involves removing eggs from the ovaries and combining them with collected sperm in a petri dish for fertilization.

This doesn't always result in a healthy embryo that can be implanted in the uterus.
Thus, doctors will typically fertilize simultaneously to increase the odds of a healthy embryo developing.

🔸If you consider each frozen embryo a "child," doctors need to create just one embryo at a time, reducing the likelihood of a successful procedure.
🔸Or create extra embryos that are never implanted, requiring the embryos to be stored indefinitely at the cost of $1,000 per year.
Any mistakes by a fertility clinic that result in the destruction of an embryo could result in murder charges.

Some Alabama fertility clinics are continuing to operate under these new restrictions. The Fertility Institute of North Alabama, for example, is continuing to offer IVF but plans "to fertilize fewer eggs to avoid the risks associated with discarding unused embryos."
This will both increase the price of the procedure, which already costs $10,000, and decrease the likelihood of success.

Advice on replacing smart TV with Nvidia Shield or similar

So I’ve been using Jellyfin for a while now. I have a NAS running with a jellyfin server and I watch stuff on my PC or on my TV. This is concerning the TV… As is often the case with these low-to-mid tier smart TVs, the OS is slow and the UX terrible. The network adapter is also bad. Jellyfin and everything else about the UI...

I haven’t branched out much, I’m afraid. Using the default Kodi theme, only split by TV/movies, and I just created a new jellyfin account specifically for Kodi.

However, this page says that you create Kodi profiles for each user, then you can log each one in to jellyfin under their own profile. This lets you use the native Kodi users for switching between jellyfin users. But it does sound like a bit of work to set up.

I am completely failingto replicate in quarto something I liked from xaringan+xaringanExtra. I want to show a directory tree and highlight one of the lines whilst showing some additional text. I don't seem to be able to retain the monospace, properly indented for all the text and change one part of it.

What I have in quarto: directory tree with some explanatory text for the top line of the directory tree. I'd like that top line to be highlighted

@3mma Hey Emma! Would multiple columns, using code highlighting on one of them work?

multiple columns: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/#multiple-columns

code highlighting (from @PipingHotData): https://www.pipinghotdata.com/posts/2022-05-12-code-line-highlighting-in-quarto-revealjs-presentations/

Have I got the gist of your issue?

How did Pink Floyd react upon hearing the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album for the first time?

@breadandcircuses Hmmm. The less said about Mr Waters, who slipped down the conspiracy plug holes years ago, the better.

grue, to jellyfin in What's the cheapest low-profile GPU for hardware transcoding?

All this is starting to make me think I should give up the whole Jellyfin on-the-fly transcoding malarkey entirely, and just batch-transcode my whole library using an external tool and add them back in using the “multiple versions of a movie” thing instead (trading off needing a GPU for using extra hard drive space).

grue, to selfhosted in make dumb TV work with subscriptions

I think the solution is to get hardware-accelerated transcoding set up correctly.

Either that, or maybe bulk-transcode all your media outside of Jellyfin and then add it all back as alternate versions and hope Jellyfin is smart enough to choose the best supported version automatically?

(I’m in the process of setting up a Jellyfin server and noticing the same issue with some of my media.)

Really cool you can do multiple choice polls on now!

@seth @gregorni Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but multiple choice polls are possible since v2.8.0? (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Poll/#multiple)

Japan’s Alpha Particle Assassin: New Treatment for Multiple Types of Cancer
Scientists at RIKEN in Japan have developed a technique that treats various cancers by inducing alpha radiation within cancer cells, killing them while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This approach, tested on mice, significantly reduced tumor growth and achieved a 100% survival rate.

Idea: Fediverse community/"subreddit" explorer

A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...

If anyone has followed this discussion recently about "thegx.ca" / follower, they just raised their ugly head with the following reply. I'm not including links and such, as I don't want to propagate their nonsense and their account(s) (see screenshot).
They also used the wrong Feditips account (which I forwarded).
Evidently, creating multiple on , following the SAME people over and over is not .
By the way, their account promotes gambling.
