It's incredibly sad to hear someone die of a preventable cause this young, but I can also somewhat relate with the people who reviewed her application.

If a living donor wouldn't have been sufficient, they've now created two patients where they previously had one, and without improving the primary patient's condition. It makes sense that a donor organ from a deceased donor would be preferable.

That said, the current requirement for the patient to meet deceased donor standards for transplantation to be eligible to use a willing living donor make no sense. Both situations should have their own unique criteria, given that a living donor situation involves different risks for both the patient and the donor than a deceased donor situation would incur.

Ultimately this whole situation boils down to a scarcity situation though. If we want to solve this, it will require more people to register themselves as a donor and a review of the eligibility criteria as soon as more donors are available.

What can they do? How about making the cellular models modular? 3G goes bust? Swap the modem for a 4G one next time the car is in for service.

That's the worst part imho. We should hold Ford accountable and demand that money back if they unilaterally decide to axe the plan we collectively funded.

HORI has been around for a good whole, and they make what are arguably the best aftermarket Nintendo switch controllers.

That's so cute. Also funny to see how the grey color is dominant, but even the grey kittens get some of their pattern from the spotted patent.

I really want to see Valve champion PCVR as much as FB has been pushing stand-alone VR. There is a decent-sized market there, but it feels like more and more large players are existing VR, leaving FB/Meta as the only one left standing (see Microsoft killing WMR, Sony pretty much abandoning PSVR despite it being the #2 selling VR platform). And as much as I commend Meta/Oculus for their innovations and continued research in this space, I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to see the market get monopolized by Meta.

Prigozhin marched on Moscow despite Putin's warning to retaliate against any rebellion, then stopped his advance after talking to Lukashenko and getting offered amnesty in Belarus.

Morrowind memes in the wild. What a time to be alive!

Looks blissful. To be a cat in an urban environment without any predators to worry about must seem pretty nice.

Undoubtedly. But they will stir a whole lot of shit while they're going down. If you think mass shooting are bad now, imagine if every single MAGAt becomes convinced they're going to be persecuted to "David Koresh"-levels and decides to kill a bunch of people on their way out.... I shudder to think the level of societal chaos this could cause.

Thanks. Apparently I forgot about Winnipeg in the fifties. That said, I can't see if that was a city-wide evacuation like this one.

What a surprise. Said no-one.

Seriously through, this is the result of Putin's lack of backbone in declaring this an actual war, which would both allow him to recruit conscripts and reservists, and cause quite a bit of international and domestic push back. The only (currently preferred) alternative appears to be to just roll the dice on giving convicted killers weapons and hoping for the best.

This entire operation has made a joke of the Russian military.
