- A new pre-print on bioRxiv reports that a multi-ingredient nutraceutical achieved anti-aging effects in old mice comparable to a dedicated senolytic drug, suggesting over-the-counter supplement stacks may rival pharmaceutical senolytics (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.11.617853v2).  
- Rumors circulated about “PE21 Salix Alba extract” allegedly extending mouse lifespan by up to 400 %, though no peer-reviewed source was provided.  
- Aetherflux, a space-based solar power startup, aims to deploy a satellite constellation that beams harvested solar energy to Earth via infrared lasers.  
- DIY biofuel experiments were shared: one maker successfully burns a mix of horse manure and waste coffee grounds in a modified wood burner, noting that grass-fed animal dung is optimal for combustion.  
- Historical context was added that rural Mongolian households have long relied on dried cow and yak dung as everyday fuel.  
- A Hugging Face demo called “FacePoke” was highlighted as an entertaining real-time facial-manipulation web tool (https://huggingface.co/spaces/jbilcke-hf/FacePoke).
