I find Google search to be just a bad product these days. Would love to switch to another search provider

They are backwards. Sorry, couldn’t not see it.

I didn’t see this one yet…

I culture cells for a living. Not that these are the only ways, but the most common and effective ways to grow cells in the lab is to add either FBS (fetal bovine serum) or BSA (bovine serum albumin) to the culture media. Currently we don’t mass produce BSA in an animal free manner and FBS is by nature an animal product. Granted, that the products of one animal may in fact allow manufacturers produce more than enough ‘animal-free meat’ to overcome this but I haven’t seen any numbers. I’m interested in hearing more about these techniques going forward and in determining if animal-free products can really be produced animal free.

Bwahahaha. Sure take the one thing every American doctor or medical associate, every patient and worker hates. That a great idea /s

Wouldn’t it be great if the US started relocating it’s military bases to other states? I’m sure NM, MI or CA would be happy to have them.

Pricing starts at around US$5,300.

I wish I could agree but their absolute refusal to get into NIL and more importantly ( because the Stanford education is valuable) their horrible transfer policies are symptom of a university that does not care about football. In an area that didn’t care about college football either.

Your best players, who have spent years in your system being molded are required to leave because they cannot get into graduate programs. These are Stanford grads. But Stanford doesn’t do that?!

Also the awful credit transfers ensure only freshman can transfer it, if their have the grades.

Again, this is a university that doesn’t give a damn about football, likely didn’t during the heydays either. Why would Fox, NBC or CBS want to pay for that? They wouldn’t.

As Duck fan I really loved when these two teams should it out for the North. I am saddened that the university decided it wasn’t really worth their time but an not sad that they now reap what they have sown.

This is really a bad idea. I have a hard time believing ESPN wants to pay any fraction of $35-ish million to these schools. No one watches them. No one cares. Costs increase for everyone. Lose, lose. Not happening.

The Pac4 should just get off their horse and realize the MWC is what they belong on right now. Work hard, get better, build the brave. Try to jump on the next realignment.

In other news, water is wet, grass is green and your government is not ‘for the people’

Found it, real paper, wrong journal. Horrible article by Newsweek. https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40168-023-01599-7

This feels oddly fake. No journal of that name, nothing on INRAE (the research institute claimed to have published this). AI generated news? I wouldn’t doubt it. I know that Chat-GPT is very good at making fake scientific summaries (complete with fake references using real names in the field) why not fake science news? Also, the vaccine is for the tick… Not for us to use against the tick. For the tick…

Love it. Keep going.

Is that a dog food and water dish in between the toilet and bidet? Wow! You can have all your best friends with you in the bathroom! This is definitely a setup for people who cannot stand being with their own thoughts.

I would try this and say “I’m about to die” by accident and then spend five minutes explaining the mistake and five days thinking about it. No thanks,.

I really liked the call back to Breaking Bad when he’s like: " Say my name! Say it! Say it! Damn right I’m Oppenheimer"

Yeah great. But where is this place?

While these groups are the culprit during this round, the entirely of the US government and the post secondary educational system is truly to blame. Universities have been peddling an overpriced ware to under informed children and their parents for decades. Terrifying then with the fear of losing ground in middle America while offering a product with ever decreasing value for ever increasing cost, partly because of student loans. The government has then enabled greater and greater burden upon these children and their parents by allowing special loans to groups who should never have had them, by protecting those loans from bankruptcy and by making $$ from baking interest as these groups struggled to pay. It’s a travesty. It should never have happened. Education should be free for all.
