Lab-grown meat.

“In 2013, the world’s first cultivated meat burger was served at a news conference in London. It allegedly cost $330,000 to make. That figure has plummeted in the almost-decade since, but cell-grown proteins are yet to clock in anywhere close to the same price as conventional meats.” (Source: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/lab-grown-meat)

The goal is to get the price down to a level the average supermarket shopper can afford, and if the science is successful it has the potential to revolutionize the food chain.

Homeless kids deserve childhoods too, but can’t help thinking there must be higher priority items than sending them to Disney. A tragedy of this story is maybe those grants wouldn’t have been diverted and could have been stretched further had they been spent on more useful things.

So basically like my dad but with 24 more jokes.

In fairness, it’s kind of a freaky concept. Real meat, yet no animal was killed to provide it. Doesn’t sound like it should be possible. I can’t wait to try it.

That’s aloha money

I read this headline as tongue-in-cheek given he’s better known for the work you mentioned. Gave me a chuckle.

While I agree with your second point, I think the article is arguing that healthcare access will be made harder for indigenous people because they’re more likely to speak English or Inuktitut than other parts of the population. Even though Inuktitut is not available in most cases, a multilingual health care system makes it more accessible.

I generally agree, but one counter example I keep thinking of is Wikipedia. Massively successful site with few rivals despite being a nonprofit. I imagine a social media app could build some degree of success with that model. The main obstacles to my mind are a good UI/UX and a community funding approach sufficient to keep ahead of growth. It’s not yet clear whether Lemmy is “the one” to provide either. As great as the fediverse concept is, it’s harder to use and to consolidate funding for than it perhaps should be.

The feature for locating a ‌Siri‌ Remote works with the second-generation or later version of the device, and tvOS 17 is required as well.

I’m not a mod but am pretty sure this is opinion, not news. Therefore not allowed in this sub.

When people riot over pensions or living conditions it’s because it affects them directly. Here it’s just squabbling over who gets to sit in the PM’s chair. Not surprising nobody wants to riot over which unlikable politician gets a promotion.

Crash mode was sort of like Angry Birds but with exploding cars and 10x the production value. You’d get score multipliers for causing the most damage possible.

I’m inclined to agree, at least initially. I suspect it’ll depend on how much demand and competition there is in the field once it’s democratized. The other consideration is extraneous factors (e.g. soaring price of meat due to climate change) that could make lab-grown the cheapest/best option eventually.

Haven’t played it, but wasn’t there a Borderlands 3 a few years ago?

Ah, shame. Is it still worth a shot for someone who’s coming in fresh? I haven’t played any of the games in this series but to enjoy a good shooter.
