We went to see Neil deGrasse Tyson in Hershey tonight. He was great. 

FDA approves first CRISPR therapy—here’s how it works against sickle cell

The landmark treatment turns on another blood protein that prevents sickling.

 

For patients being treated, this process involves first harvesting their bone marrow stem cells, which then get CRISPR-ed in a specialized lab. Meanwhile, the patients receive chemotherapy to kill bone marrow cells to make way for the gene-edited cells that are then put back in. Of 31 patients treated with Cagevy and followed for at least 24 months, 29 (93.5 percent) went at least 12 consecutive months without a vaso-occlusive crisis.

There are two massive 'cool' spots on the Sun right now.

The resulting solar storms should hit in 3 days, with the dead waking up over the following 72 hours.

It's awesome from a scientific standpoint, but also cause it means we get to watch EagleVA get even more unhinged than usual about space travel and the firmament.

Unhinged?  No one that believes in space travel (dumb people) could ever unhinged me.

I just came in for a few laughs from people that think they're following the science because they're too dumb to realize they're following the money, you see, science is for sale. 

Replying to a 3+ year old post to claim space travel is fake is proof that you're the most hingedest of all of us.

They used CRISPER technology in the covid vaccines, for those dumb enough to take the jab, congratulations, you're no longer who you were, your DNA has been modified.

You see a 3+ year old post, I see a lie......lies have no age for those that believe them, they live forever in the believer's mind.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you...then they laugh at you...and then they laugh at you....then, finally, they keep laughing at you.

Thanks, man. It was a tough choice, many sleepless nights were spent contemplating it, tossing and turning restlessly, but I feel like I got it right in the end. Hopefully that sort of decision never has to be made again for myself, or my kids. It was way too stressful!

Oh, touche. So how old is the earth again? No need to be precise, you can use round numbers.

It's approaching 6000 years, the end is near.

You see, one of the biggest lies ever told was billions and billions of years, it's alive and kicking in most minds of the world.

I had no idea WiFi had an alliance 

The Wi-Fi Alliance is now officially certifying devices that support Wi-Fi 7, the next generation of wireless home internet

All the standardized wireless protocols do: Bluetooth, NFC, Zigbee, Z-wave, etc. That's how almost all the non-proprietary standards get agreed upon in the first place.
