Paradigm shift: Evolution is not as random as we thought

The researchers have essentially discovered an invisible ecosystem where genes can cooperate or can be in conflict with one another.

Racist, misogynist online disinformation already being used against Kamala Harris’ campaign https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/072624_harris_attacks/racist-misogynist-online-disinformation-already-being-used-against-kamala-harris-campaign/
Vice President Kamala Harris has long been the target of racist and misogynistic attacks online, and in the days since President Biden endorsed Harris to be his successor, right-wing media and others have primarily focused on sexualized and racist narratives about Harris.

Perhaps the new UK government is not that interested in this "war on woke":

Government delays university free-speech fines
Controversial new powers for universities and student unions to be fined for failing to uphold freedom of speech have been put on hold by the government. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said that would allow time to consider whether the law, which was due to come into force next week, would be repealed.

It also included a new complaints scheme for students, staff and visiting speakers, who could seek compensation if they suffer from a breach of a university's free- speech obligations. But a government source told the BBC the legislation would have opened the way for Holocaust deniers to be allowed on campus, and was an “anti-semite charter”.

Oooh, cool, you can write videogames which will cause a processor bug, which will permanently damage your Intel processor!

"The bug causes irreversible degradation of the impacted processors. We're told that the microcode patch will not repair processors already experiencing crashes, but it is expected to prevent issues on processors that aren't currently impacted by the issue."

"What freaks conservatives out about Harris’ laugh is that it’s real. When she laughs she’s not enacting a performance of mirth; her laugh is genuine. What they really mean when they complain about it is How dare she! A woman? Thinking she has the right to just laugh whenever she wants to? What is the world coming to? This is what Trump and others on the right hate about Harris’s laugh: She thinks she has the right to laugh whether they like it or not, and with real joy."

"When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power [...] more of an ability to speak your voice [...] than people who don't have kids."

That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. This would actually come down to parents voting of behalf of their children ... and automatically that what the parents vote for (rebellious teenagers will certainly love that 🙄).

Brought to you by the party that lives in constant fear of dead people voting.

Almost 10 years ago, I worked at a school, and we dug up an laptop from about 2000 in order to read some floppies. I thought about that back then: the difference between a 2015 laptop and a 2000 laptop is certainly less significant than between a 2000 laptop and a 1985 laptop.

@KarlPettersson true. And I think that in 2030 we will still be able to use a 2015 laptop for normal use

Me, after being accused by my niece of being cringe challenged Leo, a lion like thing she bought, to the title "king of cringe" (a positive it seems)
Election results are in and Leo won in a landslide mostly because the voting cohorts consisted of me, her dad, her grandma, my husband and a passing neighbour
I tried chanting "stop the vote!" and still consider this an obviously stolen election. Covfefe

#France is raising taxes on flights to pay for trains

Countries affected by #fires should follow this: #Portugal #Spain #Greece #Italy

"If you fly from Paris to Barcelona the #airline not only pays no VAT, but is also exempt from kerosene #tax. If you make the same journey by #train, the rail company will pay an #energy tax and passenger #VAT. This means higher costs for the company which are usually reflected in ticket prices."

@AlexanderMars I'd be down with implementing heavy taxes in internal flights between the 3 major mainland airports (Lisbon, Porto, Faro), if that came with heavy investment to make that rail corridor better
@d3x7r0 Europe in general should impose taxes on tourists and direct the funds to infrastructure. Make the EITAS €14 instead of €7, that alone could generate an easy billion euros annually. I’m sure the average American would complain loudly, but that’s probably only what they spend on frappucinos in a single day.

Just came back from a summer trip for 5 days with some of "our" kids and teenagers at the north sea... Beach, sandcastles, sea, seals, starfishes, sea shells, fishes excited children you get the picture.

Was fun and hard work all at the same time, the accomodation was ok (think of a school trip hostel) and for some of the kids it was their first summer break trip ever. So, home sickness included...

But it was cool but *phew*... now *I* need a holiday...😀

If VP Harris picks Senator Mark Kelly as her running mate, below are good reasons to pick him:

1. His parents are retired police officers (so he’s not soft on crime)
2. He’s the Senator of a border state (So he understands the challenges of immigration)
3. He’s a Navy Test Pilot (so he’s got the military’s back)
4. He’s a retired NASA Astronaut (he gets the space race)
5. His wife Gabby was shot in the head (So he’s up for gun reform laws)

He would terrify the GOP!

I might have to give her a promotion and maybe a raise. Something to think about.

3 years ago today, before I had upgraded to fashionable black KN95 masks.

How to avoid #Covid when a contractor visits your home, part one.

I needed a plumber because my toilet was broken.

1. I put my P100 respirator on when I knew the plumber was on his way...

2. I made the plumber put on a 3M Aura *before* entering my apartment.

3. I moved one of my large HEPA devices to my bathroom before he arrived. I kept it running the whole time.

4. After the plumber left, I kept my respirator on and the big HEPA in my bathroom for an hour.
