Titan crew said 'all good here' before submersible imploded
  • After decades of journalists attaching the suffix "gate" to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as "Oceangate-gate"

  • USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers
  • We should mandate that all large trucks, including pickups, have hoods like these. Such hoods would save lives, and requiring them on large vehicles would undoubtedly lead to newer, smaller sized pickup designs that wouldn't be required to use them. Win-win

  • Egyptian start-up turns plastic waste into tiles
  • If we could just work out how to efficiently mill waste plastic into 15 μm or so sizes, we'd then be able to mix the plastics directly into our wheat flours and whey protein powders. Why try to beat plastic when we could just become plastic?

  • Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia
  • Thanks to your comments, I went looking at more about Jupiter's influence on us and read that most of the other planets are more in line with Jupiter's orbital plane than the Sun's equatorial plane (which sounds impressive, but maybe only makes complete sense since the planets would have all initially formed from the same disk). Anyway, thanks

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

    Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan - Nature
    www.nature.com Inhibition of IL-11 signalling extends mammalian healthspan and lifespan - Nature

    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
