Salient points for those who don’t want to read the article, or can’t:

  • The team administered a single shot of E. americana intravenously to mice with colorectal cancer, and it completely eliminated tumors in every treated animal.

  • Caused only short-lived inflammatory effects that resolved within 72 hours

  • Over two months of observation, treated mice showed no signs of organ damage or chronic toxicity.

  • The bacterium are also sensitive to antibiotics, providing intervention options if problems were to arise following treatment.

  • When the mice were later re-exposed to cancer cells, none developed new tumors, suggesting the treatment had triggered long-lasting immune memory.

This holds some real promise, I’m very excited to see what this brings! Kudos to the researchers!

I’d also like to see enforcement of proper headlight aiming. While lights really are too bright, it’s crazy that no one aims them properly.

An educational program about proper aiming, along with a check stop style safety sweep would help mitigate a lot of the issues.

Then again, we could just do the smart thing and mandate auto-leveling headlights, but that would be too simple.

You say that like it’s a bad thing? I prefer not to dust off my slide rule everytime I want to know how cold it is out.

I made the mistake of doing this at a family supper (they normally steamed them), and ended up on sprouts cooking duty for the rest of my foreseeable future lol.

If you’d like a bit of a read, the character portrayed there is named Rosie the Riveter.

Wikipedia - Rosie the Riveter

It’s definitely a wartime relic, but the history behind it is very interesting!

Not to argue in favor of eating dogs or anything, but I think posting a source would really help the claim you’re making.

Doesn’t matter if the pinna is bypassed or not. 3d audio (soundstage) requires both ears to receive signal from the same point source. The time delay between the two ears receiving the signal is the crux of the entire premise. Headphones inherently defeat that entirely by having the entire ear subjected to one side of the audio.

Ergo, headphones do not provide any 3d audio or soundstage.

$100? On the very low end of audiophile cables. No joke, I have seen cables with the prices climbing towards five figures. There’s a set right now on US audio mart going for over $6000USD. For a set of RCA cables.

Sometimes I think I’m in the wrong business.

Another vote here for the QSP Penguin. Grabbed one this year to replace a Benchmade, and I love it!

Sounds to me like a parenting issue, not a valve issue.

Self-leveling headlights account for bumps, that’s literally their purpose.

For the record, I did say that lights are too bright. I don’t disagree at all. But there are two distinct issues at play here, and both need to be addressed.

A little wordy, perhaps a little too in depth, but a great article on proper aiming.

General rule of thumb:

Locate the headlight adjustment screw before starting, and see what tools you need to adjust it. A screwdriver is normally all that’s needed, but it depends on the vehicle.

Ensure the headlights are in low and not on bright/high.

Park on a flat level surface, with the headlights aimed at a wall approximately 25 feet away. Can pace it out, just needs to be close.

With a measuring tape, measure from the ground in front of the car to the center of the headlight assembly. Take that measurement, and subtract 2.5 inches. (Eg, 30 inches now becomes 27.5 inches.)

Head over to the wall, and measure from the ground to the center of the bright spot the headlights make on the wall.

The bright spot should be at 27.5 inches as per your measurement.

If not, open the hood and locate the headlight adjustment screw. Turn the screw, one direction will raise the light and the other will lower it. Turn the screw until the bright center of the light is at the correct height (27.5 inches in this example). Repeat for both lights.

This will get you close enough 99% of the time!
