Technically that's gel electrophoresis. It's basically a way to sort molecules, mainly nucleic molecules like DNA and RNA. It's a relatively quick and easy way to measure length of chains. The thing on the left is basically a ruler, each stripe corresponds to a different length chain of DNA. The farther away it is from the top, the smaller it is.

Pcr is polymerase chain reaction, which is how nucleic acids are duplicated in bulk in a lab.

You mainly use it to compare stuff like genes and ribosomal rna. Genes don't change too much between strains, and ribosomal RNA is highly conserved (aka barely changes) between species. Basically you have your ruler, some controls +- and then your test sample/s. If your test band lines up with your control band, it's a match. Or its contaminated.

The smeary lanes on the left indicate something might be wrong with the gel or the voltage.

For the love of all things holy, can we stop using mediatek for SOCs? Getting any sort of custom rom running on a mediatek soc is a hellscape.

NCR: spread too thin, no full ability to rebuild, just barely survives, doesn't seem to learn the lessons of their predecessors.

Legion: safer roads at the cost of everything else, extreme misogyny, slavery,

House: ability to rebuild, is only focused on rebuilding the strip, basically a corporation running things

For me it's Skyrim. If need a game to play just to be immersed, it's Skyrim

GIMP is somehow worse than Photoshop and I have no idea why. Inkscape and paint.net exist. Hell Corel paint shop exists.

I saw an ad for it earlier. It's to prevent mouth breathing and snoring. Kinda wack. Just use nasal strips

iirc the money storage aspect of PayPal has to be regulated as a bank.

But then you get buffer overflow and it becomes 10%

Edit: integer overflow not buffer. I should know this.
