Thanks! I didn't want to write any spoilers, but somehow I failed to think of including the actual story.

This reminds me very much of a short story The Egg by Andy Weir.

Not any more. It was never an official name. Now it is Arrokoth.

It's not so much about nuclear envelope and more about ends. DNA polymerase (an enzyme that builds new DNA) cannot copy the whole end - there are a few bases that should be at the end but cannot be added. Eukaryota deal with it by a complex mechanism (they have telomeres), but it allows for multiple chromosomes and therefore larger genomes. Bacteria have a circular genome instead, a circle doesn't have an end, so they can copy as much as they need.

BTW, mitochondria and plastids, being former bacteria, also have circular genomes.

I don't remeber the movies, but didn't the dead finish the battle around Minas Tirith? In books, they defeated the fleet of bad guys near the mouth of Anduin, freeing significant army, which then takes the ships anf goes to Minas Tirith. The rest of the battle there is not unusually supernatural, if I remember correctly. I remeber not likig this part of the film. I understand it, but I think this part in particular felt very abrupt.

Identification of species and their relatedness has not.been done on morphological, but rather molecular basis for quite some time. In molecular terms, they are slightly modified grey wolfs. BTW, dogs are all one species, all very similar even on molecular level, and yet look at their morphology...

If you come from elsewhere in the EU, yes, you can always vote in local elections and european parliament elections where you live. If you're from elsewhere, it depends on local law.

It isn't great when a doctor goes to fetch their colleague to have a look while examinig you. But of course that after all the same boring stuff, they are excited about something unusual. I heard about an ophthalmologist who, out of all her carreer, was most excited about solving someone's issues by finding crabs in their eyebrows.

I guess in this case obscure differs a lot geographically, but I definitely know places where they are almost completely unknown.

That's great. But I know a european patient who's been taking it for well over a year for free from a local healthcare system, so how is it first?

Before I opened it, I thought it was a text transcript of records of the noisy insect and was very, very confused and curious.

That's new, I only know https://theuselessweb.com/

Well, the currently approved lander is a modified starship simply standing on some legs. Your solution would work, but it isn't what will happen during Artemis. Not with the money available (other options were much more expensive), and even if there was more money, almost certainly not under current administration.

I didn't read the article, just watched the video. But my guess is dynamic interactions of the exhaust gases with the regolith. I don't think it's something there's much data about. Without a landing pad, a landing of a full Starship may be a risky business. Of course the landing thrusters on the tip should help a lot, but still. And now that I think about it, the launch from the surface might be worrying as well. We've seen what Super Heavy did to a robust concrete slab without a deflector. Starship is nowhere near that powerful, but regolith is no concrete, and you preferably don't want flying debris damaging your engines when you're trying to come back from the Moon.

Well, they were eaten as medicine for centuries. Not to mention as a paint and possibly for fires...

BTC? No way, that's way too sane. It's going to be DOGE.

It says you still need eggs. Can you replace them and make it from blood, beer, flour and blood?

Some basic circuits are quite simple, if you hooked up an alarm, there's a lot you can do. For example, controlling inserters based on chest contents can be very helpful when you output multiple products into a single passive provider to avoid one product taking all space. Or observing a single accumulator charge to disengage power switch :-) But the most complicated logic I did is really only decorative. And I'm also having fun with multiproduct assemblers.

I just finished lights around a constant combinator that serves as a switch for recovery of power in case of a brownout on Vulcanus. The lights are circling around the combinator while changing colours through the whole spectrum.

It's completely useless and I love it and am very proud of it. I spent 2 evenings on it :-)
