    The last research paper I worked on has published at last.

    The process is REALLY slow. I finished all my work on this 3 years ago.

    This one uses a lot of my histology and in-situ hybridization with RNAscope results.

    But no more science for me. Now I build houses and driveways... and rip them apart too! It's a sort of yin-yang thing I've got going here.

    A comedic scene from a new Clouseua story I'm fiddling with...

    I just came up with this, and imagining Peter Sellers delivering the line had me laughing for 5 minutes straight.

    Clouseau, "For you see, the murderer was... the bullet!"

    Guy in room, "The bullet?"

    Clouseau, "Of course, no one would suspect the bullet of firing itself!"

    Woman in room, "But that... that's madness!"

    Last call for Bronycon items up on Ebay!

    I'll be delisting all remaining MLP items Sept 1st to focus entirely on selling my huge stash of collectible magazines, which take up vastly more space than the MLP items. Everything here fits into a single flat box I can pick up with one hand. The magazines... weigh over 700 lbs total. Sooooo, kinda makes sense to deal with those ASAP!

Tonga eruption video! · 9:03pm Jan 15th, 2022

Snippets of video coming out of Tonga after the eruption. A new little island is growing there, and like all babies, it threw a tantrum.

Just the faintest rumbles of the planet dwarf the most destructive weapons of man. Humans still don't comprehend REAL power.

Just the faintest rumbles of the planet dwarf the most destructive weapons of man. Humans still don't comprehend REAL power.

Pale blue dot, kids. All of human civilization is a blink of the eye by cosmic standards, and it could be wiped out even more quickly with nothing we could do about it.

5627763 I am so very well aware of it. There are countless 'rogue planets' zipping across the cosmos. Even if they don't hit our planet, they could disrupt the Oort Cloud and send thousands of comets screaming into the inner Solar System. All it would take is one hit from those thousands. And then there are the QUADRILLIONS of rouge asteroids, which could come from ANY direction, and move so fast we'd have DAYS warning, even assuming we saw them before they hit. Then there are the calderas on Earth slowly simmering. At least half a dozen are still active and brooding and boiling. Any one could explode with little warning and blanket the Earth in ash and dust, creating a mini Ice Age that would shut down food production almost completely.

A Coronal mass Ejection slamming into our planet on the magnitude of the Carrington Event would FRY the electrical grids worldwide and blow out computer and satellite networks IN TOTAL. We can't protect against a CME of that strength and intensity, one so immense it caused early telegraph wires to burst into flames and created magnetic and plasma flux tubes in the atmosphere so powerful that the simple telegraphs suddenly operated WIRELESSLY for the first time, by the natural electrical conductivity induced in the magnetic field lines!

Yes, humans are quite foolish if they think they 'control' anything. The raw power of the universe will, in its own good time, deliver a bitch-slap back to the Stone Age or worse.

And while all of that stuff is at least capable of not happening if we're lucky, the sun entering its red giant phase and swallowing the entire planet whole is inevitable.

5627766 Well, that's at least 500 million years away... by then, I'll have evolved into a Supreme Energy Being like Galactus! :pinkiecrazy:
