Dragon spacecraft being "decommissioned" is bullshit as well, they were blowing up left and right. Musk bilked the American people and is running away.

Holy fuck this is a terrible idea.

The child was "saved" in that they can last longer until they'd die without a liver transplant.

It was successful because of how easy the liver is to target with medications.

"Fixing" one organ doesn't change the entire bodies genotype, female sex cells will continue to (potentially) carry the defect.

These genetic "diseases" are not all without any benefit, the most common example is sickle cell anemic people have higher resistance to malaria.

There's no telling how "fixing" things generically will alter other systems in the body, it was done to one organ to a briefly observed window of success, that's barely more than anecdotal evidence.

This is what I came up with in 5 minutes, I'm not a geneticist.

I've been a member since day 1.

You absolutely get to keep your games, you don't get to keep accessing the.... App... That they have gate keeping a bunch of their "trove" games, but if you're just going for this months games subscribe, redeem the keys, and cancel.

I don't believe there's any saying you can't continuously subscribe and unsubscribe. And if there is, sign up with a new account, they're selling steam keys, they can't revoke them.

It's honestly one of the best deals in gaming imo. I've only had 1 or 2 bundles I wasn't enthusiastically happy with, and I found friends who were interested in taking those keys off my hands.

That said it only adds to my back log every month. But 10$/month (grandfathered in) I cannot complain with the service at all.

Actually 1 compliant, if you don't redeem the keys immediately they might "run out and be 'temporarily unavailable'" I've found a dozen of those and I check in on them once or twice a week and in the last 6 months they've only gotten more keys for 2 of those games, fortunately the 2i was most looking forward to.

I understand your motivation and desire to not let the morons go un-opposed, I appreciate what you've done, but it's time to leave the troll in it's cave. The ogre will not turn to stone if it feels the touch of sun unfortunately. Shine your brightness in places it'll be appreciated.

It must not contain enough kick backs for him

Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn't really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

You're right that the editors don't get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that's more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)

There's always someone out there who will say that about anything. And there are always questionable people who would take advantage of others charity. Don't let that stop you from trying to spread good.

A 4, this weekend was as close to a 9 as one could get (no major milestone events, so not a 10), and today is just very blah. I normally try to keep my stress free days around 6, but I can't kick away the feeling of how good this past weekend was

I did read it, it could have been updated after the time of my reading and making this comment.

I learned from other sources that he did in fact say this.

And I hate my country all the more for it. This man is actively looking for bribes from other countries, as is our country hadn't already done enough for him.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Huh?

Nothing there needs fixing, I can't tell if I should be looking for hairline or wrinkle or eyebrows, it's all good, you've got problems nowhere.

We used to put dry ice in them and toss them under the liquid tanks as people were cleaning the insides of the tank. Definitely was a great reminder to use the PPE.

Or leave it uncapped?

 

It doesn't announce the date in the video, but in the description. The video is more teasing goodness.

I hope they'll do constant interviews soon

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

His collar tag matches his personality, and his chompers, perfectly. Care to guess what it is?

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

 

I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.

Thanks Lemmy-syncers

More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

 

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.

Don't let this one go past you!
