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

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.”

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?

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.

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?

In the same vein:

“20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your children"

I love Kim Stanley Robinson in general and really enjoyed one of his earlier works, ‘Pacific Edge’.

Whilst it’s the third in his ‘Three California’s Trilogy’, each book is stand-alone and set in a different ‘future’ so have no direct baring on one another. I didn’t enjoy the other two books quite as much, but they were good in their own ways.

I recently listened to the audiobooks of this and its sequel, ‘A Prayer for the Crown Shy’ for free on Libby.

It made a very nice change from my usual dark dystopian sci fi reads…
