This is all to please trump, bit my guess is that these won't materialize. They will get canceled the second trump is looking elsewhere or leaves the white house

Utility bots that are summoned on demand, probably, as long as we have a good process to kick them out if they are not helpful.

Regular commenter bots? Certainly not. The point of lemmy is to talk with other humans.

Reading the paper, exercise alone had no effect on these "biological clocks". So, the results are promising, but given the lackluster results of the trial on other outcomes (blood pressure, mortality, falls, etc.), I'd be cautious before jumping to conclusions.

I think the main question is how exercise alone compares to exercise +supplements. If I have time later I'll try to dig into the paper.

Gruyères, Switzerland. 2000 inhabitants. Famous for the famous Swiss cheese of the same name.

Not a direct answer, but I highly recommend reading Outlive, by Peter Attia. It's completely changed the way I think about these things. And it's actually grounded in science.

When you're a government, you need a little more process to ensure things are done well (moderation, security, ...). Even something simple like that could take valuable time from quite a few people.

Sad but unfortunately fairly justified. Hard to justify spending public money on 3,500 users.

Just because it's dangerous and not always fun doesn't make it a "mission". Exactly like when some rich schmuck pays 150k to climb Everest.

Can we stop calling it a "mission"? This is an expensive vacation for billionaires, not a scientific endeavor.

 

AliExpress can offer great deals, but it's also very easy to get scammed, receive a cheap knock-off, or even end up with nothing at all. The search engine isn't very helpful, often mixing reputable merchants with sketchy ones and real products with junk.

So far, I've found the AliUp extension, which seems fairly helpful. I wish there were third-party websites with independent reviews, but I haven't found anything truly helpful or comprehensive yet.

So, what are your tips for buying on AliExpress or similar platforms?

How do you explain that amyloid-targetting therapies are seeing some success, even if limited?

 

Is it true that you can only cancel insurance contracts at the end of a calendar year? Do you need to send a registered letter? When?

For telecom services (mobile, home internet), how can you switch providers without too much downtime and ideally without losing your phone number?

Thank you!
