You had it, then you lost it. It's for those things you need only once a year or two years or never again.

He said the exact opposite.

Synthetic embryos are clones, too—of the starting cells you grow them from. But they’re made without the need for eggs and can be created in far larger numbers—in theory, by the tens of thousands. And that’s what could revolutionize cattle breeding. Imagine that each year’s calves were all copies of the most muscled steer in the world, perfectly designed to turn grass into steak.

“I would love to see this become cloning 2.0,” says Carlos Pinzón-Arteaga, the veterinarian who spearheaded the laboratory work in Texas.

The article said it was not just for cattle, more for general science research.

Fucking brilliant.

Oh we've canadianized this too. We have yy-mm-dd. The two digit year makes it really fun. Pretty sure I've seen yy/mm/dd too. And we have yy-mm-dd where the mm is a two letter abbreviation with MA and I have to look it up each time if it's March or May. We also have yy-mmm-dd with the more common letter abbreviations. Those are all government abominations of ISO.

I'm curious, do you have to go to the office any days?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Not the point I was making.

Are you serious? It's spelt out. The other one you can confuse day and month.

How the fuck is it cheaper to software lock than to assemble a smaller battery? Like aren't the batteries expensive? You just put in fewer cells for a smaller battery.

Avoid confusion in dates by saying May 6, 2024. This is the Canadian way because we had dd/mm/yy, but American influence of mm/dd/yy led to mass confusion. Everyone switched to May 6 to avoid it all.
