A chemist out of lab.
Beckmann/Schmidt are sort of editing, but they delete and contract rather than replace, and molecular editing seems to be more about exchange than deletion

The problem is that it's a neat idea and the term is useful...so when a term is useful, there's no such thing as overused to some people. I think "magic methyl" is the more annoying term (because Me can do good and bad and the term is used as if Me can only help).

Sorry.

I think some members of the Cabinet may ask him to reconsider...

1) He looks like he's smiling.
2) Does he detect cat movements in the next house?
November 26, 2025 at 11:05 PM
is the house though? NYC didn't do so great in The Avengers.

semiOT: "Skeletal editing" is beginning to have "escape from flatland" buzzword vibes for me

Yeah, thanks to the NYT Pitchbot, I found out too. I'm really sorry.

Considering their intense history of lying to anyone and everyone, maybe reports of violence and requests for support from ICE should be treated like 911 calls asking to let Prince Albert out unless there is objective evidence otherwise.

Did she accidentally get shocked by a wall socket in the author's presence? There's a lot of US politicians who could stand becoming stars in that way; given three or four hours of free time, I could probably list them all.

There's so many people though. I'd like them all to be on a special pay-per-view episode of Oprah (with the proceeds going to the people kidnapped or otherwise abused by them): "YOU get an orange jumpsuit. YOU get an orange jumpsuit. Everyone gets an orange jumpsuit!"

I didn't think "Love Me or I'll turn your planet into an asteroid field" was in the Bible but...

that was a problem with cat 2 - she got sick and stopped eating and then started again and stopped and we kept trying to figure out what she would eat (and never did).
November 26, 2025 at 2:06 AM
When I got first cat, we gave him soft food but he stopped eating it because he just wanted to lick up the gravy and not eat the food. Eventually he went to dry food and ate it fine.

I think you're not winning the chess match

though its consumption after lab lunches with alcohol caused at least two explosions and one 911 call to the Houston PD SWAT team

reporting on chaos is nonequivalent to being chaotic

TNT stopped being used in shaving fomulations when Bismarck was caught in a dalliance by his wife and the subsequent slap blew off his wife's hand and most of his head, ending his reign.

Romance and danger? Dating Bob sounds like dating the dude on the street corner who wears a tinfoil hat, hasn't showered in a month, says whales cause global warming, and drinks Mad Dog 20/20 mixed with Tang, except that dude didn't actually drive anyone to suicide.

I guess it's better for airline execs than raising pay or improving working schedules so looking for hotties it is.

Which works as long as you sell before people realize your company has no products or candidates and that you fired the people who could find them.

I would think the sports leagues might be interested in that (as well as the casinos themselves) (looks at baseball and basketball in the US)

social media: giving you the opportunity to show the lack of awareness of your limitations and thus to humiliate yourself in front of more people than you ever thought possible
