The term "wetware" for cybernetic implants was perfect, I don't know why it didn't stick.

My wife has had intractable seizures for most of her life. A few months ago, we sat down to see what we could do about it, where technology stood.

"Wetware" was thrown around as a potential option. Technically called a Vagal Nerve Stimulator, it's an implant that detects the electrical storm associated with a seizure and basically shorts it out with electric impulses of its own.

We ended up not going that route--electing for straight surgery to remove the benign mass causing it all--and it was the right move. Seizure free since July!

But still, "wetware". Alive and well and real today.

I didn't see that movie, but the IDW comics have been using them extremely well. The old cartoon had them be so stupid and incompetent that it was just kind of obnoxious, and the CG cartoon has them be completely different characters, but this comic keeps the spirit of these two loving idiots intact while making them lovable, compelling and even scary.



While I think everything about the IDW Turtles comic is great, Bebop and Rocksteady's solo comics might be the best part. I know Destroy Everything is the most fun I've had reading a comic in over a year.

The movie B&R are really close to that first comic. Really close. Down to the excitement about being transformed and the Shredder-worship.

When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they weren't establishing an exchange rate. It's the funny panel thread, dumbass.

To be fair, going through four Robins makes Batman the expert.

In fact, he probably went through four Robins just so he could be the expert in case anyone ever asked him his views on child endangerment.

Ashcans posted:

Switching words when you get 'stuck' on one is something that actual stutters do as a speaking strategy, so that isn't really a gag. My understanding is that a lot of stutterers have fairly predictable patterns though, so its more likely that they will take a pause and plan their sentence to avoid using works that trip them up - but that doesn't mean they can't still get tangled on other words (especially with tension or stress).

Yep. I've a mild stutter, and this describes my coping behaviors exactly. Plan your sentences. If I get stuck, switch to another word. Stress makes it way worse.

latinxs and the irisih?

This reminds me of the weirdest restaurant I've ever encountered: A Mexican-Irish restaurant in rural Maine called Pedro O'Hara's. The mascot is a leprechaun wearing a sombrero with a taco in one hand and a pint in the other.

http://www.pedrooharas.me/

It's surprisingly good. While it doesn't compare to the Mexican food you get in the south and southwest parts of the country, it's certainly the best Mexican food I've found in New England (although I haven't fully explored Boston yet).

So, uh, for the three of you who will ever visit Lewiston, Maine: give it a shot? And think of Spider-Man 2099 while you do.
