    @jon-nyc said in Artificial Lungs Kept a Dying Man Alive For 48 Hours—Until He Was Well Enough to Receive an Organ Transplant: They’ll laugh at transplants because tissue regeneration will be so far superior. No laughing. The will look at them with horror just as they will the idea of poisoning the whole body to kill tumors.

    Ahhh, I didn’t look at the timestamp on the tweet! The jury came back yesterday. They found him guilty. Apparently, he and the Au Pair planned to kill his wife and blame it on a total stranger that they also killed. So they created an account for his wife on some whackadoodle website, invited this guy to the house for some action, then shot him and stabbed her when he showed up…

    said in The marketplace is changing: I cut cable in 1994. I did buy a real diamond for Mayla. I joke that it’s the smallest car I ever purchased. Agreed re stocks - 20-somethings have app-based trading accounts at a higher rate than my peers had (say) Schwab accounts. Though many probably buy more crypto than stocks. Re paper napkins young people probably have a stash from take out orders. I bet they rarely buy condiments either. Creepy. I got Facebook ads for selling diamonds after posting this.

    https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/nancy-mace-is-not-okay.html She has faded from the spotlight pretty fast. Though I dont know personally, Probably some truth to the article. South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace used to make her staffers go on late-night booze runs, clean her house, and boost her on forums discussing the “hottest women in Congress”—and that was all before things got really bad. and Former staffers said Mace treated them like maids after she arrived in Congress in January 2021, ordering them to clean the multiple properties she was renting out on Airbnb, including her Washington townhouse. Ahead of election night in 2022, Mace instructed her staffers to spiff up her $3.9 million home in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, for a watch party, a former staffer with direct knowledge told New York magazine. Mace also started dispatching staffers on late-night runs for alcohol to keep parties going at her home. “Look, when I worked for her, our poor scheduler was getting calls at two o’clock in the morning to come bring her bottles of tequila,” one former staffer told New York magazine. Members of Congress are explicitly barred from instructing their staffers to run personal errands, and they are not permitted to purchase alcohol for their boss’s personal consumption. One staffer alleged Mace’s excessive drinking and marijuana use became an issue. “She would definitely do it excessively,” the staffer said of the congresswoman’s drinking and marijuana usage. “And again, not to say that most members don’t or most staff don’t, but it got to the point where it was an issue.”

    Thanks for sharing. I just recorded the Discovery Channel documentary about what happened but haven't watched it yet. I am looking forward to hearing some details and insights not already known. Living in that area for a while, I would watch the planes and helicopters daily. The routes were...well, routine. Of course in hindsight, a route that crosses the landing path for airplanes (at night) should've been treated with so much more risk appreciation than "do you see that jet out there?" and "yeah I see it" (wrong jet, most likely).
