Sorry but you can't critique the problem using the same mode of consciousness that creates it.

Computer science and university in general trains consciousness to see reality as decomposable into discrete, manipulable units. It's the systematic cultivation of a particular relationship to existence. Students graduate with powerful analytical tools and withered organs for perceiving meaning and life.


We have cars like the Suzuki Jimny here in Australia but they kinda shit themselves on the highway because for some reason Suzuki just didn't feel like adding an extra gear in. They tend to sit around 3-4k revs on the highway in top gear which is a bit much. Love the form factor though. They really excel around super old suburbs close the cities with small cramped streets and a lot of hills like west of Brisbane.


> for some reason

Maybe Suzuki doesn't want to eat into sales of more-profitable vehicles? Or the regulatory/taxation treatment of "higher speed" vehicles is unfavorable?


Reminds me of when the xbox one came out and everyone was calling it the X bone because it had no games and cost a million bux.


Neat. Some of us in the r/toycameras community use 'Blue4est' which is a thermal paper filled with microscopic bubbles that collapse when exposed to heat as opposed to the endocrine disrupting BPA receipt paper. Another benefit of this paper is that the images can last for about 35 years. Toy cameras are a great gift for kids, and it can be neat for them to look back on the pictures they took from their little perspectives after they have grown up.

Scientists regrowing everything except hair. Fuck my life.


I am hoping for advancements in cartilage growth. I underwent microfracture surgery in my knee and will eventually need a replacement unless we make progress in this field. I would prefer to avoid knee replacement if possible because I enjoy being active. I am hopeful we’re getting close.


Anecdotal, but I was going in for carpal tunnel work and ran into an older gentleman, probably early 70s, that had just gone through a knee replacement a week earlier. He was walking around on it and said he wasn't really in any pain.

I was amazed.

YMMV.


I have heard great things about knee replacements. Unfortunately, I’m relatively young (late 30s). If I were to get a replacement now, I’d likely need another one when I’m older. Additionally, I imagine getting an artificial knee replacement would make you no longer a candidate for lab-grown replacements. There is an option already where they can grow your cartilage in a lab, but it’s quite expensive, and my insurance will not cover it.


Just make sure you won't get one of those implants that cause metal toxicity / dementia:

In the summer my knees were so wrecked I could barely make it up and down the stairs. My GP first thought it was an inflammation and prescribed something for that, but when I went back after a couple of weeks he said the cartilage may have worn off and prescribed me Flexofytol. It may be placebo effect, but between taking it a bit easier, cycling more, and the flexofytol, my knees are the best they've been since I injured them in the first place.


Phase 2 trials on PP405 just completed. They’ll probably begin phase 3 trials sometime next year if you’re looking to enroll.

$4k and a trip to Turkey. I did it last tear and can recommend :)


My meniscus would like a word.


And limbs.


I would say every tissue: no bones, no organs, eyes, ears, nerves, skin.

Like what can they grow?


Well, I'm personally hoping stem cells pull through for corneal tissue regrowth. I've got significant scarring in one eye. I'd rather not get a donor (cadaver) cornea sewn on if it's avoidable but we'll see.

I think they're making progress.


The liver is an exception here - you can grow back a lot of it.


Not many times tho: see cirrhosis


Eh? They can grow skin cultures that are good enough to help burn victims. Not, like, with all the pores and follicles being there, but it is skin…


finasteride + minoxidil


Just keep your mental health in mind - there's growing concern that the link between finasteride and depression has been underestimated [0].

[0] https://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/analytical-review-depressio...


Finasteride can make you have man-boobs, it’s a known side effect


Once the follicle is closed/gone, it’s gone.

Minoxidil won’t help grow hair on a patch of bold skin. After that only hair transplantation


I'm sure you're correct. That said, I saw a friend who went bald at 28 get all of his hair back from Minoxidil + finasteride. Maybe his folicles weren't closed/gone but he was bald and a year later, was not.

Apparently there's also now-a-days, Micro-needling, Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma, and others. No idea how effective they actually are


Well he even had alopecia or he got hair transplant. There is sadly no other option.


What does that mean? Alopecia is the general term for hair loss.


Sorry my bad. It's called that way in where I'm from. The hair loss is mostly due to mechanism similar to pattern baldness but the hair loss can occur even without death of hair follicles. It could also be triggered by some autoimmune disease.


This isn’t the whole story. Many people have follicles that are dormant. Many people have success regrowing hair on bald spots with minoxidil and/or finasteride.

If you look like Sir Patrick Stewart, yeah, that’s not growing back. A bald spot might fill in with medical treatment though.


If you don't have sides that is


Yeah and the last century of capitalism created such a boom of food that it increased the population of the world by like 5 billion people


And created such a boom of medicine that one can assert that the poorest among us should be entitled to it, and not have that assertion dismissed for being literally impossible.


If only the market didn't decide that hundreds of millions of those people don't need to eat


What were they doing before capitalism and how did capitalism stop them?


The answer to more chaos in society is not to become more barbaric.

I look at the death penalty from an esoteric Christian/Anthroposophist perspective. What happens when you choose to just eliminate someone because they did something wrong? Their soul just reincarnates. You are not preventing that being from incarnating again and undergoing the same process and mistakes in a future life. You have done nothing except kick the can down the road and added another wound to their soul by murdering them instead of touching their heart.

In order for evil to no longer exist we have to transubstantiate it, we have to transform it within ourselves and within the world. We have to rehabilitate and heal and learn how to do that with ourselves and others. As long as someone is alive there is an opportunity for them to grow. What do you think you're on this Earth for? Are we here to become more spiritual and grow alike to the Angelic mind and become redeemers of ourselves and others through our knowledge and love of Christ? The only thing that opens hearts is love. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are or what you've done. You are to be loved.

As a culture we don't know what to do with people who are different and we don't know what to do with people who are suffering. Christianity has just become another set of Pharasaic laws instead of something that has sunk into our hearts and this is how you get things like the modern prison system which breeds extremism. These people that operate on such a low level of consciousness where they can only exist in a predator/prey relationship should be sectioned off and undergo a rehabilitation process. Where is the question of rehabilitation in a modern prison system where they are at risk of sexual assault and extortion and violence? What is happening to their souls when they undergo this trauma and how will they look at as humans when they get out?

The death penalty is murder of suffering humans.


Precious Metals


That video is an interesting switch-up from the past 'JP Morgan the silver suppressor' thing that everyone was going with. Now that silver is going up a new uniting belief is required for the silver stackers. Reminds me of the 'Game Stop stock will literally make everyone with a single share a millionaire' strat that had retail investors clamouring to get as much as much as they could and to hold it to the grave no matter how much it dropped. Just two more weeks bro. I think these sorts of videos prey on people without the sophistication to understand financial markets or assets. Everything the AI guy is saying could be 100% true but how would you know? Everything about Gamestop stock was a lie but it had the same sort of ring to it.

I guess eventually people develop enough discernment to say they don't know whats going on, until then slop like this is taken as Gospel.


> Everything the AI guy is saying could be 100% true but how would you know?

Stop talking, start reading.


What? Did you even read the first sentence he wrote?
