You also get vitamin A (and the other fat soluble vitamins) from animal fats

More that it consumes you, than you doing any consuming.

Or don’t eat sugar

But not everyone can make vitamin A out of beta carotene. That’s why some vegans have eye problems

Bad measurements, cases contrary to the researcher’s point were excluded, the biggest factor in places with too many people over age 100 was pension fraud - 40 year olds claimed to be 60 to get a pension, 40 years later they’re 80 year olds pretending to be 100

I’m pretty sure the Greek and Japanese longest living people were achieving their age less through diet and more through pension fraud. They live as long as equally wealthy places if they were born after good birth records started being kept

The Polynesians have sugar cane which has caused them health problems since before they had access to processed food, Japan is too far north for sugar cane.

Yeah it was all pension fraud, but the current idea of a Mediterranean diet has had quite a bit of testing since and is probably healthy

Cutting out processed food is going to be healthy anyway

The best thing for massive life expectancy increases in your country:

1. Keep poor birth records
2. Offer generous age pensions

The problem is coming up with a solution to give us the advances (Tesla successfully made electric cars desirable, inspiring other companies to make them too, before Musk went and showed everyone how shit he is; SpaceX are the cheapest launch provider) but prevents the person who owns the company from owning the wealth it produces, and inspires those people to try

Neither Tesla nor SpaceX would exist either if Musk had not been able to take a large share of the sale of PayPal

The obvious way is preventing them from passing ownership and assets to their children, so let one person be ultra wealthy but not their successors (to keep from owning companies, government could sell off whatever shares it acquired) but good luck getting that sort of law up with billions of dollars against you

I’m pretty sure Microsoft doesn’t get to see everything you write or draw in office

Yeah, as a team leader I have sent people home. I don’t want my whole team sick

Regarding rocket propellant

Methane is more dense than hydrogen

Methane makes more thrust than hydrogen

Hydrogen rockets need to have huge fuel tanks, hydrogen rockets have low thrust - the space shuttle needed boosters to lift off

Everything in space is a trade off, kerosene is better in all those ways than methane, but you can make methane on Mars. The global warming potential isn’t much as there are so few rocket launches, and hydrogen fuelled rockets use fossil hydrogen (made from fossil methane (aka natural gas)) because it is cheaper than alternatives

Australia adopted American innovations in good beer. What we complain about is that your mainstream beers are weak and boring, where ours are strong and boring

What I didn’t like is in some states (such as New York) when I was last there don’t require beer to carry alcohol content information, so buying good beer I had to trust that the beer was going to be about the right strength for the style

One thing I liked about Amtrak is they sold good local beers on board, though I only experienced Amtrak in the north east (having been told that that was the best way to arrive in New York City)

That was a fun film

I would love it if the books were written, there are several things I want to see resolved

We live in a microplastic flavoured world mate. I don’t recall talking smack about milk

They’re called blinkers - the horse vision limiters

I was drinking Red Eye before I could drink beer (18 in Australia) so probably in 1993 or '94. That has the same caffeine level as red bull, tasted better too.

Socialism tempers capitalism when balanced right. Let people pay the market rate for their choices, let society pay for health. America’s problem is too much is for profit, too little for the social good

But not electrical. 20W of power, but not electrical power
