You have no idea 
I get what youāre saying, but there is a point in dwelling on itā¦ thereās a lot of potentially bad stuff coming down the pipe, and itās likely unopposed
Iām not mad, Iām just disappointedā¦
And Iām sad for all the steps backwards we are about to take
I donated my stem cells to help save a life from blood cancer! Join the bone marrow registry at DKMS.org and you may get a chance too!
Omg something about the colorā¦ it tickled a very deep ick in me hah!
Still pretty coolā¦ very cool actually. Nice work!!
The forbidden watermelon juice!
Yes, it looks awfulā¦ But itās pretty cool that you helped save a life!
Also, more reasons to go full robotā¦
Iām kinda curious, is it fully anonymous, or do they give you a little info, like you just saved a 6 year old who loves dinosaurs and wants to go outside again?
Also, total steely eyed power move!
You get basic information that you are expected to keep private (e.g. 36 year old female with lymphoma) but other than that I didnāt get more. I think thereās a chance that at the recipients discretion (and yours too of course) they may want to talk to you or meet you, but Iām not too sure. The only thing more I can say about my donation is that it treated someone with leukemia, but I canāt say the specific type of anything else.
Also man I was tired when I typed that, I definitely meant to say blood cancer.
Right?? Its strange, itās much clearer in the tubes as it comes out. The machine they use is pretty dang cool. It spins the blood to separate the cells out by their specific gravity, then using optical sensors it looks for this super thin layer of blood between the plasma and red blood cells called the buffy coat. This buffy coat is made up of white blood cells and my stem cells that were stimulated by the filgrastim medication I had to take leading up to the donation. It then is able to pull those cells specifically and collect them in a container while the blood is continuously returned back to the patient
Below is Politically based, but neutrally oriented video
Made by Onion Network
Think of it as a futuristic light hearted Black Mirror episode.
@Eriequiet definately watch it to the end
I had to delete political stuff in a place where they asked me to help moderate.
And I failed to not reply to the stuff on this forumā¦
*Walks slowly towards the corner of shameā¦
That video is brilliant! And the ending is extremely accurate!
Wow, fascinating! Thank you for doing this and telling us about it. 
Idk man,ā¦ I get what youāre implying
But its hard to not feel bleak when close minded ideals succeed, because it normalizes it and makes it easier to spread
4 years goes by fast. And then it can never happen again.
Thereās a lot that can happen in those 4 years. Whole not all is going to be good, it means the next 4 years after is going to be an improvement.
Besides I think itās best to just ignore the political shit and focus on the cool things that will come out regardless of the unethical shit that will go on. Thatās other peopleās problem to worry about and I have limited brain space to care about.
Iām trying to remind myself the open source medicine scene is going to explode
Anyways, hereās a cool prosthetic eye to keep your mind off things:
One week of an LF xLED being driven by a cheapy 5v wireless charging coil.
inb4 people want the STL of the Xled Ring of Powa
Awesome for VR, not great for AR.
Whatās missing from both is resistance. Force opposing your movement. There are some tricks to fake it but you will always be able to push your hand right into a solid object.
Thatās why I think AR has more use for haptics in the current state of things. We canāt fake solid objects yet but we can add to them.
