Harnessing some of Australia's most sought-after scientists to manufacture the vaccine in laboratories at the University of NSW, he then tracked down the only veterinary researcher with ethics approval to administer the experimental drug. It was ChatGPT that suggested immunotherapy, pointing Mr Conyngham to the UNSW Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics, where Associate Professor Smith still remembers the "weird" request. "We often get oddball queries, and this one was coming from a private individual looking to sequence his dog,'' he recalls. "DNA sequencing is a way to profile the tumour and identify mutations that might be causing the disease.'' read more

Between hearings for deposed Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro and accused CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, the U.S. federal court in Manhattan was recently asked to consider an important question: When is salsa too spicy? The precipitating event was a 2024 trip to a Times Square taqueria by a German tourist. The plaintiff, Faycal Manz, said he suffered "severe physical symptoms" following a single bite of Los Tacos No. 1's green salsa, and sued for damages. read more
Minutes later, Rep. Dave Pinto, DFL-St. Paul, the committee co-chair, compared blaming higher work pay for causing higher prices to the impact shoplifting has on higher prices. He started by mentioning a presentation on the impact of organized retail theft he'd heard in a public safety committee the day before. "There was a presentation of a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft," he said. "And it actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, to make sure that they would study the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft. Because perhaps people are relying on that and using that, and maybe it's assisting them in some way." read more
Here's another perfect example of leaping too far :
Zohran Mamdani is proposing to raise NY's estate tax to 50% and have it kick in at $750,000 instead of more than $7 million
t.co
Imagine there's a Federal Government estate tax of 40% if over $27M, and a NYC one at $7M.
So if this tax proposal goes through, a middle class persons home would be taxed 90%?? Is that sane?
Seems like Elite Democrats are over reaching, I have seen some speculation all these Tax increases are because the NGO money collapsed because of DOGE.
This could be true, but taxing average people like this, and also loss because of fraud will lose elections or people will move to saner locations.
One ramification of this is people will sell their homes, and put that income into property outside the state/city. Perhaps that is the goal, to drive out the middle class from NY, while lowering the price of housing given the increase in supply due to this tax.
Their Families and lives are in Iran.
Exactly, Iran was probably threatening their families.
This is the same regime that killed citizens in the streets by the 1000s just 4 weeks or so ago.
It's Amazing to Me that the Australians thought they would stay.
Agreed when Iran is nothing but a thug country with Islamic pretenses.
It's like they think "Safety" is the only human Need or Value.
Not the "only" but certainly a primary, nothing like leveraging your loved ones back home to emotionally blackmail you.
Nice work FootPoser, you finally get it.
