For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.

When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.

When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.

At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.

As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.

@pilaraguilarca Me parece que es mucho más complejo. Un niño puede jugar con muñecas y ser cis-hetero, así como lo puede ser una niña q juegue con pistolas y carros. La perspectiva de género no puede cambiar hasta que dejemos de establecer categorías platónicas.

@costilladeva la verdaderisima chingada. Todos tenemos historias dlv; y todos hemos cometido demasiados errores. Yo he pasado por eso. Sólo hay que saber que cuando das, es pq simplemente te nace dar...

[Mark Volin @MarkVolin1]

@costilladeva Entiendo ese sentimiento. Es dlv. Lamento mucho que estés sintiendo eso. Me parece que es importante aprender como dar. Saber que lo que das de verdad es gratuito; y que lo darías sin importar como se desenvuelven las cosas. Pq todos sabemos que las cosas se pueden tornar de...

@isjuustadream Today, in Chiapas, México. I went into a store and saw some people speaking the native language. It sounded magical. They were playing with nipes and having a blast. Although I'm pro universality, diversity is one of a kind.

@TheRealVMelly @hirozhen Why dont you move to russia or a middle eastern country if they are such good countries? Why do you stay in the "devils nest"?

@rgraucrespo @jareyesretana @LatinXChem Hi @rgraucrespo, thanks you and @LatinXChem for the opportunity!

@rgraucrespo @jareyesretana @LatinXChem In the specific case of aminos, we decided 6 rotations would give us a good insight into the behaviour of the system. However, this parameter is easily adjustable and can be changed right before you start running the program

[Mark Volin @MarkVolin1]

@rgraucrespo @jareyesretana @LatinXChem Hi @rgraucrespo, thanks for your question!
Of course the optimal number of rotation depends on the geometry of the molecule. For linear molecules, 2 rotations. For planar, 4 rotations. And for more complicated molecules, you could use more than 6.

@jareyesretana @LatinXChem @LatinXChem I hope you like this colaborative project between @uia_fismat and @Tec_CSF !!! We should be able to get some interesting results pretty soon! #LatinXChem #LatinXChem2021 #LXChemComp

@FCervantesSodi @jareyesretana @LatinXChem Our goal is to study all 20 alpha-aminos. Each calculation requires several hours of computation; so far, we have preformed all calculations for glicine, and should be able to get results pretty soon

I’m hearing a lot of feedback from dead animals that plastic is less delicious than it looks.
