Psycho-active pharmacological effects come from dozens of substances working together in the source of each drug. To pull just one gene from 5 difference drug sources seems like a "can this be done?" experiment, not a procedure aimed at producing a desired product.

Looks like the contraptions in Ghost Busters.

Thank you for setting this straight, as the term 'dark' in these comments has been used more than a few different ways.

Is the proposed 'dark matter' stuff that behaves unusually and so is something not understood, or is it just normal matter, perhaps of unexpected chemical or nuclear composition (for example with lots less hydrogen around), without the energy to illuminate itself.

"You don't eat meat? I'll make lamb."

Is there any longer-term study of people eating lab-grown meat (nearly) every day?
It's not animal meat, and it will surely have differences, either things missing or substances in it that animal meat doesn't have.
I'd be wary that I'm eating something that might be found to be harmful or anti-nutritious over time.
You can probably season it, in a curry or in a stew, so the taste isn't a factor (might even find some dishes that compliment it!), but I'd want to know it's not going to harm me.

USB CD drives are plentiful and cheap, so far.
Ripped files are so durable and so much easier to manipulate for listening that I don't care what vinyl sounds like.

I've noticed the occasional hugely padded helmet on the field, I suspect for use by players with previous concussions.
And I wonder why, if these padded helmets improve safety for the wearer, why isn't every player using them?

We live with technology that enables nearly free sharing of beneficial things, but we can't fully use it without working through the ownership/profit/survival/class thing.
That thing is bigger than this technology highlighting it.

Hard to believe in this environment of authoritarian overstep, Congress would advance a mandate that enables "law enforcement" to disable your car.

They've already swallowed major fantasy improbables based on what they're told, how to interpret their book, what local leaders say, and not their own assessment of reality.
So if anyone can believe the nonsense that the guy guilty of fraud, rape, money laundering, theft, constant lying, serial adultery, ignorant of church and church teachings, is actually a savior picked by God, it could be these guys.

Lazuli isn't up there yet, so we don't yet know how bad the mistakes are, if any.

Oh, but they'll never put ads on art screens (rolls eyes).

Public health mandates save tens of thousands of lives, many many more hospitalizations. Get over yourself.

Um, the guy at the top was using loyalty oaths 6 years ago. We're already into the Concentration Camp stage of fascism, with warrantless & process-free seizure adding a little drama to being off-white: they're taking you just because, not telling anyone where or why, that birth certificate or passport could be fake - bye.
Next is shooting people who disagree, on a whim and in the street.
