  • Scientists solve 200-year-old puzzle of how tobacco plants make nicotine

    Jump

  • Scientists:

    Tobacco plants can be used in biotechnology as platforms for producing vaccines or other pharmaceutical products, but it is plagued by the presence of nicotine which contaminates the products and requires processing to remove it.

    Companies:

    Tomacco!!!

  • If XCOM didn't exist before AI slop, people would assume missing 3 90% shots in a row was due to AI generated code not just how probability works.

    Blame stamina

    With all their empty little bars

    And flailing hands so full of flaws

    Blame stamina, Blame stamina

  • This still refers to this shitty comment:

    Retirement is not an age, it's a financial status.

    I'm not saying you should overthrow the system tomorrow, but those seemingly witty comments that just normalise how messed up the system is just don't help.

    Retirement is not a financial status. Stupid teenagers that listen to right wing podcasts may think such a remark seems smart, but it is stupid and wrong. Retirement is a necessity that stems directly from the fact that people just can't work as well at 90 as they can at 35. It's not a hard concept to grasp and the fact that society makes it hard to stop working after people worked a lifetime but can't go on anymore isn't some wisdom to understand, it's just a neocon's wet dream and should be described and treated as such.

  • If you don't have anything saved, you can't afford to retire at any age.

    But it's not supposed to be that way.

    even the pension system in the UK (or social security in the US) amounts to little more than a sick joke

    BUT IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!

    People usually don't retire because they can but because they have to. Because they can't work anymore. Framing it like retirement based on savings only is just an unchangeable fact of nature is just wrong.

  • Wipeout PS1 Long Box edition

  • how do you add multiple pics on here?

    Just add them to the text in your post.

    But yeah, wipeout was awesome. Redout 1 really scratched that itch, including the music.

  • AI coding tools are quietly atrophying our skills, and aviation figured this out 30 years ago

    Jump

  • If the whole premise of the article is that ai is actually awesome, the foundation of whatever follows is obviously so nonsensical that the rest can't be taken seriously. Why would I keep reading then?

  • Like most of my colleagues and friends, I’m a heavy Claude Code (or insert hyped agent harness of the week) user. These tools are genuinely amazing.

    Lost me there in the first paragraph.

  • 1.4 GW: Huge battery storage at former Grohnde nuclear power plant

    Jump

  • You wish... I recently heard in Germany there was more than a full day worth of electricity usage applied for in battery storage but doesn't get permitted. All the while the federal government pushes subsidised gas plants.

  • TIL that for the average price of a car in the US, you could buy 5 cars in China
