Stardew Valley is always a good game for avoiding the cold and dark , imo

They’re not legal where I live. Something about our sewage lines or treatment center not being able to handle it if I recall correctly. I have a clog resistant drain strainer that I clean out every time I rinse dishes in the sink instead.

Texas bbq is pretty damn good. Not sure if you keep halal but many places will have beef bbq in addition to the more common pork

I think you mean against him, but regardless I think that asylum claim would be an uphill battle in many countries

Interesting question, I found this

You can’t make a baby with two moms by simply fusing two eggs or adding one egg’s DNA to another’s.  Even though the resulting embryo would have the usual 46 chromosomes, this wouldn’t work.

The reason isn’t some special string of A’s, G’s, T’s or C’s found in dad’s DNA.  No, instead it has to do with chemical marks found on egg and sperm DNA.  This methylation (as the marks are called) makes the DNA from each parent unique, and you need both to make a baby.

What these marks do is affect how at least 80 different genes are used.  In science speak, these genes are imprinted.

As you may remember, we have two copies of each of our genes, one from each biological parent.  The chemical marks shut off either the copy from the egg or sperm, depending on which has the marks present…

If an embryo’s DNA came from two parents of the same sex, then both copies of some of these imprinted genes will be shut off.  And for the rest of these genes, both copies will be turned on.  Embryos simply can’t survive when so many genes are out of whack. In fact, diseases like Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome can happen when just one of these genes isn’t passed on properly.

I never thought about that, but it makes sense

Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me

Apple One is expensive but my whole family uses it and the only offered service I don’t really use much is Apple News.

Do you make it to the Peak District often? Oh, what Am I saying. Of course you don’t

Couldn’t help myself, great photo op!

I think you forgot to add your pic, OP.

This perspective is hurting my brain

Definitely try to use examples to help them get a glimpse into the issue. I like to explain documentation errors by pointing out when what are supposed to be sequentially recorded timestamps are recorded out of order in my work’s database. Sometimes the data quality isn’t there.

Beautiful! Where is this?

Balatro has no micro transactions but will consume your life regardless

I’ve seen those public bike repair racks with attached tools. I feel like that’s the closest thing to that we have

Especially when you factor in which instances are defederated from others

I love that flavor of ice cream. I’m pissed though, my local Wawa doesn’t carry it anymore

The cutest

The carbonara pie with the egg cracked on the middle is too damn good.
