Without reading the article, I’ll hazard a guess right here: Is it related to their longer lifespans?
Edit: nope, silenced X chromosome and estrogen, specifically hormone replacement therapy for menopause.
Hmm. Does that “nose” count if the riser is slanted? Maybe I’m just not seeing what I’m expecting, but there is space because the riser isn’t perfectly vertical, now that I’m looking.
Well after the beginning of the age of home electrification, but I’m not sure precisely. I’m renting my current house.
I don’t think any of my stairs have had such an exaggerated ledge of the tread like the picture in this thread. In my previous house (owned, built in 2000 something) it just had a little bump nailed on to the edge, but it was symmetric on both the tread and riser.
Thanks, interesting article.
Paywalled for me
Well, my house has electricity and the stairs do not have that indentation at all. I could take a picture of the steps from the bottom or the top and aside from the wear marks on the treads, you can’t see a difference.
Damn, I don’t follow any meme stuff anywhere but Lemmy. Guess I’m late to the meme party, I kinda hated them for the first couple decades of the 2000s.
These round hay bales are actually illegal.
The cows can’t get a square meal.
Cow and rabbit eggs aren’t fictional, they’re just really small and don’t have hard shells.
Definitely don’t think about the overpopulation of deer, the spread of CWD, the fact that deer are commonly found in corn fields, the US loves corn, and the plants can take up prions from the soil.
That interspecies barrier seems like it’s the only thing between us and a huge disaster.
They respond because they have to do things like inject the genetic material into the organism once it latches on to whatever on the cell surface. That doesn’t occur in the host, it occurs in the virus.
It’s been a while since I took virology, but I feel pretty confident that something occurs in the virus due to an external stimulus.
One of the theories how organisms switched from RNA to DNA is due to viruses. Viruses have a pretty wild range of their genetic diversity. Single strand DNA, double strand DNA, positive sense single strand RNA, negative sense single strand RNA, double strand RNA. We’ve also probably got viruses as a permanent part of our genome from some ancestor species.
I think they’re pretty cool. Also, they do respond to outside stimuli, otherwise they’d be completely inert.
Just learn the math, it’s quite easy. IIRC you just add the reciprocals of the resistors then take the reciprocal of the answer.
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ….

If you were able to answer that question, I think you would solve one of the eternal mysteries of humanity. We seem unable to escape the patterns that we keep repeating millennia after millennia.
Did they put the blocks into place with their economic activity?
The difference is the pyramids exist
almost all of the humans that have ever existed … exist right now
This is wildly untrue. The recent estimation of how many humans have existed is around 100 billion. Half of the total population of humans ever to exist was before the year 0, with the other half since then.
