Yup. I heard a very similar story from my mom when she worked as an EMT. That and several other similar stories disabused me of ever wanting to DD anything made prior to the early 90's.

Somehow I managed to avoid Fireflies. After listening to excerpts from several of their other songs, I entirely agree with your assessment.

Every “biohacker” I’ve encountered came from the perfect Venn diagram intersection of people that know nothing about technology or biology. While cybernetic augmentation is most likely in our future those fools won’t be it’s vanguard.

After reading the headline, did anyone else’s imaginations conjure Bob Barker, imploring everyone to spay or neuter their corporation’s board and CEO?

That’s actually a very good idea, and easy to implement.

That’s a great picture! Thank you good sir or madam for posting it.

Starred for, “naked fun times” a splendid piece of prose.

Almost certainly. It’s a shame that CEO’s of closely held private companies can’t be imprisoned for violating the antiquities act and (likely) supporting terrorism.

Not surprised, just disappointed.

This report highlights the need for a well funded, federal center dedicated to processing rape kits and other forensic DNA samples.

I too had lower back issues and found that mat Pilates was much more effective than Yoga. Mat Pilates doesn’t use the weird machine things, so many Yoga studios also offer it. It’s way more of a workout and (and least in my experience) free of all that pesudoscientific Ohmic Chakra crap. I also prefer classic to…

Five minutes of training is still training.

Folks, this is something that you really need to be trained to use. Fortunately most CPR and first aid courses can include this. Check with your local board of public health or fire department. They can help steer you to low cost (or free) training and narcan.

This is clearly a failure of the Seattle PD to properly train and implement de-escalation tactics. My wife worked with local Mass police departments implementing this training. Knife holding suspects are always part of the training.

Tangential, but I for one will cheer when “woke”and “bae” are purged from common parlance. Neither are particularly clever or precise, and they strike me as excessively juvenile.

Yes! Given the budget AAA games have nowadays you’d think they’d be able to get some top tier writers and voice actors.

I would like to thank Bioware for this game. The rumored release date approximately corresponds to my matriculation into grad school. Now I’ll be able to focus purely on my studies. How very considerate of them.

I regret that I have but one star to give.

Indeed. As someone who also analyzes data for a living, I wholeheartedly support your findings (Heart value <0.05).

Toxicity is all a function of quantity and route of admistration. In sufficient quantity, everything is toxic. Some things are only toxic if ingested, or inhaled, or delivered intravenously.
