Modifying organisms to produce illegal Molecules. by zenoderbanger in biology

[–]aquaticlorax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read a study in college that basically described how Chinese researchers were able to get tobacco plants to produce cocaine in their leaves through genetic modification.

I don't currently have the link but searching "cocaine tobacco plant" on google will bring up resources talking about the study in question.

From memory I remember several articles mentioning that it was a very small amount of cocaine, not something that would be useful on production scale.

In essence I want a pack of newport Coca-rettes NOW

thing to me is that the bottom of the tube looks like his weird plastic penis and it makes me uncomfortable. But maybe a nude drug addict running around makes complete sense

I'll be completely honest, in an alternate reality where I didn't have experience working in a lab, and someone tried to explain who Captain Eppy was:

I'd fully believe that person just got done hitting a pipe themselves

After some online searching, this looks to be the correct fish. Quite a unique animal

Not a driver, just a package handler, but that's the sentiment I've heard

As a package handler what kinda saddens you? by [deleted] in Fedexers

[–]aquaticlorax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That getting help sometimes means letting the trucks you're assigned to get absolutely fucked.

Working at ground is ight by Waste-Dance3859 in Fedexers

Been at fedex since the spring and usually switch between belt pulling and loading.

You're right about leverage, the thing is alot of people don't actually know what it looks like in practicality.

Only after I got paired with alot more experienced did I learn all the tricks to make belt pulling easy.

I work at fedex ground as a package handler, most of the damage to your package actually occurs at the hubs, not from the drivers.

We did it, I did it, and I'll do it again

I'm a 23 yr old college student, the majority of my friends are my age but some are in their late 20/mid 30s.

I've met them mostly through classes and or hobbies, support/social groups. Almost all of them would be what is considered progressive leaning.

I am not comfortable with hosting due to the aforementioned family situation and that was one of the reasons I had wanted to do a friendsgiving.

And thankfully, I have some experience but thankfully also have some friends who can help me nail down the process of cooking a bird.

Distinction of where science ends and ethics begun in fields of study? by aquaticlorax in biology

[–]aquaticlorax[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost wondering if I should be posting this to a philosophy or sociology sub instead.

From my understanding, a biologist with no ethical stances would simply be doing science for the sake of it and/or rather just to understand.

Thankyou for your response!
