You decide, here’s the TL;DR:

• Google has confirmed to Android Authority that development of the Android operating system will soon fully happen in private.
• Currently, Google shares some of the work it does on the public AOSP Gerrit, but moving forward, this work will all be done in private.
• The goal for this privatization is to simplify Android OS development and not to hinder external developers, which is why Google remains committed to publishing source code to AOSP after each release.

So, the term Fediverse basically refers to the ActivityPub protocol and the associated server software. Technically, it’s not just ActivityPub, but also the AT protocol and nostr. Another layer to the Fediverse, at least in my mind, is having some federation. Meaning Bluesky isn’t apart of the Fediverse, even though it’s built on the AT Protocol, because of it’s isolation. Since there’s no interaction with Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, or other federated social networks, it’s not part of the Fediverse.

A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. Only 32 minutes long, but it’s a god damn classic. My favorites on it are Hard Times, Stickup, and Confrontation.

Fat Mike first turned em down, then they dosed his drink with Lucy at the after party, and he signed em in the morning! The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can hear in how it rides the beat at times, but he was meant for punk rock!

The research paper is available through OP’s link

Here’s a snapshot of the data from the research paper:

Sounds more like a parasite than a heterotropic organism. If you were in the GI tract, it’d be a heterotroph, which means you’d be a one time use. But since it’s consistently exposing you to situations where it’s the main beneficiary, seems like it’s parasitic and just taking you for all it can without much care for the repercussions.

You’re a reactant in the internets catabolic reactions used to power it’s anabolic reactions?! I mean, I hope you’re okay, but at least the internet is moving to renewables!

As someone who works in academia and has researched STEM education, wanting to do this is despicable! You have a quarter million dollars saved, yet you want money intended for low-income students. Like, what the actual hell?! I hope you attempt this and get caught, ideally they’ll then fine you $250K and ensure you’re unable to ever receive any financial aid. Screw you and you’re comfortably committing fraud which will impact those who actually need the funding!

It depends on your moral stance about working with the cops in this fashion. In many circles, becoming a CI will get you immediately ostracized and could lead to being physically assaulted. Alternatively you could tell the judge about your financial situation and hopefully work it off via community service. Also, fines can often be reduced by providing documentation demonstrating your income meets specific conditions. But to each their own, I mean based on your citation, what CI work would they have you do? I’ve only ever heard about CI’s in the drug world.

Rise Against — Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Fossify’s Messenger is awesome, it handles SMS/MMS plus it’s ad free and open-source.

Basically couldn’t have come any later really. They’re already coming out the gates scrabbling with just 3 months and change until voting starts.

So, based on your sources, the first one states “'connected consciousness’ occurs when people under general anaesthetic are able to respond to outside stimuli such as pain but may not be able to recall the event afterwards.” This occurred with 1 out of 10 patients in their study. But responding to the environment is much different than consciousness under anesthesia.

The second source was pay walled, but in the third from the BBC, it states “the unfortunate result is that a small proportion of people may lie awake for part or all of their surgery without any ability to signal their distress.” It’s important to remember it’s only a “small proportion” of folks!

I’ve unfortunately had more than 10 surgical procedures and I’m also a major odd ball when it comes to treatments for my autoimmune disorders. But I’ve never once had any issues with anethesia, aside from specific drugs making me irritable when coming too. You’ll almost certainly be fine. I found this research paper that’s super specific to your question: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2743249/

It covers how somewhere between 0.05% and 0.1% of patients undergoing anesthesia are aware of the operation during the procedure. While this is a truly minor proportion, it isn’t 0%, and this is one reason why surgery is a last resort. Regardless, the numbers are on your side and do your best not to manifest this into taking place during your operation!

They were arrested for a violent protest that resulted in setting fire to a construction site which was building temporary housing for asylum seekers. Seems pretty straight forward they were protesting the state helping those seeking asylum, no?

Well, only very specific viruses entry the nucleus, most often due to not bringing along enzymes needed for replication. Then, there’s transducing viruses and non-transducing viruses, of which only one will retain it’s genome in the host genome. Both occur near oncogenic gene locations too, which is why viral infections can lead to cancer, but this isn’t very common at all. IDK, guess I’ve always felt bacteria are way more complex and that it makes sense CRISPR comes from them. Bacterial viruses, aka bacteria phages, were the evolutionary pressure which lead to CRISPR’s development. But I’m a nerd and stay up to date with it all, so maybe that shifted my outlook.

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I studied in this field as welll, so curious why you thought CRISPR would be associated with viruses over bacteria or even mold/yeast?

It was revolutionary when it was first isolated from bacteria. Always fascinating to me that it’s pretty much the bacterial adaptive immune system. Now it’s awesome seeing other scientists dial in the precision of an already game changing advancement.

Oh, the leading scientific hub worldwide doing scientific research brings you dismay? Must suck to hear anything science related then…

I’ve taken it for years, only thing to be sure of is to cycle it. I go for a month on month off, but definitely see what your doc’s rec is there over mine 100%.

Just for clarity, according to mountsinai.org “Cysteine is an amino acid, a building block of proteins that are used throughout the body. When taken as a supplement, it is usually in the form of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The body makes this into cysteine and then into glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.”
