  • Woman used as an adjective like this sounds so wrong to me (probably because it isn't an adjective). If you wouldn't say man voter, man driver, men reporters, etc., then why would you say woman voter, women drivers, woman reporter? Just because some people use 'female' in a way that you object to shouldn't make all uses of it objectionable. Do you want a world in which we can say 'male patients', but have to say 'woman and girl patients' instead of female patients? Why??

  • What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then
  • So, what you're saying is ... sometimes there's a movie... I won't say a film, 'cause, what's a film? But sometimes, there's a movie. And I'm talkin' about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there's a movie, well, it's not the movie for its time and place.

  • Sex differences in how the body reduces pain.
  • I would not have guessed that there was a difference between the sexes in meditation, but having heard so I am not overly surprised. While many practices (like, say, yoga) seem more or less evenly split between the sexes, when I think of meditation I do more strongly associate the practice with men (usually monks/ascetics). Who knew?

    www.nature.com A metabolic atlas of blood cells in young and aged mice identifies uridine as a metabolite to rejuvenate aged hematopoietic stem cells - Nature Aging

    Zeng, Shi, Han, Hu, Li, Wei et al. present a metabolic atlas covering 15 hematopoietic cell types from young and aged mice. By screening metabolites that are depleted with age, they identify that uridine treatment can restore function in aged hematopoietic stem cells.

    IL-11 is identified as a key regulator of ERK–AMPK–mTORC1 signalling, metabolism, inflammation and age-related disease and lifespan in mouse and human.

    Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan - Nature

    Here we examined whether IL-11, a pro-inflammatory cytokine of the IL-6 family, has a negative effect on age-associated disease and lifespan.

    Stoke Space test-fires new booster engine Stoke Space has test-fired a highly efficient engine it is developing for the first stage of its fully reusable launch vehicle.

    Stoke Space test-fires new booster engine

    The engine uses a design called full-flow staged combustion, where both the engine’s fuel and oxidizer — liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen, respectively — go through separate preburners before going into the main combustion chamber.

    Turn off community name scrolling?

    I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

    I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

    Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

    Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here
