@freemo Good question. It would not take much, considering we share something like 97% of our genome in common with chimps.
It would be interesting to know not only how far divergent dogs are from wolves, but how much the different breeds differ from each other.
Great Danes vs. Poodles. May not differ as much as you think.
@freemo Consider all of our "domesticated" animals -- cows, for example, whose udders are udderly ridiculous in size, producing way too much milk for its own young.
Chickens too, not able to fly, but bearing a lot of meat -- for us humans to eat.
Similar deal with bananas, etc.
"Domestication" is just another word for Mendelian genetic engineering. :D
@igeljaeger
Is that the distance from here to your favorite star system?
😜
@freemo There has to be some studies of the genomes of dogs and wolves and how they differ.
Similar can be said for cats.
There are so many breeds of dogs it makes my head spin. Genetic engineering by us spanning thousands of years.
@igeljaeger Yep. I have the RPi4 drivning my 4K monitor. Works like a boss.
@Eidolon0 Of course not!!!! 😆
@igeljaeger Oh...! Ok, then! :D
@Eidolon0 @igeljaeger @tuxcrafting You saw it on the Internet. It's gotta be true. :)
@igeljaeger you're much cuter than she is! 😀
@igeljaeger thanks for the Lutris tip. Seems to be working so far. Downloading my favorite Battle.net games, including Diablo III. Can't wait to see them work. I'll never have to go back to Windows again!!!!
@igeljaeger Right. I realized that after I posted. Kinda sucks.
@igeljaeger In that case, ICE it! 😀
@igeljaeger It is usually cheaper to fly the distance than to take the train... but then there is the hassle factor at the airport.
Even a few of the airports in Germany are starting to get some of those naked body scanners... like the one at Stuttgart. :(
@absolutus Thanks!!!!
