Nobody actually suggested using nickel internally...they mentioned its possible use when constructing an artificial leg. Presumably it would be used inside the prosthesis, not within the body or in direct contact with it.
Metal sponges are already a thing, only difference between this material and existing metal sponges is the pore size and creation method.

This should demonstrate to enterprise level purchasers the peril in becoming involved with Apple, who are historically an enterprise-hostile vendor.
Or perhaps it will demonstrate that Apple won't let them get away with abusing their internal use certificates that allow less restricted use of device resources in order for those licensees to take further advantage of public end users and violate Apple's software license agreements.
Funny story: There is a nuclear power plant in San Onofre, California called the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, commissioned on January 1, 1968. It cost over $10 billion dollars. California rate payers paid Southern California Edison $671 million to replace the steam generators in the two reactors that were active at that time with new units from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Edison estimated that the modernization would save customers $1 billion during the plant's license period. The ten year replacement project was completed in 2011.
Then, in January of the following year, the two operating units were shut down, one for routine refueling and replacement of the reactor vessel head, the other to investigate a radioactive leak largely inside the containment shell. On investigation, both of the new steam generators installed less than a year earlier were found to show premature wear on over 3,000 tubes, in 15,000 places. Plant officials pledged not to restart the reactors until the causes of the tube leak and tube degradation were understood. Neither reactor was ever restarted. On June 7, 2013, Southern California Edison announced it would "permanently retire" Unit 2 and Unit 3.
Decommissioning San Onofre will take numerous years until the process is complete. In August 2014, SCE announced decommissioning would take 20 years, cost $4.4 billion and spent fuel would be held on-site in dry casks, indefinitely. Storage begins with five years immersement of the nuclear waste in steel-lined concrete pools to cool on the San Onofre beach shore of the Pacific Ocean, followed by indefinite storage in five-eighths inch thick steel dry storage canisters in the same location.
Want to guess what the economic impact will be resulting from this fiasco? Californians won't know the answer to that question for decades, but you can bet it will be very, very costly.
There was only one reporter claiming it to be true.
Two reporters wrote that story.
Buzzfeed is the downstream source, the original upstream source is the author of the article itself.
The reporters wrote the story for Buzzfeed, Buzzfeed published it, Buzzfeed *is the source.*
And...the special council has said it's BS.
Special counsel spokesperson Peter Carr said:
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate."
Inaccuracies in descriptions of specific statements and characterizations of documents and testimony doesn't equate to "BS."
Those are just ridiculous titles for money that went towards more practical things, like moving heroine for the CIA.
"Heroine" means a woman admired or idealized for her courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
"Heroin" is diacetylmorphine, a powerful opioid drug.
1. There were two reporters on that article, not one.
2. There haven't been any retractions to the original article...I just checked.
3. I believe you meant that Buzzfeed is the source upstream...all the other agencies are downstream.
I'm in no rush to judge. Time will sort this out. From the reactions it is generating it appears this is really getting under the skin of POTUS and a lot of his minions.
Are they buying them to play in dad's 1993 Toyota Camry or the Nakamichi tape deck they inherited? Or do they just enjoy tape hiss, dropouts and/or wow and flutter?
Sure, I get tube amps, and I sorta get vinyl records. But cassette tapes? Really?

Nobody really cares.

Apple's model of forcing everyone to comply with their wishes is essentially a dictatorship. They decide what users can/can't do.
Dictatorships don't give you the choice of leaving the dictatorship. You can always pony up the cash and buy an Android phone and its crappy security.
Hmmm, do you have a background in O-Chem?
Thanks for the links. They are both interesting and informative.
Correct, and furthers my point that describing it as "metallic wood" is both misleading and inaccurate.
Just what we need, prosthetic legs spontaneously catching on fire.
We TOTALLY need that. Think of the youtube videos....

Sure, in a macabre way they're entertaining, but then I remember that if they can make it to 18 they will be eligible to vote.
Maybe AOC could help you with your vagina problem.
You are confusing blockchain with bitcoin mining. They are completely different things.

Mod this up, please.
Yeah. Honestly I never QUITE understood the wisdom of putting a NUCLEAR POWERPLANT in quake-prone area.
Not just a quake-prone area, one that is also vulnerable to liquefaction and tsunamis.
But how would you answer the question? Share your best thoughts in the comments. Why are scientists constantly surprised by what they discover?
Why would you care what we think? If you were a scientist you'd run a goddamn experiment and find the actual answer.

I've heard the distortion from a tube amp and cancel the distortion of the cassette. I've also heard the Earth is flat and vaccines cause autism.
That reminds me to look for my DEVO cassette...must listen to "Mongoloid".
