I think gene theraly is a miracle technology that should absolutely be explored more. The thing is, we’re already at a point where we can do it in adults. So doing it on embyros, which can’t consent, is simply an uncessasary moral hazard.
That said, I think the doctor here sort of has a point, which is that medical research is sometimes so concerned with doing no harm that it allows harm to happen without trying to treat it.
It should work fine in OP’s sentence, but sadly the word’s been ruined… A while back I heard someone over 40 use it as a noun in real life. 🫤
Honestly, it would be a pretty lame T-shirt.
One time a colleague and I found that book just chilling under an unused desk at work. We had never heard of it, so we were pretty confused. 😆 Still kinda am, honestly.
I think the phrase has the same basic problem as a lot of common advice… the real truth is more nuanced than any pithy phrase could ever be. At best, it’s a quick way of reminding someone who already knows better but has temporarily forgotten.
Gyros and shawarma are both types of / related to döner; you might have more luck finding one of them.
A few weeks ago, my parents complained that the laptop kept going to a “screensaver” while they were trying to work on it.
So I changed the screensaver setting from like 3 minutes to 15 minutes… but it kept happening. I knew something was up when they said “well it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to reopen the Internet every time.”
Guys… it was a touchscreen laptop. They were grabbing it by the corner and closing out the window. 😆 And one of these people showed me how to make a website in HTML when I was younger…
Are we all doomed to be daft in our old age?
It might be a reference to the Ferengi, from Star Trek. They say “human” in a weird way to demonstrate their mild contempt.
Apparently GOG is Polish. DRM free, too; the one time I used it it literally just gave me the raw game files, like back in the day.
I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just “not liking it,” and I think you knew that before you posted. :P
I mean, it kind of is though? It’s a handy sentiment, but if you think about it, good data is just a well-curated collection of anecdotes. 🤷
Sorry, bit of a tangent. 😅
Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.
It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.
In other words, I think this is a good start.
Eight years?! EIGHT?? I’m all about compassionate treatment alof criminals… but I feel like this is a quintessential example of a crime that deserves an indefinite sentence.
I used to have pretty serious lower back pain. Two things helped me out quite a lot, and you don’t need a doctor for either.
1: Exercise the lower back. Pain in the lower back is caused by muscle weakness.
2: Getting a different job. Yea it turns out that sitting at a desk for 12 hours causes hecka bad back pain. Although I’ve heard that sitting in a backless chair or yoga ball can help, since leaning against the back of your chair is what causes the miscle weakness.
Edit: Obviously this is just what worked for me; it might not be effective for people that have unusual causes like injury and stuff.
