No, the article specifically mentions that some parts appeared to experience the opposite of accelerated aging. Presumably that means the “parts wore out more slowly”. You might be interested in “hormesis”, a vital aspect of Life’s resilie

He used the word to refer to a hypothetical version of himself, one that failed to either notice or comprehend something simple. That’s the same context in which people use it as an insult against others. The only difference is that it was

Are you serious? So when I drive Uber to pay rent and feed myself, it is actually because I want sex and attention? Might want to remove the "Wizard" from your bio, it'd be far more accurate.

And I appreciate your reply. It fixes the tone in our little thread and refocuses it on the topic. Thank you. Also, you’re probably right, the signal will likely pass right over Burger King’s crown.
