Thousands of people are reportedly lining up to have a portion of their skull removed and one of Elon Musk's brain chips implanted (www.businessinsider.com)

Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink, which Musk cofounded in 2016, approval to launch human trials of its device that Musk has described as a “Fitbit in your skull.” The FDA had previously rejected Neuralink’s bid for human testing in March over safety concerns, Reuters reported, including...

“Please track my thoughts and sell the data, daddy Elon!” - the people lining up for this probably

Was this guy at the store judging me?

i went to the mall to do stuff and wanted to try on some sweaters and asked the clerk where the fitting rooms were. and this dude instantly had this quite severe sort of - disappointed stern adult look about him as he pointed me there. like, he was very sort of clean and clean shaven and had a fitted sweater and everything. and...

It’s a little more nuanced than that. One of the biggest issues is access, not necessarily the quality of the care itself. But when you’re poor and don’t get care, the data looks pretty shitty. If you were to look only at the people with access (or wealthy people in particular), the USA actually looks pretty good. Of course, that’s meaningless for population health and only relevant for individuals.

I could write like 3 pages about why it’s expensive on top just the broken insurance system.

Iirc, the 1 in 3 number holds nationwide. Someone I know did a research project on this, but I’m pretty sure he said it’s around 30ish% that don’t work.

After law school, candidates will spend 675 hours working under the supervision of an experienced attorney and create a portfolio of legal work that bar officials will grade as an alternative to the traditional bar exam.

So, still basically a test, but now more like 4 months of underpaid/free labor.

While your friend’s story is BS and a reflection of some absurd laws, I assure you law school is longer lol

I’m guessing there was content calling for mass murder of one side or the other

Oddly, I found myself going back many times over the past 15 years or so. Something about the simplicity kept me going intrigued. Guess Trollegle/bellawhiskey, and whatever other chatrooms died as well

I’m not aware of any trading platform that lets you buy and sell that quickly for free. They would charge a commission, at which point you’d be losing money on each sale

Idk, my mom has one and I feel like our water tastes the same? What do you notice about it?

Edit: not saying it isn’t good to get one, just saying that if I didn’t know it, I wouldn’t notice a difference

Per the article, the FBI doesn’t run the website. That’s not entrapment. The owner reported her when she made a serious inquiry on a parody site.

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I did it. It’s slightly funny, but also the article describes it pretty well.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, not disagreeing with you on any part except the entrapment. If I say “fuck you” to a dude on the street and he stabs me, he still can get charged for trying to kill me. That’s not entrapment.

What a shit headline. Journalists, with the exception of op ed writers, are supposed to maintain neutrality in public. It has nothing to do with which side she was on, just the act of making a public statement.

The article even makes that point, but of course the headline needs to be catchy and not just a fair portrayal.

Not everything is solved with regressive taxation policy (eg taxing water use). A small wealth tax and the USA could solve a lot of problems

People do this with weird apps. Reminded me of something I read a while back:

Friendly reminder that lab grown meat is 10-20 years away from being affordable and then we don’t have to deal with this shit happening every few months

And you know where that E. coli comes from, right? It’s when farms put cattle too close to their lettuce (this is shockingly common) and the E. coli goes from the cattle shit and washes down to the irrigation system, which goes to the lettuce. My understanding is this still happens due to how the irrigation/water systems work for hydroponic stuff.

Not sure if you’re agreeing with me or you were trying to point out a flaw, but it’s still all caused by animal ag being shitty.

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

But the example you cited is due to animals is my point. Which you don’t have in a lab

Not with the way US farm subsidies exist now, you’re right

The checks, according to Virginia residents who have received them in the mail, are being sent with a note that specifically credits Youngkin for the money, telling the taxpayer they are “receiving this rebate because Governor Glenn Youngkin recently signed a bill passed by the 2023 Virginia General Assembly.”

That’s pretty terrible

Although neither the ATF nor DEA existed before the 70s, part of the reason might have to do with ATF’s precursor existing for a really long time, before we cared about many other drugs. DEA pretty much came about under Nixon’s war on drugs.
