OK, Plus 5 freaking months.
Anticipation. Anticipation is making me late, is keeping me waiting.

Tonight, I'll fix pasta with Pesto and bake a baguette to eat with butter and a 4-leaf balsamic vinegar.

If you leave out the pasta, garlic and salt and add in crushed chipotle you will have something...

I think we have seen one or two of these people here. I know we've seen their effects on some of our more vocal crazies and if you go to social media, my god it's over run.
Well, hold onto your pant legs cuz the bullshit, distortions and sinister evil lies are all about to get higher and deeper. The Russians have great cyber warfare capabilities (like this is something we didn't already know) and the rise of tensions in Ukraine makes it plausible that the Russians will invade, the west will muddle some kind of confrontation short of real confrontation and a major part of that level of confrontation will be cyber. But not so much on destroying or disrupting infrastructure as much as disrupting western societies in social media where the west is uniquely vulnerable.

QAnon Sex Trafficking Conspiracies Have Shut Down a Texas Butterfly Center
On Thursday, QAnon conspiracy theories about the National Butterfly Center became real-world threats.

Yup.
And McAllen just elected its first Republican Mayor in an area that has been traditionally liberal democratic. The entrance to the butterfly center is just a few miles from my house. We've been seeing more and more MGA car trains disrupting elections and local events over the last four years down here. But while a common characteristic of south Texas, particularly the Rio Grande Valley, is public sex near year-round it has always been only of the plant cults. Pollen allergy is a true pitch and I see no reason they can't just get a motel room.My Website: My Website

Monumental Project Underway To Sequence the Genome of Every Complex Species on Earth
quote: quote: quote: I have been part of a research team for a few years now who are working on sequencing the genomes of dragonflies. Early on we were looking at specific regions of the genome of several small families to work out their evolutionary relationships but as the sequencing technology and computer processing power has improved so rapidly we started working on whole genomes and looking at all the known species of dragonflies and damselflies.. These are exciting times to be involved in biological evolution research.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Important work mate ! This is why scientists are in my experience almost always good, decent human beings. They want to make the world a better place for people - the majority of them, anyway. You are clearly in that majority, so on behalf of humanity, thank you :-)

Not a problem :-)
I've always found photos of dragonflies so beautiful - iridescent colours and amazing forms. (The big ones do scare the crap out of me on the odd occasion they've flown into a holiday home where I've been staying, though).Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

One of the great epicurean pleasures in life is the consumption of wine. All kinds of wine. Nectar. With a kick.
One of the best treatments for what ails you is a daily glass of cabernet. Science confirms the benefits of moderate imbibing for your heart's sake. 'Cept no it may not. It may be quite the opposite. New massive study from UK indicates that the original studies were in error. Based on bad statistical methods. The study calls it bad science.
quote: Data From Over 350,000 People Have Really Bad News About 'Moderate' Drinking : ScienceAlert Science has taken away my pizza, beer, steak, spaghetti, burgers w/onion rings and my Häagen-Dazs along with every other wonderfully fat, carb and sugar filled delight on the freaking planet. Now it wants to take away my wine. I hate science. Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

One of the great epicurean pleasures in life is the consumption of wine. All kinds of wine. Nectar. With a kick. These days I mostly like a few sips of a nice tawny port a couple times a month. In high school I built a small glass still and kept a lot of the guys in my junior and senior classes supplied with high proof apricot brandy. They supplied a 250ml bottle of Vick's Formula 44 cough syrup which I dumped and refilled with my brandy for $5. I still like a nice brandy or cordial a couple times a year. When I get together with my 4 dragonfly hunting pals on our annual field trip, we usually have one night of serious drinking and sampling interesting alcoholic drinks, last year was peanutbutter whiskey...interesting indeed.
Science has taken away my pizza, beer, steak, spaghetti, burgers w/onion rings and my Häagen-Dazs along with every other wonderfully fat, carb and sugar filled delight on the freaking planet. Now it wants to take away my wine. I hate science. Ice cream has been the hardest for me to resist. Moderation is the key for all those pleasures. It turns out that cannabis helps relieve one of the worst effects of my COPD, thickening mucus in my lungs that is hard to cough up. THC loosens it up enough for me to cough it up. It's turned out to be the most effective treatment and has the added benefit of pleasant euphoria and other sensations and also aids in focus and concentration on my work. I know there are negative effects of cannabis as well, but I have personally rationalized that the benefits outweigh the harm, at this point in my life.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.
