   Please consider also including the use of heavy machinery in the tool rental page. For example: an hour using a drill press, lathe, milling machine, band saw, wood planer, table saw etc. Think of a virtual workshop spread across the city.

   The proponents of crypto are scam artists. Whether they operate ponzi schemes like FTX, or whether they are just trying to inflate its value to pull the rug at a later date. They see BTC as an investment rather than a currency.

   I just think bitcoin is a scam and the US government shouldn't get involved with it. It would be like if the US government invested in a Strategic "Beanie-Baby Reserve" in the late 1990s.

    I would be curious as to how they are measuring the subject's perception of their age. Are they just asking them how old they feel? How do they get meaningful results?

    > the team will create two versions of NOVAJoint: a version that uses patient’s own cells and one that uses donor cells. If the knee replacement uses the patients cells, won't the new knee be effected by Osteoarthritis as well?

    I know you probably don't want to give away the secret sauce, but how does the LLM use the reddit threads to decide which products are best? Is it the comment with the most upvotes?

    Personally I like some of these ideas. They could be our only hope of preserving earth's climate. Face it, we already manipulate earth's environment on a massive scale - just not intentionally.

    I like this, but I feel like the money should go to charity with a transaction fee going to Beeminder.
