So the number one reason people end in care facilities is because they can't get off the toilet, or up from being on the floor.

The stronger/healthier you are now (and maintain it), the less likely you will break a bone as you age.

We store calcium in our bones until about age 30, when it starts to slow. I think by age 50,its really slowed to a crawl. As we age, we become less and less efficient at storing calcium due to hormonal changes, which leads to weaker bones - why older people break bones more easily.

So build your muscles before age 40, as the strength of muscles impacts bone density (since they attach to bones, and the stress they induce at origin/insertion influences bone density). Trying to build muscle as you age gets more risky for because of this stress.

Also improve your cardiovascular capacity now. Ira easier to do than when older, has long term health influence, and isn't the risk of doing it when you're older.

Everything gets harder as we age. The more you improve conditioning now, the better tomorrow will be.

What a joke of an article.

Keep using fuck book, just change some settings and maybe block some things in your browser. They even advise "turn off location access for meta apps" and "disable your phone's advertising ID", like those make any difference (apps can still infer location from IP address and nearby wifi and Bluetooth devices). Never mind how the back ends can associate all sorts of other data to determine your location.

I've never had a Facebook account, I've never even been on the website, yet Zucktard has a profile on me. And I've blocked scripts in my browsers since 2005.

The suggestions in this article won't do anything, and give a false sense of making a difference.

Please do.

I don't recall 3d printers being a specifically enumerated right.

Should make for one helluva shit show.

My big concern how this will be used to justify even worse agendas.

Oh, wow, very cool.

I don't think the shuttle is a good example at all.

The reusability was just marketing shtick so a large enough vehicle could be built to launch multiple Hubble-chassis Keyhole satellites for the NSA. (It's probably more accurate to say the Hubble is built on a Keyhole satellite chassis).

Haha, nice.

I was going to downvote such a nonsensical idea (social app with you no people!) but clicked on the link out of curiosity.

So a note taking app. OK. Local storage only - hey, good on the dev. Ability to export and import, OK, now you're really making sense! More apps need to follow this approach.

Would've been a killer app 10 years ago (and I'm not being critical, I still think it's a great idea for some use-cases).

Melankolia by Chanel, of course! 😁

Honestly, looks like a generic oatmeal/natural/moisturizing, yada yada.

In a way, the FBI did, but your point about click bait is still valid.

By compromising the Command-and-Control server of the malware, they were able to have it direct clients to uninstall.

This does make me think about meanings of such things in today's deeply-interconnected world. For example, when a corporate admin tells their software management system to install/uninstall apps from machines, isn't that the same thing? (A bit rhetorical, more of something to think about, since I don't have a good answer to this).

Office 365, which I refuse to use for my personal computer.

I still use some Office apps from 2006 (Visio, Project) because they serve my personal needs.

Work? That's my employer's problem.

Totally off the wall question, which I realize probably isn't very meaningful, but I was watching a movie where a character was using a suppressed rifle. Looked like an AR/.223 (I assume).

Well it got me thinking - how much can a given gun be suppressed (decibel reduction) before performance is significantly reduced (I assume it must impact performance, even if just a little since it's attenuating sound waves, which are energy, but what do I know?).

I'm sure it varies by round/load, barrel length, etc, so let's assume a subsonic .223 round in a 14" barrel (is that a common lenth?). Or if you know a specific case that's fine too.

Surely there are reasons why a given suppressor is chosen for a specific use case, and I don't know enough to see that (diminishing returns for length/weight?)

I tried asking chatgpt, but it just returned generic suppressor info.
