Don't be shitty at me, TP. I don't tell people what to think, I only make the observations.

It was pretty average in the city today, but I didn't notice any impact on breathing, just visibility and smell.

This is both really cool and frightens shit out of me.

Quote:
What happens when you take cells from frog embryos and grow them into new organisms that were "evolved" by algorithms? You get something that researchers are calling the world's first "living machine."

Though the original stem cells came from frogs — the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis — these so-called xenobots don't resemble any known amphibians. The tiny blobs measure only 0.04 inches (1 millimeter) wide and are made of living tissue that biologists assembled into bodies designed by computer models, according to a new study.

These mobile organisms can move independently and collectively, can self-heal wounds and survive for weeks at a time, and could potentially be used to transport medicines inside a patient's body, scientists recently reported.

"They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal," study co-author Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont, said in a statement. "It's a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism."


Great. Organic robots. Why am I thinking Terminator or Blade runner?

Those things make me feel ok about not being around in 50 years. Or at least, less not ok with it.

Busy, busy, busy in the Emergency Department last night / afternoon / evening as per usual.

One guy brought in by Police was obviously substance affected. After I introduced myself ( just to get a picture & release the Police) I asked him how much ice he’d used. He said 6 points in 2 days as well as some MDMA earlier in the day FFS. ( One point = 0.1 of a gram - usually enough for 1-2 days)

Discharged today after some sedation & he’ll bounce back in the near future depending on how much he uses again

( the same applies to alcoholics / alcohol abusers)

Just another installment in why the Guardian is a rag that should be considered below the Onion and WPT's favourite the Beetrooter advocate as a serious news source

^ It's getting a bit that way, isn't it? I saw something the other day that basically could have been a Daily Mail headline (something about the bloody royals, probably). Really need to wean myself off it, but there aren't too many other obvious options, unfortunately.
