CRISPR used to 'reprogram' cancer cells into healthy muscle in the lab in c/technology@lemmy.world

Potentially. You could engineer potatoes to produce more of certain starches and less moisture, so it would fry up crispier than normal.

Where are you going and when: Colorado late summer

What temp range and weather do you expect: Low/mid-30's to 70's

Goal Baseweight (BPW): Pretty happy with things, but I'm always down with going lighter.

Budget: $0. I got bills to pay.

Non-negotiable Items: Honestly don't know what I could cut out. If anything, I might be forgetting something.

Solo or with another person?: Solo, 2p gear list is heavier.

Note: A lot of this gear I bought used or on sale/clearance. UL gear doesn't have to be expensive. There's plenty floating around, if you keep an eye out. Thrift stores or Craigslist in more outdoorsy cities will have decent stuff. If our community on Lemmy gets large enough, it'd be cool to have a ULGeartrade at some point. I bought the pack and the poncho tent off there.

Caveats: For cooler temps I'll bring a down vest or jacket. If I want more comfortable sleep, I have an inflatable sleep pad. For buggy conditions I bring the net tent. All this would bring me up to 10 lbs.

Brother printer questions in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I have two printers a HL-L2350DW b&w laser printer and a label printer. The laser printer is connected to our wifi and is detected in Fedora and Ubuntu without having to install additional drivers.

Microsoft accidentally leaks internal tool that can enable hidden Windows 11 features in c/technology@lemmy.world

Maybe that's one of the features you can enable.

What do you guys use to wash gear, like backpacks and tents? (lemmy.world)

I neglected to wash my backpack the last couple seasons and my 2p tent could use a wash. Zippers are feeling a little gritty.

I've seen some suggestions like baby shampoo, but the only stuff at the store was scented. Anyone use unscented castile soap?

Vladimir Smirnov - Soviet fencer killed during the 1982 World Championships when his opponent's blade broke through his mask, went straight through his eye orbit and into his brain in c/creepywikipedia@lemmy.world

What a crazy story. (Behr was his opponent in said match):

Forty years later, amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Behr called Smirnov's former wife in Ukraine, and gave her son-in-law and two grandchildren refuge during the war.
