An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

at least there's a mild comfort that most people that are important to my life don't think mass murder is good somehow

the whole space thing was mostly a personal joy for me but i'm hoping for a day within a reasonable distance where i can be excited about space things without having to have a twinge in the back of my head going "but it may all come down tomorrow because they thirst for blood today"

Cheaters think everyone cheats, and people who cheat at writing by using AI think the same.

If you don't like writing, don't be a writer!

i don't know what you mean *stares in PG&E*

like honestly, these things have zero public or private utility, it's just a flex to pray that no one discovers that their industry is a sham, stop giving them things

consider: just say you will stop supplying energy to the data center and let them figure it out

Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.

Dune yo mom, and yo dad.

i'm going with wishful thinking for this one, we'll see though

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

also you're pretty cool, and we quote and think about you all the time still, which isn't your art but it's you instead lol

also xal'capone so basically i was bribed to write this

i like that i can recognize your style, and that you spend a lot of time on the way your characters dress in detail with an intent on style and fit
