This could easily be a two-hour-long extended version of "Too Many Cooks" (which is a testament to how well that short parodied this genre).

I was just watching an episode of Mythbusters with my sons and smiling at how genuinely giddy Grant would get when testing one of his brilliant contraptions. Still hard to believe he's gone.

Semi-related: I had a recent collaboration with some entomologists - I built little circuits that read tiny RFID tags attached to the bumblebees they study (one shown here) as the bees come and go. It's like a FasTrak or EZPay tollbooth, but for bugs!

These are so cool! I had no idea about the endoscopy camera application - makes a lot of sense (and surely vastly better than searching through feces...)

Yeah somehow I missed this gesture. Glad to know about it - seems like Apple might have been able to make it more discoverable somehow…

I didn’t know that! Actually it looks like dragging up anywhere on the bottom toolbar brings up the tabs?

I've never been to one of these events, so my knowledge of them is based on their depictions in episodes of "Mr. Bean" and "Wallace and Gromit," which I assumed were satires.

But now I'm questioning that assumption...

Is this a thing? Because someone I don't know just offered me roast beef:

Beautiful work! The prospect of adding drugs or other chemical inputs and measuring the resulting effects on the Hydra's response to flow (as you noted in the Discussion) is particularly exciting. Maybe a tool for aquatic toxicity studies?
