  • UK houses' insulation is generally garbage when considering the climate they get. As a Finn I'm used to outside being cold and inside being warm, but that doesn't happen if your house is so drafty the wind howls on the inside corners of the house.

  • That hiding candy (or other things people wanted) was a universal property of grandmothers.

    English is not my first language, but I had heard the expression "search all nooks and crannies", but thought the last word was grannies - cranny is an unusual word.

    Now,my own grandmother was in the habit of hiding candy for us to find. I thought the expression existed because all grannies hid things. Search all nooks and grannies!

  • That's why you introduce the marker (like resistance to a common antibiotic ) in the same strand, then put antibiotic in the bathtub to kill the rest. Of course its a good idea to wash the tank first...

  • As I understand the process is fairly straightforward - yeast picks up dna from the environment, so the process involves creating a dna strain which includes both the intended change and a marker change, like resistance to something that would normally kill the yeast. Then introduce the dna to the yeast and introduce the poison which will kill the yeast that didn't pick up the dna.

    Anyway, that's what I seem to remember from synth bio course from years ago, I might have misunderstood tho.

  • I have actually wondered why this isn't a thing. You can order a yeast 2.0 sample from a supplier and the relevant DNA strand from a DNA printing company, multiply the DNA and introduce it to the yeast and you're game.
