This may be old news, although the actual research paper only came out last month, but it is now possible to produce  hydr0c0d0ne using genetically altered yeast. It will be a while before the process is refined enough to be effective, as the article below notes " it would take 4,400 gallons of bioengineered yeast to produce a single dose of pain relief."

But in 20 years time?

Yea I read this a while back. Although I didn't realize such a quick turn around lol. Doesn't sound very viable. More like a neat research paper for a college student.

 
There's a lot of playing with yeast (and other bacteria) genetics to hopefully "vat grow" lots of chemicals.  It has huge potential.  Truthfully I'd see the trend in healthcare devising a non-dependence forming pain relief chemical before this even is viable.  In some sense that would be a great day, but it will also have clear negatives for many.  Spinal simulators are great, if you can afford them, if they help your situation, and if they treat the overall suffering and not just the pain.

Anywho, that was a little OT.

  2. shoutback @ shoutback: Coach will get Woolen straightened out.
  3. shoutback @ shoutback: Yessir but I think he may have matured and he is showing steadiness during crunch time. All you can ask of anyone. He has answered the call so far.
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: Darnold sometimes does Darnold things but otherwise a skilled QB
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: @shoutback he seriously needs to be benched for being a jackass who almost cost the seahawks the game
  6. shoutback @ shoutback: @meepmoopmeep that Woolen situation was atrocious
  7. shoutback @ shoutback: 2018 draft
  8. shoutback @ shoutback: At least football is something we all can agree on. I'm happy for Darnold. Crazy to think he is the 1st of that 2018 to make it to the SB
  9. shoutback @ shoutback: Squack Squack mfers lol j/k but yeah go fucking Seahawks!
  10. M @ meepmoopmeep: sad that the rams aren’t advancing but saw it coming from a mile away. go seahawks!
  11. shoutback @ shoutback: GO HAWKS!
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Stidham played well enuff to win until that late pick that ended it ;( hate the pats hope Sammy and the Seahawks can handle em that defense is fierce but the offense isn’t as explosive as the rams and obviously he ain’t the caliber of Matthew stafford but anyways, go Hawks!!!
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: But the hawks played better and earned their SB spot
  14. M @ meepmoopmeep: Riq Woolen being an absolute clown and handing the rams a TD for unsportsmanlike behavior at the sidelines
  15. shoutback @ shoutback: What about them HAWKS!
  16. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Come on Stidham!
  17. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Now that's interesting...
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: McCarthy to the yinzers
  19. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: *offensive line
  20. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: I'm very happy with it. He was in our building for a few years, followed Mike MacDonald path and let's fucking do it! Pass rush has been our biggest issue besides online.
