…at which whites need not apply.
Biological Age Reversal
Can it be done with a drug cocktail?
I’ve known Greg Fahy for decades, going back to Alcor days, when he was doing research on organ preservation for the Red Cross, but which would be applicable to cryonic suspension. He was in Rockville, MD back then, but he’s now in southern California. Unfortunately, it’s out in Riverside, so not particularly convenient to visit him.
“Smart” Appliances
Bob Zimmerman says try to stick with the dumb ones.
[Monday-morning update]
Seeing a lot of war stories in comments about the benefits of agitators, or their lack. I guess the lesson is to look at user reviews of washers before buying one.

Don’t move there; it’s rotting from within.

The Democrats let their fascist gun-grabbing freak flag fly.
Kerbal Space Program
So, one of the reasons I upgraded my computer was so that I could do things like running Kerbal. I’ve got a new motherboard, with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, and 32G of RAM. But when I load KSP, I develop cursor lag. Is this because I only have two gig of memory on the graphics card?
End Of An Era
I’ve been noticing that every time I go to Fry’s the shelves are emptier and emptier, and fewer and fewer staff. I went looking for a graphics card today, and they had a grand selection of zero. They are clearly not restocking inventory. I doubt they’ll make it to the end of the year. Discussion here. I had to go to Best Buy (which was fortunately just down the street).
This is frustrating, because they were one of the last places you could buy computer and electronics components off the shelf. But they couldn’t compete with next-day, or even in some cases same-day delivery from Amazon.
