Of course! I’m a biologist, I try to use my powers for good.

Functional changes in coloration are much “easier” (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it’s reasonable to assume they’d developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.

Edit: oh geez, I misunderstood your message. It totally could have been a rainbow party blimp. That mostly depends on what their habitat was like.

Definitely. The minimum infective dose is around 10-100 million CFUs.

1+ for koreader, it’s so much better than the stock Kindle reader.

Arrrr! 🦜🏴‍☠️⛵

That’s a really thoughtful take, I’m glad you shared. I think it has merit. I think proximity is a factor too. The public rarely gets up close to a jet, but I can attest from personal experience they seem much faster when you’re closer during takeoff and landing.

Paracetamol?! Not only would that be largely ineffective at preventing pain, it takes 30-60 minutes to start working. The incompetence astounds.

I just love the feeling of when it stretches.

Why don’t we just cut to the chase and have Brandon Sanderson finish it already?

Often they only want the illusion of output, just enough to keep the profits eternally rising.

My hero!

I’m sorry to hear it, my partner similarly doesn’t react well to some of the meds. They take strattera and it took them a few months for the side effects to subside. It never hurts to try different meds!

Keep in mind it manifests differently for everyone. I have it pretty mildly, so it’s fairly well managed through guanfacine, a similarly mild medication, and lifestyle changes. The only reason my psychiatrist and I know I have it is it “flares up” pretty badly when I’m stressed and my life easily goes off the rails as I increasingly begin to exhibit more ADHD behavior.

It’s also possible you don’t have it as neurotypical folk experience most ADHD symptoms from time to time, just with less frequency and severity.

Better late than never! My partner is just now figuring it out. Being aware of the behavior is a huge step forward.

I was behind a lifted truck yesterday with a Punisher/We the People/thin blue line combo sticker next to a Gadsden flag sticker. It’s just a collective sign screaming “I don’t know anything about any of this”.

They include these goofy looking guys, Cotylorhynchus, AKA the anti-Charlie Kirk.

As well as employers contacting the university for verification, graduates can request their university send certified copies of their transcripts and diplomas. It’s also possible for candidates to supply an unofficial transcript that can be later verified.

The context of the thread is few employers seem to question if educations are legitimate, not that they suspect they’re fake. The point I’m making is that not only are they not verifying information with my university, they’re not even asking me to substantiate anything, official or otherwise.

It’s true. I finished grad school well over a decade ago, not once has anyone verified my education. They haven’t even requested transcripts.

I don’t know, what’s your net worth?

It’s not even fun in a bad way!
