Which is why Nepenthes is an objective moral good.

Hey, let’s give some credit! We’ll also be handing Earth back to the Earth’s first owners: the cyanobacteria!

Hence why I tell my employers that I’m good with h That option (see the last bit of the comment to which you replied) the problem is that this method of 2FA is not implemented commonly, and so most systems I’ve encountered bug out when trying to set it up.

And don’t forget required 2-factor authentication, in an age where that becomes 1-factor authentication as soon as someone has your phone, because both factors are accessible there!

2FA is utterly worthless in the age of smartphones, and whenever my employer tries to implement it, I refuse and tell them that, if they want me to do 2FA, they can either provide me with a work phone, or they can give me a USB key that is just going to sit in my desk drawer.

I think I’d take bizarro world where chirality is wrong over the timeline I’m in, where the president of the united states is a rotting fascist mango and the world has at most 100 years before human civilaization can no longer exist.

Some of those who teach do so because they actually enjoy it, find meaning in it. Wretched though we may be, some of us believe that knowledge has inherent value without application. A pity you’re so closed-minded that you reject the very idea of it. I have met more compassionate and caring people in the teaching profession (before I ever chose that as a field) than in any other part of life. It’s pitifully ironic to come into a community of science and disparage education. How sad.

If you’re really looking to spit in the eyes of Death:

Mince some destroying angel and deadly webcap and cook into a nice mushroom ranch, sliver some bitter almonds and untreated cashew nuts over a nice hemlock cress with some of the shaved hemlock roots mixed in. Mix in thinly sliced manchineel apple and add belladonna berries on the top for additional sweetness. From what I understand, all of those actually taste pretty decent, so without the deadly poisons this’d be a bomb salad.

My hypothesis would be that, in order to keep that membrane taut, the internal salinity would have to be fairly close to the exterior salinity, otherwise it would shrink due to hypertonicity. That cytoplasm will probably just taste like slimy seawater

I’m, unfortunately, likely in the same boat, as far as expertise is concerned. I have a degree in geochemistry, and I agree with your analysis of the assumptions made to produce this model, but all of the projections I’ve seen until this one suggested the closing of the pacific basin.

Consider that much of the pacific mid-ocean ridge (the only thing preventing the closure of the pacific basin) is already being actively subducted under the eastern pacific boundary. Think about that: the spreading boundary itself is being subducted. This makes one wonder how it would be conceivable that the pacific basin widens in the future, despite the vast majority of the world’s active subduction boundaries being along the pacific rim.

As it is written in the ancient texts.

These images were created by NASA, though you can make your own by taking two pictures about 4-5 inches apart. Try going to the Parallel View community to see more.

Also, if you know what JMOL is (a molecule viewer), you can make it show you things in stereo by right-clicking, then clicking, iirc, “scheme”–>“stereographic” or “3D”–>“wall-eyed”

Yeah, try the wall-eyed version I posted as a top-level comment

Radioactivity will do that.

Just like how lithium should be red. Just because it’s less likely to explode your face open doesn’t mean that it’s just “not a good idea”. It immediately creates pure Lithium Hydroxide, which will immediately start saponifying your mouth, and that’s assuming it doesn’t immediately light on fire, like the last time I did that experiment.

I also personally prefer wall-eyed viewing, but these just happened to be cross-eyed originally, so I was surprised by the complaints.

Actually, I made a version for wall-eyed viewing in one of the other top-level comments.

Very strange, because I can move from this image of PCl5 directly to the honolulu image in the OP and it works just fine. Meanwhile, if I move from there to the “are you not entertained” image, it makes the images go into the page, since they’re wall-eyed images.

I’m glad it helped!

Yes, I made the second set. I have been looking at the originals since I found them months ago. Here, let’s do a test. jmol generated this image as “cross-eyed”. Do you agree?
