Turns out the blue zone studies have likely just identified hotspots for pension fraud:
The observation of individuals attaining remarkable ages, and their concentration into geographic sub-regions or ‘blue zones’, has generated considerable scientific interest. Proposed drivers of remarkable longevity include high vegetable intake, strong social connections, and genetic markers. Here, we reveal new predictors of remarkable longevity and ‘supercentenarian’ status. In the United States, supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. The state-specific introduction of birth certificates is associated with a 69-82% fall in the number of supercentenarian records. In Italy, England, and France, which have more uniform vital registration, remarkable longevity is instead predicted by poverty, low per capita incomes, shorter life expectancy, higher crime rates, worse health, higher deprivation, fewer 90+ year olds, and residence in remote, overseas, and colonial territories. In England and France, higher old-age poverty rates alone predict more than half of the regional variation in attaining a remarkable age. Only 18% of ‘exhaustively’ validated supercentenarians have a birth certificate, falling to zero percent in the USA, and supercentenarian birthdates are concentrated on days divisible by five: a pattern indicative of widespread fraud and error. Finally, the designated ‘blue zones’ of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria corresponded to regions with low incomes, low literacy, high crime rate and short life expectancy relative to their national average. As such, relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records.


If I search for “steam vs epic” I still see the AI-generated summary. It probably depends on when the page was scraped and when Reddit (I assume) started doing this.

It was inevitable with inflation of course, but that’s why you don’t pick names like that. Wikipedia says they go up to $30:
Five Below, Inc. is an American chain of specialty discount gift shops that prices most of its products at $5 or less, plus a smaller assortment of products priced up to $30.
Only one program can listen on a port at a given time usually. Something’s listening on port 443 (the standard HTTPS port), and when nginx starts up it tries to listen on that port and can’t. You can figure out what’s already listening on that port with commands like lsof or netstat, see here for examples:

I’m a little biased, but I like it here 😁 Going to plug !AskUSA@discuss.online, for casual conversation about US-related topics.
