Last universal common ancestor, or LUCA, may be the scientific term, but I personally prefer the term "great grand-blob".

Our last common ancestor lived 4.2 billion years ago—perhaps hundreds of millions of years earlier than thoughtwww.science.org Genomes of diverse microbes point to early evolution of a rudimentary immune system

My "hot" take is that it's too hot to do anything outside.

I don't mean to sound repetitive, but there's an invitation on my doorstep for a ward breakfast on Pioneer Day "at the church". I still do not know what building this means.

Content Warning: Pointless thread I am in the process of trying to find myself as a separate distinct individual, so I am trying to try things that were "forbidden" that the rest of the populace seems to enjoy. I thought I would try reading A Court of Thorns and Roses (#ACOTAR) /

As someone who is within earshot of the gun range above Bountiful (while living in Kaysville), most of the concerns listed in this article are valid. Outdoor gun ranges are loud.

Today, I woke up, and I'm choosing the opposite of violence. I don't know if that's a thing, but I hope you all have a lovely Monday.

I'm going to be really tired today, but this thunderstorm is really beautiful.

My kids are in elementary school. I found out that another one of my high school buddies is a grandparent. It shouldn't catch me off guard, but it does. Every time.

The Taylorsville Temple has finally been dedicated. 265,000 is A LOT of people. I was hoping traffic would return to normal levels, but construction is still keeping my commute interesting. I wish the Fiiz drinks across the street all the success it deserves.

I'm beginning to understand more of why I ended up unmarried when I graduated college back in the day. By all accounts, the environment (my mostly-mormon university) and my (average Utah) image should have guaranteed a temple marriage in my early 20s. I. made. so. many. people. worried. /

Kaysville is a wild place. Outsiders have no idea.

Before I see any posts freaking out that birth rates have dropped again, I want to share this graph. The % of women with Bacherlor's+ degrees that are childless are decreasing.

This weeks deconstruction realization: although my spouse and I don't attend church anymore, I think I still am in a mixed-faith marriage. I consider myself to be a non-practicing (i.e. less active) member of the Mormon faith, and they consider themselves agnostic.

To be young again! "...Braaten took a wrong turn early on in his hike and ended up three canyons away from the Fernwood Trailhead and spent the night in a cave in Bair Canyon... Braaten told them he did not feel like he was lost." Also, I'm sure his parents were 100% relieved that he was alright.

Still no #temple for Kaysville or Farmington. SMH. Also, I find it strange that they finished downsizing the Laie temple a few years ago, and now they want to build a new one in Honolulu. #LDSConf

I don't have a "gatcha" post here, but I am thoroughly enjoying how many of them I'm falling for. #HappyAprilFools!

Mr. Archuleta and related videos have taken over my tiktok fyp. I don't have anything against his new album, it's probably great, but I'd like my hoof trimming and fantasy-themed food videos back...

I should have more weird options to do things. For example, when I read a book, I go from left to right. When I read manga, it's right to left. I took a tangent to the Dresden Codex today. This 12th century document from a Mayan culture is put together accordion style and read very differently.

I feel like this shouldn't be an issue. Anywhere. BYU-H likely has the most diverse campus of all the BYU schools. I get that in recent years they've been trying to align their code with BYU-Provo, but... let this man have his hair.

I love Easter. I love the message that death is not the end. Yesterday, my family's ministers dropped by an invitation for an Easter-themed sacrament meeting. I'd love to go (to sing some hymns), but 1. I don't know what time the sacrament meeting starts 2. I don't know what building it is at
