    Weekend Puzzle - The Cantaloupe Problem

    A person transports 100 kg of Cantaloupes during the summer by train. At the time of loading the Cantaloupes contained 99% of water. By the time it reached the final destination the water content had dropped to 98%. Question - How much does the Cantaloupes weigh now?

    Woolly Mamoth DNA recovered.

    I have read Beth Shapiro too... and Colosssal Biosciences was mentioned in the final para of my post had anyone cared to find out who they are and what they do. The science has moved on from Shapiro times. "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is...

    VFS global වංචාව ඩොලර් බිලියන 2.6 යි. රනිල් මීක් නෑ 😄

    This is really not VFS Global but VFS Local - it stands for Visa Fraud & Scams. :ROFLMAO:

    Woolly Mamoth DNA recovered.

    Don't just laugh at the advances in genetic science. It took about four decades of research to get to Dolly. That was 28 years ago. Dolly wasn't the first mammal to be cloned. They had another sheep in 1984, 40 years ago to current year. Around 50 years ago no one would have imagined that this...

    Linux වල useful advanced tools??

    Depends on what you need. Terminator is a terminal emulator while Tmux is a terminal multiplexer.

    Woolly Mamoth DNA recovered.

    They are trying to bring back the Dodo, Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) etc. But note that you can never get the identical one to the extinct species. What you get is really a close hybrid version of the extinct animal. There are limitations with the current gene editing technology and also an exact...

    Woolly Mamoth DNA recovered.

    Pretty soon. Could be less than in five years. Mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, so it's quite feasible. It's just to identify the cold weather genes, curved tusks and other features that we know of the mammoth. Not an easy task but quite possible. Woolly...

    Woolly Mamoth DNA recovered.

    A complete genome has been extracted from a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, which might bring us closer to resurrecting the species. A woolly mammoth that died 52,000 years ago is so well preserved that it is possible both to read its full genome and to reconstruct the three-dimensional...

    👨‍⚕️ දුර්ලභ ගණයේ රෝගී තත්ත්වයන් ද්විත්වයක් වන "Gastroparesis' සහ "Ehlers-Danlos syndrome" 👩‍⚕️

    There is genetic testing for 12 subtypes of EDS.... But the most common type, Hypermobile EDS (hEDS), has yet to have a genetic basis found and only diagnosed clinically. Hopefully one day someone would find the elusive genetiic marker. (y)

    AI speech generator 'reaches human parity' - Too dangerous to release.

    Microsoft's VALL-E 2 can convincingly recreate human voices using just a few seconds of audio, its creators claim. Microsoft has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) speech generator that is apparently so convincing it cannot be released to the public. VALL-E 2 is a text-to-speech...

    Ariane 6 rocket successfully launches for first time.

    Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket successfully blasted off for the first time on Tuesday, releasing satellites into orbit and restoring the continent's independent access to space. European space efforts have suffered a series of blows, including four years of delays to Ariane 6, that have robbed...

    Perfume experts ලා එන්න

    It's from the well known Pen manufacturer Mont Blanc (also fashion leather products, watches too) and many consider as a close clone of Creed Aventus which costs many times more. Both have similarities but the Creed lasts much more longer but costs around $400.

    සුද්දගෙ නීතිය හොඳයි කියන උන් බලපං මේවා 😋

    Actually they advice that you keep quiet and move sideways away from the bears. Bears don't attack unless they feel threatened. If there are bear cubs, you need to be extra careful because the female could feel that you are a danger to her cubs. Also hike in groups. BTW you can't play dead with...

    දඹුල්ලේ ‍ෆෝන් හොරකමේ වීඩියෝව අන්තර්ජාලයෙන් ඉවත්කරන්න TRCSL ට නියෝග

    Exactly... Shoplifting is a crime and that got to be dealt by the law enforcement, which is the police. While posting of these might not amount to a criminal offence, it would certainly lead to embarrassment to the person involved and might possibly consitute an invasion of privacy under certain...

    සුද්දගෙ නීතිය හොඳයි කියන උන් බලපං මේවා 😋

    Many countries have banned these but they get from neighbouring countries. The offence only carries a small fine anyway. PS: Carry "Baygon spray" instead. :ROFLMAO: Legally you are entitled to carry an alarm or even animal deterrent sprays. PS: Reminds me of another incident. Somewhere in the...

    දක්ෂිනාංශික National Rally පරාජයට පත්කරමින් බහුතරයක් සංක්‍රමණිකයින් සහය පලකල New Popular front වාමාන්ශිකය ප්‍රංශ මැතිවරණය ඉහලින්ම ජය ගනියි

    You probably don't want to travel either to UK or France. I have been visiting both these countries regularly and the present situation is pathetic. Their entire social fabric is ruined. :(

    Innovative approach could make HIV vaccine a reality.

    HIV virus mutates fast, really very fast. Although a person initially becomes infected with one or a few HIV strains, the virus replicates and mutates quickly, resulting in a "swarm" of viral strains existing in a single body. This is why it's hard to develop a vaccine for HIV. But scientists...

    දබුල්ලේ ෆෝන් හොරකම උඩින් 😂🙌

    The sad reality is that a shoplifting becomes a headline news but grand larceny in the first degree by the politicians in the country doesn't get any publicity. Even if it becomes public the same people react differently. :unsure:
