"Musk gives employees two days to commit to 'hardcore' Twitter or lose their jobs"

"the report didn't quite delve into the specifics of Musk's expectations,
but the executive apparently said it means 'working long hours at high intensity'." :o

:scratch: Chinese technology assembly seems good reference for 'hardcore' work environment.
And with so much talent being dIscarded, new Twitter competition seems inevitable! ;)

"Scientists create a vaccine for FENTANYL - the frighteningly potent opioid killing 200 Americans a DAY:

:scratch: So, vaccines can be created for all sorts of behaviors that often have serious side effects!
In this case, college laziness could be jab-prevented. College or not, excess food consumption
would be another valuable jab prevention. 8)

" 'Free-range' mother, 29, who is raising four kids with NO rules admits she lets them drink coffee, eat SAND, bathe in PUDDLES, and go barefoot - insisting her unique parenting style has made their whole family happier ... believes that letting them try different things will eventually teach them what's safe and what isn't - even if they learn it the hard way" :roll:

:idea: A "survival of the fittest" perspective since "hard way" is often riskier. This will be interesting happiness when the children get access to drugs, alcohol, weapons, etc. ;)

(yet many young critters are eaten by their enemies),
these "free range" parents probably still supervise.

" 'xenogender', means a gender beyond human understanding" :o

Since one gender usually understands itself, a pair of xenos would have no understanding

"In Brazil, two moms dragged a TPF out of a bathroom because it exposed its penis
to two little girls using the girl's room." :o

:idea: Emotive language, but underscores the problem:

Young girls, especially, are not prepared to learn that human sexuality is no longer traditional.
And even those who know are rarely prepared to share previously isolated spaces.
Also, mandating new-era bathroom usage is not considered "preparation". :roll:

"The paleo diet is an eating plan that mimics how prehistoric humans may have eaten. It involves eating whole foods that people could theoretically hunt or gather. Before modern agriculture developed around 10,000 years ago, people typically ate foods that they could hunt or gather, such as fish, lean meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds."

:idea: Interestingly, the modern "paleo diet" avoids grains and legumes,
but new research reveals what prehistoric humans were really eating:

A least, a timely respite :!: My only wild turkey moments this year have been trying to make sense
of anti- and pro-vaccine chatter. Apparently, a left-brain / right brain conundrum that depends
on your political perspective (with "No Brainer!" the obvious mantra on both sides). :roll:

"Secrets of 'SuperAgers' with superior memories into their 80s"

"To be a SuperAger, a term coined by the Northwestern researchers, a person must be over 80 and undergo extensive cognitive testing. Acceptance in the study only occurs if the person’s memory is as good or better than cognitively normal people in their 50s and 60s."

"SuperAgers share similar traits ... stay active physically ... tend to be positive. They challenge their brain every day, reading or learning something new — many continue to work into their 80s ... social butterflies, surrounded by family and friends, and can often be found volunteering in the community."

:idea: "Superaging" seems focused on brain functionality more than body appearance, albeit the body would need to keep up with the mind. The traits suggest that the brain needs a great variety of daily input, especially the kind that occurs in socialization (including stresses requiring learning and problem solving). "Active physically" suggests lotsa physical exercise to keep the body in shape to support the mind. ;)
