Fast relative to what? The point is that the kinesin protein doesn’t “walk” any more than floating debris “swims.”
This animation was made by the Shenandoah Baptist Church and is famously misleading. The “steps” are the stochastic byproduct of Brownian motion. Here’s an accurate representation:

It’s actually harmful in the short term, too, since renewable tech constitutes a huge economic and technological boost. Boomers did this out of spite.


We have such a wide variety of cults to choose from.


You mean since they annexed Tibet and sent the population to re-education camps? Well, aside from threatening to bomb Taiwan every other week and skirmishing with India, China is currently fighting with the Philippines (when they’re not busy kidnapping kids from Hong Kong). Their military is growing and so is their destabilizing influence. Even Japan has begun re-arming.


The widespread perception is that China is a bad-faith actor. The bellicose flagrancy with which they warmonger is a little too on-the-nose.


Don’t be silly.

Another psychopath. His telltale indifference to reality gives it away. That’s the hallmark of the soulless.


You think it’s normal to lock the US population into place, decrease housing market liquidity, reduce inventory, and drive up home prices?
Here’s what I think is normal: the primary residence, which is traditionally the primary stock of wealth for the working and middle classes, should not be taxed. Period. Your second house should be taxed. Your third house should be taxed. Your huge boat should be taxed. Not your home.
People need to stop their war on the US middle class, which is rapidly disappearing. The majority of the wealth is in the hands of the top 1-10%. Not the middle 50, or the working poor, who are the most impacted by this moronic tax.
Behold, the impact of property taxes:



The “profit” is realized as soon as the sale goes through. Your financial illiteracy and the confidence with which you wield it is astonishing.


I don’t have an error. If you buy a house for $200k (average price for houses in the US some years ago) and it now costs $500k (average price for houses in US today), this tax makes it LITERALLY impossible for you to sell your house and buy another one. This is a new phenomenon.


Let’s say I want to sell my (cheaper) home and buy another one — the same type of house, but I want to move. Well, I can’t, because as soon as I sell it and get taxed, I can’t afford to buy a house anymore. These aren’t landlords. We’re talking primary home residence.
For the people downvoting me: as average home prices increase in value you will eventually be unable to sell your home and move anywhere else. We went from $200k average home prices to $500k in just a few years. Ordinarily you would sell your current house and buy another one, but with this tax you can’t afford to do so. You’re locked in forever. Welcome to a shitty housing market.


To be fair, that would be fucking hilarious.


Sorry to horrify you but we are definitely worse.
