Thank you, I appreciated yours and found the response⦠Together they are even more impressive.
We have a big guy that lives nearby. We see him pretty often considering weāre vampires and Heās nocturnal. I can probably grab a picture if I ever manage to grab my phone before he runs away.
Heck, I know some humans like this, so maybe we arenāt so different after all.
Itās so strange how human being always compare animals to themselves, just to realize that animals are sooooo inferior⦠sigh.
Itās the same thing with those stupid intelligence comparisons - like, saying a dog is about as āintelligentā as a three year old child or such. Yeeeeeah⦠nope. Itās just impossible to compare. Every (well-socialized) dog is superior to a child in terms of social behaviour, but we define intelligence as āhow good can you countā, or āhow fast do you realize that a star-shaped object canāt be forced through a square-shaped holeā - I mean, why on earth should evolution grant this skill to any animal? Itās just of no use at all⦠We humans are just āgeneral-purposeā-beings, in a way - we have an impressively wide range of abilities, but for almost every ability, there is some specialist animal that is far better than us. So, itās a good idea to remain humble when looking at the world around us.
āIntelligence is the ability to adapt to changeā, and in that field, a lot of animals are true geniuses. We have no right to look down on any other being, human or not, just because it is different from us.
And for the poop-eating stuff - it sounds disgusting, but it makes sense. The gut flora is an incredibly important thing, and there are some experiments where it is transferred from a healthy person to a sick one, and there are promising results⦠so, not a bad idea, Mr. koala!
Step 1. Take a 5g sample in for testing.
Step 2. Mix in .09 NaCl at a specific ratio, (I canāt remember)
Step 3. Run it in the stomacher and Aliquot out 45 ml of poop soup into a tube with oil.
Step 4. Send it to be experimented on.
Ask me how I know. Ha
⦠How do you know�
At a crime scene sure, at borders / customs, maybe, maybe not.
If they take a RH thumbprint, theyāre going to compare it to other RH thumbprints. Itād only work in specific circumstances, and only if the person / machine was working off of the assumption of which portion of the record to check against.
Also only works if youāre avoiding a connection to a previous fingerprinting.
For fun.
If I recall correctly one of the last treatments they will try on a patient with recurrent case of C Diff is a Fecal microbiota transplant.
Iāve read a few things that suggest thereās possibly even more related to the fees transplants
Metabolism and even depression I believe seemed to be somehow related
I thought of this recently and I was wondering if you actually got a Titan installed there to test with?
I read a study once (and yes, Iām too lazy to look for it nowā¦) where they bred a population of mice who were not afraid of cats - bad idea for mice, nice idea for science. They kept them alive for some time, and when they were grown up, they transferred their gut microbiome to ānormalā mice - afterwards, those mice lost their natural fear of cats as well. So a possible relation to depression and other things might be plausible⦠there is still a lot of research to be done, but taking good care about your gut flora might be a pretty good idea
Because I prepareā¦
Uhhh kinda like that.
So in the processing lab I donāt work in, they have one nicknamed āBig Berthaā
I mainly make mine in an anaerobic chamber. The smell isnāt really THAT bad. Just chew a piece of peppermint gun.
I also make only research ones, not regular ones.
I donāt know of anyone who has a Titan in their tragus. When @NiamhAstra came to visit the east coast he convinced me to revive the tragus research. He got an old M31 prototype that had been spruced up by Cassox and Amal installed in his tragus.
I originally had an xG3v1 there, then I had it replaced with one of Cassoxās new pellucid double magnets. Then during this visit I had that switched out for what I thought was one of the original xG3v2s that were unlabeled (just said xG3). I was disappointed by the performance yet again. Now 2 months later looking through my stock I just realized that I actually had another xG3v1 put in my ear .
Weellllll. I guess Iām going back to my installer so I can finish this testing once and for all. For Science.
Iām reasonably confident a Titan wonāt be worthwhile (by my standards) in the tragus based on leumas95ās experience with the m31 so far (similar size). The only avenue left for me is a much larger magnet like the xG3v2
I think Iām missing the goal of a ear magnet. Care to cause my next āduhā moment?
it makes magnetic things stick to your ear.
((did ya miss me??))
