OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Until I was a young I adult, I thought that a general anaesthetic was one that was used all over the country. And a local one was one that was just used where I lived.

If you’re feeling like a failure that never seems to get anything right, remember that you have about 1x10¹¹ cell divisions a day. Meaning that you successfully copy DNA about 100 quintillion times. You make fewer than 1 mistake in a million, and catch 99.9% of those. Good job.
