What risk? Worst outcome, Russia stops the war, leaves Ukraine, delivers Putin to the Hague, gets a democratically elected government and re-enters civilized society AND THAN we have to pay them back. We can be pessimistic, in which case that will never happen. Or optimistic, in which case: if we could get all this by just giving Russia back its money, I'd be the first to say pay them!

Outer Wilds. A game that genuinely made me reflect on my place in the universe.

The sperm and the egg would contain different copies of the chromosomes. The cell randomly divides its chromosomes when it becomes an egg or sperm. When they merge, two halves of a genome form a full one again. But some chromosomes would be there as doubles, others would be lost. The effect would be the same as incest. Mutations that would be hidden in a healthy cell would emerge.

No, it is something different. Cloning creates a another being with the exact same DNA. This would allow people, who can't produce viable sperm/egg cells, to reproduce with their partner. First patients would be infertile men and women.

In my experience, a lot of these politics are purely performative. Politicians get elected on the promise of 'reducing regulations' to 'release the economy', without any connection to reality. In office they than have to do something that looks like the thing they fought for. We've seen the same after Brexit. The 'bad and idiotic' EU regulations were dropped and untreated sewage was let into the sea.

That was the ending to the episode where they have to give up the town because of all the garbage and pollution, and just move Springfield a few miles to a new place. But this doesn't feel like it's this. I just can't put my finger on it...

It's even more confusing: Emojis were invented in Japan, which adds another layer of cultural differences. Holding your hands flat against each other is a common sign for prayer in Christianity, but in Japan it is a commen gesture for giving thanks. Hence the "official" meaning: Thank you

Maybe they mean lupus? I think wolfes were already extinct in the 1600s on the British isles.

Principal Skinner and Miss Krababel where in the closet together. And he had a thousand hands, like Vishnu. And they were all busy.
