I thought this was a solved concept. Telomeres shorten based on cellular division and eventually the cells just don't divide anymore. The net effect is that the body stops replenishing itself and voila, old age. Unless you do something about that...
Exactly. I thought I read somewhere that in most cancer cells, their telomeres (sp?) don't shrink. Most cancer cells are 'immortal' so to speak because of this and explains partly why they grow and expand uncontrollably.
That would be the problem. Attempt to manipulate this little part of their biology and not end up like the folks on Miri's Planet...
This is the sort of thing that SJW's should be fighting against......instead they decide to focus their efforts on restricting speech in some of the most liberal places on Earth.
You would think they would, but in that part of the world, you would get your teeth kicked out by the police and your ass thrown in a hole and turned loose whenever they feel like it.
Not like here in the States where they have 'rights'
Considering your UID, that's unlikely. Most if not all of the machines from the 80s and 90s were dumb. They'd walk across the floor if the load's unbalanced.
Uhhhh....my mother's Kenmore washing machine (bought back in the late 70s) had an out-of-balance detector on it that would stop the motor and sound a VERY loud buzz when the machine was out of balance and would not continue until the condition was resolved.
That's not quite how it works. In zero g, just adding Helium pressure to a tank won't accomplish much. You either have to use some kind of pressurized bladder to force the liquid down (ok for thrusters, too big a weight penalty for the main engine fuel and oxidizer) or supply a small acceleration, say from auxiliary thrusters, to settle the liquid to the bottom of the tank prior to ignition. Then He pressure can push the liquid into the main pumps which, in turn, provide enough pressure to force the liquid into the engine against its internal pressure.
Ullage motors are used to force the propellants to the bottom of the tank...mostly
I'm not sure how it is in other countries but in Canada there are quite a few things landlord as originals that appear to simply be content they are the exclusive regional distributor for rather than the creator.
You can't kidnap your own child. If there was sarcasm, it was in the use of "kidnapping" to refer to a rescue, but you obviously can't even consider it.
Uhhhh....In many states you can, especially in contested custody cases. See folks thrown in jail all the time taking their own children from grandparents (who have been granted legal custody), or ex-spouses without their permission....
When people desperately believe there is one true villain responsible for all of life's ills like libertarians do - a believe that has never been true anywhere about anything because nothing has ever been that simple - they will see that villain everywhere, even where he is conspicuously NOT the guilty party.
Or is the "nanny state" you refer to the courts ? Who made the mistake of listening to medical professionals ? You seriously would prefer we get rid of the court system ?
Sure, let's go back to settling disputes with brawls. That worked so much better...
I found it interesting and entertaining. It peaked my interest enough to look up "Moon Cake." I now know another thing I didn't know before. I liked this one.
Same here! Interesting kind of food. Some variants look pretty tasty. Don't know about the bean filling, tho...
Way off, buddy. I'm one of those eurotrash types who lives in a (still) democratic country. Unfortunately you USians are doing your damnest to destroy what's left of democracy all over the world. But I digress. It's a long standing tradition in your mighty country to buy your way into politics. Show me a politician not backed up by some lobby group (BTW nice euphemism for bribery) founded by some corporation. I'm not talking here about some obscure name from some obscure state but the ones from the federal level. Can you?
Windows 10 NSA Edition and Windows 10 Plebeian Edition?
There are no other operating system than Windows 10. It is The One, The Only, The Nadella.
Please just shut the fuck up.......squawk squawk !! Windows 10!! squawk squawk !! NSA in a black van outside your door!! squawk squawk !! The OS spies on my pr0n surfing!! squawk squawk !!
Which is why the TSA is asking people to show up 3 hours before the flight instead of 2 hours...
Because there is always a bunch of dumbasses that shows up with a freaking van-load of luggage that insists on having it all as carry-on, which takes the TSA drones forever to check. There is also a bunch of dumbasses that wear boots or shoes that takes 30 minutes to take off so that they can be put on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Dumbass folks don't do any research on how to get thru the TSA lines quickly. Wear slip-on shoes that you can quickly take off and on! Wear pants that don't require a BELT! Put all of your baggage as checked baggage and quit trying to cram into the overhead bins!
Totally off topic, but I feel a lot better now that I have gotten that off my chest.
Not necessarily and not defending the Apple Fanboi.......for some idiotic reason, I got an HTC One M8 Windows phone with my last phone upgrade and it is a pretty fast operating phone. Battery usage is VERY low (could probably go 2 days before recharging, but I charge every night (with 80% charge left) out of habit)... if the app selection was a little more diverse I wouldn't mind keeping it in the long term.
But the other day a friend of mine got a new Samsung phone with Android and out of the box it actually felt slower than mine as far as response to user inputs goes...
You have better tools to do more things but those tools came from skilled developers.
In the "apps" world what I see is indeed more and more apps, about 95% or more of them crappy. Unskilled developers produce bad apps.
Let them be. They will come crawling back to us when these crap apps start eating their margins.
Not to mention the stellar security that these apps will come with. A motley crew of Russian or what have you hackers will clean out their databases and/or bank accounts before they have a chance to crawl back.

Talk about uncanny valley.....
Rejoice...... :/
You just take the red pill...

Mod post informative.....
Racist! \s
No, the poster is probably right..... Islamic countries are very strict on how you interact with the opposite sex...

I call bullshit or very shitty machine design...
You call that a car? That's more like a glorified wheelchair.
Pfffffttt.......we already got Transformers in most Chevy Camaro dealerships and here is proof! ;)

Wat?
Exactly. We just need to make sure no flies get into the pods before the doors shut.
And since we are beaming ourselves over fiber, pray that backhoe fade doesn't hit while transporting....

Private hospitals. Now part of the 'nanny state'.

I'd rather have pistols at 20 paces, myself....
Yea, they will release the document, but it will be 100% redacted....so total waste of time...

Can you?
You hit it right on the head...
"Despite common believe, IT employees are not able to live on half a can of mountain dew a day."
That's "belief", and I don't think Mountain Dew comes in cans... WTF.
You can buy it in every grocery store around here in cans.....

Just the most recent high-end phones. If you have something slightly older, then no soup for you.
Agreed. I have had my phone only one year and it is not compatible...
