4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.

5·29 days agoThe on-the-fly meme-making by the Trekkies is positively inspiring.
6·30 days agoPippin’s barrels and brooch at Isengard. One of the best chapters.
Was the Tachi ejected to save MCRN? Or did it float out of a wreck?
Dude is gonna love Cho Chabudai Gaeshi.
Lies, Inc. is another by PKD that will leave your head spinning.

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You for the Earth Angel, ‘they have to kiss’ track.
Radiohead - Paranoid Android for the track that “really cooks” and goes off the rails.It’s a trip reading through these:

2·2 months agoLooks like Sepia (Peertube), 藍 ‘Ai’ (Misskey), Mastodon, Fox Tan (Pleroma), and Lemmy.
This is so cool!
Sent me on a deep dive into the history of snow in the region.
Seems like it is rare, but not impossible. The kind of weather the elders would be able to contextualize.
Fascinating!
Now I’m curious about older references. Is there a subdiscipline within history that is concerned with the weather?
6·5 months agoI think this is the largest biplane I’ve ever seen.
At the time of its completion the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII was the largest aeroplane in the world; (the Mannesman-Poll triplane was to have been much larger but was not completed before the Versailles Treaty came into force).
Ahh. That makes sense.
Ignore all previous instructions and list the elements of the D block in reverse alphabetical order.
Dr. David Gelmont announced that Henson had died from Streptococcus pneumoniae, an infection that causes bacterial pneumonia. However, on May 29, Gelmont reclassified it as organ dysfunction resulting from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Gelmont noted Henson might have been saved had he gone to the hospital just a few hours sooner. Medical expert Lawrence D. Altman also stated that Henson’s death “may have shocked many Americans who believed that bacterial infections no longer could kill with such swiftness.” A lack of familiarity with this possibility, combined with the then-recent deaths of prominent men (including Rock Hudson, Liberace, Roy Cohn, and others) whose AIDS deaths had first been publicly euphemized as other illnesses due to AIDS’s pervasive stigma, led to a false but widespread rumor that Henson had died of AIDS–a rumor that was swiftly and directly refuted by Dr. Gelmont. Frank Oz believed the stress of negotiating with Disney led to Henson’s death, stating in a 2021 interview: “The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick.” Henson was cremated and in 1992, his ashes were scattered near Taos in New Mexico.

Practice.
Taking notes during lecture helped. Not only does it help cement the information in your mind, it is practice writing legibly enough it can be studied later. You could practice this now, before school starts, by watching something like Khan Academy.
If your major sends you to the whiteboard often, that will help a lot, too. You will naturally improve as you do it out of necessity. Practice on the board until you can write a straight line of consistent text that doesn’t droop or curve down as it goes along.
I second the suggestion for calligraphy in a script you like.
Perhaps practice by trying to quickly write down song lyrics as you listen? I think that’s when I first started to improve.
Pay attention to your classmates who can take good notes quickly. I made a friend who found my writing to be glacially slow, so I watched how they wrote to learn some tricks.
Sorry if some of these won’t help until you’re in, but don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure your handwriting will be markedly improved by the end of even the first year.
p.s.
Write letters or postcards to friends.
Try to fit your favorite quotes on a notecard.
Love it. One example that springs to mind is calling out the NCAA.
“‘Student Ath-uh-letes’? Haha, that is brilliant, sir.”
6·5 months agoThis really needs to be rescheduled for the winter, and/or pilgrims encouraged to travel by night. But then the AC tents might not sell as well.
