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.

My apartment has both a local fire detector and a building fire alarm.

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.

> 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."
