Kobe!

Me: The internet ;) ;)

The actual total two-way communication distance between Zhang and his patient was more than 20,000km, a considerable challenge since longer distances can cause more latency, or delay, between the surgeon’s console in one location, and the response of the robotic arms at the other location.

In this case, China’s 5G telecommunication network helped to lower the delay to a 135 millisecond latency, less that the 200 millisecond latency that various studies have identified as ideal for telesurgery.

I never would have guessed Cyber Surgeon could be on the Work From Home bingo card.

Well now I’m calling my children cross-legged goblin tyrants in public.

Maybe now I can splurge and buy butter.

I have to applaud these mental gymnasts. It must be exhausting to shift your identity from cult to cult.

Back-zips are back in style! Farewell Star Trek soundstage, I will never not see you!

Looks interesting until you close the keyboard cover. Talk about lumpy.

15 year olds should absolutely not be legally allowed to drink and smoke. Knowing the detriments of vices does not shield one from the immense peer pressure young people need to deal with. Not to mention that the long term financial burden of supporting sick or hospitalized people is on an older, ideally healthier, generation.

Adults already fall prey to team politics, so it’s a bit of a weak argument—I know.

I think it would still be interesting to get an official youth vote, even if it did not count, to quantify the issues as they see it.

I bring up life experience because most 16 year olds are starting to take a Civics class in high school and are balancing this out while discovering their own social identity. Do I think that young people, on average, make good decisions? Not necessarily, but I also think adults aren’t perfect decision makers either.

I’ve since learned that political party members as young as 14 years old are allowed to vote in party leadership elections, so there is precedence in reducing the voting age minimum.

If young people continue to show engagement in politics, however, I could see the conversation being taken more seriously and the voting age being reduced (to 16 or 17) before the end of the decade.

I think 18 is low enough. I don’t think most 16 year olds have enough life experience yet to make informed decisions about government and politics.

The goal is to overhaul and replace everything by 2027. It’s crazy to think how much technological progress will be gained and lost in that short span of time.

That’s what I thought was happening as well. The camera cutting back and forth between their expressions is what convinced me as well.

Makes sense when you lay out the steps like that.

[…] the department said in its letter that it has decided to cancel her citizenship because Townsend’s mother didn’t take her oath before Townsend was born.

What triggers are in place for the government to review ancestral citizenship history?

Didn’t help that this only played in my city for a limited time in select theaters. Give us blurays!

Oh geeze, you’re right. Changed!

How about campaigning for better healthcare access and mandatory minimum hospital wait times? Maybe controlling grocery profitability? Housing developer profits?

*checks notes*

Ok, just mad about a rebate.
