Reply to comment by CollectionOfAtoms78 in Man plays his saxophone through 9-hour, "very, very complex" brain surgery to remove tumor by BitterFuture
Because other commenters weren't specific, the point is to ensure that the neurosurgeon stays away from areas of the brain that affect saxophone playing, because he'd abruptly start to mess up before permeant damage is done. In older medical dramas you'd see them do simple cognitive tests to assess the patient at various points through a surgery, this is a more advanced (albeit eclectic) method but is the same idea. Why a sax? Presumably the surgery is done in either parts of the brain associated with musical ability, or hand-eye coordination. I feel personally this is a great idea, I'd love to spend a terrifying surgery say, playing a video game, rather than literally thinking about nothing but the metal knife currently cutting into my soul. A side benefit of making the surgery safer is just gravy in my opinion.

The desert is not bigger, the park is bigger. Less uplifting part is this is a big oil donation/tax cut.

This mitochondrial DNA is -in- the mitochondria, we have two sets of DNA. That DNA is being copied (moved?) to the nucleus for some reason.

Reply to Frontier rolls out 5Gbps fiber internet across the US by Ok_Champion6840
This headline is a bit misleading, they aren't 'rolling out' anything, they're offering a new plan to existing customers, with existing infrastructure.
