Reply to What exactly is going on when a protein (or other molecule) binds with a receptor? by Eat-A-Torus

I've been quite enjoying these very short "nutshell" explanations of all sorts of science topics. They simplify and barely scratch the surface but give you a hint that you can follow up on. All of them are quite fun: Kurzgesagt The Most Complex Language in the Universe https://youtu.be/TYPFenJQciw

Reply to comment by radioactive_dude in A medical isotope made from nuclear weapons waste (Tc-99m) has a six-hour half-life. How do hospitals keep it in stock? by Gwaiian

Wow, thank you. Apparently my ten minute deep dive into nuclear medical isotopes didn't give me all the right info to make assumptions. And as a news junkie I do recall the Chalk River shutdown. Thanks!

Reply to Issue when trying to install drywall anchor- HELP? by togadiz

If you're not screwing into studs you're setting your friend up for a disaster. Sure it might work for a shelf with a stuffy and a framed picture, but eventually someone will load it with books or a fishtank and it will fail if you're using anchors.
