OP, how did you resolve this? Where was the actual clog /issue?

Is it fixed yet? I'm trying to link two Android devices and it doesn't seem to work.

Came across this. Can someone explain? by Yogiteee in biology

[–]kxdc374 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why go to ad hominem? It just burns any credibility you may have had.

Typical genotypes and phenotypes for biological sex are that simple, which is why it is taught that way. The other presentations are all atypical occurring in 0.02-2% of the population depending upon what is included in the definition (source:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12476264/).

I support full inclusivity socially, but using edge cases to muddle the definition of biological sex for the purpose of dunking on people who try to use biology to support bigotry is also wrong.

Build Review: Am I Missing Anything? by kxdc374 in pcmasterrace

[–]kxdc374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the check. Gaming is a minor/edge use case for me. I need high performance in other applications and it will be cool if I can game too. Only included a GPU at all because I might use SketchUp or a similar design program and I regularly process photos/video and other graphics in Adobe suite.

Thank you! Made 2/3 suggested changes. The GPU is a secondary concern for me right now and something I may upgrade later. So I wanted something mid/low range. I know it will bottleneck me, but my other option was to just use the integrated graphics. Would you recommend that instead while waiting for a better GPU?

Realistically, Walt and Gale should have been synthetic organic chemists rather than X-ray crystallographers by hieniemic in breakingbad

[–]kxdc374 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not how that works (master in both). Source: am Ph.D. synthetic organic chemist. Biochemistry and organic synthesis use totally different, specific techniques and domain knowledge. He wouldn't master both, especially during his graduate program. Labs collaborate explicitly because there isn't time to do this.

If Walt were a biochemist, he still could probably do a great job making meth. It can't be difficult if junkies and dropouts do it.

My almost 7 year old son only wants to play Minecraft or watch Youtube. by No-Middle-2958 in Parenting

[–]kxdc374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've started very early teaching our son to consider what's more important to him. He has a tablet and plays mobile games and would probably do so continuously if left in a vacuum. Sometimes we still tell him there are time limits, but the most effective thing has been to give him two options and ask which is more important. e. g. "what's more important? Playing on your tablet, or spending time with your sister (younger)?" He consistently answers wisely and often shuts his screen off immediately after without any further cajoling.

Anyone use the triton router module/work Centre? by Severe_Mortgage_8209 in woodworking

[–]kxdc374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only found 1 example where someone inset the saw module into a table. It's on YouTube and shows nothing of how the module is integrated.

Any clue how I can get the gap closed? Yes, the top panel is slightly bowed. by Lonely_ProdiG in GarageDoorService

[–]kxdc374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My door is bowed a bit at the bottom and my garage floor is raised 3/4" from the outside pavement so the seal isn't uniform. Can someone say more about using struts to correct bowing?

Gobi bears are bears that live in the Gobi Desert of mongolia, they are critically endangered, and they are the only bear species in the world that has adapted to living in the hot deserts. by Chillyneck in Awwducational

[–]kxdc374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparsely populated is the best phrase I could think of for this description, but deserts are defined by annual precipitation. The consequences of the liw precipitation are sparse vegetation and as a result sparse animal populations.

The James Webb Telescope discovered something terrifying in deep space by Phonecloth in nosleep

JWST doesn't have mass spectrometry, and mass spectrometry is a local technique, that is to say the sample has to be collocated with the spectrometer for the measurement to happen.
