You still need a nitrogen source. They are using the glucose energy to turn nitrogen (ammonia in this case) into protein.

I'm not sure I agree with your wording, ie use "glucose energy to turn nitrogen into protein". Proteins are made up of amino acids which are made from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The glucose not only provides energy to the process but also carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. In fact, this is a very common process in plants.

Note: The comment I originally responded to appears to have changed their wording from "living organism" to animal. Although curiously this might not be correct either. For example, humans synthesize some “nonessential amino acids” from glucose (eg glucose → pyruvate → alanine). It's possible similar amino acid pathways can be combined into a protein completely synthesized by the human body. It also seems very likely that this happens in other animals.

Sure it's an oversimplification, I excluded everything else glucose provides besides energy, but glucose alone cannot produce protein.

Nitrogen source is rarely the most expensive BOM component for cell culture/fermentation, so it's all kind of moot.

I made a typo above when I said glucose provides nitrogen that should be hydrogen.

There's a bit of a trick to pushing a 20t rotting chunk of soft flesh into straps wide enough to then not slice through the beast when under tow.

What you're looking for is called a "kosher kitchen"

Though, of course, if you want to both do this _and_ use it as a kosher kitchen, you'll want _four_ dishwashers :)

That only works as long as the company is able to hire someone with your skillset at your new LocalRate.

This cuts both ways; your ability to demand higher pay is contingent on that you can get that pay elsewhere. If other companies at your new LocalRate are paying substantially less, then your remote employer only has to beat those offers to remain competitive (from your point of view).

China nipped this before they spent much time in the exponential phase:

US is tracking highly with Italy, but 12 days behind.

How is the US 12 days behind? Where does that number come from? The first Italian case was a month after the first US case.

Iirc the first us case was isolated, what really matters is the first community spread. The 12 days comes from lining up the curves. Our current # of cases is where Italy was 12 days ago.

Population of Italy is 60m and the US is 327m.

Land size if Italy is 116,347 mi², land size of US is 3.797 million mi²

I don't think it's fair to make any assumptions from those infection numbers when the two countries are vastly different.

Interesting, but to truly track similar to Italy wouldn't we need higher numbers being we're a much larger populous? Just curious.

Each outbreak is regional, having the numbers normalised to the total country population doesn't really give interesting information. It is the medical system of that specific region that is at risk of saturation.

The US isn't doing anywhere near as much testing as Italy.

In particular, Juul's tobacco carts tasted horrible. Same with their menthol.

It's a field that has many startups and government basic research for decades. Power plant flue gas seems to be the primary feedstock people are interested today.

I would think tractors are pretty optimized — to be stout — and naturally aren't going to look like an automobile being manufactured.
