Canon Connections: DIS 5x10 - Life, Itself
• This is the series finale of the “Star Trek: Discovery”, the first instalment of what we might consider to be the modern era of Trek....
tRNA suppressor mutation to transcribe nonsense mutations
Okay, so I know this might be a bit hyperspecific, but I don't know where else to ask it. I'm working through a microbiology lecture, and the professor says the the B strain of E. coli has a tRNA suppressor that allows it to transcribe phage genes that have any nonsense mutation. That seemed a bit vague, so I decided to look it...
Wall framing question: stud spacing between openings
I'm framing up a non-load-bearing wall that has two closet doors on it, close together (the king studs for the two openings are 13" apart). Unfortunately, they are aligned such that one of the 16" OC common studs would fall within that gap. In fact, it would only be 1/2" away from the left king stud, so not even anywhere near...
Herbalism text suggestions?
Hey folks! I'm hoping that someone can recommend a book or two on herbalism - preferably ones where the author discussed the terpenes and secondary plant metabolites more than the magickal properties of the plants in question....
We shouldn't have to work 40 hours a week to afford a basic life. We do because our currency is constantly losing value. This is by design.
There's a lot of talk about inflation and its causes. Is it corporate greed? Supply chain issues? One clear base cause of inflation less talked about is having an inflationary currency supply. Any other inflation caused by supply chain issues, corporate greed, lack of market competition, etc is just added on top of that. Fiat...

What can I make out of a Old Pentium D desktop?
Hello homelabbers,...
Install updates from Discover without password ?
Is that possible ?...
How would you lay the floor in this case?
Id do it like this but two people told me other way... Not sure?
What can I use to harden acrylic paints or resin?
Asking because while I see that paint hardeners exist in the USA, there doesn't seem to be anything similar in my country (Brazil)...
How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up?
I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually...
Checking and charging HVAC: Plausible DIY?
I am very much a DIY'er and doing my own HVAC repairs have never been out of the question. Actually, I have rebuilt a couple of systems, less the pressurized parts of the system....
Where is all the water going from climate change?
Now that late spring/early summer is upon us, there's increasingly more headlines about less rain in various places (recent floods notwithstanding). I'm assuming that's because water is evaporating and not returning to those places, but where is it going?...
Do I Need to Watch Discovery To Enjoy SNW?
Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I'm gonna start out by saying that I promise I'm not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I'm fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did...

How does the impact of disposed rubber on the environment compare to plastics?
I assume it would break into smaller particles similar to the formation of microplastics. I hear about the effects of microplastics all the time. Are the effects of disposed rubber on the environment studied as extensively?
Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness?
I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine....
Please explain leverage to me
can someone explain leverage to me as practised by those RE bullshitters finfluencers. I feel their whole spiel is just bullshit but I don't know enough to be sure about it....
In the deep, far future, at the time of the "heat death" of the universe, if I turn on a radio will I get the sound of static or of total silence?
What are some underrated episodes from each series?
Just curious as I want to rewatch some overlooked episodes from each of the series out so far.
Private Equity Firm Bought My Employer
It was majority employee-owned before the acquisition but is now majority owned by private equity firm. The main change I'm noticing is that everyone is being pressured to work uncompensated overtime (we're all on salary here) and requests for training/professional development have been all but eliminated. They also initially...
Inflation is higher than they would like you to believe.
The US government is telling everybody that inflation is 3.4% per year. That is not correct. Try 14.2% and that's about right. Source : gold/usd 1 year simple moving average.
Annotations for *Star Trek: Discovery* 5x10: “Life, Itself” (SPOILERS)
The title was first used in the context of the Progenitors in TNG: “The Chase” when Picard remarked, “[The puzzle] is 4 billion years old. A computer program from a highly advanced civilisation, and it's hidden in the very fabric of life itself.“ In DIS: “Red Directive” the phrase was used in conjunction with saying...
