Interesting fact of the day: The color of a turkeys head changes drastically from a ocean blue to a bright red depending on the turkeys mood.

Reading a 2013 paper about modelling the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) for Klebsiella infection studies and I'm just wondering how the seed of such an idea is sown in one's mind. I'm sure it requires a lot of reading and interpreting and discussing it with several people, but the process itself, say, of drawing inferences from all such things and finally reaching a desired set of objectives to be pursued, is just so fascinating.

Of course, it involves long mundane periods where you feel like nothing is ever going to work out and that might take a toll on anyone. But to finally see something work, even if for a bit, and then some more, and try to fit it all together. Ugh. So good.

So one of my great paternal grandparents was the founder of a town out in massachusetts. Being the male line and all I still carry his last name and coat of arms.

I really should visit the town, maybe they will have a parade for me (joking of course).

just moved from the #2 spot on joinmastodon.org to the #1 spot. I believe this is calculated based on how fast an instance is growing. Seems we are not just one of the largest mastodon instances but we are also now the fastest growing one.

That's so cool!

Good morning everyone... feeling productive today. Think I might try to tackle getting Aparapi's CLang build working!

You ever cough so much in a single coughing fit that it turns into a sneeze mid cough?

Happened to me once or twice in my life, one time just now, and it is soooo weird.

A friend just had a brilliant idea, though a bit odd, for the meat issue... Lizard tails. They pop off with no health risks to the animal, and they grow back. infinite meat source, no killing.
