Researchers uncover on/off switch for breast cancer metastasis. This report has been all over. There have been reports like this over the years. The researchers found a protein (ENPP1) that correlates with metastatic potential. But it also correlated with response to pembrolizumab, which is significant since breast cancer hasn't been responsive to checkpoint inhibitor therapies (except for triple-negative cancers). This might be something to assay for, if there was a commercially available test for it, that was covered by insurance.

Making Synthesized Sounds More Acoustic. What makes synthesized music by Tomita more interesting than a lot of other classical synth artists, is that Tomita makes each voice sound like it was being played by an organic musician, and not just a MIDI channel. I was able to envision magical lands inhabited by these creatures, instead of a sequencer, sitting on a table. MIDI is the cheater's way of playing classical music. Play it manually. There are no shortcuts. Nathan goes into other considerations, many of which were discussed by Wendy Carlos many years ago.

Woman chooses assisted death because Canada’s treatment wait time was ‘weeks to months’ I don't ever want to hear about how Canadian healthcare is superior to that of the United States. This is what you get when you don't make sure you have enough qualified people, and just make "healthcare" available to everyone. Healthcare can be affordable, available and high quality, but you only get to pick two.

Can't believe anything newspeople say these days. Doesn't any journalist research stories anymore? Turns out that the story of the landlord unable to evict a nighmare tenant and having to sleep in his car was more complicated than what has been told.

They don't want you to do your own research. Search engines promote misinformation. Doing your own research makes you believe conspiracies. Yeah, just listen to the mainstream media. They'll set you right. /sarc

Regarding the previous item, take this story, for example. So the FDA had similar misgivings about the vax product, but never told us. And approved it anyway.

What did Oregonians get this year? Name one nice thing? We got to pump our own gasoline. So that's something.

The position of director of the Measure 110 program is still unfulfilled. No one wants the job. And it seems people don't want to move to Oregon to take the job. Because people know that Oregon doesn't want any solutions that might fix the problem. Like the "Harbor of Hope" navigation center downtown. How's that going?

Portland traffic deaths hover near 30-year high record in 2023. Maybe a lot of drivers are stoned on cannabis or meth. Probably pedestrians, too. Maybe fentanyl, too, who knows?

No one wants a used EV. Makes sense. Unlike a used iPhone or iPad, where you can change the battery without spending a fortune, changing the battery on a EV is so expensive, that you might as well get a new car.
