idk why so many people were having conniption fits over it.

It's because it isn't clear from the meme that the monkey is looking specifically at the interaction at the slits.

Yeah that's what I thought. Doesn't feel right for a democracy though.

Hopefully one of the Tory back benchers, perhaps one of the Truss group, will Matt Gaetz the place up for us.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe the data would be written out of order or something, but that wouldn't be the case. The data will be garbled by the encryption, but still written sequentially, or however the internal drive controller decides is best.

Maybe they're closer to the Mormons. They basically run the state of Utah. They also trawled the literature world and did everything they could to rewrite the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original Sherlock Holmes stories. The Mormons were the villains in A Study in Scarlet.

I think most reasonable people don't think they'll live forever, however under 30 many people might unconsciously act like it.

I see a lot of people thinking, or at least hoping, that they’ll live for hundreds of years, if not forever. They use the “exponential growth” idea and the “longevity escape velocity” theory as arguments, and use those to convince themselves that they will personally get to benefit from significant life extension.

However, these people are delusional. I've not met anyone like that, thankfully.

There is that one dude, from Sweden I think, a millionaire or whatever who owns some medical companies and he is completely focused on reducing the "biological age" of every part of his body.

Good diet and exercise are key. For example, lignin has been proven to reduce the chance of death in people who have had cancer - typically cancer reducing things have to be taken well before cancer develops to have any sort of an effect, but it's been shown that women who've had breast cancer and then start taking 12mg of lignin a day have an 80% reduced risk of death in 5 years compared to those who don't. It stands to reason that if you take it before developing cancer you can prevent it. So eat some seeds.

So, there are advancements, and strictly speaking we don't know what new endeavours might yield, but like you say any proper statistical analysis of lifespans - even if you were to apply an exponential curve to them - wouldn't lead to people living much past 100 any time soon.

What do we need to do to force a general election?

Is that a Pope Burger King hat?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, rocketing themselves in the foot-shaped hospital with that - or at least their government are. Even so, before they dug it all up I don't think they had sufficient infrastructure.

It's such a complex set of issues you can always whataboutism almost any point. Not that I'm knocking you for doing it.

Sure, but 20-40% slower? That points to something being poorly optimised.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

With such a severe slowdown, does that also mean it's going to be increasing usage of the drive and therefore shorten its lifespan?

Scotch bonnet? That's a treat, I'd eat one knowing full well what it is. I'd suffer, but wouldn't regret it.

I am a wuss though and I'd probably avoid the seeds, as well as I could.
