Una nuova ricerca rivela come i rettili “impacchettano e urinano” i rifiuti cristallini

#biologia @scienze

Sia i rettili aviani che quelli non aviani espellono l'azoto in eccesso sotto forma solida, comunemente chiamata “urati”, come adattamento evolutivo che aiuta a conservare l'acqua. Tuttavia, ci sono molte domande aperte riguardo alla composizione, alla struttura e all'assemblaggio di questi materiali biogenici.

The classic Mastodon response to any tech troubles is to say "install Linux".

UN urges restraint after Pakistan-Afghanistan talks collapse in Istanbul


UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations expressed concern on Wednesday over the failure of the Pakistan–Afghanistan talks in Istanbul, urging both sides to avoid renewed hostilities and continue seeking a peaceful resolution. “Yes, it is, of course,” said UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, when asked whether the deadlock after four days of negotiations was a matter of […]




Democrats need to get their heads out of their butts and pass the continuing resolution to fund the government. Stopping paychecks and expecting people to come to work, stopping WIC and SNAP, damaging morale in the military… none of that is going to win them votes.

Here's the alt-text description:

The graphic appears to be advertising something, although the specific product or service is not indicated. The repeated text contributes to a chaotic and somewhat glitchy aesthetic.

what are the benefits of using an online calendar anyways? I've just been using an open source offline one, but I'm kind of intrigued now, because I like Tutamail, so I'm wondering if I should consider Tuta Calendar too.


Ofgem has announced the first phase of its scheme to address the record £4.4bn energy debt that has built up over the cost of living crisis.

Anyone on means-tested benefits, who built up energy debt of more than £100 between April 2022 and March 2024, will be eligible to apply as part of the £500 million debt write off.

Reacting to the announcement, Eva Watkinson, Head of Campaigns at Debt Justice, said:

This scheme will bring much needed relief for thousands of people receiving benefits."

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”

Some disabilities are invisible. Some change day to day

You won’t always know a person is disabled unless they tell you

Oh I wanna say something unpopular. I'm a doctor who watcher. I'm an artist. I did not like the Van Gogh episode ending that so many people praise. I resent the idea that fame is a worthy goal that gives a life meaning. I feel angrily, violently against that idea. Also I think that the episode ending is unsophisticated. But then that's the show, sometimes. That's pop culture. That's tv. Etc. Better to promote that life is worthwhile regardless of recognition, I say. That's just my 2¢.
in reply to Rob 🏳️‍🌈 Rartsy Humanist

That has been stuck in my mind for a while. On the one hand, I would have loved it if Vincent had become utterly obscure, but had a longer, more balanced life in which he created much more work, but I also don't like the idea that their brief interaction with the man '"fixed" all his problems.

Still, that's very much in line with the show, so why not? Yes, the turmoil was part of him, but now the ending suggests that suffering is a requirement for good art.

in reply to Lydia Vvinters

@HeliaXyana LOVE getting to have this exchange with you!

All my attitudes about art seem to ensure my own inability to prosper!

😈: you're not good enough to succeed so you invent principled reasons!

Maybe, but my philosophy is that art is subjective so "good art" is arbitrary. Artificial scarcity & hierarchy ensure most artists starve while assigning undue value to other art. Would I like the famous work more than lesser known contemporaries without the fame? Is better possible?

I've implemented bit-banged 100 Mbit/s Ethernet UDP transmission on the RP2040/RP2350. That is sufficient to transfer the data of the internal ADC overclocked to 5 MSPS and digitize some IF signal...

Here's an alt-text description for the image:

The image shows a white electric space heater on a grey concrete floor against a light grey wall. The heater is a traditional design with vertical metal fins and sits on four small, rolling wheels. A black power cord extends from the back of the heater and plugs into an outlet on the wall. The heater appears to be indoors, likely in a garage or basement, and it is positioned near the wall. The heater is in focus and takes up most of the frame.
