My fault, I genuinely thought wine was an imitation. Honestly I don’t use it much

“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

It IS an emulation. Wine only allows us to run windows applications not windows itselfWrong

I mean you could just not get high while in those countries. This is the route most taken.
The Sudbury Devil. Honestly a fantastic indie film but so weirdly sexual at times that I would seriously hesitate to recommend it to anyone I knew. I watched it with a friend not knowing it would be like that and while we both enjoyed it certain moments were uncomfortable to watch with company
They are not listed masssacres of capitalism now are they. These massacres are viewed as an aberration belonging to a specific nation rather than the economic system behind that nation. These are presented as the “bad policy” of “bad individuals” not a natural expression of capitalism.
They’re the same picture. Why do you see the state and private corporations as entirely seperate entities? Who do you think is buying all that data if they can’t act on it? If it were not useful to them? Flock and Palantir are just a privatization of formerly state run enterprises. They still work together.
As for the vandalism, the purpose of the state is to protect private property. All flock has to do is hand the information of vandals to the state and the state will punish them for destruction of private property.
El Pueblo Unido was common around that time
My partner recently graduated with a horticulture degree and at the time I originally learned this I was a physics major. Photosynthesis was a neat overlap of our fields.
Wish I knew lol
The crazy part is the exact science behind why plants reflect green specifically is still debated. One theory is that, because much of the sun’s energy is released on that wavelength, controlling for it specifically allows the plant to better manage energy fluctuations (highly simplified but you get the idea)
longer explanation and source
Plants are green specifically because the red and blue wavelengths of light are useful for breaking specific chemical bonds necessary for photosynthesis and as such are readily absorbed by the plant. The plant makes efficient use of the energy provided by only absorbing the wavelengths necessary for its processes. However, plants still absorb 90% of green light and green light holds the highest proportion of the energy radiated by the sun.
To be more clear, green light has too much energy. When plants absorb light it first enters a protein mesh containing pigments such as chlorophyll that function like an antenna or receiver for a range of wavelengths. The pigments then transfer the energy to a “reaction center” where it turns this electromagnetic energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis). This process is exceedingly efficient; almost all of the absorbed energy is converted into electrons the plants can use. However, this protein mesh antenna is not solid and is constantly moving. These movements affect how energy is absorbed and how it flows through the pigments. Think of diffraction in water. Fluctuation in the intensity of light can create noise in this process; a quick brush of shade or sudden increase of light intensity can decrease the efficiency of photosynthesis. For plants and really everything that lives, a steady input and output of energy is desirable. Not enough electrons making it to the reaction center causes energy failure while too much will cause general overcharging effects that can damage tissue. When the noise of this system fluctuates it makes it difficult for the plant to self regulate it’s energy flow and could cause the plant to kill it’s own tissue or essentially starve. So essentially, while absorbing all green light would provide the plant with more energy, it’s not capable of handling this energy so plants evolved to limit their intake of green light.
However, this is not to say that green lights ability to efficiently evaporate water is not a factor in this evolutionary development, hell it’s probable that these two things are heavily related. Green light might evaporate water so well because of some combination of its relatively high energy mixed with the size of its wavelength interacting with the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in a more efficient manner than other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

Nothing beautiful about this one though
5·2 months agoGotcha, thank you ❤️
Then why has modelling been so focused on?
Ah, yes I can imagine that being the case
A reliable way to simulate any kind of protein fold. As long as you have a method you could hypothetically “solve” the issue
Wait I thought protein folding was “solved”? Is it just significantly improved or was I lied to?
Do you think it’s a gun that shoots potatos or a gun that shoots potatos?
That’s hilarious, I couldn’t have been more obviously wrong
