Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

We know from Musk that hollowing out your subscribers is a mild inconvenience compared with having a mouthpiece for your views. Most people are satisfied with an account, these guys need an entire company.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Returns from a chain bookshop have reduced our sales to a minus figure in the most important sales month of the year.

Please support independent bookshops this Christmas.

Used her toilet once. This is how she hung her toilet paper...

Toilet paper hung the wrong way round. Up to you to decide which way that is.

I'm curious how reliable tachographs are now... 90 -> 115kmh is a big difference.

What would the existence of even one repentant transphobe mean?

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

The GRA was passed in 2015 with very little fanfare following years of courageous campaigning by trans people. We have yet to see any negative ramifications in society - and we won't.

We simply *cannot* have a President of Ireland who speaks about trans women or their human rights in this way.

I'm not linking to the article but Heather Humphries thinks the Gender recognition act needs to be looked at, and trans women are not women. #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

If we're going down a "no signage" policy, people are going to expect that the marathon signs from last year and the bus connects opposition signs in Ballincollig are going to come down also.

It felt like the perfect microcosm of a wider trend where most centre-left/centre-right parties in western countries have nothing beyond neo-liberal technocracy. They have no compelling analysis or narrative beyond, "you'll lose too much without us", not realising most people already have.
