Yes I took it after my stroke It is really not hard. I wonder if he does the drawing a clock thing and what the result would look like. Is there a screening tool for sociopathy?

News to me, too.
I was today years old when I learned the Taser was inspired by a 1911 children’s novel. Its inventor, NASA researcher Jack Cover, named it after Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle — featuring his childhood hero. The name TASER stands for “Tom A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.”

Indeed. Age alone will screw ones eyes. I am at the stage of having to find my reading glasses to find out how long to microwave my dinner. I would need data of how long a treatment lasts and what happens as it ages.

🫡My current status✅ 📡We recently revealed the irregular surface of Betelgeuse, the famous red supergiant in the constellation Orion. ⭐️The observations show bright hot spots and an irregular, corrugated outline, shaped by the enormous movements taking place inside the Star.

Hard to believe that it's been seven years to the day that a bus fell into a sinkhole in downtown #Pittsburgh. While I couldn't make it down in the morning I did after work, and this image remains one of the wildest I've ever captured in the city.

I largely agree. All these procedures seem to involve tissue death, either by cooking it with lasers or by hacking ut out. To one of the most precious resources the body has. I'm a scientist we spend our lives with goggles on. Do not look into the laser with remaining eye.

The more I see new refractive surgeries come and go in my career, the more I’m convinced we just need to stop fucking around with healthy corneas.
According to a study by Lukas Neuhann, MD, and colleagues: Younger patients who underwent keratorefractive lenticule extraction had better efficacy and safety outcomes compared with older patients. Read more from @JRSJournal: 🔗 vist.ly/5qe7a #Vision #EyeCare
