  • As a general rule I think it’s best to take ideas on their own internal merit without attaching yourself too strongly to particular figures. People are fickle but a well founded idea can transcend its author.

    That doesn’t mean you should esteem someone for having one good thought or withhold your contempt of their general character though.



  • I think reddit skews older and therefore so does Lemmy, but the more younger people who join the more likely we are to get a bit of a snowball effect going! Hopefully some others in your age demographic see this post and suggest something. What are some things you feel sets gen z apart? My younger sister would be considered on the older end of gen z but I don’t think her interests are particularly standard.

    I do think forum style communities like reddit and lemmy/kbin are more focused on particular hobbies which span generations more easily. For example I have a background in audio and spend a lot of time on the Gearspace forums which skew much older than me, but that doesn’t make me feel particularly out of place except for the clear class divide (like people recommending really expensive gear to newbies or talking about how they write from their mountain retreat).











  • “Lipocartilage’s resilience and stability provide a compliant, elastic quality that’s perfect for flexible body parts such as earlobes or the tip of the nose, opening exciting possibilities in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, particularly for facial defects or injuries,” said corresponding author Maksim Plikus, UC Irvine professor of developmental and cell biology. “Currently, cartilage reconstruction often requires harvesting tissue from the patient’s rib – a painful and invasive procedure. In the future, patient-specific lipochondrocytes could be derived from stem cells, purified and used to manufacture living cartilage tailored to individual needs. With the help of 3D printing, these engineered tissues could be shaped to fit precisely, offering new solutions for treating birth defects, trauma and various cartilage diseases.”
