I’m pretty sure the Greek and Japanese longest living people were achieving their age less through diet and more through pension fraud. They live as long as equally wealthy places if they were born after good birth records started being kept
The Polynesians have sugar cane which has caused them health problems since before they had access to processed food, Japan is too far north for sugar cane.
Yeah it was all pension fraud, but the current idea of a Mediterranean diet has had quite a bit of testing since and is probably healthy
Cutting out processed food is going to be healthy anyway
The best thing for massive life expectancy increases in your country:
The problem is coming up with a solution to give us the advances (Tesla successfully made electric cars desirable, inspiring other companies to make them too, before Musk went and showed everyone how shit he is; SpaceX are the cheapest launch provider) but prevents the person who owns the company from owning the wealth it produces, and inspires those people to try
Neither Tesla nor SpaceX would exist either if Musk had not been able to take a large share of the sale of PayPal
The obvious way is preventing them from passing ownership and assets to their children, so let one person be ultra wealthy but not their successors (to keep from owning companies, government could sell off whatever shares it acquired) but good luck getting that sort of law up with billions of dollars against you
I’m pretty sure Microsoft doesn’t get to see everything you write or draw in office
Regarding rocket propellant
Methane is more dense than hydrogen
Methane makes more thrust than hydrogen
Hydrogen rockets need to have huge fuel tanks, hydrogen rockets have low thrust - the space shuttle needed boosters to lift off
Everything in space is a trade off, kerosene is better in all those ways than methane, but you can make methane on Mars. The global warming potential isn’t much as there are so few rocket launches, and hydrogen fuelled rockets use fossil hydrogen (made from fossil methane (aka natural gas)) because it is cheaper than alternatives
Australia adopted American innovations in good beer. What we complain about is that your mainstream beers are weak and boring, where ours are strong and boring
What I didn’t like is in some states (such as New York) when I was last there don’t require beer to carry alcohol content information, so buying good beer I had to trust that the beer was going to be about the right strength for the style
One thing I liked about Amtrak is they sold good local beers on board, though I only experienced Amtrak in the north east (having been told that that was the best way to arrive in New York City)
That was a fun film
I would love it if the books were written, there are several things I want to see resolved
We live in a microplastic flavoured world mate. I don’t recall talking smack about milk
They’re called blinkers - the horse vision limiters
I was drinking Red Eye before I could drink beer (18 in Australia) so probably in 1993 or '94. That has the same caffeine level as red bull, tasted better too.
Socialism tempers capitalism when balanced right. Let people pay the market rate for their choices, let society pay for health. America’s problem is too much is for profit, too little for the social good
But not electrical. 20W of power, but not electrical power
LED was available in the early 2000s I have a few remaining LED lights from about 2001 (and definitely from before 2004) still working. They are much heavier than modern LED lights due to large finned heat sinks and didn’t fit in my nicer light fittings. They weren’t in supermarkets then, you had to look for them, I may have bought them online
They only have such a chance if they are every written, and I doubt they will be
We’re old world monkeys a little more specifically, you can tell partly by our lack of tails
Meat lasts longer than that. I buy vacuum packed whole prime cuts of meat for about 10 to 12 days, that tastes as good on day 12 (out of vac pack for 2 days) as it did on day 1
I’m a homebrewer, so I have a boiler large enough to sous vide a turkey (or a lamb), but I do wonder where one would find a large enough bag, I think you’d have to weld several bags together
Bad measurements, cases contrary to the researcher’s point were excluded, the biggest factor in places with too many people over age 100 was pension fraud - 40 year olds claimed to be 60 to get a pension, 40 years later they’re 80 year olds pretending to be 100
