It’s one of the oldest dog breeds. Has less DNA in common than the Shiba Inu, but it’s number two last I checked. There’s paper floating around from a university in Hawaii that goes into more detail, but I couldn’t dig it up in a quick search. Will try to find it and reply with it when I have more time later.
Holy crap. Never expected to see this paper online. I used to deliver for them in 1995-6 as a kid. Sorry, not directly related to your post, just caught me off guard.
We’ve got the time dependent polar Schrödinger equation any time we want to pull out a ridiculous looking equation in pre-graduate level physics.
I’d argue the two greatest barriers for the average, non-STEM individual adopting metric in America is the speed limits being in mph and the temperature being in °F. Both are convertible easily enough, but when you constantly have to do so to engage with critical infrastructure or safety (cooking temps, etc.) It provides a barrier against adoption for anyone without the drive to make a concerted effort to use metric.
Been just thinking about one of my favorite SNES era games – Illusion of Gaia. If you’re doing emulation, highly recommend. I’m in the process of picking up a SNES and functioning cart to play it myself for the first time in a decade.
Check out ENV – Some of my favorite lyric-less music. There are a couple of playlists on YouTube with their albums. Firefrost is a good song to start with.
The genre is ARPG – similar titles include Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Titan Quest. Usually two types of people get into them – either people who like very mechanical games that they can sink thousands of hours into or people looking for randomly generated dungeons to blow off steam with. The former gravitate towards Grim Dawn, PoE. The latter more towards Diablo, maybe games like Torchlight.
I’m curious how far that stance goes. I live in an apartment and own a small breed dog. I work from home, so I’m with her all day. Additionally, she gets a minimum one mile walk in the morning regardless of weather or season, and the same after work in the evening. I’ve trained her since she was a puppy to be silent. She doesn’t bark at all, the most noise she makes is some light whining when one of her favorite people come over.
In your opinion, should I not own her? Obviously I think I should, and feel like I’ve done my due diligence to provide exercise, entertainment, and training to give her and my neighbors a high quality of life. But I’m curious if your stance holds in every circumstance.
That’s not what science is, though. Science is about pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. Science isn’t about having a problem and trying to find a solution – that’s engineering, which is informed by science.
