“ According to research into the molecular changes associated with aging, humans experience two drastic lurches forward, one at the average age of 44 and the other at the average age of 60.

"We're not just changing gradually over time; there are some really dramatic changes," geneticist Michael Snyder of Stanford University said in August when the study was published.

"It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s.”

@evamarie @PurpleDragon @LnzyHou @Madken65 Maybe it is time to get off the Chinese-made Iphones and onto a Korean-made Samsung? 😀

"It may surprise you that no Samsung phone is made in China. The company closed its last factory in the People's Republic in 2019 due to a shrinking market share."

Tariffs threaten bargain land
The retailer warned that tariffs promised by the President-elect Donald Trump (up to 100% on all Chinese goods and up to 20% for all other countries) might make its products less affordable, as the company would have to pass on some extra costs to customers.

TARIFFS WILL BE USED BY CAPITALIST TO GOUGE CUSTOMERS...It's their business model.

It is hard not to hate Trump voters.

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of #Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.

This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.

He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

With my luck it'll be cloudy that night.

I don’t care where I go on thanksgiving as long as I can sit in the corner like a gremlin and eat my can shaped cranberry jell out of a can like nature intended.

We tried to tell everyone Trump was lying. Project2025 is dictatorship with no democracy, rights or freedoms. He is working with Putin. Look at the cabinet he proposes.

I'm reviving a term I used to use on the Buzzard site 8 years ago, but am reviving here, referring to you know what but in southern charm.
