Good points! My camera (the one I'm talking about in my original post) is "just" a digital camera but I find I'm more deliberate when using that instead of my phone.

I'll probably not go back to film photography, I find digital photos just as good, but i remember fondly taking my sweet time trying to frame a shot and waiting for the right light. I've stopped doing that, turned photography into something passive, just shooting away. This video made me want to actively take photos again.

    The news article, as well as the published work, state that:

    Cartilage regeneration appears to occur through gene expression changes in pre-existing chondrocytes, rather than stem or progenitor cell proliferation.

    Long-term side effects will need to researched of course and there might still be stem cells involved in the process, however that doesn't seem to be the case according to what we know as of now.

    Most definitely. I'm almost in that demographic myself and several of the slightly older, nerdy lifters at my gym talk about BPC-157 as something they would consider using.

    If this gets proven to work in vivo in humans I'm certain we'll see the same no matter side effects.

    In mice (of course) and human tissue exvivo. Earlier phase 1 studies with 15-PGDH has shown that it is safe and active in healthy volunteers.

    I haven't tried it but it feels like the bulk of the actual CDs (or even worse, the casettes) would be the worst of it. I have a vinyl player but the collection is shamefully small.

    Maybe it's just nostalgia as you say. But there's nothing wrong to give into that feeling every once in a while is there?
