3D Printer Makes World’s Smallest Human ‘Livers.’

3D printing technology just keeps getting better and better. This time, scientists at Organovo in San Diego were able to create a 3D printer that prints using liver cells. Layering these cells into a histologically correct lattice, the team plans to model disease processes and medication effects more accurately.

The plan is to eventually be able to print fully functional human livers that are viable for transplantation.

Medical State of Mind: A Rookie Cut

Over the past year, I have noticed a young man attending the barbershop I frequent. A tall and well-dressed adolescent who bared some resemblance to my barber, he initially started off with the scut work: sweeping the floor, greeting the customers, and watching. Always watching intently as my…

So you know how there’s that post saying how people should invent birth control for men? (Take bullets out of a gun, not put on a bullet proof best) Well here it is. If some of you had actually researched it for like, 5mins, you would’ve actually found it.

Here’s the link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/04/03/male-birth-control-reversible_n_1400708.html

To put it simply, the whole procedure takes about 15mins and lasts 10 years with a 100% success rate.

After an anesthetic, there’s an injection of some sperm-killing gel (Vasal Gel) into the male vas deferens. If the guy wants it reversed, he can get another shot which does that.

So, spread the word or something, but here it is.

Meet Naki’o.

Naki’o is a mixed-breed dog with four prosthetic leg devices. Naki’o lost all four feet to frostbite when he was abandoned as a puppy in a foreclosed home.

He now lives in Colorado Springs, happily.

RAGE. god dammit.

These guys go up to girls they don’t know, begin touching them in a really intimate manner without the girls’ permission, from behind (which, as many girls in the video point out, means they can’t see who is touching them), and then try to get the girls’ numbers.  Most of the girls are visibly scared when first touched by the guys, gasping or saying “oh my god.”  One guy even straddles a girl (1:39).  The guys don’t ever ask if they can have the girls’ numbers, but say things like “so, I’m going to get your number.”  You can also see some of the girls visibly do not want to give their numbers and hesitate (1:18), but do so anyways.  The girls who do ask them to stop say things in timid voices like, “Do you mind stopping? Thank you” (2:24).  Thank you.

At the end, as the finale to all these “funny” clips, they show a clip of a girl who is very freaked out by the guy.  So much so, that she calls over two random guys to help her because she doesn’t know what to do (3:01).  Note she says sorry to the guy (3:10).  This guy touches her inappropriately without her permission, she has enough sense to do something about it, and then apologizes to the guy after she does nothing wrong.

Hil-fucking-arious.

(THEIR ENTIRE CHANNEL IS THIS.  If you don’t see what’s wrong with this video, maybe this clip of one of them grabbing a girls boobs will change your mind.  From what I can gather, these videos of them sexually harassing women has actually earned them mild success. ASDFGHJK)

White dudes are the WORST!!

Do people really think this is funny?  It is beyond creepy and just not okay.

ew this is so weird. fucking stop.
