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.

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

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

This article is a good start to inform others that there are other types of intelligence that are overlooked. https://www.techquila.co.in/the-nine-types-of-intelligence/

From my point of view, this list is still lacking. I think it lacks something about Spirituality, Wisdom, emotional, hustle -- these are still not recognized.

Would you drink camel milk?
I would. I tried soy and oat milk, and goat milk, so I'm open to other kinds of milk :)

And so. AWS Summit NY just came to a close. I didn't get a single shirt this time. Through the years swag has dwindled. I used to get a boatload of shirts in the past, bit not anymore. At least, there's still free booze. So all is good.
