[REAL, 1850] The Impulsoria, a locomotive powered by four horse's on treadmills.
  • https://www.frrandp.com/2021/02/the-impulsoria.html

    Other than one prototype unit, however, the locomotive was never produced. By 1850, steam was clearly king, and any horse-powered railways outside of streetcar operations were on the way out. Thus, the Impulsoria became nothing more than a strange curiosity of an early railway engine.

    After screening thousands of drugs, researchers have found an antibiotic that completely eliminates the bacteria that causes Lyme disease
  • Researchers tested the drug, not yet on the market, in mouse models of Lyme disease at seven-day, 14-day, and 21-day intervals and found that it eliminated the infection. For the first time, azlocillin also proved effective in killing drug-tolerant forms of B. burgdorferi in lab dishes, indicating that it may work as a therapy for lingering symptoms of Lyme disease.

    Researchers plan to conduct a clinical trial.

    One day... Maybe.

  • There is no privacy online. Enough incentive your history across accounts, instances, usernames can be combined.

    Think about risks instead. Who is going to use your post against you? How much effort are they going to go to? What's your risk?

    If you're hiding from the a government, best not to be online. If what you post will get you killed, don't post it.
