say, fracking or farming.

I get it’s a useful fuel, but it’s also cheap and abundant. CO2 capture is easier than CH4 capture, per the article, so combusting difficult to capture methane at the source into easier to deal with CO2 seems like a no brainer.

But also I’m a biologist not a climate scientist so 🤷‍♂️

Oh I totally agree about reduction, just that capture and storage is a massive undertaking compared to venting and combustion.
