also the olfactory epithelium was the first observed location of adult neuro genesis, which spurred the discovery of the other limbic sites

big scary monsters posted:i started reading the Wizardiad but couldn't get into it at all. i'm always hearing how great Lem is though so I guess that collection probably isn't representative? lem wrote 3 kinds of books: -wacky sci-fi with heavy-handed humor and goofy neologisms that make it a chore to read -hard sci-fi that uses the futuristic setting merely as a backdrop for drama, philosophy and complex psychological scenarios (philip k. dick kind) -philosophical books about future that are closer to academic works than fiction cyberiad belongs to the first kind that i don't really dig but many people do and recommend as those books are easy to get into - i get tired of reading them pretty fast the second kind is where lem absolutely owns and why he stands out among the sci-fi writers. "solaris", "return from the stars", "memoirs found in the bathtub", "the star diaries" belong to this group and you should read them

Chorrax posted:poo poo i didnt see that jon hamm episode. something to look forward to tonight. I loving proselytized that episode to everyone I thought might care. They all appreciated it. There was a vimeo linking floating around with it that lasted for months. blk mrr xmas I think. fake edit: O you don't even have to try that hard, just do "black mirror christmas vimeo" and bam. Also try "gently caress the nsa vimeo". re: Jon Hamm - he's so good, I was so happy when he showed up in the episode. Dramatic and funny and can weave between the two. He's like some sort of The Rock. I lost much affection for mad men in the last season or two, but it wasn't Hamm's fault. He even shows up in unbreakable blow job girl and is funny. Hopefully he'll get back out there soon. Maybe in the next true detective season. Oh poo poo, they should get the rock for that too, Hamm Rock TD Season 3

depending on how you interpret the way dna and its encoding works its either a base-4 encoding system with each pair being one qit or a base-20 system with each 3 pairs being one... uh... 20it with a lot of overlapping (eg UGC is exactly the same 20it as UGU). i lean more towards the latter
