>Like modern germany could tackle huge engineering projects. This country is going to shit much worse than the US.

So true. A few left that are still salvagable but otherwise ... yet, you see, I wasn't talking specifically "German". Was talking people with the right principles of leadership and tradition. And the will to implement them at whatever costs necessary. ;)

Though once you could do the initial acceleration not by explosive charge but by magnets ... think railgun / ram accelerator hybrid. The Gs would likely still be brutal for a fleshie (but fleshies are not that heavy, send them by rockets) but could be srsly useful for equipment, fuel, etc.

Damn ignorant younglings, srsly ... ^^

>There cant even be a "whoopsie", only a "If you people werent a bitch we could!"

Czeched. Consider going experimental, it is fun. :)

Spukhafte Fernwirkung.

>Who knows...may pop out a theoretical atom, some isotope one day.

Hmm, ambitious. One thing I learned from switching into engineering here ofc ... there's possibility, then there's feasibility and finally practicality. Had my whoopsies here too by now, not only in the lab.

>I've forgotten so many its painful, spoken into the void and forgetten, echoing for all eternity, no matter how drowned out.

Never truly lost ofc. Thing with the big picture, one sometimes loses focus of the fine details.

>>15400866

Czeched btw ...

>You are what you eat.

Nomnom ... :3

>I wouldnt recommend it.

How many times have I said that by now?! :D

>>15400823

>hard to describe

A tiny bit, yes. :D
Can somehow simplify it by describing as a very complex netwörk but that does already create a barrier (which most never overcome) because such a visualization would be static ... and that is clearly not the case here, our netwörk is in permanent motion, vibration, rearrangement. Fluid as I like to call it (but yeah, I am fond of staring into bodies of water). Those of little understanding perceive this as noise I guess, but in fact its motive force is a very beautiful symphony if you got the ears (or eyes) for it.

>new doors are there but require education in anothet field like Physics, Mathematics or Evolution in specificity

Veeery much as I see it! Been there myself, back then still "limited" to biology overall but not with its specialized sub fields (and sub knowledgesets), more interdisciplinary (sadly today a catchy buzzword too).

>What do you do for work?

Did a immunology degree, spent a few years in research afterwards. Ultimately got fed up with it, got a chance and got out. More towards chemistry, got my own engineering company now (and business is finally starting to be gut).

>>15399848

>this did that...and that may be true but can be a "cant see the forest from the trees" perspective

Can't see beyond the bottom of the petri dish as I like to call it, yes.

>which takes a whole "forest" perspective. This is my perspective.

Good! :)
The ability to think in evolution, I mean "actually" think in it (not just do some pop sci delusional atheist perversion of creationism here ... so a perversion of a perversion maybe) is extremely valuable, to not just see the unfolding process but perceive (or at least guess) the driving power and pattern behind it.

>but if youre looking at the whole body, and over time, that damage would be a part of a strengthening process

Very much so. Can think of several mechanisms in the overall process which at first glance are clearly damaging but are instead even required for the prolonged functionality of the organism (and the same does apply in reverse ofc). The "chemists" here as you called them, often too stuck in the mindset of a watchmaker. This narrow view has infected the field quite a bit by now. But one cannot see parts of a biological process in an isolated manner, not even those with clear and pronounced effects ... that would be applicable for a mechanic, and only because the margin of interference for an individual part of the machine is usually rather low (and even that isn't always the case as proven by a number of "freak accidents" with complex machinery).

>and the "era" of Biology based Genetics is here to fill in a lot of gaps that Genetics didnt even see was there

Could be. If so, just a little seed by now. Would need some proper watering. ;)

>>15399169

>Why haven't we instead made experiments on primates since they are genetically the closest to us?

Because "close" isn't even close in terms of a very specific pharmacological reaction, where even individuals of the same species would show wildly different reactions (which we conveniently bury under statistics and marketing talk). Primates would be equally useless as rats but at least rats are much cheaper.

>>15397941

>by sheer necessity

ftfy

>>15399059

That does sound really nice on paper. ;)

>>15397784

>Youre not a Geneticst, are you?...

Doesn't seem to be. ;)
Btw if you're messing with ion channels you're effectively messing with actual gene expression patterns deep downstream. It is all just an ongoing pattern.

>>15398078

Well good luck hitting them without stepping on some genomic landmine like a barely repressed HERV fragment ...

>>15394974

>click click click, ok 1000, cells, etc

Btw at what point in that did you consider suicide an attractive option? Just for comparison's sake ...

>>15394967

>Rather, they are a language to describe how we perceive spacetime.

Jep. And a rather shitty language it is.

>>15393147

Ouchie. Good thing you can easily slip outa these again ... well unless you forgot to bring yours and are wearing that of a female collague which is two numbers too small (did also look really silly).

Set my own hand on fire with ethanol more than once while replating bacteria. That glorious moment when you go all "Ok, appears my glove is burning ..." and just stare at it in amazement for a few seconds straight until your pain receptors kick in. Gets you every time.

>>15392792

Still waiting for a single shred of own thought ... or still looking through a pile of literature for something that might just contradict what I said. Ridiculous. Can't even argue with "your" evidence there, huh. Cognitive equivalent of a limp dick I suppose. Know what, forget it ... better things to do. :)

>>15392694

>This is nonsense.

Oh ya think ... ;)
Btw I am rather inclined to tell you to read a fucking book on the basics of biology there, your insight seems to be, well, mediocre at best ... or at least your weasly little attempt to wiggle out of an actual reply to this is. Won't let that slide, newb.

>>15392665

Not yet but will now, thx! Judging from the abstract for now this is very much one of likely several mechanisms which decrease overall population resilience and promote instability. A colony level stressor (or rather the outward effect of a deeper underlying stressor within the socioeconomic substructure).

>>15391852

>carrying capacity

Irrelevant here. As I said, saturation (which is not nearly achieved yet) would merely provide the stressor to "reveal" the now intrinsic instability of the population. Can easily replace that with any other destabilizing event. Again, Calhoun is misunderstood if the saturation is seen as the CAUSE of the collapse ... all it did was trigger the inevitable.

>"qualitative carrying capacity"

Perhaps a bad designation for what I mean here. Better call it "qualitative load bearing capacity". This primarily acts on the group level, not the individual ... refer to how buildings tend to collapse, the ground floor supports might be fine but if the ones at the top are weak and give in the whole thing comes down as the shifting weight load of the upper failing floors does very well suffice to go over the capacity of the (still intact) ones in the lower.

>It naturally follows that if humans are no longer tied qualitatively to fecundity

Oh but we were until "recently". Plenty enough to leave a strong imprint on the gene pool to this day.

>as you see in transitions from high infant mortality hunter-gatherer societies and primitive agriculture to industrial societies

And what does that change again? Was there even remotely enough time to adapt on a genomic level? Your gene pool is still that of an equilibrium between HG and farmer genetics (btw two different distinct sub clades, this is important to consider here), the fecundity effects under which farmer adaption occured is now most of your population baseline (I do hope you're familiar with the term "Verhausschweinung") ... now along comes industrialization, the stressor in our little utopia here ...

>it stands to reason people aren't blind

Oh ya think ... :D

>>15389506

Bingo. Also what is acute and what is chronic form.

>>15391150

A few surgical strikes would very much suffice here. Sterilize and cauterize. :)
