If you marry the wrong husband, it's helpful to have a items you can sell in order to rebuild. The costs of lab grown diamond vs. natural is like a 60% difference. I understand wanting a real diamond for such an odd contract as marriage.
No doubt, and to tech folk like you and me, it's a tiny amount of money but in the nightmare situation of trying to rebuild after an abusive marriage, the price of natural vs. lab grown makes a difference.
Yet another victim of the pandemic. Real shame since 6 months ago DreamWorks absolutely demolished the "sub-genre" with Puss n Boots. There's definitely an experience you get in a theater that can't quite be recreated at home with all it's distraxtions.
Why is Aaron Swartz not given co-founder status in this article? I'm not saying he was part of this review faking allegedly going on, just odd he's memory holed.
Because he wasn't a co-founder, he came in later and got a co-founder title retroactively for reasons. You can tell the story either way and there's nothing nefarious about failing to mention Swartz, who is not at high risk of being forgotten.
Redditors I've seen: 1. They don't know what's going on with their favorite subreddit being taken offline. 2. They agree with the protest but couldn't care less if some person doesn't get free / cheap API. 3. They are actively angry that a Reddit neckbeard took their business, show, hobby page offline, unilaterally.
I could see this backfiring and spez preventing subreddits with a certain following from going private in the future.
jaeger has a history as a traditional alpine bitter of serving some sort of medicinal purpose. like chartreuse or absinthe, lots of the herbal ingredients inside sometimes helped soothe upset tummies, or in the case of wormwood, expel parasites and worms.
> The median life span of taurine-treated mice increased by 10 to 12%, and life expectancy at 28 months increased by about 18 to 25%. A meaningful antiaging therapy should not only improve life span but also health span, the period of healthy living. We, therefore, investigated the health of taurine-fed middle-aged mice and found an improved functioning of bone, muscle, pancreas, brain, fat, gut, and immune system, indicating an overall increase in health span. We observed similar effects in monkeys.
I don't think any studies have shown red wine to have a clear casual impact like that, even just in mice.
MSM media is always trying to convince people they can live longer if they stick with coffee, berries, dark chocolate and wine — as if those foods needed boosters. And if true I’m quite sure we’d have people out there living to 150…
They have an incentive to boost "forbidden pleasure" foods that are popular with their subscribers. The subscribers get an excuse to do what they are already doing, the article feels dramatic because of the fake controversy, and the article is a little more viral by pretending to tell people something secret or surprising.
You probably can live longer if you stick with coffee (black), berries (minus the food you put the berries on top of), dark chocolate (unsweetened), and wine (in strict moderation).
A similar problem exists with Polonium-210 uptake in tobacco... although no one ever called tobacco healthy or safe. I basically live on dark chocolate, wine, red meat and tobacco, so we'll see what gets me first.
I'd really like to see that category broken down by sobriety. The overwhelming majority of my accidental self-inflicted injuries have happened when I was drinking. Broken shoulder (let's have sex on the arm of this chair... oops, it has wheels), broken kneecap (running upstairs), partially severed thumb (sure, I'll just open this plastic case with a knife!)...
David Sinclair wrote in "Lifespan"[1] that they extended mice lifespan by (iirc) something like 40% but amounts of resveratrol used was something like mentioned 750-1000 wine glasses daily when translated to humans.
While Wikipedia suggests that resveratrol is not proven to help with anything, I'm still taking 600mg in the morning, along with 600mg ALA and 100mg of CoQ10. Placebo is an effect, too.
I was chatting about resveratrol this very week with a colleague, ex pro athlete, writing about "Nutrition in Sports" for his PhD. Looking forward to discussing these findings with him.
The really interesting clincher wasn't the association of taurine with anti-aging, but the association of exercise with increased serum concentrations of taurine.
They tested it in mice and it increased lifespan, they never claimed it worked for humans in the study.
> To test whether taurine deficiency is a driver of aging in humans as well, long-term, well-controlled taurine supplementation trials that measure health span and life span as outcomes are required.
