I asked chatGPT how stem cells are collected:

From embryos: In the very early stages of development (usually from leftover embryos from fertility treatments), stem cells can be extracted. These are called embryonic stem cells and have the potential to turn into any cell type in the body.

From adult tissues: Adults have stem cells in certain parts of their bodies, like the bone marrow, fat tissue, and blood. These are called adult stem cells and can usually turn into a few specific cell types (not as flexible as embryonic ones).

From umbilical cord blood: After a baby is born, the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is rich in stem cells. These cells are collected and can be stored for future medical use.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs): Scientists can take regular cells from the body, like skin cells, and reprogram them in a lab to behave like stem cells. These lab-created stem cells can act like embryonic stem cells and turn into many different types of cells.

tl;dr

California’s new law will require digital storefronts to clarify that consumers are buying licenses, not outright ownership of digital goods.

The law forces companies to use distinct language when selling digital media to specify license terms to avoid false advertising fines.

The law goes into effect next yea, but won’t apply to companies that offer “permanent offline downloads” of digital goods.

Bonus: while the cursed, multi-directional-wheeled carts roll out from under them.

Thank you. I came to the comments to find comradery in my scepticism.

I’m choosing to imagine this tasting like funnel cake that’s melted on a hot day

Thank you

Damn. 20 minutes.

TIL I can just post the link and, maybe it’s my Lemmy client (Sync for Lemmy) but it’s automatically hyperlinked (for me, at least)

Lemmy won’t let me link this properly. Is there an escape character for brackets? This is the link I’m trying to post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_(miniseries)#Historical_accuracy

It wasn’t as bad as I thought: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_(miniseries)#Historical_accuracy

Oof

Thank you 🙏

Neat:

During the 19th and early 20th centuries, light was found to behave as a wave then later discovered to have a particulate behavior…

Ugh, I remember the lineup of kids willing to sign away their credit scores up for a credit card to get the free advertisement “swag” T-shirts, pens, and frisbees

Can someone ELI5, please?

Interesting! Go ooooonnnn 😍
