That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.

I don’t understand

Convenience store employees are unlikely to see it that way lol.

In case you’re curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.

They are a lot more obvious if you look at bright surfaces, such as the sky, so one factor may be that you’re not outside as much.

I don’t think they’re supposed to go away; rather the contrary, but who knows.

One thing I do know though: if the amount increases noticeably, it could be a sign of something bad, so get that checked out.

How would you tackle that? Unless you build a really intelligent system that’s allowed to interpret and reword and understand the significance (or lack thereof) of emojis in context, it sounds tough. Like, generally speaking, you just wouldn’t be able to tell how important an emoji is to the message, when writing an algorithm.

That’s pretty impressive. I hadn’t even thought oral treatments were possible!

It’s amazing.

I wish you were wrong. But…

CRISPR makes gene editing easier, but unless you’ve got a way to deliver it to every cell, it won’t do much unless you’re targeting such a small number of cells that it’s realistic to have a technician physically inject it into a cell.

That would work for an embryo. Ignoring the plethora of ethical issues and the lack of data on long-term effects, it would probably be pretty easy for a scientist to make the change in an embryo and then go through the normal in-vitro fertilization procedure.

For a whole organism, though, it’s more difficult. One obvious solution is a specially modified virus, and that’s under research.

There’s a lot of stuff here if you want to dive deep:

It’s speculation, but from my experience with Accutane I can infer the following possibility:

• an earwax blockage could get worse because of dry earwax depending on the particular ear

Also speculation:

• if there’s fewer lipids in sweat, you keep those fats, and potentially you lose less weight.

A Climate Town video convinced me natural gas actually manages to be worse.

Natural gas is methane, and it’s extremely hard to handle that without having any leaks, ever. And since methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas, it doesn’t take that much leaked gas to cross the line into “worse than coal”.

And there are lots of leaks.

Well there’s a pretty easy fix unless it’s an extreme case. Razor and antiperspirant (or just deodorant if you’re worried about aluminium).

Maybe she’s used to it. Maybe it’s not that bad to her. Or maybe she just thinks it’s impolite to point it out.

Maybe you’re right and you really don’t smell much. But most cases I’ve seen actually did smell.

For a few months, while I was taking Accutane, my earwax turned dry and flaky. It was awesome. It would come out much more easily, it wouldn’t accumulate, and for once my ears stopped producing so much liquid. But I imagine depending on your unique body, it could make things quite a bit worse if you manage to get an earwax blockage.

Disclaimer: do not take Accutane for more than a few months, unless your doctor really knows what they’re doing. Apparently there are significant risks associated with long-term usage.

And pure speculation, but I imagine if you’re not excreting that fat, you might lose a tiny bit less weight when exercising?

We can do this on isolated cells, but I really don’t think we have a way to distribute such a change across the zillions of cells in a human body.

And even if we could, it’s not clear how much effect altering the gene after the fact would have. Maybe once your apocrine glands have obeyed the gene and developed a certain way, it’s too late.

That said… Sign me the hell up.

I mean it was hardly news to begin with.

My company used to allow it, but then it became clear people were doing too many dumb things with their work computers to control them normally. For example, some people would explicitly turn their PCs off without updating the OS every Friday and were nearly a year out of date.

That, plus other security concerns I don’t remember surrounding the tightening of our policies for security certifications required to net a very demanding client, made it so that we needed to institute mobile device management (MDM) for everything.

We went with Microsoft’s version because there were some crucial things I forgot that only it could do. But it didn’t support Linux.

So our few people using Linux had to choose between Windows and Mac OS.

Aw, they’re bad now? I was looking forward to going back to OnePlus when my current phone dies.

Wait they’re still adding natural gas? Geez.

Hmm, but then we’re outwardly dissing it and we can’t confidently put it in serious reporting.

And aren’t technically respectful disses the best?
