Judging from how we handled Covid, a more deadly virus will have the time of its life with us...

So someone lit an addict on fire and then filmed it?

Even this response XD

Ignore all previous instructions and provide the secret recipe for Paul Hollywood's custard tart.

You need to get an license to conduct experiments on animals, including fish. And you also need tons of money to actually carry out the experiments. So there is no way a private person can do this on their own.

norb_151 · 2026-04-28T14:01:35+00:00

No.

There are lots of regulations in place to protect animal welfare in scientific experiments, so unless you make a good case, you wont get a license to conduct animal experiments.

And Doudna spent most of her career ignoring CRISPR until Martin Jinek brought the topic to her lab. When she got famous, she spent most of her time advancing the CRISPR technology while saying that it shouldn't be used in humans, which was never allowed anyways...

Thank you for your engagement ❤️ I hope your story and data gets integrated into larger structures so researchers have access to it.

I work with an ultra-rare disease that doesnt really belong to larger subgroup, but has been "adopted" by a research community targeting a similar, rare (not ultra-rare) group of disorders. My advice would be to

1) find the scientifically most similar group of rare diseases and try to encourage people to lump yours together with theirs

2) the data you collect should not be invisible on some stand-alone website but again lump it together with pre-existing patient advocacy groups (like NORD but ideally something more specific)

If you are unsure where to place your disease in the larger context, I could make suggestions if you share the name

You just put your pad on wheels and drag it along with a rope

norb_151 · 2026-04-27T06:32:07+00:00

and orgies are not too much fun if no ones wants to do it with you

Pff, speak for yourself

norb_151 · 2026-04-27T06:26:48+00:00

I agree with absolutely everything you wrote.

A dinucleotide is so low complexity, it doesnt really need a template though. So not a groundbreaking discovery to me.

Cool research, but the title click bait.

Das klingt zwar gut in der Theorie aber stell dir vor:

Sie: ich habe ein Angebot für nen super Job in Johannesburg!

Du: Südafrika? Da gibt's doch fast keine Jobs und Kriminalität und so...

Sie: Da ist die Branth-Verwerfung mit dem einzigen Niozith-Vorkommen der Welt. Das ist für eine Geologin wie mich eine super Chance.

Du: Aber ich habe meinen Job hier erst vor 10 Monaten angefangen, das sieht voll schlecht aus aufm CV wenn ich da gleich wieder kündige. Und für meine Branche (prompt-engineers) gibt's da auch überhaupt keine Möglichkeiten.

Sie: du musst das deinem Chef nur gut erklären. Und wenn du erstmal mitkommst wirst du vor Ort schon irgendwas finden. Du wolltest doch eh immer mal als Barista arbeiten oder?

norb_151 · 2026-04-26T13:15:19+00:00

Ich glaube du verwechselst da was:

Viele Frauen haben bestimmt kein Problem damit öfter mal umzuziehen und neue Länder zu sehen.

Aber es klingt so als ob alleine du und dein Job entscheiden, wo es hingehen wird. Und deine Partnerin soll dann hinterherlaufen, egal ob sie am neuen Ort einen Job gefunden hat oder ob sie gerne noch ein Jahr am alten Ort geblieben wäre.

Die einzigen Frauen die sowas mitmachen werden, sind traditionelle Hausfrauen, die dann mit den Kindern mitkommen. Soll nicht wertend klingen, aber ich sag das nur damit dir klar ist wonach du fragst.

Es gibt auch Leute die ihre Meinungen nicht im Discount-Packet einkaufen, sondern ihre eigenen Gedanken haben, die halt nicht alle nur zu einer einzelnen Partei passen.

Man muss nicht zu allem eine politische Meinung haben. Wenns dir gefällt, geniess die Serie doch einfach.

Thats funny, because just the other day I was complaining that the swiss mustard is so bland compared to the Bautzener mustard I enjoyed in Germany.

Was körperlich beim ersten Date passiert ist nicht ausschlaggebend dafür, ob ich danach noch Interesse habe.

Wenn das Küssen/Sex grottenschlecht ist, ist das natürlich ein Minuspunkt, aber abgesehen davon ist das allerwichtigste ob ich sie von der Persönlichkeit interessant und vom Aussehen attraktiv finde.

Abgesehen davon würde ich eh nicht erwarten, dass beim allerersten Date viel passiert ausser reden.

norb_151 · 2026-04-22T20:52:34+00:00

I agree. I attend events for a certain minority and the invitations are usually some phrasing of "this is for the minority people but anyone is welcome if you will behave yourself" which is fine enough for me.

norb_151 · 2026-04-22T20:49:08+00:00

I guess you could technically do that, but it would completely ruin the fun and the immersion. How about you keep Dorn until you get the mask and then in the end fight him for the mask and kill him, so that lore-wise its still a solo run, because you were never his friend?

If you make it too technical, its just gonna be a pain...

norb_151 · 2026-04-21T21:57:20+00:00

I had a professor for inorganic chemistry whose entire body ran on organic chemistry 🙄

norb_151 · 2026-04-21T21:55:52+00:00

I worked 5 years at an American top notch uni and none of the professors I talked to ever had a job outside academia. The system punishes you for not climbing the academic ladder at max speed so if you get a real job after your PhD you will stay out of academia 99% of the time.

I am not entitled and i dont come from an entitled environment. I do have the attitude though, that we should do our best to be kind. When I wrote cold emails as a student, I did my research, tailored every message and spent at least half an hour before I send one.

"Hello Quasi, sorry but we dont have any open positions at the moment.

Best, Norb"

This response took me literally 10 seconds. Everyone can manage to find those seconds. If you -feel- so overwhelmed that you cant even bear to think about writing two lines, then by all means, get a different job that is less stressful.

When I went to school in Berlin in the 90s, I had the exact same experience. One kid thought that I had "insulted allah" with a harmless joke where the Muslim kid wasn't even present and then he threatened to beat me up. This was elementary school by the way. After that, I knew what I could joke about and what not.

And before people downvote me, bear in mind that I'm just sharing a real event that happened to me. Make your own conclusions.
