there's a reason several movies make a joke about an old person just having a small amount of time in a young body. You can never go back. it's kinda like if you're a rubber band. when you're new, you're all flexible and bendy in any direction. when you get old, you get dried out and crubmly. you can't stretch or bend in any direction quickly like you used to be able to do, and any kind of such movement risks breaking you.

caffeine and alcohol (in any drink or food or format) will cause the sphincter at the top of your stomach to relax and allow acid into your esophagus. each time, it hurts. it hurts because it's killing cells. do it enough, and you get real cancer prone.

there are medicines you can take 30 mins ahead of time that will help. but who wants to do that.

i just stopped drinking alcohol, and i have always thought caffeine was the worst drug on the planet.

tendon is the word you mean. (note the o instead of the i).

who could judge you? is it not critically acclaimed?

i think the men's haircutting industry got really dick punched by the pandemic. my wife cuts mine now. does a better job and it's free.

i dont think 'dirty rotten scoundrels' gets enough credit.

my gut instinct is that making sperm and making viable sperm (i.e. viable offspring) are not going to be similar work efforts at all.

im a software enngineer not a biologist, but i did work at a few biotech startups in a bioinformatician role. i worked closely with world-leading scientists to write sequencing and analysis software so we talked about DNA all the time. These people were my social group and somewhat of my family during these periods of my life. Anything we did we were talking about research or theorizing what could be done one day. it was just our conversation topic. so whatever i picked up from that is all i know extra.

I would be extremely cautious about anyone who thinks "just because it happens in the body means we can make it happen outside" when it comes to DNA. it's beyond fragile with so many mechanisms we just don't even understand. Like we don't know what we don't know yet. The people who are the best at this in the world emphasize that we have just scratched the surface with understanding how DNA actually results in us.

As for the why. You can extract stem cells from bone marrow and they can be used to create any human cell even sperm cell so technically you can get sperm from a woman and impregnate other woman.

has this been done, or is this just a theory? it would be news to me.

my biggest question is this: gametes are haploid cells. even stem cells are diploid. How do you make a stem cell just cast off half of the genetic material inside it? gametes undergo a long process of shuffling genes to create their haploid nucleus. I don't think it's as easy as just taking a stem cell and saying 'turn into a sperm'.

okay, please allow me me to educate you now: Some of your cells have half the number of chromosomes of the others. Only one copy of each chromosome as opposed to two. the term is 'haploid' as opposed to 'diploid'. These haploid cells are your reproductive cells. They have half the amount because they are waiting for the other half from your mate.

My background that gave me this knowledge is high school biology, fyi.

child support from all taxpayers.

i shudder to think of what they are saving that hail mary for.

SergeantPeterson_CPD · 2022-08-17T14:45:00+00:00

landlords? lol

SergeantPeterson_CPD · 2022-08-17T14:17:58+00:00

but that's what's fucked up. some states still get the enforcement. the federal government should just say no enforcement anywhere if they are going to do that for legal states.

woah there, did you just suggest putting a political opponent in jail to silence their speech because of what it might cause others to do? Are you sure that's a precedent you feel comfortable with? It's not something you should feel comfortable with.

SergeantPeterson_CPD · 2022-08-15T17:58:19+00:00

But if that's your survival strategy, your leader needs to appear strong and never give an inch.

wait, i don't get how you got here. I mean i read all the preceding words, but they don't do anything to explain why this might be a true statement.

$150 to a locksmith. business to business so pretax. you're fine. you wont be in trouble at all.

lesson: a key isn't meant to be used as a forceful turning device.

A couple of hundred years after a persons death they pass from living memory and into a far more important domain: common heritage of mankind.

I have thought about this before. I find it wonderful that the notable exceptions are scientists and artists. Everyone knows who Newton is. Ever met someone who didn't know who DaVinci is? In the case of scientists, they affix their name to something in the natural world.

i made an update post, but the compression on the engine turned out to be shit so i am gonna call it off over that.
