From the article:
By genetically boosting CAT–4 levels in the worms' muscles, the team was able to extend their lifespan even at normal or warmer temperatures, suggesting it's possible to reproduce some benefits of the cold without lowering body temperature.
"We were genuinely surprised to find the supplementation significantly extended lifespan, even at standard and warmer temperatures..."
My apartment has both a local fire detector and a building fire alarm.
The building fire alarm is soooo loud and obnoxious, you _want_ to leave the building at speed. (Which I think is the right way to do it.)
Excellently written summary.
I just saw the headline and wanted to reply "82044929".
> knowing absolutely nothing about the inner workings of the counter-narcotics operations, assert that there is no evidence that those people are drug runners
Well, he's correct that there is no evidence known to him, so there IS no evidence known to him.
To my knowledge, the administration has not released any evidence, only claims: "We know they are drug smugglers and we have evidence that we will not show you."
I can think of several faster ways.
Besides, if people know they'll be around for longer, they will have more incentive to take care of the place.
> Nothing is supposed to persist forever it doesn’t even make sense to try
Perhaps instead of "forever," we could settle for, let's say, a thousand years in good health?
> Russia is going to have a very hard time directly attacking the Eurozone without also hitting NATO home soil - which through Article 5 would also pull in plenty of non-Euro countries, including the United States.
That's the plan, but under Glorious Leader? Not clear which side he would attack (or possibly neither).
This article had me at pneumotachometers (emphasis mine):
> Unno used a pair of pneumotachometers (instruments to measure volume flow of respired gases) in parallel for his experiments to determine the velocity, volume, and time scale of blowing through each side of the nose over 60 trials.
That may be, but it's still what many people want.
Well, if you die of heart disease first, yes. In a way.
How bad are pull requests?

> wait until at least the X.1 release
I think that applies to almost all software, not just Apple OSes. After all, Confucius said: "The only thing worse than old software is new software."
I'm using LiveCode for a dozen personal applications (and for just the fun of coding; I'm a retired s/w engineer). It's no longer free, but I started with HyperCard and LiveCode is an excellent replacement, at least for me.
And carrying stuff, the Lug Age.
Note that "360 Patches" is 360 uses of strncpy that have been removed, not necessarily bugs.
Yes, and people keep paying ridiculous prices for the first and for ads for the second.
> He never gave us a fucking manual in the first place, so who knows what He is thinking.
He did give us a manual. He very clearly says that slavery is okay and eating shrimp is a sin, and lots of other rules.
> non-local hidden variable
Like, global variables?
Someone should be fined a bazillion dollars and disbarred for life for this indictment. Like every lawyer and law firm involved in the prosecution.
A billion years of kludges.
> Seriously, I wonder about why it's supported.

Holy... freaking... FSM.
Also, your username is amusing.
I've heard that a non-Mensan asked a Mensan what it's like at a Mensa event. They replied, "If I have to explain something during a conversation, I only have to explain it _once_."
I see your point, but voters are not voting based on the candidate's intelligence levels.
Crashing the economy in order to put all the blame on already marginalized scapegoats may well be the point.
