Going to politely say that my experience was very different

my travel machine, hose, (admittedly) nose mask, and cord take up the same amount of space as a decent travel hairdryer

Easily fit inside either of my two carry on’s

but my home machine has a humidifier so maybe that’s the big size difference

EDIT: LPT a damp wash cloth next to the air intake is decent emergency “humidifier”.

similarly a damp towel in front of the HVAC unit can help humidify your hotel room

FYI they make very small travel size machines

I had one the size of like a super fat burrito with a plug and a battery that I could even use on the plane if *had* to

Open AIs competition wants Open AI to stop crushing them

what a surprise

EDIT: of course, there are very serious issues to discuss around AI

but these yahoos pissed away fortunes on crypto, Web 3.0, NFTs, and the Meta-Verse and are now blindsided by AI

they want a “pause” so they can catch up

Steven Rattner doesn’t “go to an office”

he HAS an office he goes to when he’s not making studio appearances and speaking on stage

Rattner, and his ilk, issue is that when they do bother to show up to the office there isn’t a bunch of “minions” running around all impressed they decided to ”drop by” and “grace” the workers with their presence

Reply to comment by BousWakebo in Scientists discover how cancer cells evade immune system by BousWakebo

>the thickness of cancer cells' glycocalyx is one of the major parameters determining immune cell evasion and engineered immune cells work better if the glycocalyx is thinner.
>
>As a result of these findings the researchers then engineered immune cells with special enzymes on their surface to allow them to attach to and interact with the glycocalyx. They then found that these specialized immune cells were able to overcome the glycocalyx armor of cancer cells,

If I am reading this correctly the discovery isn't some new "drug"

instead it will make existing immunotherapies more effective

Bans on Abortion Threaten Treatment for Ectopic Pregnancy

Abortion bans threaten to impede ectopic pregnancy treatment. For example ...

Legislation that bans abortion care for those with an ectopic pregnancy or mandates how clinicians treat ectopic pregnancies does not reflect the clinical reality of ectopic pregnancy management and could result in delays or even denials of care.
Abortion bans—even those with exceptions for ectopic pregnancy—can generate confusion for patients and health care professionals and can result in delays to treatment. Health care professionals should never have to navigate vague legal or statutory language to determine whether the law allows them to exercise their professional judgment and provide evidence-based care.
Any application of an abortion ban that affects those in need of treatment for ectopic pregnancy is inappropriate and will certainly cost lives.
