Thanks for the confirmation!

That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.

It's a different isotope, so different number of neutrons. If the proton number would be different, it would be another element altogether, since the proton number defines what element it is.

Could you provide a link to the original artist? I would like to read more from them.

Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I'm not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn't do protein crystallography, only organometallics.

Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.

And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.

They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.

I mean it's not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?

Well, I'm not a linguist, but I would guess because most sentences are about nouns, so recognizing who is doing what easier might be a reason.

But honestly, you are already on the wrong track if you ask for reasoning in a language. That shit is completely man made, so we could make it logical. But nooohoo, every language has so many exceptions to their rules.

Because in the German language all nouns are capitalized.

Or was that a joke on children and capitalism?

I'm trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?

Thanks for explaining your reasoning, I see it different than you.

Especially your comment regarding the LLM is where our beliefs differ: an LLM is the software plus the hardware, so in my opinion for sure if there ever is a "real" conscious AI, we know what it is made out of and that it's the collection of programs that run on the hardware (we might never understand why that lead to consciousness, but it isn't more than what was put in). So whatever that AI is, is defined by those two things. Same as we humans are defined by our nerve system and brain. Take parts of it away and it changes the whole (=brain damage, trauma, drugs, etc.).

Especially drugs and their influence on our minds are a big reason why I'm strongly in the "it's all physical" camp. Taking drugs changes the minds of people while those drugs are in the system. That people feel their thinking change, is proof for me, that it's all physical, since it can be influenced by physical means, e.g. drugs.

Now we both stated our beliefs, but I don't think we will get a real answer in the close future and I don't think we will convince the other person, so thanks again for explaining your reasoning.

You need a cool area (around 10°C) to store the sauerkraut, so if you don't have that, putting it in the fridge is also a possibility. And 99% of the time the container is sealed with a water ring, or mold could start growing. Therefore the smell (what I think you mean is the problem with shared apartment) isn't there all the time, only when you cook it and open the container.... which are the same times as when you use bought sauerkraut.

Mixing in a bit of fresh sauerkraut into the cooked one also helps giving it back a bit of texture.

And you can eat raw sauerkraut, no cooking needed at all. This would give you the most bacteria for your guts.

And I highly recommend making your own sauerkraut. You can spice it to your liking and stored in a cool area it keeps over the whole winter.

Bei deinen Worten musste ich an Disco Elysium denken, wo es folgendermaßen zusammengefasst wurde :

Congrats – you're sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn't sugar from alcohol, so you're going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing. And it’ll be boring. Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.
