I mean thats technically true I suppose but the first recorded dental work is neolithic, and only ever serves to restore function rather than change or improve it, so I’m not super sure that counts.
Like the IUD situation, it depends what threshold you have for technology, and your definition of cyborg.
That’s amazing and sounds incredibly annoying! No wonder they are OK with being labeled as cyborgs!
I like to tell owners of pacemakers or IUDs that they are cyborgs.
Pacemaker owners are usually jazzed about it, but your average woman doesn’t want to be labeled a cyborg for technically having implanted technology…
Shame, I’m enthused to be labeled as such, woth only an IUD.
My DMV just asks the VIN of my vehicle and everything else is extracted from that. Because umm yeah of course it is. If you just renew you don’t even do that much, you just say yep I wanna renew these plates and the vehicle is the same.
Its a bit more hassle if you buy a vehicle privately and have to file the paperwork yourself but like… very mildly worse.
Put a big beefy arm
On the plus side, it’s probably going to be run by AI, which is hackable, and could easily be reprogrammed to see him and anyone in his admin as a threat and just wipe them all out.
I’ve watched dystopian sci-fi and have learned the lessons they meant to teach. I would not create the torment nexus only to be tormented.

Those are aweosome!
I can relate to having a deadline for a project, i made this for a friend’s birthday, they loved it but it was rough to get on time for someone who had never done a large canvas before!
Love it! Thats great! Minis are so fun to paint! I wish i could afford so many of them! Or a 3-d printer!
I have a dragon I’ve been sitting on for a decade. I think its technically an ice dragon, i started painting it like a nature dragon, but never did much with it cuz it never felt right.
Maybe i’ll do it. Maybe I’ll paint the epic love scene on my table I’ve been toying with… life is short and why not?
Got any more work you wanna inspire me with? 🥹😜
Rave on your rave!
Oh man i love painting minis! That’s one of the few things I have finished!
These are the first three I ever did!
Show me yours
That man makes me want to paint even though I have no skill.
I don’t want to do landscapes, but I do want to paint things. Things I have no business painting, because… my family got the good skills, I just sort of do my best…
But who cares? Machines have takes over our creativity so where I used to fear being imperfect, now I don’t. Id love to credit Bob Ross with that confidence, but it’s how broken society is now, instead.
On the plus side. I have some great mixed media ideas I will probably actually do now that quality doesn’t matter!
I’ve never had anything in the slow cooker end up crispy anyway, since there’s a lid that keeps the heat and thus steam in, so thats a non-problem.
I use the bulky setting for sheets, blankets, and towels (probably similar to towel setting) not because it washes differently, it doesn’t, but because it has different thresholds to consider the load balanced during spin, and spins it to different speeds. I want my washer to last, so I use it properly with big heavy stuff.
I also use the sanitary setting when I wash underpants and post-bidet towels, but that’s because it superheats the water. Everything else gets washed on tap cold, regular cycle.
You don’t need a fancy slow cooker, you can use an oven to slow cook multiple things at once, or really big things. Oven-slow-cooked turkey is great (if you like turkey, anyway).
Huh, I wonder if that’s what they are seeing on my eye scans, and not super early macular degeneration… I do have an irregular heartbeat with frequent palpitations, but my docs think its just stress related and haven’t done much in the way of testing.
I don’t understand the research paper well enough to know if they present similarly.
I don’t have sleep apnea.
Again, its not being tired at mid-day. If I don’t eat, I don’t get sleepy at all. I almost never eat lunch at work anymore because when I do, I go down for a nap. It’s a direct causal relationship, or at the very least I can’t find any other reason for it. Lots of people have weird quirks to their biology. Probably most of us.
Its most likely just my parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for the “rest and digest” calming reflex) goes into overdrive that time of day because I tend to have a lot of energy to burn between waking and noon, and eating tells my body it can rest by stimulating the vagus nerve. Not worth doing further digging, no.
Picking apart my diet and habits to try and find a cause for this that agrees with your prior hypothesis is… umm…
Its always been like this, like I said, regardless of how the reat of my diet and day are structured, its just a thing my body does.
Literally any food does it. Doesn’t matter what it is or how much. Its just having anything in my belly around noon makes me sleepy as hell.
In my case, if I eat around noon, I have to take a nap around 1, I just get super sleepy after lunch and will nod off whether I want to or not, even standing up. Always have. I’m probably meant to be somewhere that does siestas. I do well in heat, too.
If I don’t have food it doesn’t happen, so it’s definitely the food and not my sleep.
They might pause for a tick, sure
