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.

The exhibit A for this is the 60s Penn Station in Manhattan. They kept the basic functionality of the station but by putting it in a bunch of tunnels they turned it into a claustrophobic, unpleasant place.

The part that makes people skeptical is the fact that Google has their own competing next gen format. The fact that they went to the trouble of supporting it, then axed support, is a very fishy look.

Reply to comment by Vtguy802812 in Aeromine says they have solved many of the problems that have long made domestic rooftop wind power compare poorly to solar panels. They claim their "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price while taking up just 10% of the roof space. by lughnasadh
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.

It seems that Hipparchus’ measurements were so precise and accurate that the researchers were able to use procession — a phenomenon he apparently discovered — to date the observation to the era of his life. Pretty incredible work.

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.
