Manipulate brain cells using a smartphone https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/08/190805143525.htm

A team of scientists have invented a device that can control neural circuits using a tiny brain implant controlled by a smartphone. The device could speed up efforts to uncover brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, addiction, depression, and pain.

i'm gonna want to purchase one of those devices. only to control the on/off switch for the Brain. it's for a friend.

i also want one of these...

K-pop is being rocked by a sex scandal. It’s part of a bigger societal problem.

Well here's a new one|

A few weeks I bid on a huge job, found out yesterday that I won the bid. I've been told that I can do a walkthrough/tour of the new hotel (Pomeroy) next Monday. All bids were placed based on a floor plan PDF. Many PDF files for each floor. I'm getting to the weird part.. I as well as all contractors have been told that there are to be NO cell phones/cameras on the premises during work hours. "all devices are to be left in vehicles in the lot next door" This is the first franchise contract I've ever bid on/won, I thought perhaps this was normal on such jobs for """"SECURITY PURPOSES"""" but after asking around I've found out that this is a new thing. Really, really weird. And don't get me started on the personal information required from my employees to be allowed to work on this site.   :o :o ???


Guess I won't be able to post any flooring pics in the thread.

@KSM I guess you will have to take bigfoot out for a date night once the hotel opens for business.
Are we having fun yet?

All bidders were emailed the floorplan. That's how we placed our bids.. hated it because there are ALWAYS surprises with these things ::) Guess my point is that it's ridiculous. Guess it will cut down on my dudes playing candy crush on their muthafkn devices. Not that they would during work of course.

@Walks_At_Night    I'm always bored, plus I'm almost out of TV's.  Have to think of something else soon.  I'll check to see what's left in my storage unit.

Too funny.  Needed this laugh and no - there is no gore.

I cannot wrap a gift to save my life.  As long as I've lived I simply cannot wrap a present and make it look nice.  Simply awful.  My presents would look better if you just put them in a washing machine with a bunch of tissue paper, or whatever, and then just went with that when all was done.  I have yet to master Scotch tape.  The ability to fold into tight creases is nil.  I have my faculties about me.  I think I'm a pretty smart guy.  However, when I wrap a present it looks like an utter failure and is quite embarrassing actually.

And yes, I know about gift bags. Some things you just can't put in a gift bag.

What is my life?

LOLOL  yep  Every Christmas I have about 8-12 gifts of all sizes to wrap and it's always the same with taped patches and all kinds of fuckery. some end up a little bald on one side with not enough coverage so that's the side that faces inward at the tree. Even a tiny box of Fendi screws me.
