I asked chatGPT how stem cells are collected:
From embryos: In the very early stages of development (usually from leftover embryos from fertility treatments), stem cells can be extracted. These are called embryonic stem cells and have the potential to turn into any cell type in the body.
From adult tissues: Adults have stem cells in certain parts of their bodies, like the bone marrow, fat tissue, and blood. These are called adult stem cells and can usually turn into a few specific cell types (not as flexible as embryonic ones).
From umbilical cord blood: After a baby is born, the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is rich in stem cells. These cells are collected and can be stored for future medical use.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs): Scientists can take regular cells from the body, like skin cells, and reprogram them in a lab to behave like stem cells. These lab-created stem cells can act like embryonic stem cells and turn into many different types of cells.

California’s new law will require digital storefronts to clarify that consumers are buying licenses, not outright ownership of digital goods.
The law forces companies to use distinct language when selling digital media to specify license terms to avoid false advertising fines.
The law goes into effect next yea, but won’t apply to companies that offer “permanent offline downloads” of digital goods.
If I need to think, I prefer absolute silence (noise cancelling headphones).
If I’m doing something mindless, I’ll put on a podcast or audiobook.

Humans only “mark their territory” in the bathroom… well, I hope so anyway
Good point. It does read like a liability disclaimer.
I’ve noticed that Google doesn’t always get the speed limit correct on more rural roads.
Or it can’t tell if a temporary, lowered speed sign has been posted in a construction zone, for example.
This.
Additionally, there are lazy people in every company/industry. Many of whom earn more than the average person. Oftentimes, life just isn’t fair.
This was great, thanks!
Can I pay to point the sun at someone who is making my life miserable? Preventing them from getting a good night’s sleep will surely make things better, right?

I googled it for us, guys:
I figured this was how he “survived on $1/day”.
The longest friend I’ve ever had is someone I met in school that lives on the other side of the continent… I haven’t seen them in maybe half a lifetime now.
Buy we send each other funny stuff and random updates. I don’t know why it has lasted, other than that there are low expectations and it’s mutual. It’s actually really refreshing.
I met a few good friends by joining a local, free run club in the area. We were all the slow people at the back 😂
I moved and the friendships didn’t last, but I think that’s just part of life. The older I get, the more stars need to align to maintain relationships.
I met my best friend while we were both volunteering to help kids with some stuff we’re both really good at.
We’re both nerdy about the same things. I made a few friends from that activity but only one has stood the test of time 🥹
Ugh, I remember the lineup of kids willing to sign away their credit scores up for a credit card to get the free advertisement “swag” T-shirts, pens, and frisbees
Watching the Simpsons in the 90s… Live, no streaming, no recordings. If I missed that intro my week was ruined.
