science and technology Did life start on the ocean floor — and what does that mean for alien life? By www.npr.org Published On :: Mon, 04 Nov 2024 03:00:59 -0500 How did life start on Earth? The answer is a big scientific mystery scientists are actively investigating. After talking with many scientists, host Regina G. Barber found that an abundance of water on Earth is most likely key, in some way, to the origin of life — specifically, in either deep sea hydrothermal vents or in tide pools. It's for this reason some scientists are also exploring the potential for life in so-called "water worlds" elsewhere in the solar system, like some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. This episode, Regina digs into two water-related hypotheses for the origin on life on Earth — and what that might mean for possible alien life.

Am I getting old and set in my ways? Yaghch! I'm not getting no 30 hours out of the battery. Though battery life is respectable, it's not special in any way. The device is ultra-thin to accommodate moto mods, but the camera aperture is sticking way out the back. To me, this makes the phone look and feel really goofy. I'm also worried about damaging the protruding component. I guess I'll just *have* to get the speaker to cover up the camera. I'm happy with the performance as I should be for the money, and I'm looking forward to trying the moto jbl soundboost speaker. Accessibility Features: Stock accessibility features. Experience: It comes with close to a stock experience, particularly gboard and now launcher. Moto mods manager and extra gesture configuration are accessible.

The accessibility shortcut is the only useful feature that comes with the box, and consists of pressing the back and down buttons together. The remote is nice, but is the only selling feature and isn't enough to make me buy again. Another issue is adjusting the speed of the pointer. I need to slow it down a bit for the user. If you don't mind getting sighted assistance for half an hour or more to set up, this could be an OK box. I mind very much, and won't be buying again even though I could really use a second one. Experience: I recommend avoiding. Buy It Now On Amazon: Buy it now on amazon Canada Full Article
