https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Cavendish
>He was a shy man who was uncomfortable in society and avoided it when he could. He could speak to only one person at a time, and only if the person were known to him and male.[33] He conversed little, always dressed in an old-fashioned suit, and developed no known deep personal attachments outside his family. Cavendish was taciturn and solitary and regarded by many as eccentric. He communicated with his female servants only by notes. By one account, Cavendish had a back staircase added to his house to avoid encountering his housekeeper, because he was especially shy of women.

Both of these girls are hapas, girl on the left is the result of an egg donor and the one on the right is possibly the result of a sperm donor. Both are competing in the olympics (left for the US, right for China) wich is why I know about them, but despite being mutts they look almost fully white, how does this work?

Because there's no way she would pass as white among whites.

>>14236119 the program that does the sequencing has specific sections of the viral genome that differ from non-covid viruses and other species and scans for those sections first
that being said I would not be at all surprised to learn that the government decided to run a copy of your genome as well while they were at it

>>14236722 Do you want a pragmatic approach? Because THEORETICALLY it should boil down to biology/genetics.
In practice, I suppose you have to dig into her past, and maybe talk to someone who really knows her (maybe an ex). Apart from very obvious cases (e.g. if a woman is very promiscuous or if she gave it to you very easily), I think it's hard to tell on factors such as personality and whatnot.

Do you frequently go to the dentist?

>>14236933 >they're scummy pieces of shit who will try to convince you to remove or permanently maim perfectly good teeth just for some extra profit. In what shithole of a coutry do you live that you have your dentist trying to remove perfectly healthy teeth?
I have never experienced this, one time there was a suspected cavity in a kind of hard to reach and see place so I got a quick xray which confirmed that indeed there was a cavity, I did not know about it, I didn't feel anything wrong and if had left it until I FELT it, it would developed into a much more serious and expensive problem. The whole procedure filling it took minutes and cost me very small amount of money. Retards who say only go to dentist when you feel it probably have lost half their teeth to rot and decay.

>I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree. Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.
