Were any of them any good?

Stocks, bonds, annuities

Interestingly (from Wikipedia):

…plasma uridine levels rose 1.8-fold 30 minutes after beer ingestion, suggesting, at the very least, conflicting data. On the other hand, ethanol on its own (which is present in beer) increases uridine levels, which may explain the raise of uridine levels in the study by Yamamoto et al.

beer good?

The researchers then bypassed exercise entirely, injecting recombinant PEDF into mice for 4 weeks. While the effects were not as profound as in the 8-week exercise experiment, PEDF was found to decrease some senescence markers in lung tissues.

It isn’t clear to me in which way the PEDF is working here, as the article points to many of the benefits of exercise in general: reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation reduction, and reduction of senescence-related factors. Still, seems to be doing something.

Certainly an interesting study. I hope we get to hear more about it soon, and hope their work is followed up on

It really seems like it.

Metaphors, how do they work?

Gen-X is a much smaller group than either Boomers or Millennials. It is treated differently mostly because of this. I don’t think we’re going to start treating Gen-X as the bully, because it just doesn’t have the numbers to be an effective bully

Nah, it’s good planning. While you stand there turning the handle, you have an excellent view of the town and all that’s going on. On the Republican side, you have to work with your back to all that’s going on, with little to look at but the fence

I am currently wearing a pair of shorts that I bought sometime in the late '80s. The top blanket currently on my bed was made by my grandmother in the '70s. The clock right in front of me was made during WW2, but I’ve only had it for a couple of decades. I guess I just don’t throw shit away

Edit: now that I think of it, my bed is probably from the '30s or '40s.

Surely, not proofreading the title before submitting disappointed him more than whatever you were trying to say
