Would have been some other date, some other terrorists, some other victims.

US literally funded the terrorists and is surprised when they turn on them the moment the funding stops.

Where’s MOM from Futurama?

The first photo of a black hole is the most historically significant “first photo of x” that happened in my life time and that I actually understood its historical significance when it came out. So I’d say that’s probably my favourite.

Stockholm syndrome.

When that nun destroyed Archimedes’ math book that had a bunch of pre-calculus stuff in it that wouldn’t be discovered again for centuries.

Imagine if that book had led to the development of calculus, one of the most important tools in science for modeling the universe, much earlier than Newton and Leibniz.

Don’t be silly, the US doesn’t do economic coersion, the EU just completely coincidentally always economically align with them.

Canada lives in spite of the US.

Their legacy lasted all these billions of years only to be destroyed by nosy humans. I get the scientific benefit of discovering things like this and support the research efforts in general, but the very act of studying something ancient like this irrecoverably alters it, and that still makes an irrational part of me really sad.

I remember watching a video where a US politician was asked “who pays tariffs,” and after an initial unsuccessful attempt at weaseling out of the question, said something along the lines of “well if the foreign companies cared about their customers, they would pay it by lowering prices to factor in tariffs.”

So good to know capitalists don’t even know the first thing about capitalism.

US doing what they accuse China of doing #69420

But do enlighten me on how this is totally different and how no matter what the US does China is still worse by definition, libs.

“We originally had both as black people but the conservatives lynched the other one.”

Libs also be like: “Anyone criticizing Israel is antisimetic” 🤝 “Anyone criticizing Ukraine is a Russian bot”

Progressive, sustainable renewable energy tainted by barbaric, ecosystem destroying animal slavery “agriculture.”

Future generations will have to read this shit in history class.

Surely the US won’t freak about this like massive hypocrites, right?

Malware analysis and deobfuscation videos. Sometimes I just like to look at code but have someone else do all the thinking for me. Malware is also often obfuscated using a lot of esoteric features of different scripting languages, things you either know exist but likely have never had a reason to use in legitimate software development, or you’ll learn about an interesting feature that you can use in your own code. The way seemingly complete nonsense slowly comes together into a readable script is really satisfying. It’s also something I would never personally do because I don’t want to accidentally infect myself or someone else with it, so it’s cool to watch an actual cybersecurity expert do it.

Shoutout to John Hammond on YouTube.

The attitude change around free speech is the most damning. Really shows how they never cared about it to begin with.

If science journalists can stop dumbing down the titles to the point of being misleading that’d be great.

A study found that the sea anemone, a member of the Cnidarian phylum, uses bilaterian-like techniques to form its body.

This suggests that these techniques likely evolved before these two phyla separated evolutionarily some 600 to 700 million years ago, though it can’t be ruled out that these techniques evolved independently.

Ok, so say that in the title. A blueprint implies instructions for making a human, which is not what they found.

So it’s surprising that this species in the phylum Cnidarians (along with jellyfish, corals, and other sea creatures) contains an ancient blueprint for bilaterians, of which Homo sapiens are a card-carrying member.

[sea anemones] use a technique commonly associated with bilaterians, known as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) shuttling, to build their bodies.

Again, this is not a “blueprint” for a human body. Just say they use the same mechanism as us to accomplish a similar task, it’s surprising enough on its own without needing to reach for a comparison to a human construct.

A better title would be “sea anemones have been found to use the same molecular mechanisms for growth as bilaterians like mammals”

Locally run models use a fraction of the energy. Less than playing a game with heavy graphics.
