DrBob , to xkcd in xkcd #217: e to the pi Minus pi (31 Jan 2007)

Oh grad school man. Yes it would. I was also amazed that there would be people sitting at the bar who could read hieroglyphics. And random shit like that.

It looks that way. From a pretty early stage I would guess. Like 4 or 8 cells or something?

Do you get X inactivation with such clean divisions? I thought it was a stochastic process much later in development? This isn’t my area so I’m relying on something like high school biology on this one.

No. The tiny little gonads will be either gray or orange. The gonads may still be a mixture, but each individual cell will be one or the other. So the gamete produced by that cell will have the same DNA of just that cell even though the organ is a mixture.

Park passes and some discounts inside. This story has a few more details. businessinsider.com/disney-firefighters-backed-de…

DrBob , to Men's Liberation in How Stoicism could lie at the root of men’s health issues

The article feels likes it’s missing the mark a bit.

Stoicism is not about repressing emotions or performative masculinity, but rather about examination and self improvement. Steven R Covey is a good example of modern stoicism. You can still feel deeply and act accordingly, but that doesn’t mean that one is reactive and emotionally impulsive.
