I’m not sure what they were doing needed FDA approval since it was a blood test and not something that actually goes into or touches a patient. Though I’m not expert on medical regulations so thats just a guess.

For some reason she still has her parents address on there even though its been like 20 years so should be good

Damn I was hoping that Donkey Kong finally gave up his crippling banana addiction and took up drawing comics.

Doesn’t look like the internal storage can be though it does have a microSD slot.

Same here, I did love that the gamers nexus video opened with a comparison of the terms and privacy policy of meta and valve just to show how buying a Quest may be cheaper but it costs a lot more than the money you exchange for it.

No idea but I did sign up for the 1TB in the hopes that it is less popular so my odds are better but it could also be the case that they produced way less so who knows. Luckily my wife has her own steam account so I had her sign up for the 256 model just to increase my odds. Only planning on buying one so if I somehow get picked for both I will just let it drop to the next person in the list I suppose.

Yeah unfortunately a lot of this research was performed or funded by the dept of energy which currently doesn’t exist anymore. Luckily though since these types of patents generate a good amount of money I haven’t really seen as much a of significant scale back in it from universities like some other fields, at least from people I know who do this sort of work. They are mostly keeping all the people doing it on and just scaling back on new equipment and buildings and things like that. Talking with people they are mostly just biding their time until the next election as most of this was done as executive orders so it can be undone the same way even if it takes years to rebuild. It does just suck that one of the two major political parties decided to make anti-intelligence and anti-science their main personality though it remains to be seen whether it stays that way once their dear leader is gone from power and given his health hopefully gone from the living world.

I always see comments under posts like these with people proclaiming that ASML/europe should just ignore these demands or asking why the US could even make these in the first place but most people just hear about the companies/machines and don’t really understand the situation.

First ASML did not really become the sole provider of high end lithography because they were the absolute best or anything its just that they were the last one standing after decades of mergers and acquisitions consolidated the industry to just a single company. So even though they are incorporated in the netherlands and build the machines and do a lot of their work there they rely on lots of engineering work from around the world and very heavily from inside the US from companies that were merged into them.

More important than that though ASML is mostly an engineering/manufacturing company but before it gets to the point of designing and building these machines it requires years to decades of scientific research and the vast majority of that research is done in the US. In some cases it is US corporations like IBM and universities who do a lot of this but also the US government funds/performs a lot of this as well. So many of the early EUV patents are actually owned by the US government and licensed to ASML so going against the wishes of the US govt could risk being cut off from those patents. Even if you think they should just ignore the patents and build them anyway that would still cut them off from future research.

From the perspective of ASML even if they don’t like this they really don’t have a lot of choice but to do it and it probably does not have a huge short term effect on them financially anyway since they are already booked up for years in advance so they really only miss out on things like service contracts.

This is why I use Zed as an alternative with the added upside that Zed runs about 500x better than VSCode

Maybe the spray has PCP in it so you just don’t care about being shot.

Eagles will eat just about anything they physically can so probably lots of squirrels, rabbits, smaller possums and raccoons but also eagles will sometimes eat carrion so I could certainly imagine they sometimes get this off something like a deer carcass.

You say that until someone pulls the classic prank of swapping all your mango atoms with uranium-235.

I do sometimes wonder what the ads say but like you I can’t be bothered to learn Australian.

I’m one of those low percentage of non east asian people who have this and it is indeed nice especially since I’m allergic to most deodorants. The hard ear wax does sometimes cause me issues during allergy season though so its not all good.

It only looks like US currency doesn’t have counterfeit protection features if you only see it in movies or in pictures there are actually a lot of little things that make it difficult to counterfeit. First is its made of a specific cotton linen blend that has a very distinct feel and if you handle cash regularly you can absolutely tell just by touch if it is printed on regular paper and there are markers you can buy that react with it to verify the material is correct. Parts of the bills are also printed in special color shifting holographic inks that would be very difficult to duplicate on a small scale. The hardest one though is there are lots of things that only show up on the bill when you hold it up to the light like a different portrait of the president on the bill in the lower right hand and a strip that is between the layers that has the denomination printed on it. There are also numerous other small things that add up to make counterfeiting quite difficult. They don’t do of of these on $1 bills though since its not worth counterfeiting anyway.

tldr; there is actually a lot of security features on US currency also I don’t know why I know all of this or why I’m bother to post it to shitpost.

Actually not much more I think disney + ad free tier is like $16 now. Though I don’t think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.

There is actually a licensed moopsy plush https://www.masterreplicas.com/en-us/collections/star-trek/products/star-trek-lower-desks-moopsy-plush-10inch

It can be two things

Unfortunately I don’t have a genesis Game Genie or Action Replay to really spice it up
