Yeah, but you could build two for twice the price!

Thanks for some good news!

That naming does makes sense, given what the treatment does, although I agree they really need to work on their marketing and come up with a term that won’t cause confusion or get the anti-vax folk excitable.

From the article:

“A typical vaccine teaches the human immune system to recognize a virus or bacteria as an enemy that should be attacked. The new “inverse vaccine” does just the opposite: it removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule. While such immune memory erasure would be unwanted for infectious diseases, it can stop autoimmune reactions like those seen in multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, in which the immune system attacks a person’s healthy tissues.”

I can relate to this, but how are you actually preparing yourself?

Are you planning your response to the problem, considering how to improve the outcome for next time, learning from any mistakes you or others may have made to end up there?

Or are you just dwelling on the possible negative outcome that hasn’t happened yet, so you can say ‘Told you so’ to yourself or anyone who will listen after the fact?

Like I said, I can relate to this, but I’m slowly trying to turn my pessimism into something productive.

They’re smarter than us, you say?

I think it definitely comes down to intent.

Me too!

I get unexplainable joy watching scammers get scammed on YouTube.

My favourite scam scammer is kitboga.

Are you going up, though?

Or barely treading water as life keeps throwing obstacles at you?

Yeah, those numbers are very questionable.

But it’s a good cause, and every bit helps, with possibly a significant difference in the local areas targeted.

As much as I despise Facebook, if you’re interested in solar, electricity and generally improving the performance of your home, you should check out the ‘My Efficient Electric Home’ (MEEH) group.

You had me in the first half…

I was keen to try Sync but, after I saw my first ads on Lemmy with it and then saw the cost to remove them, I uninstalled.

I’m actually really happy with Connect, which has everything I want and for free.

Solastalgia (/ˌsɒləˈstældʒə/) is a neologism, formed by the combination of the Latin words sōlācium (comfort) and the Greek root -algia (pain, suffering, grief), that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change.

So that’s what I’ve been feeling lately.

I know, right.

They’re living the dream!

Better than this guy’s job, for sure.

July!

That’s awesome!

And you get to live on forever as soup in the Discworld.

Thanks for that.

I may give it one more shot.

That is fun!

Did you know him personally? What’s the story?

I really tried to get into Bojack after seeing so many recommendations online, but just couldn’t.

I like animation, I like clever dialogue and introspective drama. I’m fine with anti-heroes.

But I just didn’t like any of the characters enough to care about their issues and how, or if they would be resolved.

What is the key takeaway that I’m missing by not watching?
