One thing that’s kind of funny to me about this is the 1940s, which has a lot of the ones from modern times…
You were probably taught at some point that we’d never be able to map out the entire human genome due to its complexity. However, in 2003, we documented the first 92%, and in 2022 we documented the remaining 8%.
I could be wrong (and I’d be super interested to hear if this was the case), but… Were we teaching kids about the human genome before we even knew the structure of DNA and before we knew that DNA carried genetic information? I know we knew DNA existed, and it was probably hypothesized that it could play a roll in genetics before the Hershey-Chase experiments in 1952, but I’m not sure whether most schools would talk much about anything resembling the human genome in the 1940s? What would have been in the curriculum then? It’s actually kind of wild how much the scientific landscape has changed since then.
From what I could trace, the 1940s myths were most likely spread around then (a lot were circa 1930s), just perhaps less commonly. I can definitely attest that at least in the scientific literature then, that was a common enough idea to be inaccurate since, so I’d assume that it was taught to students when approaching biology too. If I’m wrong on this though I can remove this from the site
Cool, I’ll have a further look at it tomorrow when I’m home.
Open source is defined differently by different people. Some define it by the code being open to see for the public. Some define it by it’s license. In your case both the code is open and an open source license is used.
blank.docxi added this file by accident how do i delete a file in github
I can see you’re a bit new to it 😁. There is a button with … dots with the option to “delete” the file. Keep in mind that it will stay be retained in the history.
Haha yeah, I ended up figuring out how to delete it but kept the original text because I thought it’d be a good bit. And thanks for the info! Glad to know its like that either way
A color sample, usually for paint or fabric. Those cards at the hardware store with all the paint colors, the books at the carpet store with all the samples of color and texture options, online fabric stores will send you collections of swatches before you buy yardage.
A small sample of a color. Paint stores, for example, have color swatches that are small squares of paper in the colors they offer so you can bring them home and see how they look in the room you’re painting before making a purchase. In this case, it’s a fake nail in the color of the polish so you can see what your hand would look like with a nail that color before buying it.
Frustrating title. It's not the wild boars of Europe, but of (per the article) Germany and Austria. And they actually talk mostly/only about Germany and Bavaria.
Eastern regions of Bavaria. Same goes for mushrooms. Boars shot in that region get tested for contamination. Everywhere else wild game is the best meat.
This is true. Once I moved to the francosphere, I could only perceive colours and preservatives that are present, so there is no reason to tell me about colours and preservatives that are not present.
Thank you. As soon as I went to Google I got distracted and ended up wasting my time on something else. Following internetiquette I’ll regard what you wrote as universal fact and won’t look back on the matter.
At least in germany its prohibited to use them for specific foods. And its not allowed to advertise with things that are required by law. So advertising ‘no colors and preservatives’ wouldn’t be allowed for some products.
