My question is once this procedure has been completed and say the person really got into some heavy cardio and thus were burning a lot of fat would the body be able to burn the fat that was moved to the buttocks or does it not have the associated blood vessels to enable this?...
I can’t answer the question directly, but this may be related.
Back in the 90s when the cable channel TLC wasn’t shit, they had a series showing actual surgical procedures. I watched one where a woman had previously had a mastectomy, and this follow up was essentially rebuilding her breast by moving fat from her belly into her chest.
It’s not just cutting out one lump of fat and putting it somewhere else. The blood supply had to be kept intact, so it was more like a slide puzzle. Lots of stuff moved only as far as it could without interrupting the various veins and arteries.
Interestingly, they made sure to point out that the fat being shifted around still thinks it’s belly fat, so gaining and losing weight that would normally affect the belly would show up in the one reconstructed breast
Presumably this other procedure is similar. Fat is moved from the legs in such a way that by moving a relatively small amount, the butt gets bigger and the legs get smaller, making the butt look even bigger by comparison.
Former President Donald Trump’s attorney on Thursday argued that a president could order the assassination of his political rival and stage a military coup without being prosecuted for it....
And don’t even frame it as a nameless hypothetical. Get specific.
“Are you arguing that Joe Biden could order the assassination of Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump, and if the Democratic Senate doesn’t convict on impeachment, he gets away with it?”
There is no constitutional reason it can’t be amended, but there is a statutory reason Biden can’t act unilaterally on that: the Judiciary Act of 1869 limits the SCOTUS to nine members.
I would have sworn this was remade not too long ago, but it turns out that never actually came about. There was some recent news hinting that it may still happen, though.
It’s always been a race to gobble up the handful of whales that keep the mobile game industry alive. Now add hundreds more desktop and console games to that list. Sure, there are lots of people that will happily spend thousands of dollars on any shitty game, but once you’ve got the entire industry spending billions fighting over those players, the well runs dry eventually.
The term identity politics may have been used in political discourse since at least the 1970s.[19] The first known written appearance of the term is found in the April 1977 statement of the Black feminist socialist group, Combahee River Collective, which was originally printed in 1979’s Capitalist Patriarchy and the Case for Socialist Feminism,[22] later in Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, edited by Barbara Smith, a founding member of the Collective,[23] who have been credited with coining the term.[24][25]

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively “calming” it?...
This is going to depend on the specifics of your story, but a supernova happens when a star runs out of easily fused fuel (hydrogen, helium).
If you want to prevent the supernova entirely and return the star to “normal,” that means removing all the heavy elements from a stellar core and adding lighter elements. I’m no scientist (or author), but turning back the clock like that is beyond my imagination.
Absorbing the energy for use in other applications? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, so…maybe? You can probably hand wave that way. It won’t be 100% efficient, and whatever tech that’s absorbing that energy has to be able to contain a star. This one has at least some hypothetical support: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale
A Type III civilization is able to capture all the energy emitted by its galaxy, and every object within it, such as every star, black hole, etc.
It reminds me of the Ringworld novels. I won’t rehash the entire plot, but basically an artificial structure is built that requires a material the author calls “scrith” that is essentially impossible with known physics, but a clever author can write around it well enough that it doesn’t get too much attention for its “magic” properties.
I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt?
My question is once this procedure has been completed and say the person really got into some heavy cardio and thus were burning a lot of fat would the body be able to burn the fat that was moved to the buttocks or does it not have the associated blood vessels to enable this?...
