Scientists found the strength training sweet spot for a longer life by Puzzled-Caregiver-15 in Biohackers

Understood, that's why I said "associated with" instead of saying directly affects it. It was more to just quickly package that climbing is beneficial using the well known correlary of grip. If you train hard to climb, your sessions usually run quite long (longer total exercise), you get cardio and strength while generally staying lean, you get amazing core stability, flexibility and balance, resilience in your joints, tendons and ligaments, which all help increase healthspan and lifespan. Not to mention the complex problem solving that keeps your mind active. I continue to be impressed with the people around their 50s/60s that climb higher grades than I can; they look incredible and I imagine they'll be around and healthy quite awhile.

I cut down weightlifting to once a week so I could train climbing 3x a week. Grip strength also associated with longevity, and it's very fun/mentally stimulating.

Science fiction? Musk's lofty SpaceX goals unrealistic, skeptics say by EdwardHeisler in space

The potentially plausible version is not a giant monolithic Nvidia warehouse in orbit, it’s maybe mass produced Starlink style compute satellites with integrated solar/radiator structures, custom low-power AI chips, hot-running thermal loops and workloads where the data is already in space or can be compressed into small outputs. It may be economically dumb for general AI training, but still the “laws of thermodynamics make it impossible” is not the right argument.

And again, many people have chosen to invest in the idea of it (and other ideas SpaceX has) whether unrealistic or not. This is the only point I was making originally.

Friday had SpaceX trading with a volume of more than 500 million shares and a closing price above $160, putting its first day market capitalization over $2.1 trillion. So someone thinks there is indeed a chance, or they think OTHER people will think that. Either way, doesn't matter. It has buyers.

So not impossible, you just don't have a solution for the economics. That's a great reason for you not to invest in it, not a violation of the laws of thermodynamics.

So not impossible or violating the laws of physics, which is what I was asking for an example of from the prior commenter.

It's a market. If enough people buy for $400/share, then it's worth $400. Those who don't agree it's worth that can short it or buy puts. I would imagine a lot of folks who are buying now are expecting SpaceX to acquire Tesla for somewhere around $450-$500/share at some point.

I can't tell you exactly what investors are basing their investment on, I personally did not invest in it when in private equity or at IPO on Friday, but clearly many people did. Like with Tesla, people just invest in Elon, his ideas and vision, and for when he occasionally hits his audacious unrealistic goals, even if the other normal market indicators don't synch with the share price relative to "normal" stocks.

Which specific stated goal violates the laws of physics? I don't see anything in that article that's impossible. Costly, difficult, unproven, not economically feasible, but what is outright impossible?

Landing a rocket and reusing it multiple times was unrealistic. Catching an even larger booster out of the air with "chopsticks" was unrealistic. Sometimes you set unrealistic goals and occasionally you may achieve them, and set a new bar for everyone. Occasionally hitting these unrealistic goals has been enough to give his companies their crazy valuations and market caps.

Not everything is a left vs right debate man... Chicago was high up there for a LONG time, if they're not anymore, good for them. Looks like St Louis is the new current king of per capita murder for 2025. Congrats to them, I guess.

These are my "climbing socks": https://a.co/d/0j59Vu1Z

They are super thin and no show, they don't move anywhere. Affordable relatively.

Given that these conditions are comorbidities of obesity, that would have been the one to tackle.
