I talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me.......

Think I've seen that in a movie.

This dude is turning chickens back into terrifying dinosaurs by turning off genes and I need his ass to stop. He's already got them with teeth and they're working on the tail.

Why? I don't want that. No one needs that.

In 3001: The Final Odyssey, humans had resurrected dromaeosaurs. But they had engineered them to be docile and intelligent. They were employed to be gardeners, maids, and nannies.

I want a deinonychus as a personal valet. And bodyguard.

This is literally just a scarier even more dangerous chicken.

And chickens are already dicks. Nobody's gonna have no chicken-saurus maid.

“People think a new building is earthquake-proof. But really, all it’s supposed to do is not collapse and kill you”

Provided it's built appropriately.

But, I don't know what the "design" earthquake is for Ridgecrest, CA, but I'm betting it's severely higher than an M7.1. Regardless, many people are surprised at the lack of damage.

This isn't the most recent article, but it seems relevant. Engineers testing seismic cloaks to shield buildings and cities from earthquakes.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/earthquake-shields/

I read about the principles behind seismic cloaks soon after metamaterials and EM cloaking became all the rage. Seems last year that engineers put it to a real world test.

How'd They Calculate That?

Analysis of Movement in Oral Sex Performed Upon Men

Abstract

In this work, we seek to quantify the “common” or “typical” movements involved in oral sex performed on males. To do so, we analyze a dataset containing over 108 hours of pornographic video, annotated at each frame with the position of the lips along the shaft of the penis. We use quantization techniques to discover sixteen distinct motions, and using these motions we design and evaluate a system that procedurally generates realistic movement sequences using deep learning. We quantitatively show that this system is superior to simple Markov Chain techniques.

To our knowledge, this kind of analysis of pornographic content has never been done before. Results from this analysis lay the ground for future research.

This study was commissioned by Very Intelligent Ecommerce Inc. as part of the design of the Autoblow AI. The authors of this paper have chosen to remain anonymous.

"About 900 million years ago, a black hole probably swallowed up a dead star. Last week, the resulting ripples in space and time were finally detected on Earth.

If these scientific observations are confirmed, the cosmic collision would be the first example of a black hole colliding with a neutron star, possibly offering new insights into the expansion of the universe."
