This story has the wonderful title, Fidji Simo says Mark Zuckerberg gave her one piece of health advice years ago, and she wishes she had listened.

In short, she was so excited to have hit her dream job at the age of 40, that work-life balance never entered the picture. Now she's a multi-milionaire who will, probably, spend the rest of her life struggling to have something approaching a normal life.

BBC Science has an article where experts ranked 400 jobs by their dementia risk. Those least likely to die from Alzheimer's were taxi drivers and ambulance drivers. The reason behind this seems to be that constant spatial and navigation processing tasks might offer some protection from Alzheimer's.

The authors do have one caveat: While researchers found that taxi and ambulance drivers were less likely to die of Alzheimer's, they were also more likely to die young.

That's an issue because Alzheimer's is a disease that becomes more likely the older you get. If people in those professions aren't living long enough to get Alzheimer's, that could explain some of the results.

"The paper isn't an advert for becoming a taxi driver - unfortunately they're dying earlier" Spiers says. "Importantly, however, the researchers reran their analysis correcting for age and still found a significant effect."

It seems using your brain other than for existence might help stave off mental decline.

Ever notice how the people on the left calling for Sharia law, would be the first to be thrown off of buildings if it were ever implemented?

Hey dumbass, it's those Red states trying their best to implement Sharia law through forcing the Bible into the classroom (but no other religious texts), displaying the ten commandments in schools (which they ignore), telling women what they can wear, telling women they must have babies, and a whole host of other things they're trying to force down people's throats.

As always, every accusation is a confession with you people.

You now only own a license that can be revoked at any time.

That was true back in 2006. Every disc bought since then would not actually let you play the game, you had to connect to the internet and download gigabytes more.

I was in the middle of nowhere, had a PS3 and an unopened copy of Need for Speed. I popped the disc in and was excited to play the new game. Yeah, that didn't happen. It insisted that I connect to the internet and download gigabytes of data. I couldn't download because I was in the middle of nowhere. I did not ever purchase another console after that experience.

Long story short, the current status is not really a change. At least they are not misleading you anymore.

Peaceful protesting gets zero attention. Recall this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Did even the slightest change happen after that?

The people who have all of the money do not care about anything other than their own money. You could have every single person in the USA outside protesting and absolutely nothing would change until infrastructure started getting destroyed or the wealthy families actually felt threatened.

And you dare to insult "smart" people with guns from joining protests? WTF is wrong with you?
