> So if a joint doesn’t go through its full range—if the hips and knees never go past 90 degrees—the body says ‘I’m not being used’ and starts to degenerate and stops the production of synovial fluid.”
And,

As far as the first one, I'd say, so what? More fluid means healthier? Why?
As far as the second one, correlation doesn't prove causation. We should stop pretending this is the case with everything.
> At best, we might undertake [squatting] during Crossfit, pilates or while lifting at the gym, but only partially and often with weights (a repetitive maneuver that’s hard to imagine being useful 2.5 million years ago)
I kind of go along with that. Squatting with a bar on your back is a weird maneuver.
A few people have been saying that. But, how can you possibly know? It sounds like a platitude one tells themselves in order to not feel self-conscious, rather than an actual discernable fact.
You assert these things exist without going into any of them. PoS is very new and complex and there are many differences between implementations, much more than in PoW.
Any dismissal you might have read would most likely been based on a previous version because the latest versions of PoS are quite new.
There doesn't always have to be a meaningful trade-off between different technologies that do the same thing. Is there a meaningful trade-off between a zipped wav file and one compressed with flac?
Jeez, just stop spreading FUD.
If someone is considering whether to drive to an event or get a ride, a coupon isn't going to sway them. They may want to show off their new car, or have the ability to take someone home with them, etc.
For people who drove to the event and drank too much there, they'll worry about their car. Also they'll take offense at being offered a ride. Alcoholics often have a lot of arrogance and would rather risk it than use a coupon to take a ride because they're "out of control", and take that hit to their pride.
This would only work if the law would allow for free transportation to the event, as controversial as that may be.
Wouldn't our ancestors carry far less, maybe max 90kg, then people do today? It doesnt make sense to brutally punish your joints with much more than that for part of that action and completely ignore the other part of it.
