The avatar was made to move the same muscles we use in speech, and they used sound clips of the woman's voice before her being paralyzed, so now she can talk to people. They want to make it wireless in the future.

    She doesn't seem to be complaining.

    Oh wait, it must not be accurate then, because she's a woman after all. 🤔

    Unbreakable material nearly as hard as diamond, with high energy density

    It’s taken more than three decades, but scientists believe they have created a material that’s almost impossible to break and could rival diamond as the hardest substance on the planet.

    Nothing but nebulous press releases and little about how it actually works yet.

    Zero-fuel, zero-emissions, highest efficiency

    Today, AISEG is the world’s first successful system that generates higher efficiency output compared to input power. With over 70 patents in 60 countries, AISEG does not have any rotating parts, does not produce carbon or heat emissions, is self-powered and delivers outstanding efficiency. It has a compact footprint and near-permanent lifespan – a one-stop solution for the world’s energy needs.

    AISEG opens a market of infinite value with application in every field, such as automobiles by providing clean, emission-free power without fuel. Industries can generate electricity without need for power transmission and home appliances can be powered with an easy plug and play model. AISEG also replaces the immense volume of fuel needed for ships, planes, and carriers, and replaces every other power source at customised power plants.

    Neat essay, here's a snip:
    The wisdom of age constitutes the ability to accept reality, which is the knowledge of certain death -- substantial, personal, individual extinction. It no longer seeks to disguise the fundamental cruelty and terror of life because it is too weary for further struggle. It is not the acceptance of destiny so much, as the succumbing to it... It's not pessimism but a joyous acceptance of life!

    Old news. Ayn Rand wrote about this in the 1950s.

    Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing Mac & Cheese to the U.S., additionally it was one of his favorite foods!

    He is often credited with introducing macaroni and cheese to the United States after encountering it during his travels in Europe, particularly in France and Italy, while serving as U.S. Minister to France. Fascinated by the dish, he brought back pasta-making equipment and recipes, which he served at Monticello and during a state dinner in 1802. His chef, James Hemings, trained in French cuisine, played a key role in preparing these dishes. Jefferson's promotion of macaroni and cheese helped popularize it among the American elite, laying the foundation for its enduring place in American cuisine.
