Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

A screenshot from Reddit of an airplane seating chart with paw prints on the majority of the seats to indicate an underseat or service animal might be there. The OP seemed excited or confused at the prospect of all the seats having animals.

What does China offer that the United States doesn't? Small hands, a massive, seasonal work force and millions of engineers. Young Chinese women have small fingers, and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said. In a recent analysis the company did to explore the feasibility of moving production to the United States, the company determined that it couldn't find people with those skills in the United States, said two people familiar with the analysis who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

like I dunno maybe if you are going to state something weird and racial about half the population of a country of 1.4 billion people you should have… a (?) source ? ??

I’m the guy who invents new bathroom faucet designs for every hotel. You might know me from Knob That Goes The Other Way and Joystick That’s Hard To Turn Off. Lately I’ve been lacking inspiration, even thinking about hanging it up. I’ve had a good run, but — wait, never mind: Ball You Turn Diagonal

“when life gives you lemons” when has that ever happened? what the fuck are you talking about

a screenshot of the prompt website. you can see that every sentence lines up perfectly in a monospaced font. it will be hard to express this with a screen reader, but basically every paragraph is full, which means lots of writing and rewriting to get it perfect.
