More than three years into the pandemic, the millions of people who have suffered from long COVID finally have scientific proof that their condition is real.
NBC News reports: "Scientists have found clear differences in the blood of people with long COVID — a key first step in the development of a test to diagnose the illness."
Here's the original study in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06651-y
First, did y'all know the Techno Girls fansubbing group from back in the day is still alive?!?
I'm sending things over so I can get some physical copies of some things from them and I cannot explain how excited that makes me! #anime
This. Is. Amazing.
There’s another GOP candidate debate coming up with the leader of the pack notably missing again. The rest of them should have to answer questions that he has raised in his latest “Truth Social” postings about Gen. Mark Milley, Jack Smith and Fani Willis. Do they agree with him? Do they condemn his words? The GOP has got to start to take ownership for the things their de facto leader says. They can’t be allowed to continue to deflect and dissemble.
@cubeyterra - It really is. Apparently the Amazon remaster was based on a 35mm "master" that needed to be delivered to WB at the time of filming.
The CGI had some upscaling done to it, since on that film it was still rendered at 480p, but is totally watchable compared to the DVDs. Only very rarely do you ever see any "scan lines."
@cubeyterra - Here's a screenshot of the Amazon remaster, the same shot as in the YouTube thumbnail I just shared.
@cubeyterra - The one thing I did notice in the Amazon remasters was the grain was SUPER obvious. In fact, I thought it was a defect!
@cubeyterra - The new Blu-rays look promising if they're based on the remasters that showed up on Amazon. They're 4:3 instead of 16:9, but at the same time, that's how it was broadcast, so I'm okay with the 4:3.
@webcomictalk - I used to, however it takes so long for me to do a comic due to health issues that it's not fair to take comissions any longer.
That worry when you see this go on for longer than it should, on one of the few working VCRs you have left. Thankfully, I just let the encoding go. Turns out it's just that one episode, and likely a problem with the VCR that recorded the show, not the one playing it.
One strike resolved, many to go....

@Aminorjourney - sounds like you're going with Hemmer then!
@Mondobizarrro - I'm mostly watching Space Precinct cause it's unintentionally hilarious.
@Mondobizarrro - Space 1999 is about as Gerry Anderson as I get. Mainly because they actually had a budget to match the idea.
