Nominative determinism

The paper (which is very short) said 500-700nm and referenced an older (1997) paper that reported on a bunch of UV and visual emitting living systems. I looked there but didn't pinpoint an answer. It did mention that the emission doesn't usually have sharp peaks (as the reason they trade spectral resolution for sensitivity). It seems like the emitting molecules are large, so it's probably pretty broad.

Anyway... that made me nice and sleepy.

I want to know at what wavelengths. Did I miss it?

It bugs me that they say 'it's not infrared - it's photons!' (paraphrasing).

Omg you're right. Picard is a user duh. I knew that. Ok Mr Picard, it's your magnetism.

I blame my app fonts or layout for my blunder.

I'll read about elden ring now, pardon the interruption

Whatever this community is about (Star Trek?), I routinely see image preview and start thinking, "wait, what's this about" before seeing the c/ name.

Sounds like a solid move heading into parenthood as a couple.

This is a great post. I'm mid-30s and toying with a career change. If life's good to you, you at least can exhale and review options, but no, generally studying (or practicing, whatever) is not going to be that kind of a wage multiplier, unless you are cherry picking (and/or discounting some serious debt). It can help make your job suck less though. I think probably just as lucrative is always being ready to change employers for a raise. But, I don't have experience with that so I may be talking out my ass there.

Oh god. I've got no carpet so sound moves well through my house despite doors being closed. Hearing something looping because they set their phone down while doing something. Why at such high volume child? After about 5 loops I yell.

Fellow connoisseur, did you happen to ever see the vine beginning with "there's only one race, the human race"?

And there's satisfaction in that damn it
