Samsung is retiring it's messages app, and I don't want to install Google messages to replace it.

What apps are you using instead and what do you like or hate about them?

Edit: thank you for the suggestions :) This is more options than I was expecting!

But couldn’t find anything I wanted to play.

So I went outside and pulled weeds in the garden.

I accidentally loaded the Steam Store today, so decided to scroll down and selected the option Popular Upcoming and saw... a game

Modern physics is all about conserved quantities. Every physical law can be described through an associated conserved quantity. Noether's theorem establishes a connection between the two.

It makes sense to try to copy that approach to biology, or at least it's worth a try. The conserved quantity in a living being is the genetics, i think. Because while the body has cell turnover rate, the information that says how the body is built, is constant. That's why it can be used as a marker and to identify an individual, i.e. when we try to establish whether a person is still the same as they were last year (ship of theseus), we look at whether they have the same blueprint; Similar to how we don't identify a river by the water molecules in it, but by its trajectory on the landscape. And if that shape is still the same, then we call it the same river, independent of whether the water molecules changed. So the abstract shape or blueprint of something is the conserved quantity that we use to define identity, and therefore it's the conserved quantity that is relevant in the system. And that's why it should be considered an important concept, i think.

The 4,140-sq-km bay is the largest estuary on the west coast of the US. Before 2018, this species of whales wasn't known to stop seasonally or consistently in the bay, bypassing it on their migration route down to Baja California and back up the Arctic, said Josephine Slaathaug, who led a recent study on gray whale mortality in the bay.

The impressive gray whales have the longest annual migration of any mammal, travelling an approximate 15,000-20,000km roundtrip to breed.
