- A new blog post titled “Hadrian: Ex Machina Ad Lunam” (https://www.notboring.co/p/hadrian-ex-machina-ad-lunam) was shared as potentially relevant to space-manufacturing or automation interests in the channel.

- Discussion of a rumored but unverified cryonics facility called “Mothership” located in Houston; no public evidence of its existence could be found.

- Extensive personal experimentation notes on stimulant use: one participant documented tapering off 880 mg/day nicotine gum (220 pieces of 4 mg) with the aid of bupropion, compared subjective effects of nicotine vs caffeine (shorter half-life, less jitter, habit-formation), and planned to address caffeine dependency next.

- Pharmacological insights exchanged: amphetamines, nicotine, and caffeine were all noted as appetite suppressants; extended-release formulations were cited as a strategy to reduce addictive potential by smoothing plasma-level drops.

- A fresh Vince Giuliano anti-aging research post was linked: “Deeper into the Epigenetics of Younging – 1.1: Interactions of H3K9, H3K4, H3K27, H3K79 and Bivalent Histone Post-Translational-Modification Domains” (https://www.anti-agingfirewalls.com/2022/05/02/deeper-into-the-epigenetics-of-younging-1-1-interactions-of-h3k9-h3k4-h3k27-h3k79-and-bivalent-histone-post-translational-modification-pmt-domains/).

- Historical archive links provided: a nearly complete mirror of the early Extropians mailing-list archives (https://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/extropians/raided-mailing-list-archives/) and a compressed tarball (tarchives) were shared for preservation and research purposes.

- Concerns raised about AI-enhanced smartphone photography: the proliferation of subtle, painterly artifacts in both real and synthetic images was predicted to erode public ability to distinguish authentic photos from fakes.

- A 1921 newspaper clipping circulated on Twitter about fears of garage-built, radio-controlled bombs was used to debate why such attacks never became common despite early warnings; the conversation touched on technical barriers, social trust, and modern analogues like guided missiles and jamming.

- A Stack Overflow analysis (https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/06/15/developers-use-spaces-make-money-use-tabs/) showing a surprisingly large salary gap between developers who use spaces vs tabs was revisited, prompting speculation about fashion, tooling, and confounding factors.
