I question whether this is real, is there a link to the source article to try and verify it?

Why didn't they simply make the car cheaper without software locking features?
Seems like a bit of a lousy move on the part of Tesla
Good review by Mortismal Gaming:

This guy specialises in reviewing CRPGs and his reviews are really good. Often he reviews games after 100% completing them
Recently I've discovered the joy of CRPGs, having previously only dabbled in them without spending any significant time on the genre.
With Baldur's Gate 2 just around the corner, which I'm sure many of us are hyped for, I wanted to try a similar CRPG to get a feel for whether I'm going to want to play it. Enter DOS2; this game is made by Larian Studios, the same studio making BG2, and is an absolutely incredible game.
From the graphics, which are stunning even 6 years on from release, to the combat which makes you think about your moves in a manner similar to how you might do in a game like chess, and best of all stories which are for the most part genuinely interesting. I frequently found myself surprised at events / characters / quests I found throughout the world, even small things like hearing someone screaming nearby then discovering they had been torn to pieces by voidwoken.
I recently just finished Act I and just started Act II but wanted to share a bit of love for this game as it is an absolute masterpiece with a well deserved 95% positive rating with 144k reviews on steam.
Please share your experience with DOS2 and whether or not you have fully completed the game!
I'm very excited as I've only recently discovered how fun CRPGs are. In preparation I've started playing through Divinity Original Sins II and am up to Act 2 so far.
The scene from the Livestream with the vampire and druid bear was so out there I can't wait to see what other crazy/interesting things are in the final game.
I've only completed Act I and can't believe Act II will be even bigger, there's already so much to do in Act I. Are there only two acts in total? After DOS2 I plan on playing through Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and then maybe Pillars of Eternity 2
Did you help Slane the dragon?
Also that, according to the WHO, processed meat is carcinogenic and red meat is probably carginogenic so people are giving themselves cancer by eating it.

Why a cure for ageing would benefit everyone and not solely the ultra wealthy
If you put aside ethical and humanitarian reasons for making a cure for ageing widely available, there is still economic considerations, i.e. if you are a government you will be presented with a choice between:
Do I pay to treat people for ageing, even though the treatment might initially be expensive, or do I let them age without intervention?
The former option might actually be significantly cheaper because people in an advanced state of ageing cost more money. They have more diseases, since many diseases are age related such as dementia, cancer and cardiac disease, and need more healthcare and also can't work anymore.
If instead, the government pays for rejuvenation treatment they save on all the other healthcare costs and their people don't have to stop being productive.
So perhaps in the future when a cure for ageing is actually developed it will be made available for everyone rich and poor alike
"Thus, rejuvenation by age reversal can be achieved, not only by genetic, but also chemical means."

"Thus, rejuvenation by age reversal can be achieved, not only by genetic, but also chemical means."
-- Journal article abstract
The full journal article says "in vivo" not "in vitro". They have already successfully regenerated mice which are organisms biologically similar to humans.
Edit
I was wrong about this. The journal article does only talk about results obtained "in vitro" but mentions other studies that have successfully reversed cellular ageing "in vivo".
The ability of the Yamanaka factors to erase cellular identity raised a key question: is it possible to reverse cellular aging in vivo without causing uncontrolled cell growth and tumorigenesis? Initially, it didn’t seem so, as mice died within two days of expressing OSKM. But work by the Belmonte lab, our lab, and others have confirmed that it is possible to safely improve the function of tissues in vivo by pulsing OSKM expression [22, 23] or by continuously expressing only OSK, leaving out the oncogene c-MYC
So in this study the results were only in vitro but other studies have successfully reversed cellular ageing in vivo.
Just wanted to bring some more well deserved attention to this awesome game!
After playing too many city builder games I thought it'd be a long time before I got into another but after seeing the crazy high rating on steam (95% positive with more than 11k reviews) I decided to try it out and boy is it awesome.
I've been hooked playing this game for the last couple weeks now, I'd love to hear Lemmy's thoughts on the game

It'd be good to have high speed rail but not at any cost.
Queue tankies going crazy to defend the absurd cost...
