Astounding. “These patients were able to regain some level of bladder control, which is very important. And also bowel function. They were able for the first time in many years to control their bathroom routine as well as feel their bodies and move again.”
Shows that there continues to be so much we do not understand about how our minds and bodies work. Brought to you by science, hope, and the will to help others through insurmountable odds.

A number of source websites expose their source via the git:// protocol. Unfortunately, the git protocol recently broke on one I used, but the git http:// protocol was working. Instead of changing my fetching scripts, I found a clever url replacement in git using the following command:
git config --global url.https://gitsite.com/.insteadOf git://gitsite.com/
This allows you to change the protocol per URL instead of globally. Exactly what I needed.
Ever wanted to be able to run around in a tree like a squirrel when you were a kid? I did.
Wading calf-deep into what looks like an infinite pool of water, visitors to Tokyo’s Odaiba Minna no YUME-TAIRIKU 2016 festival walk slowly through teamLab‘s latest light mapping installation. A shallow pool of water is completely surrounded by mirrored ceiling and walls. Thousands of computer generated koi fish that are projected around the viewer’s feet. The fish change speeds as they navigate the waters, often crashing into observers and bursting into scattered flowers upon contact.

Berlin-based Raubdruckerin (pirate printer) produces shirts and bags imprinted with manhole covers, vents, and utility grates. The collective applies ink directly to the streets and prints on-site in locations like Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Paris and then sell their creations through an online shop.
Serial ports are a thing of yesteryear, but never seem to go away. If you have a USB adapter that exposes serial ports to your favorite Linux branch, knowing how to get to them isn’t intuitive.
puTTY is a great terminal emulator, and you can connect to whichever port is exposed using the following format:
sudo putty /dev/ttyUSB0 -serial -sercfg 115200,8,n,1,NIf it’s on a different port, use /dev/ttyUSB1, etc.
As for cables that expose a serial port via USB, I recommend the Sabrent USB 2.0 to Serial (9-Pin) DB-9 RS-232 Converter Cable using the Prolific Chipset.
Stepping barefoot on a Lego is an experience everyone has had and few want to relive.
So why not do it on a treadmill?
Hike Yourself Into Shape: 10 Conditioning Hikes Near Portland
Paul Gerald makes a great list of hikes designed to get you back in shape. I agree with this list whole-heartedly, but they do ramp up in difficulty very quickly. You might want to do some of these hikes (or find one of similar distance/elevation gain) more than once before moving up to the next level of difficulty. Also, hikes like the Elk-King traverse and Table mountain can be technically difficult and have exposure/very real falling dangers. So, definitely do your homework before going.
Here’s the abbreviated list:
