So i just remembered genome editing is a thing and basically it makes it so you can pick and choose what you want with DNA. So like does that mean in the future or something people are just gonna be able to choose what qualities their baby has like some Build-a-Bear workshop? The thought of that is kinda creepy to have someone pick and choose your qualities to be the way they want you to be
Oh yeah, I remember that case. Interesting in various aspects ;3It could eventually be a possibility, but there are of course ethical concerns with it. If it were to be used on an embryo, the morally good intention is that it would be to reduce the number of children being born with genetic disorders. For example, Downs syndrome is a hereditary genetic disorder linked to a third copy of chromosome 21. Genome editing could have the potential to prevent a child from inheriting it from their mother or father. To the best of my knowledge, there are only three gene-edited children in existence (all born over 2018-19) and the scientist who carried out the procedure is in prison as of late 2019. Look up the scientist He Jiankui if you're interested.
club torttimer must be super weirdI found someone really weird on Club Tortimer again, but based on their spelling, I will assume it was a child. So, maybe it's not that bad this time?
So my dad helped me get the back off of the TV (it needed a 6.5mm socket which I couldn't find anywhere in the garage lol) and I took his high-pressure air sprayer and just sprayed it out as well as I could. I did not see a single bug in there at all.
But ofc when we put the back on again I saw one or two bugs. Where tf are they coming from? No one knows.
So I think I'm gonna go to the store tomorrow. There's a type of gel that you can get which the bugs will eat and bring back to wherever they're nesting. About 4-6 hours after consuming it kills them. I hear it's an effectice method for treating for roaches and ants, and i certainly don't want them spreading in my house so I'm gonna get this all figured out tomorrow.
In the meantime I found an adapter on Amazon that goes from the spade terminals to a coaxial input, so I'm gonna order that so I can plug my NES and SNES into the TV. Playing an 80s console on an 80s tv sounds like a trip.
Relatable, it took forever for me to hit 5 stars cause of that dumb dogI made a bunch of improvements to my island recently, placing fencing and furniture everywhere but in ways that will still look good, and my island still isn’t five stars. Isabelle says “more fencing” so I add more fencing. Then she says “more scenery” so I add more scenery. Just make up your mind, you dog. What do you want from me?!
