Glorious!

Glad to see a leap forward ín this field. I had a failed strabismus surgery as a kid and lemme tell you, being 8 is difficult enough without that. Even if surgery ends up being necessary, this sounds like a relatively low cost treatment in the run up to making that decision. Or the VR training might improve surgical outcomes. Someone do a study on that. I look forward to hearing about developments.

If it’s not, it should be.

Love the wallpaper/tie coordination.

From the poster: “Featuring the actual hookers and blades of the Sunset Strip…” Well, ok, but did they get Screen Actor’s Guild memberships out of it, at least? That’s better than dignity.

Ooh dang, AKA Callery Pears, AKA invasive pest. Our state forestry/wildlife department did a limited time buyback of those, dead or alive. Once.

Have you seen the price of half’n half? I bet that is where the budget goes.

As it should be. If Intel is spending that much, that better be Yorkshire Gold.

Build the hypothetical ship in space and you never have to deal with it except as ice, which is easier to move around and shape into what you need. The ISS has a lot of liquids on board in all sorts of forms, from chicken soup, to ink pens, to the urine inside astronaut bladders. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

I mean, they put nuclear waste at the bottom of miles deep water wells, because it absorbs alpha, gamma and beta particles and it’s cheap.

They used the ice for everything, including cooling and heating the ship as needed. They got the bad effects from the cosmic radiation pinging in from all other directions, not from using the water. The volume of ice was larger than that of the ship, I think it also absorbed physical damage from micrometeorites. Let’s hope someone in the Big Green Machine reads the novel.

They did that in the novel “Seveneves”, used a massive chunk of ice as the bow of their ship on a one-way, twenty year plus trip. It didn’t stop all the radiation, though. Just enough to keep a minimum number of crew alive to complete their mission. They all developed different types of cancers, anyways,but the kinds that could be treated along the way and extend their chances.

“My simple message is, ‘Boost share price before I get shown the door,’” said Gelsinger in an interview with the New York Times.

I dunno, does the scanner grope you and steal stuff from your baggage?

I intended to use the English plural of the Anglicized word for potato dumplings. The potato dumplings I mentioned are a metaphor for testicles.

The radio station manager seems solely responsible, he needs Jesus Christ in his life. Perhaps a kick in the piroshkis.

Briefly acquainted with Sirius a ways back, the talk radio was the best part. I liked the one hosted by Nancy Sinatra, her insights into her own life and her dad’s legacy were fascinating. There would be a decent block of his music, then a bit of commentary. Her voice is actually soothing, but not so much that you get sleepy at all. Craig Ferguson did a show on Sirius a while back, high quality rambling and light on the interview topics.

Yeah, so have a dead lady talk to no one, without asking her relatives if they mind hearing Great-Auntie promoting Instagram, while they’re doing the school drop off. They will not mind, they love OFF. Real estate agents are contacting this family like mad, as they are about to acquire a chain of radio stations.

Hell yeah. That’s where the $19 billion went that the CEO is going on about.
