If you use Signal on your Android phone, can you link with Molly on another Android device (tablet) without Signal complaining?

Going through customs, in most countries their policies allow them to search, image, or confiscate your phone, but not evilmaid it or rubberhose you. For some travelers, that's their threat model.

There's a deliberate nit in Signal that you can't have it on both an Android phone and a no-sim Android tablet; both take turns trying to seize the role. Apparently Molly can handle both.

This would be more impressive if you could explain how yours is different from all the other existing anonymous group chat sites.

Although the LBK culture continued for several generations after that.

For people who are intending to eventually own the home, the stategy is that in good economic times you can pay down the principal at an accelerated rate, shortening the term of the loan, and in bad times you can fall back to interest only payments. It's a safety margin. Japan in the 1980s had 200 year loans with the same rationale.

They've discovered that eggs from women with certain medical conditions (including stress and poor diet) produce embryos with shorter telomeres, and in middle age the shorter telomeres lead to premature aging and a raft of health problems.

But fortunately “We provide proof-of-concept that DNA resetting can be modulated in embryos where it is deficient, using currently available drugs, to influence telomere length at birth" https://www.adelaide.edu.au/robinson-research-institute/news...

Bouncers at various Boston area science fiction conventions have had to physically remove him from rooms because of where he puts his hands. I've spoken with three staffpeople who have done so on different occasions.

There's a Templar fortress in Lebanon that was occupied by militants a few years ago. 800 years old and still being used for its intended purpose.

There's a famous quote from Harold Dodge: "You can not inspect quality into a product." It has to be designed in from the start.

My father's family raised pigeons for local restaurants in 1930s California. They were cost-competitive with chicken back before the 1950s-60s chicken breeders shifted the dollars-per-pound growth curve.

Franklin held Gosling back from collaborating with Wilkins, which probably would have moved up the discovery of the structure of DNA by a year.

Photo 51 was Gosling's work, which Franklin had looked at briefly in May 1952 and had been ignoring ever since. She never worked on it. Gosling writes: "Rosalind was going to leave, so she suggested that I go down the corridor and give this beautiful structure B pattern, this photo 51, to Maurice." [Wilkins] This was in the context of Gosling returning to Wilkins, who was his original DNA-structure supervisor before Franklin began working with DNA.
