You fools. You think there's a limit to the shortness of jorts? The only limit is your VISION.

Those microbes are quite interesting too. They're called haloarchaea, and they catch solar energy using a protein called bacterorhodopsin. It's made from retinal, one of the molecules which your eyes use.

Thing is, bacteriorhodopsin works *completely* differently to chlorophyll, and haloarchaea don't capture carbon dioxide like plants do. It's an entirely different kind of photosynthesis!

Convergent evolution is really cool. I love how nature finds multiple ways to do things.

@freemo I'm afraid this is an artist's impression, pretty though it is.

This was Cassini's final view. I processed this version of the image myself.

I don't heavily mod it, I play with the following:

*UI Overhaul 1080p Plus
*Real Space (The full 4 Mods)
*Planetary Diversity (And companion mod for Real Space)
*!CGM Mod suite. (3 Mods)

I think that's all of them. All on Steam Workshop.

These have been a favourite thing of mine to paint for years! I find something about lines very aesthetically pleasing, and painting them is incredibly soothing. #art #artists #painting

I am a high school senior in the United States. Should I pursue a degree in Computer Science? If so, what are any misconceptions about it? Thanks in advance!

Dogpiling and harassment are off-limits no matter how justified you think you are. The rules are for everyone.

Strongly considering adding screenshot-dunking to the code of conduct as well. We don't need that culture here.

@wilw You should come to #QOTO we wouldn't ban you and everyone would love to have you here.

Hi!

I study photonic engineering. My current main interest is in physical phenomena, including Fourier optics, holography, light sources (e.g. lasers) and optical components (e.g. LCDs).

What do you think of a non-invasive brain interface?

Hi!

I'm currently enrolled in the Physics Bachelor. I'm very curious about new discoveries and new technologies, hence my presence here on Mastodon (and @QOTO)

I am also an avid reader and I would love to get some recommendations from you all.

Nice to be here.
TOOT!

@wilw Wil, I don't know if you will be reading this but I figure I might as well do it.
