  • Scientists find humans age dramatically in two bursts – at 44, then 60

    Jump

  • Yeah West in his seminal "Scale" kind of corroborates the whole story.

    It seems, though, that the molecular changes you are undergoing do not immediately translate into increased mortality, so you're going to have several more years of - presumably - feeling well until the big drop-off starts for all of us at about 60.BTW, because of its wide range of topics, its solid scientific underpinnings and its excellent intellectual accessibility, this is one of two books I positively think should be taught at any school, the other one being Solé's "Phase Transitions."

  • First picture looks like a Borg cube.

  • TIL that a high school in Pennsylvania issued an Apple MacBook to each of its 2,306 students, then remotely activated the webcams to spy on the students at home.

    Jump

  • After I had turned off the webcam in my system settings, my boss twice commented on the shirt I was wearing while WFH. So then I glued two layers of duct tape over the entire upper rim of the laptop, and it never happened again. They did, however, seem inexplicably distraught when we had the next Teams call.

  • TIL Only about 9% of plastic ever produced has been recycled.

    Jump

  • Once they touch the factory floor's floor, plastics become filthy and cannot be used for high-quality applications - food wrappers, anything with body contact. Oils and heavy metals are the biggest contaminants, a plastics-producing company I used to work for concluded. They either sent it all to a recycling factory or used it for very low-quality stuff like trash bags.Now with post-consumer plastics, not only are they extremely heterogeneous, they will also have even worse contaminants like mold which proved to be very resistant to cleaning, a EU study concluded. So you might want to pyrolyze them like you do with crude oil, but there's just too much O, N, S and halogens, so the output will be too corrosive, but also too heterogeneous for it to make economic sense.

  • Men in their 40s, what’s one piece of advice for men in their 20s?

    Jump
    • Don't be afraid of loneliness; don't be afraid of too many people around; don't be afraid of sharing your life with an SO you think you don't really know. As you age, these phases tend to blunt and blend together, like the seasons. The only thing you really have, in the end, is yourself.
    • Adult life is a lot more about compromising than fighting. Don't make other people's life shitty on purpose, neither allow them to make yours shitty.
    • Get your regular medical check-outs.
    • Leave a place if you positively can't stand it any longer, and start from scratch. It'll be okay.

  • On a side note, that movie about him was A LOT better than I would have imagined.

  • Why the far right is surging all over the world: The “reactionary spirit” and the roots of the US authoritarian moment

    Jump

  • That 1935 piece surely seems prophetic. For example this part:

    Development of the anti-scientific and anti-cultural campaign, cutting down of education

    For the last five or so years, I've been noticing a surge of anti-intellectualism. People are not any longer ashamed to publicly dismiss "smart alecks" and "know-it-alls".

  • Sleepy idea rule

  • That's it! That's it! Flaming globes of Sigmond! Flaming Globes of Sigmond! That's my note! That's what I thought was so funny... That's not funny. There's nothing funny about that.

  • As the old and venerable neuromonkey once said:

    Welp. Just let the nukes fly, then. First it's "on accident," and before long you've got meth addicted baby prostitute warlords running the local Walmart.

  • When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp.
