If there's one thing i can share to you today is this post from Brain Pickings: https://www.brainpickings.org/2019/10/23/13-learnings-13-years/

special emphasis on #10: "Don’t just resist cynicism — fight it actively."

@chengeling are the action figures articulated? (limbs movable?) are the parts swappable? please send more info (availability, price, size, etc) thanks!

i've been getting a hang of Into The Breach. It's a big change of pace from my previous high-speed, high-intensity #mech game of Titanfall2.

@MicroSFF You are hired! :D

Please stop. There is nothing special about lefties. We are just like everyone else. http://mentalfloss.com/article/84560/are-lefties-really-more-creative

Good news for transhumanists? https://www.techexplorist.com/it-might-be-possible-to-reverse-a-persons-biological-age/26325/

I am left-handed. And I honestly tell you, that I really tried to be right-handed while growing up. (I can write with my right-hand because I forced myself during high-school) But i switched back to writing with my left. Other things I didn't even try to change, I punch & kick with my left, chopsticks on my left, etc. Because it felt so natural to me. But I still find it hard to believe that there are genetic predespositions and brain differences for lefties, even after reading this article. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-49579810

I like the fact that 'Healthspan' is the goal, rather than 'lifespan'. Go, go senolytics! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/sep/02/the-science-of-senolytics-how-a-new-pill-could-spell-the-end-of-ageing

I'm enjoying this beer with green tea! NJ Ninja from Departed Soles! Jersey City is the best!

This is a very interesting development in Exosuits.
Pretty soon soldiers will be wall-running just like in #Titanfall https://boingboing.net/2019/08/16/exoskeleton-shorts-that-amplif.html
