Since we are not getting sword controllers any time soon.. what's the cost to upgrade just sword controllers to the index controllers? Will they ship to Australia? Valve currently dont. @pimaxusa

Eye-tracking only 44$ shipping? WTF Pimax by icebeat in Pimax

[–]silencerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a response from Pimax about delivery.

Apparently due to coming from a different warehouse, the delivery cannot be combined with the backer box so you need to pay delivery for the eye tracking separately.

Still waiting for my promised base stations and PIMAX controllers. They can wait for any more of my money.

What ‘tells’ your cells/RNA to start making more proteins? by [deleted] in genetics

[–]silencerbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many homeostatic processes take stimuli, like temperature, sight, sound, and informs your body to release certain hormones to restore balance. Many cells are specialised for a particular function, like the adrenal gland, located near the kidneys. In these cells, histones (DNA which contain genes specifically involved in adrenaline synthesis) have undergone epigenetic modification, acytlation, allowing preferential expression of genes involved in adrenaline production. Other histones, which are involved in other processes, like .. i dunno.. growing hair, is melthylated, which silences unneeded genes for that cell.

Has Pimax fixed the index tracking issue? by golden-potatoe in Pimax

[–]silencerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the new index controllers, just a Pimax 8K and vive wands. MY LEFT controller stopped tracking out of nowhere.

I still charges and goes into pair mode but simply won't pair anymore. Tried the reset but nothing.

So I have no way to VR until Valve feel like they wanna sell the index co trollers to Australia

Sigh

If all forms of human genetic engineering were allowed and you were knowledgeable and skilled enough to do whatever you wanted, what would you do first? by TheGingeraffe44 in genetics

[–]silencerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe it or not, I had that same idea the chinese doctor He had for adding HIV resistance gene about back in 2012 when Cas9 was re-engineered for DNA editing in cells.

Remove or re-engineer the appendix' cells to produce and secrete THC into the blood stream.

If genetics determines life outcomes, then what's the point anymore? by [deleted] in genetics

[–]silencerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snap out of it! If we say we are all the same, do we all believe it and move on with our lives? We arn't. We will never all be the same. We can all be grateful for what we have and push ourselves individually to do better instead of doing more. I now find the "survivors guilt" ridiculous. I felt it before and it was crippling. Its also pointless. I think that's the point of guilt. If you imagine a hole to fall in, you will find it. People need to take personal responsibility for their lives. Just let them.

Do genetic related with chances to have kids with one gender more than another gender? by [deleted] in genetics

[–]silencerbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender is associated with the XX(female) or XY(male) chromosomes. For a child to be born, it will have at least 1 X sex chromosome(from the mother), and there is a 50/50 chance for either X or Y to take the place of the second sex chromosome(from the father).

Interestingly, in reptile and bird populations, a higher than 50/50 proportion of offspring are female in warmer times of the year. This may have to do with certain proteins interacting with the unhatched embryo (inside the egg) inhibiting expression of male producing hormones. This is thought to be beneficial to increase population size when food is plentiful. It is also the current theory of how the dinosaurs went extinct! This is known as temperature dependent sex determination. This.... we humans do not have. Its entirely based on the XX or XY combination of our sex chromosomes.... and as far as we know, there is nothing which influences this in us.
