I call it “stand and deliver”

What you call them iis arbitrary. Genetics is a disgustingly unstandardized field when it comes to naming things.

Hydrologicly they are one, two lobed lake. But for cultural and commercial reasons they function more as two separate lakes. Similar to how the Adriatic and Aegean Sea are the same body of water as the Mediterranean.

Once they get going they reproduce like crazy. And there wouldn’t have been any competition for that first life form, so is growth would only be hindered by how many nutrients were available. Churning oceans and storms would have spread that first life form would only needaybe a couple centuries millenia to spread across the Earth, while that leap from self replicateling macromolecules to actual life form would have simultaneously been way harder tham you think.

Biogenesis is crazy hard. Once that first lifeform appears it absorbs pretty much all available resources and takes over from there. All those conplex molecules just floating around get incorporated into the life form that appears first. Those primordial seas were constantly churning things about so life would have quickly spread across the ocean once it formed.

All known lofe on Earth uses the same base “toolset” to keep it simple while genetic analysis shows all known life is at least distantly related. While it isn’t impossible that life developed multiple times on Earth, any other lineages were unable to compete and died off quickly.

It should also be noted how dramatically easier it is for existing life forms to hog all the available resources than it is for said resources to go through biogenesis. This is why scientists are unable to create life forms in labs, because no matter how sterile we try to make the conditions, some microbe finds a way in and thrives on the resoirce dense media that scientists are trying to recreate life with.

The meme wasn’t about imaginary numbers, but irrational numbers like pi or the swuare root of 3. Mathematicaly, those numbers have mever ending decimals that never repeat. But quantum mechanics doesn’t allow for any measurements smaller/more precise than the planck scale. The quantum nature of the universe means that no object in the universe can have an irrational length.

An easy way to picture this is a right triangle. I can make said triangle with two sides that are exactly 1 meter long, all the way down to the planck length. The hypotenuse is theoretically exactly the square root of 2 meteres long, but that is impossible because part of that triangle would have to exist beyond the quantum realm.

They dont even nneed a sticker. At the self checkout at my store you just hit the “item lookup” and press “avocados” and thoe how many you have

You dont even need the sticker. They are avocados and are distinct and easy for a cashier or moron at self checkout to figure out how to ring up.

But what’s the point if etching them in the first place? They etch cabbage or ears of corn. It just seems overkill for no reason

It is finicky. That’s why only a handful of countries have actually managed to create their own thermonuclear warheads. It’s more about being able to build the needed infrastructure and acquire the source material than understanding the physics.

It keeps happening across all fields. I think we are about to witness a complete overhaul of the publishing model.

The subprime mortgage crisis affected everyone’s life despite it being unnecessary for anyone to understand what was going on. There are dozens if items, devices, and processes you do every day without any rral understanding of how they work. You use your bame every day but i bet you couldn’t tell the etymology of your first and last names.

Knowledge is never a bad thing, but it isn’t necessary to understand everything tou use every day.

How northern are we talking? Our tomatoes didn’t so well last year in Northern Ohio, but the summer before i was absolutely drowning in cherry tomatoes!

Local farm has a dirt cheap produce subscription. $40 a week for locally grown produce!

Suddenly it’s not so cool when another man steals your wife

You can actually tell hiw important an area was by the area code. If it was somewhere people called often, they would have low numbers, while bumfukc nowhere gets high numbers that take for ever to dial.

I had some 50 year old bartender try to be condescending with me saying i probably didn’t know how to use a dial phone. Showed her up by explaining my aunt used to have a Princess phone and had to explain that one to her

Or Edward Scissorhands. Or my one handed friend who goes by “Knub”

The fog on the Tyne os all mine all mine.
