Super impressive Gasper! Would have loved to have the same for our Bryozoan back when I worked on their Phototaxis. I think Harald started working with Catmaid when I left the lab but as far as I know not much has come out yet.

    I wonder how this might impact applications for jobs. I assume often an automatic score is generated and if there is a company performing the screening for the hiring entity, this decision could be subject to this ruling

    Dude, while stromatolites are not common today, they are not unheard of. There are still some active ones in Australia, Peru and the Bahamas. Every single thing on this planet can trace a direct line from the first live when it evolved. Thus, everything on this planet has the same age. Even if a fossil could suggest that some organism has not changed much for millions of years, we can not look at the cells and their genetic makeup to infer if other significant changes have occurred not reflected by the fossil remains.

    "unknown prehistoric world" sounds like a major discovery. If the title of the article would have been "stromatolites discovered in remote lagoon from 1 billion years ago" it would not have implied that some new "world" was discovered. If by world we just mean unknown habitats, well voila, everywhere you look there will be unknown prehistoric worlds. Find a fossil of some super known, cosmopolitan species but in a new place, voila, new world yet unknown to men discovered. Idiotic.

    Whats so revolutionary? Stromatolites have been found 3.4 billion years ago from Australia. How is this “unknown prehistoric world”… clickbait is all it is without much content

    Do you also observe this when running the microwave on max power? Usually, when a microwave states its 800 watts but you can adjust it down, it actually only changes the duration that power is supplied. So 400 watts would be 50% of the time the power is supplied at max.

    I know this is serious and after all, I live in one of these red marked shapes but I could not help but notice that the areas with normal water levels look like: Bottom: kids boot leaving a footprint in the snow Above: some fancy pirate shoe Top: a mean parrot

    I spend some time to make a custom insert for Terraforming Mars, I just dislike all those tiny baggies! Everything fits neatly into the box and I just love the boxes for the Gold, Silver and Copper resources. Its so satisfying to align them all inside :D. I also enjoy that the cards are at an angle, makes shuffling unnecessary because you can just pick a card at random. Really happy how these came out.

     

    While Spiel is one, if not the biggest board game convention, local conventions are a great opportunity to check out new games and finding new people

    For those in Spain, Dau Barcelona is at the end of Novemeber, Malagas board game convention starts in two weeks and Madrid is at the begining of December! How about other countries? Please share :)
