Eye Drops Could Dissolve Cataracts
An anonymous reader writes: As Slashdot readers age, more and more will be facing surgery for cataracts. The lack of cataract surgery in much of the world is a major cause of blindness. Researchers at University of California San Diego have identified lanosterol as a key molecule in the prevention of cataract formation that points to a novel strategy for cataract prevention and non-surgical treatment. The abstract is freely available from Nature. If you have cataracts, you might want to purchase a full reprint while you can still read it.
Fuck you, people with cataracts! Can you see me shooting you this bird? Boop boop boop boop boop!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
It makes me glad that I can call my president an asshole if I feel he is being an asshole. Of course, I will be labled a racist if I do so but that is another matter entirely.
Labelled by idiots. A label to wear with pride. Of course I could be wrong - but I suspect it's unlikely that you would call Obama an arsehole because of the colour of his skin. Even calling him a black arsehole doesn't make you a racist bigot. It's just an accurate description.
I am sure I will be a sexist for not voting for Hillary as well but, again, that is another matter entirely.
Labelled a sexist bigot by idiots - maybe. But not voting for someone - whatever your reasons is just exercising your right to vote.
Just saying.
Of course I'll be labelled rude by idiots. Maybe I am, but it won't make them less idiotic.
