>Sleeping well, eating well and exercising does work. Science about this is well-established. So why arent we?
Those will give you at best another marginal decade. By all means worth doing but its not radical life extension. At the same time a young body can take lack of sleep and can physically perform even if not exercising much better than an old one. So there's more to it than just lifestyle.
The interventions that have worked in laboratory mice seem unlikely to translate to humans. Those mice live in nice safe flat little cages where there's no risk of trauma or infectious disease. In the real world a frail old human will fall down the stairs, break a hip, lose mobility, and end up dead within a few years because of that original injury.
A lot of the reasoning around MAD seems a bit nuts. Really if you have the nukes to get fifty hits on the enemy that's enough to deter them. You don't really need thousands.
perhaps the word lucky isn't the correct one, since lots of people worked hard to push for the initial government programs that kick-started the economies of scale. And Tesla for making viable EVs both a reality as well as desirable for a growing chunk of the population.
Ive had similar experience with a Hyundai with steering assist. It would get confused by messed road lining all the time. Meanwhile it had no problem climbing a road curb that was unmarked. And it would try to constantly nudge the steering wheel meaning I had to put force into holding it in place all the time since it which was extra fatigue.
Oh and it was on by default, meaning I had to disable it every time I turned the car on.
My Hyundai is a 2021 and I have to turn on the steering assist every time which I find annoying. My guess is that you had an earlier model where the steering assist was more liability than asset.
It's understandable that earlier versions of this kind of thing wouldn't function as well, but it is very strange that they would have it on by default.
Not 100% sure which year since it wasn't mine I think around 2018 +-2y. It was good at following bright painted white lines and nothing else. I didn't mind the beeping and the vibration when I stepped on a line but it wanted to actively steer the wheel which was infuriating. I wouldn't mind it if it was just a suggestion.
Radiosurgery has it's limits and also horrible side effects esp in CNS tumors. If the tumor can be accessed without damaging too much healthy tissue and it's a histological type that has clean borders you are probably better off cutting it out.
It didn't sound like arrogance to me. The "if" at the start of the sentence indicates they are not asserting their conclusion as the only truth. That said, if toxicity is a large concern, it's strange that companies sell such high dosages at least without some kind of warning. I bet a sufficient warning would prevent at least some cases of toxicity
A lot of OTC medications have potential issues and interactions. That said, my primary care recommended I take vitamin D based on blood work and no one has batted an eye at my taking 5K IU. So the idea that's some widely-accepted radically dangerous dose is simply untrue. (Doesn't mean it's a wrong idea but it's not one that doctors generally accept.)
