Hold on. There is an AI grandmother holding up scammers? This sounds almost too good to be true. But I knew there was a reason I love you Gram Gram.

This thread idea is simple guys. Post something positive that happened to you today. No matter if it is big or small, as long as it was nice!

 

So, lets start with something simple! I finally bought a t-shirt online that wasn't either too small or too big <3.

Stumbled across a free game on Steam: ATAN

 

A short proof of concept designed by some university students which reminds me creativity isn't dead.

 

So you don't have to 'go look' - it's a console styled visual experience where you must climb and explore a little with some puzzle elements which give it enough to keep from being too simple.

 

I've wasted a lot of time in my life - If I enjoy it, it doesn't bother me.

be great today

Some exciting developments in the field of Interventional Radiology. Researchers at Stanford University are developing new scopes that utilize a ultrasound vortex transducers to break up and remove blood clots in mechanical thrombectomy. Although the scopes have been around for a while, blood clots can be too sturdy to simply be removed via pulling. These new additions make their removal via vortex more effective, less dangerous, and will ultimately lead to better/safer healthcare. Here's a brief video regarding the topic.

I know Thanksgiving has been awhile ago but I don't need a holiday to be thankful. For one I am thankful for the LGBTQ+ community for being kind and understanding. I am thankful for my parents and the rest of my family being there for me when I grew up and even now. I am lucky to be surrounded by good people.

 

That said I still find it hard to be thankful with the knowledge that too many people treat billionaire dictators like they are Buddha or Jesus or whatever. I know there are good people out there and I count my family and friends among them. I hope others can find people who accept them.

Weather is messing with the multiple sclerosis for over a week now, but as life continues and dishes/clothes/floors/ect... eventually all become dirty, I decided to take measures that allow me to deal with what the weather does to me so I could clean. I am now feeling great, dancing in my wheelchair as I have finished all the... ugh, that stuff before, lol. So, curious I google 'use alcohol as pain killer for chronic pain', as that's what helps, hence why I feel awesome rn.

 

Google tells me...

 

Moreover, recent research suggests that as many as 28 percent of people experiencing chronic pain turn to alcohol to alleviate their suffering. Despite this, using alcohol to alleviate pain places people at risk for a number of harmful health consequences.

...

But all I can think is, "Yeah, but it's more fun that the pills."  Yes, this is a positive for me. Hope all are awesome as well.  

 

Edit: ...Still having a great night.

Today’s positive thought: I finally organized a bunch of old PDFs that were lying around for months. Feels really good to clear digital clutter and have everything in one place. Small win, but a satisfying one 😊
Used some PDF editor from to get it done quickly.

Bacteria are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics as time goes on. So much so, that doctors are feeling exponentially less able to effectively treat their patients who have infections with standard methods. Developing new antiobiotics takes more time and money than they are worth, and ultimately bacteria adapt quicker than we can make them. This story (through Radiolab) is about how one patient and his wife, through dogged persistance and research, find a way to combat a particularly bad strain of bacterial infection with the help of a bacteriophage (a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria). Combined with anitbiotics, bacteriophages have a synergistic effect (known as PAS: Phage-Antibiotic Synergy). They can work around bacterial resistance by breaking down their protective biofilm matrix allowing better penetration of the phages and antibiotics. This is a huge leap forward in the ongoing battle (which we as a species are losing) between humanity and the microscopic world of bacteria. Apparently "phage treatment" was pioneered by the Soviets in the Eastern bloc, and abandoned by the Western medicine in favor of developing broad-spectrum antibiotics in the 1940's. Through this woman and her associates efforts, there are now specialized clinics on the West coast of the US offering this treatment.
