Thought experiment: You're the NSA, and @snowden is in HK mid-2013 going public, and you realize he took some unknown set of highly sensitive military documents. You have to assume the worst. Just from this alone, significant damage is an obvious conclusion, just from the uncertainty of what was or was not taken. That he later said something about leaving "breadcrumbs" was either insulting or ignorant of the reality of the impact of his actions.
For a lot of people that die natural deaths they could have lived longer if they had kept fit. It just gets really hard to either do or justify when everything hurts and gets harder to do year over year. Or when you are confined to a wheelchair since your early 20s, were told you would only live two years, and then beat that prognosis 27 times over.
But if you are able, even small amounts of cardio exercise could dramatically extend your health and lifespans in old age.
I actually had no idea he was that old. Maybe he looked younger than he was because he had no wrinkles.
If you get a sleep mask, be sure to look for one designed to not put pressure on your eyes, which are not hard to find if you seek it out. The cheap ones you get at pharmacies and dollar stores put direct pressure on the eyeballs and it's a wonder that anyone can tolerate them and are perhaps even harmful.
Regardless of the exact reasons why plasticity declines with age, it's obvious that any fix is a long way off. I wouldn't take this news as positive, rather negative, actually, since it just means we have yet more work to do
Like, instead of saying "I always lamented the idea that as we grew older we generated less and less neurons" the GP can now say "I always lamented the idea that [other unknown mechanism behind declining plasticity]". Hardly good news.
Catch them in one lie, and you get off scot free. Source: been dealing with the "justice" system since I was 17, most recently last year where I recorded an agent of the court committing perjury.
Yes, nothing happens to them but most importantly, they've never been able to convict me of anything.
When is perjury not transcribed anyway?
