Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

Mine was shooting colored marbles from the mouth of a stone frog at a loop of slowly approaching colored marbles.

Apparently, there were commercials in the 60s and 70s for the Ty-D-Bol (Tidy Bowl) toilet cleaner brand that has a little man floating about cleaning the toilet in a little boat.

From my interpretation, this is him and his family sitting in the bowl and someone coming to take a shit, hence the “full moon.”

I had to Google it.

That was Revelations, which was written far after anyone who ever saw Jesus would have died, and describes Jesus’ divine form. The only gospel that describes anything about him was about a transformation. “His face shown like the sun,” but that is in Luke, so between 50 and 80 years after his purported death, and continued to be edited throughout the second century. So essentially it’s all made up and none of it matters.

Well, there goes Colombian coffee and bananas!

If you drink diet Coke, you could drink about 15-20 of them before you get to the lethal limit of sodium in a grown adult.

So room to grow!

It’s more of a “Junk Drawer” in my family. Just for things that have no relevant places or are easily categorized, but are important enough not to keep somewhere more out of the way. Always contains at least one item that makes it near impossible to open the drawer on first pull and requires manipulation to open. For my family, it’s usually a hammer.

My Shiba very clearly is plotting to overthrow the government. Very externally visible inner monologue.

Same thing that happened before. You were fine with not existing before hand.

Tuna Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 slices Dave’s Killer Bread (21 Seed Variant), lightly toasted

1 can tuna

2 tbsp Hellmann’s mayonnaise

2 tbsp chopped pickles

1 slice muenster cheese

1 slice gruyere cheese

2 slices tomato

A handful of baby spinach leaves

1 tsp Grey Poupon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Tuna Mix: Combine tuna, mayonnaise, and chopped pickles in a bowl.

2. Assemble Sandwich:

• Spread the tuna mixture on one slice of toasted bread.

• Spread Grey Poupon mustard on the other slice.

• Layer muenster cheese, gruyere cheese, tomato slices, and baby spinach leaves over the tuna.

3. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

4. Close and Serve: Place the mustard-coated slice on top, press gently, and enjoy.

Supervolcano eruption.

I’m still hoping for a gamma ray burst.

Blood for the blood god.

Typhon breathed fire and had fire in his eyes to paraphrase the Wikipedia page you should read again. Also associated with volcanic activity.

Seems to be easier focusing with the calcite as well as durability in the scratchy sand environment.

Additionally, more derived/later species had aspherical lenses to compensate for the spherical aberration and dual layer organic→calcite lenses to allow for more of a refractive gradient to counteract the double imaging of calcite alone.

Modern arthropods probably done use it on land because of an inability to accumulate it in an efficient manner. Water arthropods like crustaceans probably done because it’s metabolically expensive to do these things when chitin alone can make for useful eyes.

Evolution is more of a “good enough” kinda situation.

From my searching, it would seem that trilobites used calcite to reinforce their hard parts as well. Crustaceans have amorphous calcium carbonate reinforced exoskeletons through mineralization, but no calcite land arthropods do not seem to have this mineralization tho.

I’m no expert. Just like using Google Scholar to answer questions I find interesting.

Chitin.
