kanzure"fenn's sleep cycles: now in 4bit color!"05:19
kanzureoh boy! can't wait for it to finish loading05:19
fennpure suspense05:20
fenn"i cant wait to see how much time fenn has wasted!"05:20
fenn"While Schmidt was churning out a dissertation over in Oakland, Sergey and Larry were building block castles at Montessori schools. Tech-savvy PhD candidates take note: Those kids at the Waldorf Academy down the street? They might be your bosses someday. I mean, don't worry, you'll be filthy rich. But still."05:34

kanzurei don't know how copy-pasta made it past the "delete it with fire" drones05:36
fennbecause kozuch is an established editor i guess05:36

kanzureso maybe not05:41
fennwell, one thing that sticks out at me is that "Steiner (1861-1925)" was right about the "worldwide racial apocalypse"05:42
fennat least that's a fair way to characterize WWII05:43
kanzure"We had a chorus comprising the entire high school" sounds familiar to me05:47
fennhm. i read "the odyssey", "divine comedy" and "paradise lost" too05:50

splicer_hehe... i actually know the part they cut out... after resigning greenspan talked about how the models didn't work... 07:02
splicer_the best method for predicting the future - according to greenspan afterwards - was knowing what way people thought the economy was going to go.07:04

biohackernoobearlier, kanzure said that using a large-diameter needle wouldn't work for injecting DNA into plant cells, but i just found that it has been done:22:48
biohackernoob"DNA macroinjection employing needles with diameters greater than cell diameter has also been tried. In rye (Secale cereale), a marker gene was macroinjected into the stem below the immature floral meristem, so as to reach the sporogenous tissue (De la Pena et al., 1987) leading to successful production of transgenic plants."22:48
biohackernoob"The first batch of about 3,000 seeds, derived from approximately 70 injected rye inflorescences, produced three seedlings that contained and expressed the kanamycin resistance gene."22:49
Trooemoi.... over 100,000 dead at haiti,......22:49
biohackernoobso low chance of success, but a success nontheless :D22:49
Trooemi'd actually try and help them if i had a lot.........22:55
biohackernoobooo i found another macroinjection example:22:58
biohackernoob"A hand-drawn needle with an inner diameter of approximately 15 microns and an outer diameter of approximately 150 microns"22:59
biohackernooband this experiment was much more successful23:00
biohackernoobo wait, nvm about the same success rate23:00
biohackernoob"Variations in the time of injection, the injection buffer, and the presence of various replicative or integrative components in the transformation vector did not seem to improve the transformation efficiency."23:02
