How does #RNA know where to go in the city of the cell? Using cellular #ZIPcodes and postal carrier routes @ConversationEDU https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/009286749190137N https://phys.org/news/2023-03-rna-city-cell-cellular-codes.html

"Babylon" was (necessarily) mostly made by folk younger than I.

Establishing shot, starting to set the mood, the text read:

1926, CA

Nope, it should have read something like:

1926, Calif.

The abbreviation "CA" didn't happen until the '60s, when Post Office came up with official two-letter codes for every state, when they also introduced zip codes.

@EditorMark I can’t see a post about zip codes without noting that my hometown has the lowest zip code in the US: 01001. (It’s an almost-requirement of natives to mention our town’s only claim to fame at every opportunity.). 🙂

This New Year, resolve to stop analyzing data at the Zip Code level. It’s almost never the right scale! I feel like I get more militant about this every year, but it’s one of those things like NHST: it’s everywhere and it’s almost always wrong, even when it happens to correctly identify a real pattern.

#tootquiz000 The winner is @rndngs US #zipcodes for a place that is an anagram of AELRON

Some interesting info about #USPS #ZIPCodes however.

The lowest ZIP5 is 00501, Holtsville, NY, and the highest is 99950, Ketchikan, AK.

TIL: There are also ZIPs all around the world. Upon checking, they are military bases.

Spent yesterday pulling down all the #ZIPCodes down from #USPS. Went to #Tableau to gut check the data and.... 600 UNKNOWNS? WTH?
