Yeah, the bionic hand is great and all, but what in the actual fuck does it have to do with Star Wars? Besides the one throwaway sentence at the start of the article, nothing. Fluffy bullshit is bullshit. Here's a better link (to a PDF) from The Lancet:

No more page views for clickbaiting whores from Telegraph, please.

My bike riding frequency has infinitely increased (division by zero) since they brought in the uBikes. It's a government run bike rental system. The first half an hour is free every time, so you can actually save money on your commute pretty frequently.

TFA lost me at the first sentence:

When the manuscript crossed his desk, Joshua Plotkin, a theoretical biologist at the University of Pennsylvania, was immediately intrigued.

Remind me again why I care about some dude's reaction.

Is it actually necessary to the function that it look like random shit dug out of a junk heap, or was that a stylistic choice? And no, it absolutely does not have a fucking "cool N64 base". It looks like shit in a vaguely block shape.

Which gets me to thinking: with free electricity, wouldn't that be a great business opportunity, to build a cloud of servers in poorer Greeks' basements? Maybe that is the real plan behind the free electricity idea.

How the fuck did you even make that logical leap?

The fact that someone calls him/her "Sandy" isn't useful information to me since we're not going to hang out and shoot the shit. Trim useless information from the summary.

Two tangentially stories seem to have been mashed together via short excerpts that lack context and don't make sense together as a single paragraph. Is there some point to either of the linked articles, or should I assume they're just as bad?

That's... probably more sexist than what they're attempting to study. What they're saying is that either women are incapable of brilliance, or they're so insecure that they get scared off by big hefty expectations. Holy shit, guys. Was this found in a time capsule from the 50s or something?

Now they're actually trying to bury the fact that Benny Hill is writing this verbal diarrhea by neglecting to put the warning in the summary we all got used to seeing. So before Ben 10 shows up and whines "but wut i r wrong about?", you're wrong about the entire fucking premise. None of these are bugs. Also, you're an idiot.
