To grow meat, you "just" need to coax stem cells into dividing and specializing into muscle cells. Blood is way more complicated, red blood cells can't divide by themselves (they don't have a nucleus with DNA). They are normally produced in the bone marrow, where they go through a complicated maturation lifecycle. Replicating all the biochemical triggers for that is not easy.

GM is laser-focused on bankrupting itself. It has shot itself in the foot by removing CarPlay/Android Auto from new models, now it's killing a near-future money-making machine. They should also announce that they are going to stop the work on all EVs to complete the picture.

At least we have Waymo in the US to compete with China. A monopoly isn't great, but at least it'll be a domestic company.

People who download Deepseek-R1 propose jail time for Seantor Hawley.

Yeah, the key difference is that Airbus is not outsourcing to get the lowest costs. They are doing it for purely political reasons.

And? I actually know store owners who had to lock up the cabinets. They were literally losing money, and now they're breaking even.

What "proper effort"? Can you describe what exactly the stores should do?

Let me introduce you to Seattle, SF, and Portland. Their shoplifting has not subsided.

There's no conspiracy, shops understand the importance of impulse buying, and the store managers absolutely loathe locking up items. But they literally lose money if they don't, they can't raise prices high enough to pay for the "shrinkage" and still sell enough goods.

Nah. This is just the regular urban edgy bros showing off. Once self-driving cars become more widespread and people start to realize that they completely solve the public transit issues, these super-edgy oh-so-anarchist bros will be dealt with swiftly.

This actually is a good take. They are not securities, just collectible items. Their entire worth is from perceived scarcity and perceived value.

My Tesla Model S from 2015 has 85% of range, and 160000 miles on the odometer. It's on the original battery, although the drive unit was replaced under warranty once.

Really? If it's just good old NaCl, then why would it affect salmon?

What "failing mental health"? Biden is as fine as expected at his age, unlike certain elected felons. You're just repeating propaganda that was poured into your brain by that Republican machine of sewage pumping.

McCain voted for pretty much every repugnant Republican policy. He was fine with abusing the filibuster to hamstring Obama, and he voted in lockstep with the rest of the Republicans in the Senate most of the time.

That's why Bluesky is great. It represents moderation as a layer on top of the content. If you don't like Bluesky's moderators, you can switch to something else.

The _vast_ majority of Republicans are just as repugnant now as they have always been. That's why this tale of "honorable conservative" is ridiculous. It's a mythical animal.
