Several people I know have had to severely limit their screen time during brain injury recovery. How do you make sure that rehabilitation that uses screens does not cause problems for these types of people? Is there any tech being created expressly to help those with visual processing issues post TBI?

I remember being under a huge number like this one time, and it felt like it was lightly raining. I think it was tiny urea crystals (their pee, which is dry) but I’m not an entomologist.

It would violate the laws of physics. Over 100% of the power it generates would be coming from… the battery it is feeding power back to, with a whole lot of losses due to friction, etc. It is simply not possible and no amount of “it would be cool” will ever make it possible.

Good but not surprising news, as the bivalent boosters are designed expressly to give better protection than the original versions of the vaccines against Omicron. Otherwise there would be no purpose in making them.

Note that this article is not comparing Moderna and Pfizer. One expects both of them to be better than the previous rounds of vaccine against Omicron, which is what this research shows.

OK, ethics and morality are part of nature because humans are a part of nature. I don’t see how that changes anything else about this discussion. Humans still have a sense of right and wrong that does not (as far as we know) exist elsewhere in nature.

In any case you are now getting into semantics. What does “right” even mean if not morally and/or ethically acceptable? If it simply means “what is” then it has no meaning, since nothing that exists can be wrong.
