It's science reporting and not immune to headline inflation, but it's not a lie to say there were measured improvements to patient cognition.

There's a developing consensus that electric stimulation has therapeutic potential in restoring brain function (from basal ganglion to transdermal stim). But if you want the full study findings here, I course this article because it looks the DOI address at the bottom.

Given how few (none) treatments they're are for TBIs right now, this is pretty exciting stuff to me at least.

Basically, this coming election will be decided by the margins because almost everyone who follows politics–at all–knows who they're voting for already.

Think about the number of people who follow politics and then understand that those people are already not the demographic that will likely decide the outcome. It's the people who are surprised they Joe Biden and Donald Trump are on the ballot that matter.

It isn't worth trying to pressured persuade either the right or the left. What we need is to activate and engage the non-participating section of the electorate. This is hard, but achievable. It's people who work multiple jobs and don't have time for politics that need to know it matters if they vote. Civil rights are not a given and 2024 will be hugely consequential.

Take your friends with you on election day! Register for vote by mail and bug your friends too! Take about it and don't leave easy points on the table. Yes the options are terrible. Yes one of them will make the possibility of improving it ever infinitely more difficult.

The people saying it doesn't matter do not understand what they stand to lose. It is so so much harder to build something than tear it down and our imperfect institutions will not save us. Politics matters and the luxury of not caring, will lead to co-optation and the loss of rights that are easy to take for granted now.

I mean I get your point, but still agree with op. Running somebody over is unsafe and nothing terrifies me more than backing up in parking lots where kids might dart out unexpectedly.

There's bad drivers everywhere, but I'd hazard a guess that most of them do not want to kill a cyclist either..

I mean the tech is cool, but this is sort of the opposite of a forgotten weapon is it not? Newly developed weapon yes, forgotten? Maybe if the NGSW roll out never actually fields..

Ah yes, another member from the Taylor Swift school of "look what you made me do" geopolitics.

FFS, I wonder who's been forcing these former Soviet states into a voluntary defense treaty organization? I just can't figure out why anybody who lives around Russia might want some sort of security assurance, given Russia's totally normal behavior since 2008...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!

You sit and spin man!

I completely disagree. What this place needs is a bunch of bot accounts that endlessly spam the top comments from when whatever's posted was on the front page last week.

Or the week before that I guess..

So what he said was true, from a certain point of view..
