my pirated cyanobacteria page: http://binsrc.qoto.io/cyanobacteria.html which is a version of https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/cyanointro.html which will probably go away at some point.

woah, the award for best website from 1995 goes to https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/cyanointro.html

Superhydrophobic metal won't sink -- even when damaged

I'm starting to think that the appeal of sandbox games such as Minecraft under late capitalism lies in the players' encounter with a world where not everything is owned and defined already.
Especially for the majority of people that lives in urban surroundings these days, it may well be the first time they find themselves able to interact with their environment and shape something new.
It's closely related to the art of graffiti, redefining and in doing so appropriating the liminal and / or inaccessible spaces that abound in the urban landscape, such as bridges, tunnels, railroads and streets.

If you think a single person is just too small to make a difference, you should read up on Jadav Payeng, the "Forest Man of India".
When he was 16 he started planting trees on a deforested sandbar. He made it a habit of planting at least one tree every single day - over the course of the last four decades.
His forest now encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares and is home to not only over one hundred elephants, but also monkeys, tigers and deer.
Be the change you desire!

ahh...., guys you are meant to tell your lab partner so they can lead you to the eyewash.
As a kid I broke off the tip of a compass into my thumb and I just hid it, and held it tight till the bleeding stopped. The teacher asked if there was anything wrong and never mentioned it. Don't expect me to lead you to the eyewash is all I'm saying.
Burnet's Clonal Selection Theory / immune system : production of antibody to fight infection. Very beautiful animation.

Wonderful Sci-Fi story, read on web
"Solar Sailing
Light is made of packets of energy called photons. While photons have no mass, they have momentum. Solar sails capture this momentum with sheets of large, reflective material such as Mylar. As photons bounce off the sail, most of their momentum is transferred, speeding up the sail in the direction opposite the bouncing light.
Unlike chemical rockets that provide short, powerful bursts of thrust, solar sails provide continuous, slight thrust and can reach higher speeds over time. Sunlight is free and unlimited, whereas rocket propellant must be carried into orbit and be stored onboard a spacecraft."
The Planetary Society's LightSail project.

friends don't ask friends to install proprietary software
But would it be wrong to eat flat earthers and antivaxers?
@freemo thank you for all the stuff, it's very kind of you! Mastodon, Forum, Audio, Video, Gitlab and Gitlab Pages. 
Oh and NextCloud too. Do any of these services have an onion?
What is the correct action after getting a chemical stain in your eye?

I sometimes think I'm overly worried about exposing services on my home network to the internet. I've had #syncthing configured to be LAN-only since I installed it, and the only service I run on the open internet is the VPN so I can get access to my system remotely.
Have I been fooled by the internet equivalent of health class scare tactics where any sort of sexual activity = instant STDs and pregnancy?
Life on earth will go on without us, but we are the custodians and guardians of something very special and unique in terms of conscious intelligence. I believe it is therefore our duty to protect that unique feature of life and carry it forward into the unknown. As a species we need to leave earth, we need to take life and our consciousness of it beyond our solar system in order to protect it from the time relative constraints that would eventually undermine it here on earth.
My idea is that you should always focus on solving the current problems that block humanity from progressing in the ultimate goal of protecting and nurturing life and carrying it beyond earth and throughout the universe.
You can't solve colonialism, climate change, capitalism, pseudo-democracy, it's too late for that, but you can work towards building knowledge that will enable the next generation of children to further develop and explore and successfully leave earth.
My main focus will be biological/molecular computing, harnessing bioenergy and assistive biotech for space travel.
This week, astronomers on the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, had their viewing disrupted by 19 Starlink satellites, part of a batch launched earlier this month. Clarae Martínez-Vázquez, an astronomer, tweeted: “Rather depressing … This is not cool.”
Achondroplasia
An autosomal dominant pattern which causes a form of short limbed dwarfism, literal meaning "without cartilage formation".
People with achondroplasia have inherited an altered FGFR3 gene from at least one of their parents. 50% of their children will carry the allele responsible for the disease.
