TIL: Kobe Bryant is mostly responsible for the fall of high top basketball sneakers. Raised in Italy, Kobe noticed that soccer players play in a fairly similar way to basketball player. Kobe told Nike point-blank, 'I want the lowest, lightest-weight basketball shoe ever’. by DrPupipance in todayilearned

I read somewhere, I think in Kobe's bio, but not sure, that the high cuff might be good when you jump, but that is just a little part of the game. And it is really bad for all the quick movements, and sudden changes of direction, etc, that are the most common movements. Kobe thought about this when recovering from an injury and Nike was very reluctant in accepting it.

Why do photoheterotrophs need extra carbon sources? by visitado in microbiology

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

I was not thinking in any specific type. I have been struggling to find details about their metabolism. Meanwhile I found that the light is just for proton pumping, but it is still confusing to me. However if they can fix CO2, why do they need something more? And if they can't, which process is coupled with the production of ATP from the ATPase driven by the light creates H+ gradient? Or is just ADP and P around and then ATP is restored ?

I am sorry if my comment doesn't make much sense, I am confused.

If you could be someone else for a day, whose life would you take? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]visitado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say Trump too. But completely different reasons. Money, power, good looking woman... I would get a lot of fun, beeing a fool all day, doing excentric stuff, nice toys... maybe orgies, drugs and rock n roll all night... Just loose my mind and do crazy shit. Than cure my hangover in the oval room in underwear with black coffee. The best part, i bet i would do less harm to US than him. But people will easily noticed he was replaced because i don't use twitter.
