It’s the difference between a pyramid scheme and an MLM: one of them has a product in the mix.

Far better names than most others get. What the hell does a C. elegans elegans look like?

There are lots of reasons to have binocular frontal vision. Redundancy, differing info for optic flow, sensitivity, reducing the frontal blind spot, compensating for retinal blind spots, higher frontal resulution, seeing around things, depth perception…

Most of there are good for predators, but predation isn’t the only reason to have them.

Aye-Ayes and Tarsiers have very forward facing eyes, yet eat mostly gruvs in trees.

Randall does have a lot of geology humor specifically. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knows a few geologist.

I can see a little grain of truth in finding depressions and soft ground as the dowser shifts their body to stand level, which may indicate geological features associated with ground water.

Humans also have a really good sense of smell for petrichor, which might also be related to ground water, with dowsing just being useful to focus on suble things like smell.

Anyone who thinks dowsing can detect water directly is clueless or lying though, and dowsing has absolutely been used as a grift before.

The low spec target seems pretty important.

Man and woman maybe, because of gender roles, but not male and female.

Goblin sharks exist!

I’ve had decent results running jetbrains IDEs from a Fedora Toolbx, probably doesn’t have to be fedora though. You just have to start them from a toolbox terminal.

That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don’t know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

I think that’s part of the joke. Instead of the snappy punchline, there’s a long and tedious realistic answer that goen on long after the point has been made.

Not all apples, but many. Including Macintosh, which was found along a road and could never produce viable seeds. There were only three trees for like 30 years before people noticed that they tasted rather good. All Macintosh apples today are grafts of the one surviving tree.

Nope, all dirty fleshbag. I just like knowing things and hope others do too. :)

That old version “Gros Michel” is what artificial banana flavour is based on. Bananas used to taste like that. The newer “Cavendish” variety is firmer and lasts longer, but doesn’t have the same flavour. It seems like both are being wiped out by disease though, yay monoculture.

Cavendish seem to be especially vulnerable because they’re all clones. They don’t produce viable seeds, so they’re grafted to new plants.

There’s a flavor of bazzite made for developing now, Bazzite-dx

If you need a minimum speed to maintain balance, how are you going to pedal while stationary?

Better to have active regeneration, where you pedal a bit harder on flats to top up the battery for hills.

Not if you have a hub motor. Those don’t interact with the gear system at all.

Don’t worry, it will grow bright enough to fry Earth in only 300 million!
