Otanjoubi omedetou! (Since Miruko is Japanese, I thought I’d show off my feeble knowledge of the language.)

My thoughts exactly, especially regarding the synthetic base pairs.

Much less dramatic than being in a coma, but I was so happy to be able to eat food that wasn’t in liquid form after recovering from acute pancreatitis. It was only 60 hours, but man, it sucked.

Sometimes I still come to dumb conclusions. :( But usually they’re like “I can stop after eating two cookies”, “It’s fine if I stay up till 3 tonight”, “I’ll have enough time to do laundry on Sunday”, or “I can read this journal article and understand it fully in like 10 minutes!”

Nah, it’s more that the community limits yeast growth by otherwise consuming nutrients/taking up physical space. At least from what I understand. I’m learning about microbiology, but more from an environmental perspective than a human health one.

Firecat starter!!!
