  • Suffering from end-stage kidney disease, Richard underwent the groundbreaking procedure in March, only to depart from this world merely two months post-surgery.

    The news of his demise was confirmed by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the medical facility behind the historic transplant, on Saturday.

    Either an AI wrote this or somebody needs to take the author’s fucking thesaurus. He has ceased to be. He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible. He is an Ex-pig kidney transplant recipient.



  • Some of the best cyberpunk characters are women and the clothing is cooler.

    For the former point: molly millions/Sally shears and YT were both by far the most interesting characters in the sprawl series and snow crash respectively.

    Funny thing about cyberpunk as a genre is the women are often the badasses with complex characters and the male leads are usually bumbling selfish dummies that generally fail to resolve anything (Hiro protagonist in snow crash, Johnny mnemonic, case in neuromancer, and to a lesser degree bato in GIS who’s just clueless half the time instead of bumbling).

    For the latter: mox gear is better than worn browns and grays.

    I also just think the voice actor is better and Judy is the most interesting love interest.

    I think neutral gas asphyxiation would be. Unfortunately they usually use carbon dioxide instead for pigs. I consider carbon dioxide to be much worse. It’s both acidic and makes you very aware you’re suffocating. At high concentrations unconsciousness is generally very quick though because your blood will literally dump stored oxygen whenever it encounters high levels of CO2. Makes lungs work in reverse like you were in space.

    Edit: I use your here because I’m only trained in human physiology but it works essentially the same
