It’s still kind of cool that the seafloor is full of extra-large, super-fertile momma lobsters. They truly are doing God’s Work (i.e. making delicious lobsters for me to eat). Even if they’re only 40 years old or so.
Strange. Sounds like my local bar on Friday night.
Florida Man compares local population.
Me, ultra pasty northerner: checks out.
I’d love to see if we can turn off the self destruct mechanism for octopus’s in the lap to see just how ultra smart they could become. Could you imagine… full on sentience?
This is disturbing.
How odd. Somebody should make a video game out of this!
or a movie…
Science to revolutionize semiconductors using graphene?
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-06604-4
Directed placement of solution-based nanomaterials at predefined locations with nanoscale precision limits bottom-up integration in semiconductor process technology. We report a method for electric-field-assisted placement of nanomaterials from solution by means of large-scale graphene layers featuring nanoscale deposition sites. The structured graphene layers are prepared via either transfer or synthesis on standard substrates, and then are removed once nanomaterial deposition is completed, yielding material assemblies with nanoscale resolution that cover surface areas >1 mm2. In order to demonstrate the broad applicability, we have assembled representative zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional semiconductors at predefined substrate locations and integrated them into nanoelectronic devices. Ultimately, this method opens a route to bottom-up integration of nanomaterials for industry-scale applications.
Trump really needs to gut the CDC and Department of Agriculture, as warnings like these are clear signs of socialism run rampant.

Short of a law, nothing will stop people from over-using antibiotics, because they don’t pay for the negative externality of antibiotic-resistant germs. The free market can not prevail here.
Evolution ultimately will.
I come to this thread to be encouraged!
“Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die?”
Exactly what is awesome about this?
They didn’t answer the question posed, so I’ll go for it:
I’m expecting that the shotgun approach used by traditional antibacterials will disappear in favor of customized viruses to attack bacterial infections, similar to what’s being done with cancer:
It’s pretty awesome for the bacteria not to be genocided. What are you, species-ist?
You seem like a positive fellow. You should read Blindsight by Peter Watts if you haven’t already. It will cheer you up even more. :)
