>Sleeping well, eating well and exercising does work. Science about this is well-established. So why arent we?

Those will give you at best another marginal decade. By all means worth doing but its not radical life extension. At the same time a young body can take lack of sleep and can physically perform even if not exercising much better than an old one. So there's more to it than just lifestyle.

Most longevity enhancing interventions that have worked in mice have extended healthspan and lifespan at the same rate.

The volume of batteries wasn't there, neither did we really have the network to sell scrap batteries like we do with used cars.

I still don't understand how Putin managed to convince so many people that a rule that exclusively works to his benefit is a good idea. Weak of mind.

>For a lot of content Facebook groups are much better than forums

Facebook groups are very disjointed and the algo does a bad job and keeping the good bits floating to the top.

>lucky for humanity

perhaps the word lucky isn't the correct one, since lots of people worked hard to push for the initial government programs that kick-started the economies of scale. And Tesla for making viable EVs both a reality as well as desirable for a growing chunk of the population.

>What model year? I'm guessing it's an older one?

Not 100% sure which year since it wasn't mine I think around 2018 +-2y. It was good at following bright painted white lines and nothing else. I didn't mind the beeping and the vibration when I stepped on a line but it wanted to actively steer the wheel which was infuriating. I wouldn't mind it if it was just a suggestion.

Ive had similar experience with a Hyundai with steering assist. It would get confused by messed road lining all the time. Meanwhile it had no problem climbing a road curb that was unmarked. And it would try to constantly nudge the steering wheel meaning I had to put force into holding it in place all the time since it which was extra fatigue.

Oh and it was on by default, meaning I had to disable it every time I turned the car on.

Radiosurgery has it's limits and also horrible side effects esp in CNS tumors. If the tumor can be accessed without damaging too much healthy tissue and it's a histological type that has clean borders you are probably better off cutting it out.

The audacity to believe you know everything about this subject.

Super-high dosages are used in loading protocols before switching to a smaller maintenance dosage.

The decline in price per kg from Falcon 9 has made a big difference and yet it's nowhere near as impactful as Starship is going to be... falcon 9 is either too powerful for LEO missions and limited by fairing volume( so can't really launch space stations on a falcon 9) or too weak to push further into GEO and into the solar system. Starship will enable a lot of LEO applications previously unthinkable.

A large fraction because they get the energy almost for free. In Brazil they are using mining to compensate for the low viability in financial terms.
