The survivor one was the best.

I took every history course this professor taught even though I was a science major.

Most of my college professors had very little impact on my life. His classes fundementally changed how I understand the world to this day.

Tunis, Tunisia. The old town was something else.

Two lawyers got in a pissing contest on developing the land they owned.

My great-grandfather apparently had a story about it. It involved lots of booze, a prostitute, and a horse. Then again most of his stories had the same theme so the truthfulness of the story is up for debate.

Missoula is a bit odd on a few things. I attended Hellgate elementary - yes that’s the name of the school.

This is why I have learned to immediately max out the RAM on the motherboard for my wife when I replace her machine.

Some of these webpages are absolutely stupid in how much they load. She likes to have 40 or 50 tabs open all the time.

Her current desktop has 64gb

I went to a very small public university campus that a few years before was associated with a massive state university. They were still mostly independent but we’re getting all sorts of pressure to conform to the larger universities policies on research etc. At my school the professors all taught and did little to no research.

As part of their ongoing arguments they had all juniors/seniors in both schools take a standardize tests at the end of their core degree courses for a year. My tiny university averaged 90th percentile. The large university averaged 30th percentile. The difference having highly qualified dedicated teachers.

Farmers are price-takers not price-makers. The prices they receive are driven by speculation on the commodities markets (even for crops not traded on the market).

Since they can’t control the price they receive for their crop, they are very sensitive to any change in the cost of inputs. Determining how much to spent on inputs is the part of their profitablity they can control. So widespread behavioral change is usually pretty close to immediate.

Farmers almost uniformly over-apply N fertilizer. Having it be more expensive and forcing them to look into more efficient ways of applying fertilizer and managing nutrients is not a bad thing.

How can you not mention the awesome studies on bullshit.

Conservatives fall for bullshit.

Just to preface, I am a plant breeder/geneticist with extensive experience in interspecific crosses in multiple species - all practical. This discussion should definitely be finished over some a few drinks.

Out-breeding depression primarily results in a decrease of fertility and infant mortality. So although it is occasionally observed in surviving offspring, in general it is much lower probability.

Also the neandertal crossing was deleterious it would be much lower percentage in modern humans. It also would not have come from multiple crossing events.

Usually these issues are caused by mitochondrial DNA not nuclear DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is only passed on from the female. So if there is an incompatibility, it’s usually completely lethal to any offspring.

So a HMNF coupling could not have been possible because of the neanderthal’s female mitochondrial DNA.

If I had to guess the successful crosses were potentially much healthier than either parent line. Heterosis (hybrid vigor) would likely be pretty extreme in genetic lines that has been isolated by 300,000+ years of time. Of course the degree of fertility was likely lowered due to genetic distance. Once the initial cross was made however, back-crossing to either species by the hybrid would likely be much easier.

Many of those ancient stories about individuals with super strength and size etc could have likely been based upon these crosses.

The evidence is showing neadertals never truly died out. Their smaller population bred back into the modern humans who came later.

There is a few different potential reasons as well as sexual preference.

Genetic incompatibility - the interspecific cross could only occur one way.

Genetic bottlenecks in the neandertal lineage. A high inbred coefficient could have decreased the neandertal females overall fertility (high deleterious alleles load). This could also cause a rapid reduction in the percentage of neandertal DNA in a mixed population.

Maternal behavior - Neandertals females might not have cared for hybrid offspring appropriately. This could be for anything from milk production requirements to differences in physiological developmental rates.

It’s normal to cite your own work if the new paper is a continuation of that research. A references or three is normal and expected.

When somebody publishes a bullshit paper that is eventually withdrawn, every subsequent paper citing the fraudulent work can also be withdrawn as being unreliable.

A sign it’s all bullshit is when you see the majority of the citations for the paper from the same author. This usually doesn’t pass peer review anymore. In hyperspecialized fields with few researchers, they commonly get a little creative on the introduction section to include other authors.

What usually happens is some nepo-baby manager gets into an argument with the critical experienced employee. The employee gets “downsized” and his job is outsourced to a 3rd party.

Then they make it through a year without a major issue and the nepo-baby is promoted. 3 months later the completely avoidable catastrophe occurs and the nepo-baby claims “that didn’t happen on under my direction”. More scapegoats are laid-off or fired.

Potatos are very destructive to the soil.

They have to be dug up (lots of cultivation). This breaks up the soil structure causing all sorts of issues with porosity, nutrient and organic material loss.

Because of the diseases and pest that attack the growing tubers, growers use fumigants/biofumigants. These are indescriminate killers that wipe out all sorts of insects, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria.

Potatoes leave very little organic residue behind when the tubers are harvested.

Any crop that follows potatoes suffers from a “yield drag” for 2-3 years as the soil recovers.

Out of the all starchy foods we eat, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the worst for the soil.

I find that a string of swear words works wonders for many sites when they want to be all picky. Add in a random symbol/number and presto a “Secure” password.

CutePDF was the best.

Started out with it in XP.

Computerized clothing.

If you don’t pay your subscription your back will display ads. Hell even if you pay your subscription it will just be less ads. The ads of course will be targeted based upon the biometric readings the smart clothing collects.

Its a fucking stupid and manipulative question for the employer to ask. No employer should give a fuck if somebody took a couple years to travel, take care of family, or just couldn’t find a job.

What they are really asking "Are any of the time gaps in your job history, a job that you got fired from with cause? "

Instead of being little shits about it just ask the actual question straight out. The shock value of asking a real non-bullshit questions in an interview has paid off many times for me when hiring.
