Absolute killer list of bands. Call of the Mountain has to be in my top 5 best songs ever written.
And I’ve never heard a bad song from Sabaton.
I’ll also add Nightwish to the list for symphonic metal. I tend to favor their older stuff, Dark Chest of Wonder would be a great entry point into them.
Well I’m craving something in this genre but I’m a bit overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. So many titles and yet I’m not sure what to read. Maybe you can help?...
But Rothfuss still owes us the full cast reading of the first few chapters of Doors of Stone. That he set as a fundraiser goal two years ago and promised would be available the following February!
We’ve a gnome wizard in our party who focuses on fire magic. Our last combat involved the DM rolling out small groups of minions each round. They were coming out of an airship and stayed grouped up. You bet your ass that gnome spent 3 turns in a row casting 3 fireballs.
Ask your vet is they are Fear-Free Certified. Vet visits are stressful for cats and Fear-Free training can help vets and vet techs interact with your cat in ways to lower their stress (ie picture on the right).
I feel like you would enjoy Slice and Dice. Similar to dicey dungeon, you are rolling dice, but instead of them being a classic d6, each side of the die is the hero’s abilities. You collect relics and get better heroes as you progress through the run. 8 bucks on Itch.io gets you both the mobile and desktop download. Also has a demo.
The 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to a trio of scientists who worked to discover and develop quantum dots, used in LED lights and TV screens, as well as by surgeons when removing cancer tissue....
Nobel prizes are usually at minimum 20 years after the work was performed. Kariko and Weissman are on the close end of the bell curve, having done much of their RNA injection research in the mid 2000s, with their major breakthrough happening in 2005.
Dems absolutely support progress when in power. A Democrat is the reason your insurance can’t deny you due to a pre-existing conditions. Also, the minimum wage by state tells a stark story. www.epi.org/minimum-wage-tracker/
Fun fact, we are currently on the 38th major revision of the Human Genome (Google GRCh38). In the 20+ years since we completed the project, we’ve been able to design 100s of thousands of kits for genetic testing of human genetic diseases, anything from inherited diseases like Huntington’s to developed diseases, eg, cancer. Within the world of biotech, it’s one of the greatest achievements of all time.

Wastewater-based emidemiology guy here. Thank you for your recognition of the field! I work at a competitor of Biobot, and what I find interesting is the article claiming Biobot data showing a plateau, as our data is showing a significant uptick over the month of August.
On a different note, the majority of funding for WBE and wastewater surveillance comes from state/federal coffers, so please ask your colleagues to write to your representatives and ask for more funding towards WBE.
The mutations in this strain (EG.5) shouldn’t be affecting the rapid-test target. Most kits use both the N -gene and S-gene to account for potential future mutations, and both genes have only small number of point-mutations across those two genes. If you want to waste an afternoon check out outbreak.info and look at the lineage comparison tool.
I’ve had a Bellroy for my Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, but I’ve found that they reduced the quality significantly on the newer ones. My care is scuffed and torn, but I’ve always handled my phone just as gently as before....
Same here. Spigen tough armor and a glass screen protector and lens protector. There’s some dust buildup by the type-c port and speakers, but what case won’t have that?
Hopefully I won’t get crucified for this take, but Dune. I love the Barsoom series, I love Tremors, but Dune did nothing for me. I tried reading it near the end of spring semester in high school, which is arguably a bad time as I was dealing with track semi-final/finals as well as school finals, and after a month of reading less than a page a day, I gave it back to the friend who loaned it to me. That was 12 years ago, though so maybe I should give it another shot.

Pretty stoked about this. I use Excel a lot at work to make processing templates, and use VBA where necessary, but adding python as a 2nd tool to automate processes will be awesome!
