I thought video has already been released? If that is the right footage, I’m gonna say that Iran is blowing smoke, since this looks a lot more like a Shahed drone then a Patriot missile

It’s an opinion piece on genetic engineering and gene editing. I figured that would qualify it as “civil discussion” about science.

Better then Latveria. In Latveria there is no potato, only DOOM!

So… Tucker Carlson knows what smoking hash feels like?

Reminds me of the time I got Gemini to spit out part of it’s initial prompt and a good part of it was talking about when and when not to display LaTeX code:

Style and formatting LaTeX formatting You can use LaTeX formatting mathematical and scientific notations whenever appropriate. Enclose all LaTeX using ‘$’ or ‘$$’ delimiters. NEVER generate LaTeX code in a ‘latex block’ unless the user explicitly asks for it. DO NOT use LaTeX for regular prose (e.g., resumes, letters, essays, CVs, etc.).

Honey Bee

is the bee that needs help the most

I’d argue the opposite. There are thousands species of solitary native bees in small niches that need help way more. By contrast honey bees are either livestock or feral livestock that are competing with the native bees.

It’s not so much “Yucking someones yum” so much as “I think such a large age gap is going to be a big strain on this relationship. But if you wanna… fine.” Like, one of these people was born around when 9-11 occurred and the other was born around the time when Pac-Man was the new hot game in arcades and these “CD” things were starting to catch on for music storage. That’s quite a generational gap.

However, they’re both old enough to both know the what they’re doing… and maybe it will all work out. Thus my “They’re both old enough to know better” comment. Maybe they’re star crossed lovers and it will all work out… but in the end, it’s a case of “Not my circus, not my monkeys”.

Whatever. They’re both old enough to know better.

Okay, concerning article, but the “Scribbled on and blood spattered” aesthetic of the graphics is super annoying and distracting.

Maybe it’s just that it reminds me of the spider bomb proposal from this Onion article.

Basically Nvidia put out this video with much fanfare about DLSS 5 being the future . Pretty much everyone has been mocking how it changes lighting, artstyle, character facial features, and introduces that weird AI blurriness in every instance shown.

Well, yeah. That was the plan from the start. Let’s not be the “dumb fucks” who just “trust him” with personal data this time.

Eh, better then what I’ve gotten from most games I’ve participated in.

Huh… what ever could Mr. Redacted be referring to? It’s just too complex of a mystery for me to decipher.

Well a quick search says she was born in 1988, and Adams was born in 1957. They were married in 2019, so she would have been 31 and he would have been 62. So yes, easily within the age of a daughter.

Well… while the price of the Switch 2 certainly causes sticker shock, when you adjust for inflation it’s only about as expensive as the SNES was at launch… and is in fact cheaper then the NES was at launch. However, in the PS3’s case when adjusted for inflation it was about 1.5 times as expensive as the SNES at launch (for the 20 gb version, the 60 gb was double).

Player: “Uh, hey… wouldn’t beating this section be easier if you didn’t jump directly into the lava pit?”

AI Ghost: “LOL, you’re right!! 😂😅🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ll try to incorporate your feed back into future attempts to complete this section!”

The difficulty I see here is that it took the yeast not very long to mutate a beneficial effect, but it could just as quickly mutate away from that and even mutate something harmful.

That seems unlikely. The entire way it works is the yeast produces proteins that “look” like a virus to the immune system, causing a immune response. However that’s the only part of of the virus in the yeast, there’s nothing else that completes the virus. It’s like… a steering wheel without a car, no matter how hard I mime swerving to run over a pedestrian nothing’s gonna happen, because there is no car.

If the viral protein mutated it’d either A) still be recognized as a viral protein and generate immunity for a virus that doesn’t exist, or B) generate a non-functional protein that the body would simply digest.

There already are oral vaccines? There’s one for rabies that’s been airdropped across the US for years now… however to be fair that one is a live attenuated virus.

Edit and FTA:

Oral vaccines against rotavirus, cholera and polio exist, so it’s a viable strategy.

In this case it’s my understanding that they’re using the yeast to “smuggle” the viral proteins through the stomach acid, and then when the yeast is digested in the intestines the body is exposed to the added viral proteins. So since you need live yeast you can have vaccine beer, but not vaccine bread.

Reeeally hope those were dentures… otherwise, ow.
