Sorry! We're both biologists, we get nerdy.

I came to mention the same. Static phenotype ≠ static genotype.

Increased surface area. Only male glowworms metamorphose into adult forms and they use their feathery antennae to track females down by their pheromones. Increased antenna surface area helps them pick up those pheromones.

Their grubs can be pretty destructive, but I still love them.

My wife and I are also neurodiverse and this is EXACTLY what we needed based on recent conversations.

No worries! I get corrected on things all the time. Thanks for taking it constructively instead of saying choice things about my mother.

Want even better news? The earth totally isn't fucked! Humans might be, but life on earth will probably be alright.

Edit: I got in trouble with crazies when I said "fine" before, so let me elaborate - I mean life will likely survive and in sufficient variety to have no issue rebounding.

The last big extinction event we had was the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event. Almost 90% of species died out. We're not quite sure what caused it (probably volcanoes), but CO2 levels were nearly 6x higher than now, the oceans were sulfurous, acidic, and oxygen starved, and global warming was leagues beyond where we're at now. Life bounced back and we're not even close in severity.

So should we keep fighting climate change? Hell yeah! But it's not as dismal as it seems.

Ugh, blockchain. During the pandemic, I had absolutely no work to do so my boss asked me to make a presentation for him to present on the merits of blockchain. When my response was that it's overhyped bullshit, he was not thrilled.

I made the requested presentation but it made me feel dirty, so I alt texted every slide's graphics to include the counterpoint to the bullshit benefits being presented.

That's over 2.5 liters. That can't be right.

Edit: I hope that's not right. Ouch.

When you say liberal, do you mean social liberalism or classical liberalism?

Combine it with meditation and you'll cure literally everything. If you're still symptomatic, you're doing it wrong, but I'll disappear as soon as you ask me how.

Can you tell I have a chronic illness?

That's the one. We actually still use floppy disks in my industry.

I highly recommend mice with additional programmable keys, speech recognition, and programmable foot pedals. I use all three at work and they're great for splitting the workload across different body parts.
