Collagen supplements can actually make a difference with osteoarthritis, decreasing joint pain. Now a paper showed that the proper ratio of amino acids can lead to life prolongation and better quality of health. This old ronin could use some of that.

Man cured of HIV after stem cell transplant. It's amazing that HIV patients are even being transplanted at all. Stem cell transplants are a very immunosuppressive process. This could easily have gone the wrong way. And he did not receive stem cells from a CCR5 mutated donor either. Lucky patient.

After 25 years, the article that Monsanto had been touting saying that glyphosate (Round Up) is safe, is now retracted.
The retraction confirms that the “science” used to defend the world’s most widely used herbicide was built on industry manipulation — including ghostwriting, undisclosed payments, and reliance on a narrow selection of unpublished Monsanto studies.

Washington state wants to punish their wealthy with a new payroll excise tax on high-income earners to shore up falling federal subsidies, in order to continue to fund unions and illegals and their own special interests. Time to move out of Washington state, if you haven't already.

More than 23,000 Canadians died while waiting for health care this past year. "Notably, this number excludes Alberta and parts of Manitoba due to incomplete data. If anything, the real number is likely higher." The socialist model for healthcare never works.

Amazon announced the Tritanium4 chip. It's for AI (of course) but the reporter didn't tease out any details about its architecture. I didn't know Amazon was making their own chips, too. Is this going to be a common thing? Then why isn't ASML doing better?

Unfortunate. Satellites are so numerous that they're getting into astronomical photographs.

Ken Ono is a 57 year old established mathematician, but he's going to quit to join an AI startup run by a 24 year old. Brave move. Hope it works out.

Hundreds of Porsche owners in Russia unable to start cars after system failure in their factory-installed satellite security systems. What kind of cars are being made now? Everything's got to have a satellite link to work? How about just having a car. These satellite links are there so that the company can shut things off when they want. Or track you. They can install all kinds of crap, and you can't do anything about it.

I didn't know the market for treatment for hereditary angioedema was crowded, but I guess it is. Now there's a new treatment called deucrictibant from Pharvaris. There's already three approved treatments for this rare disorder. Well, it's nice to have too many treatments than none at all.

Portland public schools in North Portland gotta consolidate because enrollment is in steep decline. And no one wants to go to those schools. "It won't please everyone" is the understatement of the month.

Portland’s oldest brewing supply store to close after 108 years. It survived for so long, only to succumb under Democrat Socialist leadership. I know, the clientele is changing, too. Craft brewing was the pride and joy of Portland, but nowadays people want cannabis or fentanyl. Gotta get with the times, you know.
