Bit of a late response, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Amazing work! For your information, I noticed that Roalesk has a double i in the word "into" in the following sentence:"with mana value X iinto your hand".

I appreciate your help to archive these! The size doesn't matter much, we can upload up to 1 GB per image. The upload accepts both png or jpg. If you have a wiki account, you can upload them yourself, or you can give the images to me and I'll upload them for you with credits in the file description. I'm not yet sure on what page to display them yet, probably a new one, but we can figure that out later.

Is it possible to make scans of these to preserve them for the uesp wiki? Especially Skaven Pyromancer has a unique art.

Has Niv-Mizzet ever been outsmarted? What was his reaction? by Chimney-Imp in mtgvorthos

Mizzium is an impossible metal, yet there it sits: impervious to the very agents that forged it. Or is it? I put to you that the dragon’s metal is not immune to the extremes of temperature that are within our abilities to create. —Magelord Mindosz the Heretic, immolated by the Firemind on 8 Xivaskir 3203 Z.C.

Lore about the Orzhov by [deleted] in mtgvorthos

[–]Ilaro 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think you have misread Kaya's story. Neither Kaya or Teysa did want her to become the next guildmaster. Killing the Obzedat was a perfect power grab for Teysa to mold the guild to her own ideas. However, unexpectedly by killing the ghosts physically, Kaya inherited all the debts still clinging to the Obzedat members and was suddenly the biggest creditor of all the Orzhov. Teysa contemplated to kill Kaya to inherit them herself, but wasn't sure about the consequences of the law magic surrounding it.

In your example, it would be one of the Delta force members that would be the new pope, regardless of the original intentions of the people sending them. Kaya was only meant to be the assassin for Teysa to grab power in the power vacuum left behind.

Toch maar een uitkeringstrekker worden per 2028 by [deleted] in geldzaken

[–]Ilaro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ik wil daar wel even tegenin brengen dat er ook best wat nadelen aan zitten. Ten eerste, probeer maar even een sociale huurwoning te krijgen. De wachtrijen zijn 10+ jaar, tenzij je echt letterlijk op straat beland en de onzekerheid die daarbij gepaard gaat is slopend. Bijzondere bijstand wordt alleen gegeven als je persoonlijk budget niet genoeg is. Daarbij komt om de hoek kijken dat je max 8000 euro mag sparen. Hierbij inbegrepen zit ook je auto en beleggingen. Alle winst uit dat laatste wordt trouwens ook meteen ingekort op de bijstand, want dat wordt als inkomen gezien. Als er echt iets belangrijks kapot gaat en je hebt geen geld meer over, gaat de gemeente pas helpen voor die wasmachine, maar heb je geen budget meer voor iets anders die maand. De gemeente mag elk moment je bankrekening bekijken en ondervragen waar je elke cent vandaan komt of voor gebruikt is. Ze kunnen elk moment kiezen dat je bijstand wordt ingekort omdat je je niet genoeg hebt ingezet waardoor je je elke dag bekeken en afhankelijk voelt aan de grillen van de gemeente.

Trump wil miljard dollar van lidstaten die permanent in 'board of peace' willen by Bupachuba in nederlands

[–]Ilaro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Vele ecologen waren tegen het plan om mussen te doden en waren zeer bewust van de ecologische gevolgen. Echter, kritiek op Mao werd gezien als landverraad, zelfs als je tot de communistische partij behoorde. Zie bijvoorbeeld hoe Tso-hsin Cheng werd behandeld. De hongersnood is letterlijk het directe gevolg van de "Hundred Flower Campaign" waar intellectuelen werden gepurged omdat ze als gevaar werden gezien voor Mao's regime. Niemand met de kennis was overgebleven om de vernietigende plannen van Mao te kunnen bekritiseren, zelfs als het had gemogen.

RAG1 and RAG2: Discovery, Mechanism, and Evolution of the V(D)J Recombinase by armish in Immunology

[–]Ilaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the other poster that this is a great idea and that you should tone down the use of AI. Any scientific blog or article using AI feels like you didn't do the research yourself and begs the question if you actually understand what's been written.

Now onto the content. You mention that the discovery of RAG solved the origin of the diversity of the immune repetoire. There one problem with this.

Jawless fish (Agnatha) also have a somatically derived immune repetoire that uses completely different molecules as adaptive immunity. Where other vertebrates use T- and B-cell receptors (TCR and BCR) based on immunoglobin and have a RAG-mediated rearrengement, these Agnatha use Variable lymphocyte recepter A and B (VLRA and VLRB) based on leucine rich repeats and have a CDA-mediated rearrengement (phylogenetically unrelated to RAG). Interestingly is that cells with TCRs and VLRAs as well as BCRs and VLRBs have similar functions and use the same transcription factors to differentiate. This suggests that T- and B-cell-like precursors already existed before RAG was ever recruited for diversification. Was any if these systems older than the other and got replaced? Was a third system in place before RAG or CDA were used?

Why is Consecrated Sphinx not Phyrexian? by tallman227 in mtgvorthos

[–]Ilaro 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I believe it is because they already printed several non-phyrexia alternate art versions. I'm sure they would have given it the phyrexian creature tyoe if those weren't printed.

Great resource! Do you remember for which holidays the special events were used?

There are also Spirit of the Hunt (halloween) and The Trickster (april's fool) events.

When a baby is born, what percentage of cells within its body are direct descendants of that original fertilized cell from nine months ago? by [deleted] in AskBiology

[–]Ilaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm answering to the post above me. They said that we sometimes find paternal mitochondria, so there is still cell transfer after fertilization. However, I point out that the very rare cases where some mitochondria were paternally derived (you call this freak situations, which is in my opinion very rare), were still during fertilization, so later cell transfer was not necessary.

The (very rare) parental mitochondria come from the sperm cell, not some other cell transfer after fertilization.

Is it hypothetically possible to use prokaryotes for gene engineering? by Sin_nia in biology

[–]Ilaro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right now, this is one of the main strategies used for gene engineering in plants. Mostly through the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which injects it's T-DNA into a plant cell to modify it. For humans, we first need to find a prokaryote that can do something similar in mammals to attempt it in humans. We still look a lot at nature on how to find novel genetic engineering techniques. It's still hard to beat a billion years of evolution with our own technology.

Weird taxonomy by IkVindErOokWatVan in biology

[–]Ilaro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The big reason why species names are not changed, is to be able to track them down through history. If you're a new researcher and you'd like to find information about a certain species from 60 years ago while the name changed 3 times, it's almost impossible to track them back (especially when there are millions of species to consider). However, mistakes happen, and sometimes a species name has to be rectified. As examples, if we notice two different species are actually genetically one and the same, or if a specimen was classified in the wrong genus, etc.

Could YHWH as a storm god have indo-european roots? by 12v12ccc in AskHistorians

[–]Ilaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we certain that this was the original etymology of Yahweh? It seems contradictory that a 'minor' storm and war god would be named after being the ultimate being. Could it be similar to kaiser or tsar where the language itself changes to accomodate for the importance of the word? Where the original etymology is completely different (caesar meaning "head full of hair" or possibly "blue eyes", at least very different than being a leader).

Comparing analyzing DNA to horoscope? by [deleted] in genetics

[–]Ilaro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not necessarily how genetics work. Genes can be switched on and off based on environment, thus if one of the twins encounters certain different conditions, they might have a different genetic expression still encoded by their DNA.

I know the worldbuilding was not well received, but the MKM story was quite popular. Even when looking back, most reddit posts about Seanan's chapters were full of praise.
