According to Deshevaya et al., 2024 numbers reduced and survival is due to lyophilization.

So they were not growing, but preserved.

Still cool though.

It’s beautiful. :)

I love how you describe action in order for the reader to infer the emotion themselves. I know that’s not revolutionary, but I never recognized it this clearly. I will definitely experiment with that.

Thank you for that insight.

Thanks! I corrected it.

In case anyone was wondering the same: The zinc spark is the release of zinc by the egg upon fertilization. It is called spark because the researchers used a fluorescent probe for detection. There is no light emitted upon conception if the probe is not present. The exact reason for the release of zinc is still unknown.

The authors show that stabilizing the microtubules network with epothilone B delays the onset of unconsciousness in rats under isoflurane anesthesia by one minute.

This suggests that a normal microtubules network is required for normal neuronal function. This is expected, considering the microtubules network is essential for cell shape and intercellular transport, among other things.

Taking this as evidence or even concluding that quantum microtubules vibrations are responsible for consciousness is a very big stretch.

I’m also unclear why this would be specific to neurons or higher animals for that matter. Virtually every eukaryotic cells has microtubules.

tl;dr: me no likey.

Answers made in lemmy don’t seem to make it back to mastodon however. I assumed the whole conversation gets mirrored. Just something to be aware of I guess.

Mastodon post

I’m glad to hear you like it that much :).

Whant to share your pondering? What does it mean to you?

Ah I see your point. All I know about haikus is from this source.

After highlighting the most important characteristics of a haiku it states:

[…] form is not nearly as important as the other strategies I’ve covered. Form, in fact, is the most misunderstood aspect of haiku.

Since most english haikus I come across do not adhere to the strict format I assume it’s true.

Initially I stuck to the pure 5/7/5 format and that was fun, but after some experimentation I appreciated the greater flexibility which allows for a better rhythm.

What makes you say that?

Somebody watched the whole video ^^

I wasn’t aware that gas is so much worse. Thanks, I learned something :). Regarding induction, I suppose it only makes sense when you have a high-powered three-phase one.

If you have a gas or induction stove you could consider buying a regular kettle. Without electric components they can easily outlast you.

Edit: thanks for letting me know! I fixed the typo.

In the middle of this post is an example with the link to the actual postmade from Mastodon.

It works when you post with your Mastodon account and mention the community.

But this comment is in Mastodon, right?

Edit: yes

Do comments appear in Mastodon?

Edit: No

I totally agree.

Interesting that that’s your takeaway. It’s definitely one of the overarching themes in my poetry right now.
