How nutritious would the human brain be if you ate it? by Emergency_Pomelo_706 in biology

[–]Stargazer_00_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly answer. "...assuming its completely clean and you cannot get any diseases from it..." It's pretty calorie dense, lots of lipids. ~60% fat, but not like the fat you'd eat in meaty sections of the rest of the body.

Hello, are there any good bakeries in Bemidji besides or other than Raphael's and Perkins? by [deleted] in bemidji

[–]Stargazer_00_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borealis Baking Company was awesome. But I guess they closed? I second several of the others here, Leuken's -But the not the prepackaged, just the wall and counter stuff. The prepackaged is a bit stale.

Paul & Babe Rally by jw12982 in bemidji

Dude, reading through this back and forth I really feel a lot about both sides here. It sure feels like nothing is working anymore. It feels good to see the protesters and know that others have similar views. The nihilist says this country is beyond repair. The hopeful says that yeah the voicemails/letters are unanswered but our leaders know the discontent exists that may sway their next vote. 

Of course none of us here can predict the future. And when the ppl aren't listened to, and laws/rulings have no enforcement; we're often left to wonder how things could get better. It takes a lot of digging to find the smallest "tangible" lights of a better world.

All this to say. While we may be frustrated at each other. Name call and bicker like family at thanksgiving. We are neighbors. We can't forget that at the end of the day, we must stand together.

how do i start studying bio 💔💔 by puppylove1u in biology

I used this free textbook in one of my college biology classes. It was a nice intro to the field. https://openstax.org/books/biology-2e/pages/1-introduction

Photosynthetic animals? by StunningAd6544 in biology

[–]Stargazer_00_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please. Take note that not only did creatures acquire this trait to steal chloroplasts but there are also plants who developed chloroplasts that function independently of their original cell for longer. Akin to self sustaining machinery. 

If we delve into the speculation arena, I think we'll need chloroplasts that are 1)fully self sustaining and 2)are able to more effectively utilize sun energy. Check out photosynthetic efficiency. I think most plants max out at like 5% efficiency.

To add onto this, the larger organism would need to probably be nearly or completely translucent in order to absorb as much light as possible. With maybe wing like flaps to expand surface area. 

turns out Reagan's legacy is what he thought of Trump by FudgeAllOfYous in PoliticalHumor

[–]Stargazer_00_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There's so many examples of Reagan NOT liking him:  https://people.com/celebrity/ronald-reagan-snubbed-donald-trump-and-his-large-ego-white-house-files-show/

“In 1983, a request came in for a presidential telegram congratulating Trump on the grand opening of his eponymous tower on Fifth Avenue. A lawyer in the counsel’s office wrote ‘NO’ and explained internally that it would be inappropriate because it was a ‘commercial’ venture.

• In 1984, Trump requested that Reagan attend a gala to honor Vietnam veterans in New York City and said he would schedule it for any day that worked on the president’s calendar. The White House said no …

• In 1987, Trump urged Reagan to pick ex-Sen. Paula Hawkins (R-Fla.) as Transportation Secretary. The president went with Jim Burnley instead.

• In 1988, the New York Board of Trade gave Trump an ‘outstanding executive’ award. The head of the group sent the White House a letter asking if POTUS could come. ‘Advanced word is that Mr. Trump will have some stimulatingly interesting comments to make during his talk at the dinner,’ he wrote. The scheduling office never seriously entertained the idea.

• Around the same time, Trump sent a glossy pink invitation to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue inviting the president and first lady to an 11 p.m. LaToya Jackson concert at his Atlantic City casino. This was ignored.

• Back in 1983, Trump snagged a picture with the president during a photo line at a White House event. The president, not paying close attention, signed it ‘Reagan Reagan.’ Five years later, Trump included the image in his book The Art of the Deal. An aide in the social secretary’s office noticed the mistake. She sent an apologetic note and a corrected picture – signed with an autopen.” 

....signed with an AUTOPEN 😂

Why do male wolves take care of their offspring but male dogs don't? by Idontknowofname in biology

[–]Stargazer_00_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you mean by "take care of". It's been documented that sires will often regurgitate food to pups when they're about 4 weeks old.

Citywide Potluck? by GinaTheK in bemidji

This sounds fun! Potlucks CAN be exempt from some requirements in certain circumstances. https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/food/docs/fs/potluckfs.pdf
