My dog and I got jumped by raccoons this morning. Now I have to pay at least $1500 to make sure I don't get rabies
Post exposure shots should be covered by nearly every insurance. The preexposure ones are not.

I've done sequencing and the unidentifiable dna is just stuff that didn't map back to the human genome. For old samples, this is because dna doesn't preserve too well and you end up with super short reads that are too small to map. The computer kicks those out as "unidentifiable". So not "new genes" just chaff from poorly preserved material.

Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle

Baking seems like so much more fun

The key is that you're usually not following the recipe as accurately as you think.
Also, burnt out & liquid in means too hot. Calibrate your oven so you're actually baking at the temps the recipe calls for!

More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars
Reply in thread
Thing is, if you need a car you cant afford to not have one. My options are buy a used car or a new car. Used cars are difficult to gauge reliability. And anything less than 5 years old is only ~5k under the price of a new car.
Mf subaru people had the gall to show me 2018 forester with 20k miles on it and be like "$29,000". For reference, a new, 2023 forester with no miles costs $31,000. Insane.
Your choices are currently: buy a reliable used car for the MSRP of a new car and less warranty, buy a very old, unreliable used car for 2x-6x what it was worth 3 years ago, or buy a new car at or above MSRP.
Shits fucked yo.

Scientists propose sweeping new law of nature, expanding on evolution
Evo biologist here. These ideas are not really new to the field of evolution, but they are well laid out (if a little dense) & somewhat codified here.
The paper is an interesting read. Dunno if i agree with all of it yet, but it's good to see the case made for thinking about evolution as a process that spans systems come up again.

What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
Reply in thread
Man i had the opposite experience. Bought some great ones for running and lab work but when i set them at a volume i could hear they were basically just normal headphones and everyone else could hear them too.
Im a skinny dude with no hearing issues, wish they worked better for me.

‘You didn’t just succeed, you Exceled’: Sydney man dubbed the ‘Annihilator’ wins spreadsheet world championship

This is the way. Time yourself by hand. Automate. Use the saved time to automate further. Meet deadlines as if you were doing it by hand. Then during the inevitable crunch time you can miraculously come through. Each quarter, cut about 10% off the time you "need" to do automated tasks, showing constant improvement.
Lastly, always guard source code closely and be aware if coding on company time means they own that code. You can bring up that you think something can be automated, but this is a job they're gonna have to pay you extra for. Show a demo if you need to, but remember that coding automations isn't your job, so don't hand that over for free (payment in social capital depends on your job).

Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models

I have a prius prime! Works perfect for my use case. Everyday driving is full battery with maybe a bit of gas. Big long trips require no extra planning or stops.
Not for everyone, and i figure will last until EVs are nice and developed with better infrastructure up where i live.

about half my clicks on Jerboa or Connect end with errors?

Awesome, thanks.
Do you also know how to get notifications that someone has replied to your post or comment? Ive been having to check manually...

It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.
All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.
Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.

Mushrooms from Oct 2022
Reply in thread
Possibly honey mushrooms. They tend to grow like that on dead or dying wood. They're a parasitic species so will likely keep popping up in the same place and nearby.
There's also a handful of other species that look similar.

Honestly i e yet to hear someone who owns an ioniq5 not love it.
I couldn't pull the trigger on a trade. Not enough range and infrastructure, plus the rate of tech improvement is still pretty quick. I went with a plugin hybrid with the hopes that i can trade it in once evs get a bit more settled.
