  • Basic historical facts.

    Israel has systematically stolen freedom, land, property, life and liberty from the Palestinians. They have committed untold atrocities since the end of WW2.

    In a futile attempt to stop Israel, Palistinians and other Arabs have resorted to acts of terror, murder, and other atrocities.

    Both sides have been funded/supplied as a proxy war between nuclear capable nations.

    In my opinion the timing of this war is very suspicious. The traditional suppliers of the Palestinians are pouring their resources into Ukraine. This has left the Palistinians conveniently weak in resources for a war.

    Yes.

    For a long time identifying bacteria required growing them on different media. If then bacteria didn’t grow on the media, we didn’t know what it was. However for most pathogenic bacterium we did figure out how to culture them.

    Then molecular biology advanced to a level where we can amplify and sequence a single bacterium’s DNA. This has led to a continuous stream of new species discoveries from different environments.

    Finding a new pathogenic bacteria for humans is still a rare discovery.

    The dark green means they are underripe. Many people harvest them early if a frost is coming. When harvested unripe they do not store well and end up rotting out faster (the external shell has not cured).

    It’s better to pick an earlier maturing variety if your season is not long enough for them to mature in. These varieties generally have the precocious yellow gene which makes immature fruit a bright yellow.

    I have a work truck that I beat the hell out of. Go off road and hit 4 wheel drive 3-4 times per week. I haul 1000-1,500 lbs of gear everywhere for around 4 months of the year. I tow daily for 2-3 months of the year and up 1-2 times per month the rest of the time. My cab is full of gear (it’s basically my mobile office).

    Guess what I hop into and drive every chance I get? The small SUV I own. It is much easier to drive, park, go shopping in etc. It takes a lot more more effort to drive the larger vehicles.

    If I could swing it I would turn my 1/2 ton work truck in for one of those new small trucks. Unfortunately the weight that I am moving is too much for them. So I am stuck with the large truck.

    Academia is usually about minutiae, not concepts. Sometimes they get so hyperfocus in small areas that they are completely unable to give a general summary of what they are doing in the bigger picture. To do so would require them to understand things outside of their very narrow field of study.


  • One thing I learned over the years is that there is zero training in being a good manager. Promotions to management are based upon two things: technical expertise or relationships (brown-nosing/nepotism etc.) Having managerial skills is completely unnecessary for the job.

    Very few “managers” take the time to observe, study, and gain the skill set needed when they are in the job. Most end up regurgitating the most recent MBA bullshit fad.
