The namesake of this account, Miss Dr. Sleeveless Ruby herself, passed away suddenly today.
How do you thank a little rat baby creature for your entire adult life?
Rest peacefully, I'll miss you forever
Zelenskyy: "I will continue to bomb Russian Data Centers."
Republicans: "Zelenskyy is attempting to interfere in the US midterms."
Me: What an odd thing to say.
@BillyBlacklight@zeta_globin You ever try to sedate a pig? Pig surgery is often a multi-person job and that’s not to mention the ways we have to protect ourselves from diseases pigs catch/carry. Not to mention housing them
They’re closer to us and would be great models otherwise. But they’re so smart too :(
@CleverFool5@zeta_globin Monkeys are EXPENSIVE and difficult to work with (broadly/generally speaking). The behavior, the diseases they can catch and/or carry, the cost factor…all impractical for the majority of academic research labs. There are always exceptions though, like govt funded institutions
@Zhaoj6317@zeta_globin Not really. The majority of “higher animals” are too expensive to keep in the volume/conditions for effective research. “Lower animals” tend to be non-mammals.
Labs that specialize in certain areas still use them, but mice are the gold standard for everyone else
Crushes are weird when you’re married. I’m just waiting impatiently for it to pass
This person needs to say something give me the ick immediately, I’m in no mood for games
I feel like when I say I'm anti-death penalty, ppl assume I don't think anyone deserves to die. This is false. There are absolutely ppl who deserve death. I simply don't think any government can be trusted with the right to kill.
