Pimp boy

Lots of people carry it asymptomatically, which is how it spreads. Its not a moral failing on your end. If you were a carrier already, it may be a sign that your immune system had a downturn for a while. Or you may have contracted one from someone else which was slightly different and your immune system has to update it’s adaptive response to the new variant

Taking the time to learn gimp is worthwhile. Its really powerful once you know how to use it IMO

Check this out. Power to the people.

Tbh I’m here for it. The reboot trilogy is legitimately fantastic and beautifully realised films

Three robust genetics papers using different sequences and genes, each time place it as a sister group to Archosauria:

248 nuclear genes (187,026 nucleotide sites): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3473239/

1145 ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and their variable flanking DNA: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsbl.2012.0331

1,113 single-copy coding genes, robustly indicated that turtles are likely to be a sister group of crocodilians and birds: https://www.nature.com/articles/ng.2615

This level of genetic evidence is an overwhelmingly strong signal, regarding relationships and recent common ancestry to extant species. I would say it is undeniably strong. You cannot possibly get evolutionary convergence over this many genetic loci.

Maybe we’re not talking about the same thing? I was thinking about the diapsid debate, where genetic evidence is overwhelmingly strong in favour for diapsid evolution Mitochondrial DNA evidence: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC24355/ Micro RNA evidence: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21775315/

Tbh a core multi gene ML tree to all other reptiles would prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, maybe someone’s done that already but I haven’t been able to find it.

Origin of life matters to a lot of people I think. RNA vs other self-replicating molecules? Moon-based tidal PCR? Cell formation etc.

I think there are so many new and great ideas in this space but you have to consider how science is funded. Funding bodies and reviewers want incremental research that is safe. This has led to our current situation. Phage therapy has been around for so long but is only in the last 10 years gained creditability and treated as a path to take. Ultimately, antimicrobial resistance is incredibly solvable even at a policy level and definitely across many scientific levels. But it requires more cooperation than farms, pharmacies, hospitals, states and countries can muster.

Genomics makes this answerable though? It’s just a matter of whether DNA is preserved or not in fossils. Genomics is more reliable than comparive anatomy. Comparative genomics can accurately place turtles in animal phylogeny. Sorry if I misunderstood your post. Or am I wrong here?

Oh same here. Great way to put it. Prey is a masterpiece

Billionaires destroying yours’ and your family’s only planet. Your response is to get angry at the messenger like a cuck for the billionaire class who don’t give a shit if you live or die. Cool and normal response

I’d just take a new Fallout game by Obsidian with as many years as they’d need

Oh wow, I love that concept.

You’re not wrong, but I can’t help myself. Just one more mod…

Hasn’t read the article methods but still decided to comment: cOrReLaTiOn dOeSn’t eQuAl cAuSaTiOn

I work in biology and the amount of people who work in the field because they hate maths is… considerable. As others have said, the field is almost entirely quantitative and statistics nowadays, so, lol
