I was thinking the same thing!

It's also focused on x-rays instead of the visible spectrum. I would hazard a guess that the resolution requirements for this are vastly different in scale compared to photography.

No matter how much you simp, big pony boy Putin isn't going to pick you for his pony play. Move on, plenty of other big hard father daddies out there for you.

I got the sense he meant more that it would go up through business-side committees to double check the work and make sure it wasn't inappropriate. If that was the case that again would be an indication of corporations being risk adverse.

I listened to much of the interview on the radio. He touched on a lot of good points and then came to the absolutely wrong conclusion. He talked about how many writing rooms are "writing by committee" where jokes will go through a review by many different groups. If this is truly the case (I don't know) that is not an issue if the "far left mob" but rather the enshitification of comedy due to corporations and Wall Street bankrolling these productions wanting to ensure return on investment. This kills creativity by reducing risks. Topical comedy is a risky medium by default.

Also, shout out to Rob McElhenney for his sarcastic one word response. In Jerry's imagined world, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia can't exist.

Alien hand syndrome makes me believe this. Usually occurs when something traumatic happens to the brain. The way it's described seems like the dominant consciousness losing control of that motor function to the lesser consciousness.

"Many same-sex friends had these. We believe it was a sign to show they were just roommates"

What a wonderful rabbit hole to go down. My takeaways are it could possibly be used for knitting, but traditional spool knitting that the Grandma uses in the video doesn't show up in history until the 1500s. If the Romans did use it for gloves then knitting has been around much longer than we have evidence of or they were using a different method with the dodecahedron.

Jesse Plemons character in one of the Fargo seasons did this.

That would be amazing. I grew up in the 80s/90s. I remember all the hype about the ozone and we as a society were able to change course and solve the problem.

Another thing we need to do as a society is recognize and praise the efforts that are being done to encourage those that are doing it and hopefully encourage more to follow in their steps.
