Every time Sergei gets upset his jowels melt ever so slightly further down his face. Similar to a glacier

Definitely would have been a propaganda victory but that’s a hot potato to have to contend with. Can’t be worth the risk of causing a nuclear disaster so close to your border. The Russians are insane for being so reckless with Zaporizhzhia

“What if a drone and a tow missile had a baby?”

Welp, here ya go

Interesting question, I found this

You can’t make a baby with two moms by simply fusing two eggs or adding one egg’s DNA to another’s.  Even though the resulting embryo would have the usual 46 chromosomes, this wouldn’t work.

The reason isn’t some special string of A’s, G’s, T’s or C’s found in dad’s DNA.  No, instead it has to do with chemical marks found on egg and sperm DNA.  This methylation (as the marks are called) makes the DNA from each parent unique, and you need both to make a baby.

What these marks do is affect how at least 80 different genes are used.  In science speak, these genes are imprinted.

As you may remember, we have two copies of each of our genes, one from each biological parent.  The chemical marks shut off either the copy from the egg or sperm, depending on which has the marks present…

If an embryo’s DNA came from two parents of the same sex, then both copies of some of these imprinted genes will be shut off.  And for the rest of these genes, both copies will be turned on.  Embryos simply can’t survive when so many genes are out of whack. In fact, diseases like Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome can happen when just one of these genes isn’t passed on properly.

I never thought about that, but it makes sense

It’s an improvised musical instrument, I think that’s descriptive enough

It’s crazy watching this kind of tactical evolution occurring in real time. Reminds me of the evolution of aircraft in the First World War

!aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz is that way, buddy.

The Nazis overheated the German economy not entirely unlike what is happening in Russia right now. It wasn’t sustainable nor healthy.

Crashing waves at the beach. Seagulls are little assholes but they add to the effect for me

A lot of effort for a tortured Command and Conquer joke

Jesus out there lookin like a C’tan shard

I see 999 right now

Yeah maybe to their three mile island project. What a weird sentence. Just a few years off from our Weyland Yutani future

Gotcha, sounds like we’re measuring two different things then

79,000,000 / 2,550 = 30,980

The original article is about Russia, so not really imo.

India and China don’t trust each other much at all and Brazil and South Africa just want trading partners

It’s just an economic bloc. They don’t even really agree on much other than the desire to not get pushed around by the G7.

I just got an email from Reuters just the other day saying they’re implementing a paywall. Looks like they’re trying to find multiple new revenue streams
