4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.
Holy shit. TIL.
Wallace ended up buying a William Shatner Star Trek mask from a costume shop for under two dollars. To remove the human element of the mask, Wallace widened the eye holes and got rid of the side-burns and distinctive eyebrows. The mask was then spray-painted, transforming it into the emotionless figure that fans now know so well.

Perhaps. I was thinking in the last 1-2 years. Maybe it was that long ago.
Who was the other famous old country singer who died recently? I want to say he even resembled Kristofferson a bit.
What’s the thing that looks like a tiny mailbox with a skunk on it?
Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You for the Earth Angel, ‘they have to kiss’ track.
Radiohead - Paranoid Android for the track that “really cooks” and goes off the rails.
It’s a trip reading through these:

To the depths of Jupiter, then.
I was just wondering if this was a picture of a history book.

Wouldn’t Jabba being ‘stupid as fuck’ and making erroneous claims about nature be the less convoluted answer here? Bioengineering, canon or not, sounds like the more complicated explanation.
Sarlac that lost the ability to grow ‘roots’ and instead worked out venom and energy storage (fat and muscle) would outcompete and supplant the sarlacs still producing energetically-expensive, overly-complicated stasis bellies.
What happens if they momentarily fail to keep their meals alive, do they starve or become poisoned by the rotting meat? Do they have issues keeping a varied diet alive? How do they maintain a net positive energy balance after producing all that is required to keep organisms alive? Why not stun them and stash them, like wasps and spiders? Why not fatten up like -gestures broadly at all life-. Fat requires very little maintenance.
Could one, in theory, rescue one’s friends were they trapped in a sarlac?
Sounds like an organism that would quickly be out of business were there any competition at all.
edit: How do they handle the waste produced by the meals-in-stasis?
While reading up on The Last Boy Scout, I found this:
Shane Black and Tony Scott both expressed dissatisfaction with the final film, and said in later years how the original script was far better. Scott accused Joel Silver of interfering with the production and swore off working with the producer again. His next film, True Romance, features an unflattering film producer character patterned after Silver.
This is so cool!
Sent me on a deep dive into the history of snow in the region.
Seems like it is rare, but not impossible. The kind of weather the elders would be able to contextualize.
Fascinating!
Now I’m curious about older references. Is there a subdiscipline within history that is concerned with the weather?
Sabo said he was motivated to post the signs because of reports that a Venezuelan gang forced the closure of an apartment complex in Aurora. The City of Aurora and Aurora Police have said the closure was not due to gang activity but rather years of neglect by a landlord now facing charges for neglect of the property.
So not only is he fond of bolting hate lies to city infrastructure, he also claims to be motivated by hate lies from some stupid conspiracy theory. Garbage in, garbage out.
I want to know if he has any connections to the neglectful landlord.
Also, can we focus on that landlord for a moment? Invented a story to blame immigrants because the lack of maintenance needed a cover-up.
Give that property to the tenants; they would take better care of it.
You’ve convinced me.
