I’m a practicing prosthetist in the US. Myoelectric hands are nothing really that new and even getting control over the hand by surgically dropping an emg directly into the muscle groups (though their diagram implies they did something different) isn’t terribly groundbreaking. The FDA had that technology in animal testing right around the start of the pandemic, from what I remember talking to an engineer working on a project.

For me, the exciting part is the osseointegration through the forearm. Osseointegration has been going on since like the 90s, but for a long time it was only through the femur. The first reason is really that the West has way more lower limb than upper limb amputations which is a different story. The second reason is that the femur is a big bone with a lot of interior space for an implant to anchor.

Recently I’ve been seeing transtibial osseointegration surgeries being performed, which has been a pretty big deal. This is the first I’ve seen of it being done to a transradial.

I will definitely be reading more about this at work tomorrow.

The answer: a malicious contributor added hate speech to the Ukrainian translation. ISO will cover back up once they can go through all of the files and make sure there isn’t any they didn’t find at first.

We’ve seen it? Where have you seen it?

It’s a stupid question because you obviously and constantly encounter communism or because your conviction is stronger than your argument?

Oh? And where do you experience communism?

No ash? That’s smoking butane.

A crown prosecutor told the court the woman’s role in the plot was to obtain the drugs for Knudson to sell inside the prison, where a single strip of buprenorphine can fetch close to $1,000.

As said in the article, yes. Prison prices.

My partner and I left the apple ecosystem about a year ago. We got new phones and gave our old watches, airtags, and airpods to friends and family that wanted them. It felt like it was going to be too much to give up, but honestly it’s been great.

There’s so much more freedom in every facet of the phone. Apple likes to give an option, a rich people option, and occasionally a truly professional tier. Leaving Apple behind, I have wireless earbuds I love that have an 8hr lifespan out of the dock. They were fifty dollars and they sound easily better than airpods. It felt like it would be expensive to leave, but the alternatives once you leave the ecosystem tend to be cheaper pound for pound.

Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.

From like 1904-1906 Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle to show how the happily non-regulated meat market was running behind the scenes. The result was America saw a huge decline in red meat consumption. There’s a moral standing at f not letting other humans be treated that way, but more to the point, people got a peek on how their meat was processed and packaged in terms of sanitation and food safety. The contents of the novel were confirmed by a third party investigation. It led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug act in 1906, which laid the groundwork for the FDA a couple decades later.

So yes. The government absolutely should be involved in food. We’ve had them involved for the past, oh, century or so and it’s why you can buy ground beef with the basic assumption that it won’t make you sick.

I’d call Rock Slide a buff, probably. It’s more correct to say it’s a change or a rework, but it’s not totally a nerf. Rock Slide used to cost 3 when you had Zabu, but Marvel Snap is built to not let you count on having “the card” in your deck every game. Certainly not a turn 2 Zabu every game. Rock Slide on 3 into Dark hawk on 4 is more consistent than ever. I’d call that a positive change for the deck. Some might start dropping Zabu. Probably not, but some might try it.

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.

It’s faithful enough to 5e that my partner and I broke out the players handbook to do some long term class planning together. A couple of things are different, like buffs to frenzy barbarian and changes to roleplay feats or spells to have a more mechanical benefit.

But yes, as a long term DM for 5e, it’s faithful to 5e.

They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They’re not progressing humanity, they’re making a great fiscal quarter.

Combined with that, I’m in the “same” communities on my local instance as I am on instances with a bigger community for the same thing. Reddit doesn’t have a “home” like instances naturally have.
