How did life begin on Earth? New experiments support 'RNA world' hypothesis

A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests could have quickly formed in the presence of compounds called borates.

Getting My #SecondLife Just In Time To Celebrate

My #FirstLife house remodeling project is finally complete, and as of a week ago or so, my big desktop computer is set up and working in its new location in a combination guest room/sewing room.

So for the past week I've been reconnecting with friends, and even managed to make it to #RelayForLif

My Quiet #SecondLife

My time inworld has been limited for the past few months, due to a big #firstlife #homerenovation project that's had me and my spouse upending our lives and home since February. My ability to get inworld has been limited, since the big desktop computer was disconnected and stored in a guestroom/dumping ground, and I'm using an older laptop with a terrible onboard Intel

#DFSDigitalFarmSystems #SecondLife

The #FirstLife house renovation starts tomorrow, and the network connections have to be moved around for my spouse’s home office as the project starts in his lair. My #SecondLife connection will be wireless for weeks but I should be able to get stuff done without losing content (I hope).

I’m reducing scripted prims, and realized the landscaping product I bought is just too resource-heavy, along with the complicated farm-produce sorting system I loved. Somehow my DFS downsizing plan results in buying new stuff that’s less primmy.

First mosses, from the deep they crept,
Crawling from brine, up a beach sea-swept.

They ascend, to the land unknown,
Bringing oxygen, atmosphere to sow.

Over ages, the bryophytes evolve,
Spreading green far across the hills and groves.

Gone are those days of ancient lore,
When moss held dominion o'er Earth's floor.
