Submission + - Soft vine-like robot helps rescuers find survivors in disaster zones. (foxnews.com)
MicroBitz writes: "SPROUT, short for Soft Pathfinding Robotic Observation Unit, is a flexible, vine-like robot developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame. Unlike rigid robots or static cameras, SPROUT can "grow" into tight, winding spaces that are otherwise inaccessible, giving first responders a new way to explore, map and assess collapsed structures."
"Beyond disaster response, the technology could be adapted for inspecting military systems or critical infrastructure in hard-to-reach places, making SPROUT a versatile tool for a variety of high-stakes scenarios."

There will always be a need for "IT" workers, Divergent skilled workers. It is very hard and quite exhausting to try to just take care of the current issue. Cable pullers and, cable/ internet tech's, also someone that can just replace your failed HD, better someone the can take take your old PC and make it exactly like new and new. DB admins and programmers. Those that specialize in email and now virtual meetings. Security experts. And developers of coarse.
Also some who do a bit of it all, except web design. And know when and how to enlist specialty help.

No the patient would be quite focused. LSD used with a "good" physiologist or better a psychiatrist because they went to med school. LSD is a very useful drug for therapists.
It really has the potential of changing the landscape like a MRI or microscope for doctors of the body, but here we have a real tool for therapists.
It has been past over too long, because of public and political ignorance.
A expert can cut 10y of therapy to less than 1.

Let me be blunt. I have not taken LSD in 10+ years, but I had my time... of large doses, clean as you could hope for. (half D half L isomer) LSD experiences. It forces you to look at your past and come to terms with regrets. You will be the better for it. And can be very fun and interesting if you relax.
I have no desire to use it soon. I have to many painful regrets, but i am not dieing (hopefully) anytime soon.
