I dug my dads old laptop out of a drawer when I was over his house and revived it with some Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, it has SLi Nvidia GT 755M gpus and requires the 390 Nvidia driver which only works up to 22.04, it is absolutely amazing that I could get the latest version of blender in Vulkan with both GPUs rendering in 2025 on hardware from 2013.

Brazilโs antitrust regulator, CADE, on Sept. 30 decided to suspend the Amazon soy moratorium from Jan. 1, 2026.
Depending on the probeโs course of action, this could dismantle one of the nationโs most important private sector pacts credited with slowing deforestation of the tropical rainforest for soy plantations.

Heliozoans are a group of amoeboid protists found commonly in both fresh and saltwater. They were termed sun-animalcules due to their spherical shape and distinctive radiating microtubules, which support axiopods used to capture food and facilitate movement. Some will also capture symbiotic algal cells which provide energy through photosynthesis. Heliozoa is "polyphyletic", meaning it is an artificial grouping of multiple taxonomic lines.

okay i have to ask this. it has been driving me mad for so long now.
why is pizza in the UK so ridiculously expensive?
"pepperoni feast" at pizza hut UK (pickup): ยฃ20.99 (~A$42.50)
"pepperoni" at dominos australia (pickup): A$8 (~ยฃ4)
what could possibly cause this?? if you bought a pizza from dominos AU and shipped it internationally it'd probably cost about the same!
somebody will, of course, reply to tell me "ah, but there's coupons, you can get it for half price if you blah blah". sure. i accept that. however. that also exists in australia!! "you could get it for only ยฃ12" but you could get the aus one for only $4! (not factorial)
what is happening??? are the italians imposing a 300% pizza tariff on the UK as punishment for putting corn on pizza? is it thatcher's fault? is this why detective halligan has a pitzer tab? help

Neurons and particularly their synapses are so dependent on ATP produced by mitochondria that the mislocalization of the latter has strong implications for neural diseases:
"Identifying and targeting abnormal mitochondrial localization associated with psychoses", Haghighi et al. 2025 (Anne Carpenter's lab).

Interestingly, mitochondrial mislocalization within the cell occurs not just in neurons but in all cells, hence this study focused on skin cells (!). Much easier to sample and study.
