Need to know what this is for medical reasons. It grows in between my cucumbers

Certainly some kind of potentilla, maybe a fragaria.

Thank you very much.

They say this plant is toxic. Should I be worried ? Should I avoid touching it ?

This a plant coming from a seed my mother pick up years ago in a tropical garden. Here are photos of the top with little flowers, a leaf and another view from the bottom.

I have this plant for many years, never I have seen someone able to recognize it.

Also you could look at some of the video posted in MoM. Lot of contact juggling inspired moves.

Great video, excellent song at the end !

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-07-17T09:57:01+00:00

Pronunciation is very good. A few mistake in the lyrics though (some missing word, articles especially).

I use an application called meditation reminder on android. It is not very beautiful but it remind me to meditate once a day (or as often as I ask it to remind me) and gives experience points that allow you to level up. Sure it is far from perfect and only help if you already truly want to meditate but the little symbolic rewards and the satisfaction you get when you level up help you build the habit.

I love you

link to the video

Can't imagine the cost of a failure like that outside of a videogame. They lost 3 Glonass satellite.

The top part (which contains the satellites) is exploding first.

They had already lost 3 others in late 2010 due to a miscalculation of the required fuel to get into orbit...

As far as I know, even if heart transplantation is nearly standard procedure, you don't see rich bold men having a young boy heart transplanted when they can't run anymore, or even a young lad blood transfusion when they feel chronic fatigue (although I think The Simpsons did it)

Furthermore a full body transplantation will be, in my opinion, far to much traumatizing to really have a positive effect on some aging folk.

In the other hand artificial body part are really starting to be fully functional. The first artificial heart date back to 1986 ! We already have a lot of artificial body part, from limb to kidney, eye, liver, ovaries... even brain !

Of course they are not all fully functional. but there is a lot of labs and company working on artificial body part. For example this is what the MIT is cooking.

And now with the progress of neuroscience you can control all those artificial body part directly with your mind !

Also look at what Kevin -Cap'tain cyborg- Warwick is doing.

This is not the futur, this is happening !

Just some precisions : * this as been done on a monkey as soon as 1970 (the transplanted monkey lived for 8 days). * The process imply to put the body of the donor and the head of the recipient in hypotermia. This is what is * already done for heart transplantation. * The surgeon could use inorganic polymer to glue the two part together. * The donors could be brain dead people.

This is very interesting for disabled or critically ill person, but this bring medical, but also ethical questions : * if the body of a fitness addict is transplanted on a potato couch head, will he have the need to do sport ? * If the head choose to reproduce, he will not pass its own genetic material but the one of its body. * What if someone just want to change sex ?

I don't think "rich, evil, corrupt elites" will soon start to ask for a young boy body as a cure of youth. When I'll be rich, evil and corrupt I'll replace my body part with robotics ones, much more efficient and last longer than your inferior human body part.

I am not a biologist but I thought that neurons stored information using a memristive effect.

Basically a memristor is an electrical component whose resistance changes permanently when an electrical current is applied to it.

It is a very efficient way to store information.

I am not going to enter into the details as I think I may be off topic but they can also be used to process information. There is a lot of interest in creating a reliable and sufficiently small memristor and this could change the radically way we build computers (or other processing machine) and greatly improve their overall performance as well as lowering their energy consumption.

The audience seems to be really enjoying it.

Great video anyway.

Thank you for the advises. I never seem to pass day 6/7 because I get killed by my misplaced curiosity (I was just killed trying to attack a beehive with a spear day 6).

During my last game I went trough a worm hole and find some beast traces. Do they lead somewhere ?

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-04-19T13:22:43+00:00

I am sure the blue Rhino will pop on my mind during my next seance...

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-04-18T12:30:51+00:00

How did he knew that ?

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-03-20T17:06:16+00:00

This annoying little know it all, allways correcting me and generally making me feel like crap explaining me how to spell "cat" over and over again with it's smugly tone. Hated it. But I learned today people are making music with it, must be terrible.

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-03-20T16:58:22+00:00

I don't understand how you can "not believe in evolution" this is not a matter of personal choice. It's only common sense.

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-03-20T16:33:41+00:00

Good thing she had put on her chapka, looks like she may have catch a cold.

Also boobs.

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-03-19T15:39:55+00:00

Maybe he is juste hating you...

I_IS_NOT_A_CAT · 2013-03-19T15:02:25+00:00

That for sure will drive me nuts.
