I’ll wait for the pill thats lets me regress back to an embryonic stage. Like an immortal jellyfish.

Now that my mind is wandering, I’m imagining the social implications of a lifespan where you are born, grow to old age, then slowly revert back to youth before dying, all the while maintaining your accumulated knowledge and experience. Might make for an interesting short story.

When Jenny Nguyen signed the lease to create her dream bar, she wasn’t sure it would stay open for more than a few months.

But earlier this month, 43-year-old Nguyen’s first-of-its-kind establishment in Portland, Oregon, celebrated its one-year anniversary. Aptly named The Sports Bra, it’s a sports bar where only women athletes appear on the TVs.

I am having trust issues re touch-screen control panels on the latest generation of low-earth-orbit rockets, the International Space Station, and other space hardware requiring human touch interface. I get it mechanical stuff wears out, but there’s no way to cross-wire a control inside a touchscreen for a workaround.
