I know why they called it Scratch : The usual questions were answered satisfactorily: but this time Hugh added one of his own invention—"Does the cat scratch?" The landlady looked round suspiciously, as if to make sure the cat was not listening, "I will not deceive you, gentlemen," she said. "It do scratch, but not without you pulls its whiskers! It'll never do it," she repeated slowly, with a visible effort to recall the exact words of some written agreement between herself and the cat, "without you pulls its whiskers!" "Much may be excused in a cat so treated," said Balbus, as they left the house and crossed to Number Seventy-three, leaving the landlady curtseying on the doorstep, and still murmuring to herself her parting words, as if they were a form of blessing, "—— not without you pulls its whiskers!"

Someone in the comments said "Now do Ivermectin ". I think they meant "Now do a video on Ivermectin". That might not be good for her YouTube channel. Upsets the worms, you know: Ivermectin and its related drugs act by interfering with the nerve and muscle functions of helminths and insects. The drug binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels common to invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. The binding pushes the channels open, which increases the flow of chloride ions and hyper-polarizes the cell membranes, paralyzing and killing the invertebrate. Subscribe to Sabine Hossenfelder .

There's a tendency in some parts of the alt media to think that because the US and or UK governments interfere in some country somewhere that that country's government is sound. That's not necessarily the case. Very few governments are sound. What is amazing is how poor a state a country can get into and still have its natural resources exploited by foreign interests. Think about Libya which is still making huge profits for the oil companies that are able to work there (with the help of Private Military Contractors providing "security") Subscribe to Dangerous Ideas With Lee Camp .

I just caught the end of his speech, and it was very good. He summed on a positive note, saying that he believes that agreeing to the US extradition request without the explicitly requested assurance that Julian Assange would have the same first-amendment rights as a US citizen would be a travesty that no court could support and so they will have to turn it down and free him. [Update: the decision was to allow leave to appeal to the Supreme Court. Why on earth they can't allow him more humane treatment in the mean-time is beyond me.

L-Serine is classed as a non-essential  proteinogenic amino acid , because under "normal physiological conditions" the body can synthesise it from other metabolites, including glycine. But in some circumstances this synthesis is insufficient [see L-Serine: a Naturally-Occurring Amino Acid with Therapeutic Potential ]. β-Methylamino-L-alanine ( BMAA ), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, is a neurotoxin produced by cyanobacteria and has been implicated in some neuro-degenerative diseases: See Brain Chemistry Labs .

The problem is that the ocean water isn't worth anything to the animals living in it, because they don't have any money to pay for it. Maybe the answer is to give them all Universal Credit or something so that they can get jobs and save up to buy their own water from the mining companies. See  What is Water Worth On the Free Market? From the video description: Glass squids (family Cranchiidae) live in the boundless waters of the twilight, or mesopelagic, zone. With no protective shell and nowhere to shelter, they need to get creative. Transparency is one way to thrive in a home with few places to hide. Like other cephalopods, glass squids are covered in tiny pigment sacs called chromatophores. They often keep their chromatophores closed so their skin is basically see through. This invisibility cloak hides them from both predators and prey. When the glass squid’s cover is blown, they expand their chromatophores to darken their appearance. Some may fill their body cavity with ink...

There is a great bit on the last paragraph on page 75, about Crick's observation that "The great majority of [DNA] sequences can never be synthesized at all, at any time. These calculations take account only of the amino acid sequence. They do not allow for the fact that many sequences would probably not fold up satisfactorily into a stable compact shape. What fraction of all possible sequences would do this is not known, though it is surmised to be fairly small". See also  Lori on Extraterrestrial Life , dated August 2019.

The only thing wrong with that video is the title! Subscribe to  Myra West . Inspired by Japanese archery (Kyudo) and Noh theatre, the film Mushin is a collaboration between the designer and film-maker Graham Wood and Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance. The term Mushin is a Zen expression meaning “the mind without mind” and is also referred to as the state of “no-mindedness”. Mushin is achieved when a person's mind is free from thoughts of anger, fear, or ego during combat or everyday life. That is, a mind not fixed or occupied by thought or emotion and thus open to everything.To give oneself completely to the shooting is the spiritual goal, achieved by perfection of both the spirit and shooting technique leading to munen musō, "no thoughts, no illusions".
