Laboratory-evolved bacteria switch to consuming carbon dioxide for growth: over the course of several months, researchers created E. coli strains that consume CO2 for energy instead of organic compounds.

Although widely distributed in nature, carbon is not particularly plentiful, making up only about 0.025% of Earth’s crust, yet it forms more compounds than all the other elements combined. The word carbon probably derives from the Latin carbo, meaning variously β€œcoal,” β€œcharcoal,” β€œember.” britannica.com/science/ca…

There are several olympic target risers made of carbon, there are carbon hunting setups for both recurve and compound. Im curious why ive never seen any target compounds of carbon construction. Maybe im just not looking well?

Determining the formula of the compound using the cross over rule (Carbon and Oxygen)

So using the cross over rule, Carbon has no Charge and Oxygen has a charge of -2

So I get C20. This seems wrong. I have a feeling it should be CO2, but I can't explain why

Why do so many important compounds seem to contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen? What makes them so special?

It seems like those four elements are constantly reoccurring in many pharmaceuticals strictly by themselves. What makes these elements so common in pharmaceuticals compared to the other elements?

Well we're out of the salt mines, and we need all of you to meet at the mod compound/coronavirus bunker in Cabo tomorrow...for reasons.

I think we all remember the fiasco last year but just to remind you:

>I would like to remind people that the Ides of March is not just about stabbing your leader. The real spirit of this holiday is gathering with friends and colleagues to go stab your leader together. People forget about that. It’s a holiday about community, not just murder.

>Which is why I am pissed off. Expiresafteruse, Theeldergodssmile, Idontknowhowtopm, cypher_blue, eeech, BobMcGee, and all the rest of the mod team arrived at the mod compound in Cabo yesterday with our knives sharpened to take out /u/ramady

>But where were you the members of our community? Probably off stabbing random other people on your own.

>No one man, hell no twenty men and women can hope to take out ramady - I mean have you seen him? He's like Conan the Barbarian with ninja skills. He wiped the floor with us. If you guys were a true community you would have been there to help, but no. You left us high and dry and now we're all off to the salt mines.

>Next year come this time I want you all to remember what community really means when the Ides of March roll around.

>I'm just so disappointed right now.

We even went out and got new hired killers err mods like Derspiny, Robbeary_Homoside, boopbaboop, and fertileoctagenarian but we can't do it alone. So everyone we need you to get organized, stop planning to stab randos, sharpen your knives, and head to the mod compound/coronavirus shelter in Cabo where Ramady is holed up with 40,000 rolls of TP and do what needs to be done. You can reply in the comments with any suggestions to make this more successful than last year's debacle.

Let me know if you have any dietary needs for the BBQ afterwards. BYOB.
