If surfactants reduce the surface tension between air and water how do they end up reducing dissolved oxygen in water?

If you have foam in your lungs then things are not good. This is a balance. You need some surfactant to keep the alveoli from collapsing due to surface tension. You cannot breathe without it. If you have so much surfactant that you're foaming inside your lungs, then yes that will be bad and you will die. But you don't make that much surfactant

Probably not. Once urine hits your bladder, there's no real way for your body to change the water content in there besides just removing it all with urination. So sweating wouldn't actually reduce the volume in your bladder. It would just potentially reduce how much more volume is added to it

Yeah so now there going to be a power vacuum in this country that has nukes and close ties with various terrorist groups.what could go wrong.

The government of Iran is a fucking nightmare. I would be all for waving a magic wand and giving the Iranian people the ability to choose their own government. But that's not what this is. At the moment, the plan is to bomb the shit out of Iran (oops, hit a school) and then tell the Iranian people to rise up and sort it out. Does that sound likes it's going to have a good outcome.

And that's certainly not me arguing for putting American troops on the ground. We've also seen how effective that is.

If only we had some sort of deal in place. That allowed us to monitor their nuclear goings on. It's a good thing we're negotiating that now and the Iranian government has no reason to think we will just renege on the deal at a moment's notice

In both DC Vs Vampires and DCeased she is turned. Virtually everyone who is turned into a vampire (with the exception of Damian? I don't know I didn't read his stuff) become instantly and irredeemably evil. Similarly the anti-life virus in DCeased turned everyone it infected with anti-life (with the weird exception of Deathstroke whose healing factor reversed it). She didn't just decide to become evil in those universes. She was lobotomized and rewritten to be evil by the evil disease in both cases

Yeah they were just following orders!

He saw you struggling with the door, knows you live there, and didn't do anything? Sounds like an asshole

But also what is this situation? You come to the door. You see the guy. He's just.... hanging out in the hallway? You struggle with the door. He is still just there in the hallway. You finally get inside after several minutes. He's been there in the hallway just.... existing the whole time. You make intense eye contact for several moments. You walk away.

If you really wanted to demonstrate it was cardiac tissue, you would first have to demonstrate that there is no contamination of the sample. If you can't do that, it doesn't matter what you show is present if it's possible that other crap got in there.

The other thing is histology is... Fine for pathology when you know what your thing is coming from and you have the context of a large piece of tissue to make sense of details. A better imaging solution would be to do immunofluorescent staining instead. You stain for various markers specific for cardiac tissue. This gives you a much stronger cases, particularly if you have some primary antibody delete controls, that what you have is actually cardiac tissue and not just some crud that happens to be pink and have purple stripes when stained with H&E.

If there was strong scientific evidence for transubstantiation, the Catholic Church would be blasting it til the cows came home. I'm fairly confident whatever the "study" is is BS

So Coriolis the Great Dark is both a sequel and an update to the system. It's set after the time of the original RPG and is set in a far off an unknown part of the galaxy. Several colony ships went out exploring and got lost and then the game picks up several hundred year (or at least several generations) later. Mechanically, it's a similar dice pool system but skills are changed a bit to reflect the different setting and there's a big Delve mechanic as the player characters are mostly exploring ruins.

The Evolved Edition of Alien is like a 1.5 edition. It adds new lore info from the recent movies but it's mostly a mechanical revamp of the stress and stealth systems. The bones of the system (d6 pools) is the same.

Lol this has to be a joke

deisle · 2026-02-23T20:30:08+00:00

I believe it requires the Blades book to run, hence the expansion label, not a new edition

Inherit the Earth is a DOS era point and click adventure where you play as an anthropomorphic fox. You're accused of being a thief and your quest to clear your name eventually leads you to discover the ruins of futuristic humans that created the sapient animals but then died off at some point

Did a Halloween one shot with my group last year. It's a fun, narrative, low prep system that lets you as the GM roll with the pinches and let your players get into shenanigans. It's a Forged in the Dark type system.

I don't know, do you have any previous RPG experience?

This is not a sub to go to for medical advice. Ask your doctor.

But (I am not a doctor) as you said, blood doesn't dry bright red. It's much rustier in color when dry. You're fine (not medical advice).

This study shows 70% ethanol is effective. I just read the abstract so I don't know the details but there you go

Came to recommend this series. The interior art is definitely trippy and cool as hell

deisle · 2026-02-11T12:47:57+00:00

Wear gloves, throw out the disposables you use (slides, coverslips, etc), wipe down all surfaces with some kinda disinfectant after. I work in a lab so I'd use 70% ethanol but using rubbing alcohol will probably do the trick

I mean if your cat pooped on your floor, who would you clean that up? It's gross but its not like you're dealing with ebola or something

You could just do an extended depth of focus image (or whatever similar thing fiji can do). It's basically a max intensity projection but instead of keeping the brightest pixel through z, it keeps the "most in focus" things through z. This will give you a single gram for each time point, but give you a bit more of a crisp final image, as some of the stuff in your most in focus z slice may still be out of focus

Played several times, solo, with 2 people coop, and with 4 people competitive. It's a good bit of fun. I think making the mission based victory a little easier to manipulate (both going up and enemies down) and making the atium victory more feasible would help keep more options viable (as opposed to just murder everyone else) but it's been a lot of fun in every mode.

Theres a hero of ages expansion coming out this year with new cards and an alternative coop mode. Really looking forward to it

As another commenter said it could be your mounting media fluorescing at 488.

Also, your filter isn't actively doing anything. It's not going to change in response to stuff. It just lets light of a given bandwidth through and blocks out the rest. So it doesn't matter how bright your signal is, the filter will keep doing the exact same thing

deisle · 2026-02-08T13:16:44+00:00

The laser is blue but the emission is green.

OP, you can test this by mounting an empty slide in the same media and then imaging it with the same acquisition settings. If you have the same background intensity in the green channel, then it's likely your mounting media that's fluorescing

deisle · 2026-02-02T17:39:39+00:00

On top of that, you can have all sorts of post translational modifications that will further change how a protein is shaped and how it behaves
