I mostly don’t care about either one of these teams (OAKLAND A’s fan till I die) but I do feel bad for Geddy Lee.

since i'm saturday sports posting, this @scottishrugby.bsky.social vs @usarugby.bsky.social match is men against boys. I am a big supporter of Scotland Rugby, but its making me a bit sad. The "Tier 1 vs Tier 2" rugby nations feels pretty accurate today.

That said, I don't understand the "Farke out" crowd. The players were outclassed at every position. At some level you have to hold the actual players responsible for their performance. I don't think it was a bad plan, just poor play from #LUFC and a gulf in class at pretty much every position.

Paul Orwin @paulmorwin.bsky.social · 1d

worst performance of the year (and I'm including the Arsenal game) for #LUFC. They were passive and slow to the ball, looked like a Carabao Cup match between a PL side and a League One side until the last 10 minutes when Brighton were coasting. hard to watch

I don’t think I have ever been this happy not to be watching a Gopher game. What. Is. Happening…

Well that was a nice one (a little nervy at the end, as #LUFC always do it). So where does Brenden go to get his apology?

I’m not a Warriors fan, but if you haven’t seen it in awhile it is simply incredible to watch Steph Curry play basketball. Gotta respect it

I used the RNA kit from Zymo (Direct-zol) because it gave me very good yields at a relatively low cost? I think on the order of 4-5 bucks per sample.
its a trizol kit with all the columns etc. pretty easy to get good yields from all growth phases etc

Still a couple of formatting things that need fixing (this is a "pre-proof") but our genomes paper is now available online! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Really happy to see it out there, I hope people find it useful/interesting!

Completed genomes from Variovorax provide insight into genome diversification through horizontal gene transfer

Approximately 10% of all bacterial genomes sequenced thus far contain a secondary replicon. This property of bacterial populations vastly increases ge…
