I wonder why they didn’t choose hexagonal tesselation, much more efficient than circular, and the rotating tools would still work.

Started scrolling through the comments wondering, “Where’s Major Kong?”

Came for this. Left satisfied.

We already know prion disease can be transmitted via surgical instruments. The supposition is prion diseases are more common and responsible for more neuro-pathology than we give them credit for. There is no data or evidence—-especially not a study of 8 patients who suffered from an incredibly rare neurodegenerative…

Most people assume the Soviet space shuttles were just a cheap knockoff of the American shuttles because the orbiters look really, really similar. The truth is way more complex, but a simple answer is that’s sort of half right. The Buran’s basic look and shape was, pretty much, taken from the US shuttles, because even…

I'm amused that when confronted with two species, one that is driven to conflict regardless of circumstance, while the other focuses on self-gain. That you determine that the initially thriving selfish mice are the assholes, and not the murdering/suicidal rats.

Some kind of wiring to be sure, but I'm…

"Well Mrs. Simpson [rats] are like people...Some are just jerks."

In Calhoun's heaven, hell was other mice.

Tough to say in regards to people, mice often ARE assholes, but rats in my experience are a lot more social. Maybe for no other reason than they are higher level predators with a very strong bite, so they don't need to be so hostile. Perhaps that is the real translatable lesson. The actually confident human is less of…

And there's no such thing as phlogiston, only the absence of oxygen. Wait, what?
