It’s like a stroll on the beach

Going outside right now is like a sunlit stroll on a warm, sandy beach.

Except it’s dark, and cloudy enough to obscure the waxing gibbous moon, and it’s 31 degrees out, and that’s granular snow, not sand, under my feet, which are wearing boots, not sandals or barefoot.

Other than that, exactly the same.

Choose wisely

You’re all seen Google Ads on the side of various web pages. This is what I saw today:

CUSTOM GENE SYNTHESIS
5 free DNA sequencing reactions with every synthetic gene order

If you see something strange as you’re walking around, perhaps this is the reason. It could be that someone did not choose wisely.
