    But then again, there was that lady recently on an airplane that freaked out after it was discovered the "baby" she was "nursing" was a taxidermied lynx cat with googly eyes (if you haven't seen the video, it's worth looking up lol).
    That was staged. 

    I honestly don't get how people think they can get away with it either. I'd like to know more about her mental state. 


    Really?? That's a bit of a relief.

    At the risk of diagnosing from my armchair, I wouldn't be surprised if bipolar disorder was playing a role. The grandiosity that comes with bipolar disorder can convince people they can do anything. A lot of the cast of characters in the Tiger King episodes seem to fit into this cat..egory.

  • 'iPhone 14 Pro' could feature both hole-punch and pill-shape display design

    This makes sense and is completely in line with Apple’s design ethos by having the aesthetics lean into and emphasize the functionality, rather than doing a bad job trying to obscure it. Just like on the Apple stores, where they have large, attractive, shiny brackets holding the windows together rather than trying to hide small ones in there where the purpose is not immediately obvious and thus aesthetically confusing. They need a larger diameter opening for the camera, and a smaller diameter opening for the sensors. Hence, a hole punch and a pill.

  • Apple Watch glucose & blood pressure sensors still years away

    A glucose monitor would be fantastic. A vibrate or beeping when insulin levels spike would deter a to of people from eating excessive carbs and sugar.

    As more and more research shows, once you are overweight, your body will fight tooth and nail to keep it by swiping down your metabolism PERMANENTLY, even after you gain your lost weight back. The only way to be healthy is to stay healthy and a glucose monitor can do wonders for this.

    Except that Type 2 diabetes is caused by animal fat -- either the type you eat or that which you wear.  Avoiding carbohydrates is merely treating the symptoms -- as is taking your doctor's pills.  Treating those symptoms is important, but ultimately fruitless because the disease itself chugs along just fine.

    Those who eat healthy, fiber filled diets either do not gain weight  or, if they are overweight, they usually lose the fat when they start eating healthy.  Unfortunately, most Americans think eating healthy means only two slices of pizza and a 12 ounce CocaCola.  Then, once their microbiome is totally trashed and they're coming down with the Standard American Diseases from their Standard American Diet, they blame it on "age" or "metabolism".

    In America, its normal to sicken and die from our normal lifestyle.
    As an actual doctor, I can assure everyone that this is as delusional as it sounds.

  • Vanessa Kirby replaces Jodie Comer in Ridley Scott's 'Kitbag'

    That sounds incredible. Ridley Scott’s latest movie, also a historical piece, The Last Duel, was really great.

  • What to expect from the 'iPhone Fold'

    Watch. The moment this folding iPhone is out, Samsung will release ultra folding origami phone. 
    Just FYI - Samsung has already launched 3 generations of folding phones. By time Apple comes out with their own version of folding phone (assuming late 2023 at the earliest), Samsung would be on 5th generation of foldable phones.
    Thank you for the info Helpy Helperton.
