THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 2)

I will break the ice abit

here finaly, my GUS Experiment resolt, as a pics:

that just small part of the GUS

everything that Blue its a Gus coloring and that also mean that the protin APX6 its present (where its created, not the protin himslef, AKA as Promotor of APX6)

Are these plant roots of some sort?

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo Overgod of Thrive and everything else. Semi-professor of botany and avid plant and bacteria abuser.)]

in order:

1. Flower bud
2. Root
3. End of leaves (older cells)

Except for the leaves, the rest were unexpected. According to previous experiments, they should only be present in the oldest leaves (like in the third picture), but it seems that according to time, they appeared in unexpected places (especially 2 hours after being dipped in copper II, where it actually appeared in the root. It makes sense if you consider that the roots absorb the copper first).

I am doing another experiment, which robbed me of some of my sanity for the day and expensive materials such as X-Gluc (toxic)

Repeat the experiment with soil plants this time (the plants in the picture were taken from plants grown in agar gel without the presence of soil at all)

This copper torture seems to be yielding interesting results…

@Deathwake

honestly expecting stuff this month is just to optimistic. Be patient. If i were valve I would time it as well as possible to drain as much money as possible from the sale of the switch 2, but if i didn’t have a product yet and needed more time, i’d stall a WHILE so my customers had money for a new console. in other words, either real soon, or once everyone stops talking about the switch 2. I also have no real evidence this belgium exists at all, but yk. your job, not mine, cope-ers.

But the Switch 2 isn’t a VR headset! And the Deckard isn’t a Steam Deck… oh wait! It is one, but for your face.

Just because it’s not VR doesn’t mean there aren’t idiots willing to drop their life savings for it.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Wonder how pricey will switch 3 be at this point

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Probably the same price as Half-Life 3.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. Well hopefully we don’t ever have to get to that point.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

for those with hollow bones, yes, but hollow bones are an enormous disadvantage unless you’re using them to be lighter and store air for flight, so air sacs in the bones of birds that don’t need endurance while flying tend to recede and be replaced with structural stuff rather quickly

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Are chickens a transistionary form in terms of their bones?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

actually, i was incorrect. all animals have hollow bones(as in, not structural bone all the way through), but what actually makes the bones of small birds a disadvantage to anything that doesn’t fly, is how thin the shells are.
and bird bones are actually denser(and sturdier) than mammal bones of similar sizes as well! ^{[1] [2]}

Thanks for finding and sharing the article with everyone!

@willow

bones of small birds

Do larger flying birds not suffer the same bone problems?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Is there anything else you want to discuss about my FG? I don’t want to change my wholesome comment to doomlightning in the FG, since he was sick.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

nope, their bones are thicker, cause they can’t get away with their pneumatic bones having extremely thin shells, like smaller birds can
that’s also why larger birds can carry away small animals, and not just tiny ones

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Right. Do you think Pterosaurs had similar adaptations?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

It would cool if life evolved on another planet to used other purines like Xanthine as a nucleotide. Sadly, I don’t think Caffeine can be used a nucleotide since it would become too positively charged and destabilize the structure of DNA/RNA.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I don’t think that would make for a good feature. That being said I wonder if there could be biotas where both their DNA and RNA have all the same nucleotide letters…

I hope everyone has a good set of holidays this week, regardless of whether or not someone celebrates them!
