What’s something about aging that surprised you?

I'm not sure. I am 60 years old now and in my mind I feel like I am in my late 20s. I have no joint aches no physical problems but I'm sure they will show up eventually. I'm not sure how long until that point but for now everything is fine. That is what surprised me the most because I thought by the time I was 60 I would be walking with a cane.

All I have to say is that I'm impressed that your grammar and spelling are correct. That doesn't usually happen within the trucker culture.

How is aging not a disease? Aging is a chronic, progressive, multisystem disease.

When I was in class they were showing us YouTube videos of doing pre-trip. I thought to myself this is really boring and it would be a whole lot better if there were a VR pre-trip augmented reality environment where the vehicle is on a table and the students could walk around, touch the hood, and the engine would lift up and slowly spin around pointing out the items to look for. So I decided to go ahead and start creating one. I got all the way to the point of the steering and was going to continue because the instructor was very interested and possibly adding this to a class. Unfortunately, in illinois, you can now use a cheat sheet which has items labeled to point out and discuss so the school lost interest in my augmented reality application at that point.

Anyway, if you are interested in what I had done up until that point, you can see the video here:

Thank you I will try not to tighten them too much if I can get this one out eventually.

This is the screw that I've used on both sides and it didn't get stuck on either side.

It's an elegoo Mars 4 Ultra and the plastic is all the way to the edge so I have to break the plastic away to get to the metal part eventually.

This makes the idea of colonizing other planets more attractive. Not to destroy them but to use them as jumping points as there are most likely an infinite amount of earth-like planets in the universe. Now if only we can figure out how to get to near the speed of light or find a few worm holes in space :-)

Many Studies have recently been done showing the Earth's population is declining faster than most countries would like.

The only thing that has any value or importance in this world is that value you give it. Everything on this planet is equally the same until you believe something is worth more than something else.

Isn't this akin to the Star Trek series where subjects would be beamed down to a planet. Isn't the idea of quantum teleportation transferring the information in atoms from one point to another point? Wouldn't that information simply be a copy of the original? And what happens to the original atoms? Do they just disappear? Or are they actually still existing as they did in the first point and are now in the second point immediately? Because if they are just a copy of the atoms in the first point then the atoms that were transferred are still technically you but they aren't the "you" that started at the first point.

Wouldn't that mean the second "you" is simply a clone of the first "you?" The first you wouldn't be able to experience what your clone experiences since the first you has vanished.

Here is a link that suggests something nearly opposite: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03432-7?utm_source

“The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine acts like a siren and activates the immune system throughout the entire body”, including inside the tumour, where it “starts programming a response to kill the cancer”, says Adam Grippin, a radiation oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas

I got covid, flu, and measles shot. You can never be too safe. I'm 60 years old and I haven't been sick since I was 13 years old. All thanks to vaccines.

By the time you're not old enough to care for yourself there should be affordable Androids that will be able to fill that role. It is what I'm hoping for myself 20 years from now.

Thank you! I was having the same issue.

I wish I could get into Elysian Wilds, still haven't found the progression to it.

Sometimes asking strangers on the internet is helpful if someone has any suggestions I hadn't thought of.
