Actually, no. I'm studying for a molecular infection biology class rn.
Neither. Influenza is the flu. The common cold is caused by a variety of viruses, iirc.
I know how to solve this, but my solution only works for spherical cubes in a vacuum.
I think there it's more the overuse of antibiotics to speed up growth. Idk, I just ripped the info from a lecture. xD
But domesticated birds are not good carriers of influenza, specifically. Unlime wild birds, they do get sick. Otherwise, I totally agree.
Sir, please stay where you are. This is the SCP. Remain calm. You will be harmed. Not. Not be harmed.
Technically more like an archaeon that learned a few tricks.
Fair enough. I just belong to the people who require a valid taxon to be monophyletic. (Btw., "clade" already implies monophyleti...city? Monophyleticness?)
Also, shut up about viruses, they make a mess of everything and are beautifully chaotic and I hate them and I love them. xD
What I'm getting at is taxonomy. A valid taxon has to include all descendents of the crown group. That means that for monkeys to constitute a valid taxon, apes must be included. Same reason why birds are technically dinosaurs.
In taxonomy (the system of biological classification), monkeys (Simiiformes) are an infraorder of the order of primates (Primates). Apes (Hominoidea) in turn are a superfamily within the Simiiformes. It's an "every thumb is a finger, but not every finger is a thumb" situation.
How the fuck did I not only create this abomination of a typo, but also not see it? xD
Technically, they don't photosynthesize. At least not this partitpart of the plant.
Etymologically, it derives in some way from the Norse-Germanic war god Tyr (akin to French "mardi", "day of mars", ig).
All the more reason to reduce productivity. Flatten the curve, lower expectations. Tuesday is the scab of weekdays. The other days need to strike.
Okay, so I know this might be a bit hyperspecific, but I don't know where else to ask it. I'm working through a microbiology lecture, and the professor says the the B strain of E. coli has a tRNA suppressor that allows it to transcribe phage genes that have any nonsense mutation. That seemed a bit vague, so I decided to look it up. But the only thing I can find that's even remotely similar is that that strain doesn't express T7 RNA polymerase, which doesn't seem terribly helpful. Is there anything like this in that particular strain? It seems like a load of bs to me that a bacterium should just be able to ignore any stop codon.
Edit: My prof might have been referring specifically to an amber mutation. So, just one stop codon. Seems my resources are just poorly worded.
One if my players wants to make a character that's all about beig a master chef. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to do that. He found a custom cook class online, but it's very convoluted and not beginner (which we all are) friendly. Now we're thinking how we could just take a normal magical class and (quite literally) flavor its abilities (having verbal components food-related maybe replace certain material components with, like, truffles and caviar or whatever).
I'd also be open to give him one or two fitting special abilities that could be useful under certain conditions, as long as it's still balanced, or use feets or something. Does anybody have ideas and suggestions?
