Optimism Linked to Poor Decision-Making and Lower Cognitive Skills
I followed the link in the article to read the actual study and found there’s an Ayn Rand quote in the abstract, usually not a great indicator for credibility.
‘Biocomputer’ combines lab-grown brain tissue with electronic hardware
Researchers have built a hybrid biocomputer — combining a laboratory-grown human brain tissue with conventional electronic circuits — that can complete tasks such as voice recognition.The technology, described on 11 December in Nature Electronics1, could one day be integrated into artificial-intelligence (AI) systems, or form the basis of improved models of the brain in neuroscience research.
What could possibly go wrong?
Apologies for slightly off topic news (unless you find salmonella entertaining), but in case you missed it:
Big Quaker foods recall (cereals, granola bars, and more: >100 products over the past 2 months). Check their website to see if you can get refunds, and throw out any affected products!
We bought some Quaker granola cereal at Costco a few months back and they actually called to tell us to bring it back because of the recall. I was pretty impressed that they didn't wait for us to hear about it on the news.
Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring, which is unusual, since the rodent predicts more winter by seeing his shadow nearly 80% of the time.
TIL Precognitive Phil isn't the only rodent in the spotlight today. Atlanta has "General Beauregard Lee" and Ohio has "Buckeye Chuck."
"On average, Phil has gotten it right 30% of the time over the past 10 years," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in an update Friday. So... flipping a coin would be more accurate.

New Jersey has Stonewall Jackson VI.
Why must these rodent prognosticators be named after Confederate generals?

Yeah, it's kinda gross.

Because they are right about as much as them?
Considering it was 70 degrees in North Carolina last week and 65 today, it feels like spring is already here
King Charles Diagnosed With Cancer, Buckingham Palace Says
King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace said in a statement Monday.The palace did not go into detail about the kind of cancer the British monarch has, or its severity.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement shared with HuffPost.
“Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace’s statement read. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.”
Why are they going after entrepreneurs who are just trying to be proactive at their business.

Yeah, I see that and I think "meth is a helluva good time!"
Too many teeth for meth.
Minnesota Republican opposes gun safety bill because of deadly cows.
“Farm animals at times can be very dangerous. Take, for example, a cow who just recently had a calf,” Limmer said. “You even walk too close to a cow and it’ll take you down and trample you into dust.”“Many farmers have a readily available gun just for those emergencies. Fumbling around with a lock while a cow or bull or any other animal is going after your daughter or your son—you can’t fumble around with a key, or try and find the lockbox, or put your thumb on a biometric key of some sort in your home while the danger is outside.”

I know I won't go anywhere near Maple Grove because of all those cows.
My grandfather kept cattle for about 50 years, working close up with them, without any need for a firearm to control even the dangerous ones. This guy is mooing out of his tail.
IGNORE THE DANGER AT YOUR PERIL, FOOLS.
All animals are created equal, just some are more equal than others.

I think so but it was so high pitched that I couldn’t be certain.

Limmer is the same idiot who during the debate about marijuana legalization in the last legislative session said 2 ounces of pot is 2 or 3 joints. He is not known for his carefully thought-out statements.
Well, now we know what he's smoking...
