I'm convinced that the self is the most mysterious thing about the universe.
Like, I've done research and studied this, but what confines a person to a specific bodily unit in a specific time?
There really are no good answers.
If I asked /x/, they could probably give me answers, but probably not the ones I'd be looking for.

>>14415541 I think you are failing to give due dilligence to other points of view. I really urge you to consider not believing in this mutual exclusivity between materialism and your soulfuless. You can be your kind of soulful along the materialistic framework that describes things you're not making the effort to, they are not incompatible, they don't need to invalidate each other. Pick and choose what parts of empirical analysis make sense to you and justify rejecting the others that don't, but be dilligent in doing so. If you don't you're weakening your authority to speak for either viewpoint. You can prioritize your own point of view all you want but this is what's required to communicate and make sense with others.

Is it possible to artificially synthesize your own peptides? How difficult and costly would it be?
I heard that you can use in-tact ribosomes in water and supply them with DNA/RNA and dNTPs; does this work, and where would I get those 3 ingredients? I also heard that some people/companies use modified bacteria to produce amino acids. I assume the ribosome method would be easy since you wouldn't have to worry about the amino acids being bound in the right order.

>>14414293 Yes, just make a dna sequence that codes for it, put it in a vector with an expression cassette. Then use that vector construct you made to transform competent e coli. Then extract your protein. This is literally what they do to make insulin instead of crudely extract it from pigs like they used to.

>>14414293 Solid phase peptide synthesis is the easiest but there's a point of diminishing returns the longer the sequence gets. Be mindful you use coupling reagents that are less likely to interrupt the stereochemistry of your amino acids. I think EDC was the cheapest.

Does this stuff even exist?
/x/ think it does but as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t. Someone on /x/ said
>You can synthesize the dicyanin A precursor (2,4-dimethyl-6-ethoxyquinoline) from Paracetamol. Need to add ethyl iodide and silver nitrate - et voila
I’m a smooth-brain when it comes to chemistry so idk if anon is taking the piss or what. So I ask you, does this stuff even exist? If so, could there be any scientific evidence to back the claims that it can help you see auroral planes or some shit?

I know why I don't understand them but it really bugs me when they say science isn't able to explain helicopters.
I know that helicopters are definitely real and they definitely fly, I've seen one in real life. How could they fly if they didn't know everything? What are we missing?

investigating the finer details of things like that isn't very inaccessible any more, so anyone curious enough could go find out.
Helicopters tho? Wtf how would you build an helicopter if you didn't understand most things about the physics that'll allow for it.
Look fine enough and one can go claim we don't really know how a bicycle stays upright if you're willing to be hyperbolic like certain youtube vids I've come across.

>>14414457 Well, you see, the concept of autorotation confuses and enrages the black science man. This is highly problematic because, as we know, black science man knows about science and has an authority over it. Therefore, we say science doesn't understand helicopters.

I'm getting over a cold and I have a lingering cough. I need to not be coughing at work tomorrow. My throat is sore from all the coughing too.
I drank like half a bottle of Delsym but still cough. What can I take that will make me not cough for like 8 hours?

>>14411668 >My throat is sore from all the coughing too. This is your own fault. Stop aggressively coughing up nothing. I bet you're the type of person to violently sniff and snort too, with no regard to the inflammation you are causing.
Coughing is important to keeping your lungs clear. Coughing into a pillow reduces the violence of the act.

Is solar flare hysteria going to be the next current thing? Wouldn't be bad I guess. Honestly, I kind of want a world wide technology shut down. God needs to put us in our place again.

a while back someone posted warnings on a solar bolus anyone save that info?

>>14413516 Solar flares cannot destroy all technology. They can only induce currents in stuff with really, really long wires. The worry is that they could destroy large transformers, which take a long time to replace. So the electrical grid could be down for a long time. But the US is stockpiling transformers and damage can be avoided by shutting down the transformers. However, the global internet is vulnerable. Undersea cables need power for all the fiberoptic repeaters, this means they use long cables. A solar flare could induce large currents which permanently damage the repeaters. As of yet, no method of protecting them from damage has been determined.

Now their plan is nearing completion.

>>14415959 The baby should have a muslin cloth over him/her so people don't have to see a stranger's tits but the baby can still eat. It's a fair compromise. Just because you squeezed a small human from your vagina doesn't mean you don't have to show basic decency and respect anymore. All it is for mothers who do this is a way to gain power over other people and subjecting strangers to their desires. They have the power to do as they please in public and if you object to it, you're baby person who wants babies to starve. My mother did this in the communal spaces of our home in front of my younger siblings and myself when I was 15. So gross.
