Medical Marvel: Human Cells Transformed Into Tiny Biological Robots The multicellular bots move around and help heal “wounds” created in cultured neurons. Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have created tiny biological robots that they call Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and have been found to encourage the growth of neurons across a region of damage in a lab dish. The multicellular robots, ranging in size from the width of a human hair to the point of a sharpened pencil, were made to self-assemble and shown to have a remarkable healing effect on other cells. The discovery is a starting point for the researchers’ vision to use patient-derived biobots as new therapeutic tools for regeneration, healing, and treatment of disease.

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A new report by Baltimore's Office of the Inspector General revealed that a worker in the Department of Public Works created a fake job offer to try to get a raise at their current job. According to the report, the department was interested in matching the offer from another government agency to keep the employee. But when the Department of Public Works contacted the other government agency about the offer, that agency told DPW that the offer appeared fake, wrote Inspector General Isabel Cumming in her report.

Poor Susan Sarandan, she never had a personal opinion in her life, she just said the appropriate, right things. Until now when it had consequences by other people who could make their displeasure stick and burn.
I suspect she has no idea what just happened and must be in a very scary world, she didn't understand why she had the opinions she expressed, only that she was supposed to give them to everyone. She would have been better off having her own opinion and sticking to it. remember kids, don't be Susan Posted by: Kindltot at December 03, 2023 10:08 PM (D7oie) 41

One of my cow-workers wanted a raise. So he told the boss he had a big cash offer in hand from another company.

Banning ski masks to discourage crime seems lame though. How about "people and stores are free to exercise 2nd amendment rights with extreme prejudice on anyone threatening violence against them"

The New Oxford American Dictionary listed tase, or "taze" as one of the words of the year for 2007, popularized by the widespread use of Meyer's phrase. Meyer registered "Don't tase me, bro" as a trademark in September 2007.[3]

Well I didn't read the full article behind "banning ski masks in public" and I've never been in Philly, but I'd guess they do get some cold wind there at times. Just seems wrong to me to have the city say "no ski masks in public" Maybe "no ski masks inside any public building or public transport" But if some dood is walking down the street in a ski mask when its cold out I'll judge the risk level by watching his hands. And if it's mild I don't think the gub'mint should take away the publics' early warning signal if the criminal is dumb enough to stick with ski mask instead of surgical mask and hoodie.

Owen Benjamin 🐻 @OwenBenjamin I’d never be in favor of the persecution of Jews. But what I am in favor of is breaking their permanent and absurd victim status that allows them to do horrible crimes in plain sight. It’s why I hammer the Holocaust and their insane justifications for the war and financial crimes. Plenty of Jews not doing crimes, and persecuting a demographic for the crimes of a few is evil. But…the Jewish identity being a shield for crime should be permanently ended.

I got my "outside Studebaker" started and moved into the shop today. Initially, it started right up, and I said to myself, "Hey, I got this in the bag." Then it quit. And would not run, except if I sprayed brake cleaner in the carb. Added fuel to the tank. No joy. Checked the electric fuel pump; it was pumping OK. Took the carb off, and opened it up. All OK. Put the carb back on. It started up, ran for half a minute, and quit, same as before. Turned out the old Wix fuel filter had come apart inside, and was shedding debris to block the fuel inlet to the carb. New fuel filter, new hoses. It started up, and ran well enough for me to drive it in the shop. Win!

A man worked out of an old auto parts store.
He did one thing, overhauled carburetors. He would guarantee his work. He had a V8 Ford engine on blocks, exhaust running out the side of the building. He would mount your carb on the engine and demonstrate that it was in working order. The caveat, all the screws and connectors were covered with a paste - if any of the past was displaced the warranty was void. One was also required to install a fuel filter before the fuel pump and one after. His rebuilt carbs were better than factory new. Posted by: Braenyard at December 03, 2023 11:04 PM (Iqq2R) 212

Pushbutton Transmissions might've vanished.
But the Rotary Knob selector is a major thing in all of Ford's trucks (when equipped with automatic transmission). Same with "Ram" (MOPAR). Not sure about Chebby/GMC. Similarly, I'm not sure which cars might also be so equipped. My boss' 2020 Expedition Max is powered by the 3.5L Twin Turbo Eco-Max engine, spinning through a TEN speed automatic transmission. Some engineering, there. You really never feel it shift, but it's always in the right RPM range for the job at hand. Impressive, that.

