Artificial Motors Mimic Muscle Proteins for Innovation

The recent advancements in nanotechnology have paved the way for the development of artificial motors that closely replicate the natural mechanisms inherent in biological systems. A groundbreaking study from The University of Manchester, in collaboration with the University of Strasbourg, has introduced artificial rotary motors capable of mimicking muscle proteins. This innovation marks a significant step in understanding molecular machines and could have profound implications across various fields, including medicine, energy, and nanotechnology.

EDIT: on web, it renders like this

I graduated with an information systems degree about a decade ago, and no employer has ever given me any amount of money for that degree. I have never gotten a bonus or higher pay because of it. Now, I'm seeing so many videos on TikTok and reels lately of students who graduated with a computer science degree costing them upwards of 90K, And they are all packed any huge room with like 20 employers who are hiring for like 300 jobs but there's like thousands of them...

So basically if you want a digital piece of paper that says you're "educated", you can pay $40000 > $350,000. But you'll never get any amount of money for it from employers, it won't help you find a job. It's a myth

And what's your routine like?

I'm the kind of worker who prioritizes life over work. So that means I care about having light schedules if I know when it's suitable and if my expenses can still be met which currently, I'm in the hole on that. If I can get away with using as much PPTO/PTO/Sick days as possible, I'll do it. If I can afford to take points while balancing my expenses, I'll do that too and have done that.

I typically work nights and I like working nights in nearly all of the jobs I've been in when available. I can't stand morning and day shifts because it takes me a little longer to get warmed up during the morning and day. I actually used to have burned through mornings by sleeping through them.

But on my off days I do try to make up for some sleep at nights.

Add getting the Trump bucks during the initial COVID waves and I don't know what else to say than he's materially the best president weve had in my life.

I mean it really shows how useless and evil the Democrats are more than anything. It's fucking wild

(Obviously it's not over yet, not getting ahead of myself, but this is the most progress we've seen by a long shot)

edit: folks it should be obvious i dont think he is doing this as a good thing or that it's not going to be a double edged sword. i'm just saying look at biden and compare.

Summary

President Biden announced student loan forgiveness for 150,000 additional borrowers, raising the total to over 5 million under his administration.

The latest beneficiaries include borrowers defrauded by schools, individuals with disabilities, and public service workers.

Biden emphasized his focus on expanding pre-existing forgiveness programs after his broad plan was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023.

Conservatives and Trump argue the efforts overstep executive authority and unfairly shift costs.

Biden called the initiative a fulfillment of his promise to reduce financial barriers to education.

What would you do if you were a white male with billions of dollars and seemingly a lot of extra time on your hands? If you answered anything other than “destroy a social media app and buy a U.S. election” or “go on a podcast to complain about companies not being man enough,” then you’d be wrong! Sorry!

On Friday, Joe Rogan released his latest podcast episode featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder of Facebook, now Meta, who’s recently made a somewhat whiplash-inducing pivot from being a vocal critic of Trump to becoming another ass-kissing sycophant. In their nearly three-hour interview, Zuckerberg talked to Rogan about his passion for hunting invasive pigs in Hawaii and complained about how companies just aren’t masculine enough anymore.

“Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy. I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing.” Must be hard to be one of the top five richest people in the world and still be a whiny little bitch.
