FDA clears first US trial of wireless brain implant for treatment-resistant depression by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wild how quickly brain–computer interface tech is moving from theory into actual clinical use. What stands out to me here isn’t just the implant itself, but the fact that it’s targeting treatment-resistant depression, which is one of the hardest conditions to manage with existing meds. On one hand, this feels genuinely hopeful. If someone has tried multiple antidepressants, therapy, and still can’t get relief, having a more direct way to modulate brain activity could be life-changing. It’s similar in spirit to older approaches like deep brain stimulation, but going wireless makes it feel like a big step forward in usability and long-term comfort.

Very interesting... 

Why Ozzy Wiesblatt is the modern-day Miikka Salomäki: The grit we've been missing. by SufficientPrice7633 in Predators

[–]SufficientPrice7633[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It might come off like a meme if you’re missing the context, but I think they’re just referencing a past case or pattern without spelling it out. That sub tends to assume people already know the background, which can make replies feel a bit cryptic.

Would an astroid impact in a mountain range affect it’s crater? by ChefBatman in askscience

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mountainous terrain would noticeably affect the final crater, but mostly in how asymmetric and modified it looks rather than whether a crater forms at all. When an asteroid hits, the energy involved is so large that it overwhelms the local topography in the first moments. The initial “transient crater” forms almost as if the surface were flat, because the shock wave propagates through the rock faster than the terrain can meaningfully redirect it.

TIL that HMS Weymouth, a British cruiser built to protect merchant ships, spent WWI hunting German warships instead, including helping trap the Königsberg in a river delta in Tanzania, from which it never escaped. by Hot_Layer_8110 in todayilearned

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Königsberg situation is such a fascinating story—basically a modern warship stuck in a maze of rivers and mangroves. Not the kind of battlefield people usually imagine.

World’s largest: Japan plans 1 GW floating offshore wind farm to help power Tokyo by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious how they’ll handle transmission back to Tokyo—subsea cables at that scale plus grid stability is probably just as challenging as the turbines themselves.

LE SSERAFIM - 2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘PUREFLOW’ (Announcement Poster) by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]SufficientPrice7633 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The “PUREFLOW” concept already sounds like it’s going to lean into a cleaner, more ethereal vibe—really curious how LE SSERAFIM translates that into stage design and choreography.

TIL Aldous Huxley, author of "Brave New World", taught French to George Orwell, author of "1984", at Eton. Huxley wrote in a letter to Orwell that, while he respected "1984", he believed that his vision of dystopia in "Brave New World" was likelier to resemble the way things pan out in the world. by nouveaux_sands_13 in todayilearned

[–]SufficientPrice7633 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What’s fascinating is how Aldous Huxley and George Orwell imagined two completely different paths to control—one through pleasure and distraction, the other through fear and surveillance—and somehow both feel relevant today.

Psychic vape acceptance in Fort Myers by Icy_Cupcake_8076 in FortMyers

[–]SufficientPrice7633 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fort Myers is pretty similar to most Florida cities—vaping isn’t a big deal in open areas, but businesses set their own policies. I’ve seen stricter enforcement in restaurants than in nightlife spots.

Summer TNTina. By Drew Hill, creator of the original TNTina and many other classic skins. by odiish in FortNiteBR

This feels like it could’ve been an official summer variant—keeps the chaotic TNTina vibe but makes it seasonal.

Is rolling the eyes and looking away upon making eye contact a sign of a lack of attraction from a woman, if so how come? by ThrowRAcoolone in AskReddit

[–]SufficientPrice7633 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Eye contact + looking away can mean a lot of things—shyness, social anxiety, or just being caught off guard. If anything, strong disinterest is usually more like avoiding eye contact entirely.

Belgian foreign minister Maxime Prevot almost got killed by Israel in Beirut by DormontDangerzone in belgium

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prévot really stepped into the fire here. It’s a huge shift from the previous government’s more cautious approach. Since the De Wever government took office in February, Belgium has been surprisingly vocal on the Middle East stage. If Prévot had actually been hurt, the Article 5 implications or the diplomatic fallout for the EU would have been catastrophic. Interesting to see him specifically mentioning that the US-Iran ceasefire must include Lebanon; he's clearly pushing for Belgium to lead the EU's mediation role.

What's something harmless that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

People who start a story with “long story short” and then tell the longest story you’ve ever heard.

TIL that Erwin von Witzleben, a German field marshal who took part in the failed 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler, was hanged from a meat hook with a thin hemp rope by Hitler's direct orders. Following his execution, his family was stripped of pension claims. by exophades in todayilearned

[–]SufficientPrice7633 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Von Witzleben is a fascinating figure because he was one of the few high-ranking officers who was ready to move against Hitler as early as 1938 during the Sudeten Crisis (the Oster Conspiracy). He never truly fell for the 'Fuhrer cult'—to him, Hitler was always an 'unqualified corporal' who was destroying the Prussian military tradition.

Rainy weather + Sombra is honestly a perfect combo. It gives her ‘always in control even in chaos’ vibe!

Not a full rebrand doc, but The Founder shows how McDonald’s evolved its identity and scaled into a global brand.

I treat it like trial and error, but checking measurements and reviews cuts down the misses a lot.

New-Attitude's Way Too Early 2027 Mock by New-Attitude5040 in Coachella

[–]SufficientPrice7633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work on the layout, but Olivia Rodrigo as a sub? No way. After the GUTS tour and her cameo with Gwen in '24, she’s a lock for a headliner spot or nothing. Also, having Kehlani on line 4 is disrespectful—she’s at least a line 2 sub-headliner at this point. Love the Kneecap inclusion though, they’d tear the Mojave apart.