The Varsity blues scandal is baffling to me. If your kid couldn't get into a good school on their own merits, what were they going to do once you got them in by cheating? Suddenly become leading scholars of their generation? It's kind of like that line in 'Ghostbusters': "I've been in the private sector. They expect results."
One thing I've noticed is that many of the parents involved don't have serious educational attainment themselves. Huffman was born into wealth and became a professional theater kid at the first opportunity out of high school. Lori Loughlin (who was born roughly simultaneously to me but at opposite ends of the country) started acting in her teens. Her fashion mogul husband lied to his parents and spent his tuition money to launch his hugely successful business. do these highly successful people have an inferiority complex about their educations? Is that pushing them into this path. Sadly, Loughlin's daughter was already making well into the six figures as an influencer before the scandal broke and lost all of her sponsors. She could have made millions in her youth and pursued academics later if it became of interest. Posted by: Epobirs at December 03, 2023 11:26 PM (FVY8+) 247

My mom had a 1957 Dodge Mayfair (a Finned beast) back in my youth. On Super rainy days she used to shuttle me around the neighborhood on my paper route (as I could not do it on my bike)...delivering the daily while I sat in the trunk with the lid at half mast and tossing papers sleeved in a plastic tube to keep them from getting wet on the driveway. Though some often did and the black rotary Ma Bell phone in my childhood kitchen would ring frequently with complaints of "WET PAPERS!!" And then I would have to go out in the storm in my rainsuit...walking...to deliver a dry one. Thankfully it was only one or two.

Loved the job except for the annual denials he had to issue to students who had every life experience and credential to rule the world. Places like Stanford brag to their brethren schools about the percentage of applications they deny: "We deny 97.6 percent of our applications." "Oh yeah? Well, we deny 98.2 per cent!" The guy would field calls from very connected parents threatening to ruin him personally over the denial, and he agreed that these young people had the creds to have every door open to them, because these are the kind of young minds that would benefit society in the long run.

The big Mercury Turnpike Cruiser also had push-button shift. And PRNDL vs PNDLR isn't quite accurate in the article, since International continued to use the "Studebaker" pattern after 1964, and the government was known to obtain vehicles from them.
But, the push button was just a way of actuating an automatic. There were other totally different transmissions -- the Wilson Pre-Selector, several versions of the Model T planetary (I've had them, on IH and Gravely tractors), and now the variable ratio CV. There were also several fluid links to augment or replace the clutch before the one we're used to now, and a vacuum-actuated system used by Buick and Mercedes. This doesn't count other variables like the worm-drive Schact-LeBlond my dad learned on, or, lest we forget, the Laycock-deNormanville electric overdrive unit.

On the other end of the spectrum, was the Honda Cub based engine, running from 50cc to 110cc, as found in the Cub, the Trail 90 or Trail 110.
Also, in the Trail 70 MiniBike of early '70s renown. You did have to manually shift gears. But you didn't need to manipulate a clutch. The Trail 90/110, also had a Dual Range transmission. Four primary ratios, shift from L to H range, and there's four different ratios. You did have to have the gearbox in Neutral though, to effect the change between gear ranges. Fun Times!

There are some...ah, things in his family relationships that caused his name to fall out of currency.

I remember a great many Jap bikes of that era. One outstanding aspect of the Honda bikes of those times. Probably the best factory paint on any mass market motorcycles, of all time. I exclude the post AMF Harleys from this, as soon into the '80s, a lot of their paint was, though "stock", Custom to Order. They might've made 19,000 Road Kings that year, but only XXX were the Phantom Grey Fade with Red pinstriping (or, you describe any other)... Honda's 1970s paint was usually TWO color choices per model year, lotsa two tone jobs, but just simply PERFECT execution, every time.

Posted by: Romeo13 at December 04, 2023 12:12 Dammit R13, you are making me do math, isn't that against the rooles? In 1973 I went collidge and turned 18 in Oct, I could legally drink beer and wine then, not hard likker. I then had a summer job in Rockford, worked 4-12 painting in a factory. So when we got off we raced to S Beloit where they were open till 2. I recall thinking $1 for a draft beer seemed pricey there. At the time I worked at a college bar and drafts were 25 cents during happy hour, 75 cents regular. Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...

Morning, all you insomaniacals! Woke up about an hour before the alarm -- not unusual when I've had even a short nap the afternoon before. Which I did.
After a rainy Saturday, 'tis 61 F. outside, good workout weather, dry and clear, wind (I was told) pretty much NW. That should mean I'll have the wind on my beam as I walk/trot east and west. On the downside, Monday, and I have an errand to run after work. Tiring to even think of it. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 04, 2023 03:16 AM (omVj0) 355
I am locked out of almost everything.
These people with far reach are taking over everything. The shit they know and the things they do without permission is... yeah. I can't sleep most nights. They've given me some drugs to help. I feel like a Lithium battery now which means sleep is almost impossible. What am supposed to do with all of this ? They won't even let me drive unless they get in a mess.

Speaking of guitar purchases, Doc Hammer, half of the duo behind the amazing 'The Venture Brothers' TV series, is apparently a huge fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees. He acquired the guitar long used by their lead player in shows. It's funny hearing him interviewed because he so frequently sounds like Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, who he voices in the show, among others.
