So Long, and Thanks for All the... Lobster.

It always seems it's a fall that ends it, I wonder if she could have made 100 years on the water if she hadn't fell. What an inspiring life!

It's the senescence that makes the fall, more or less, inevitable. Warren Buffet wrote about it in his final letter to shareholders [1] : "When balance, sight, hearing and memory are all on a persistently downward slope, you know Father Time is in the neighborhood."

It’s not the fall. It’s the enforced idleness afterwards.

I sometimes wonder if VR is ever successful, perhaps in the 2050s, some of the idleness will be less of an issue.

The lack of movement rather than rich stimulation might remain the issuem I look forward to a study if there hasn't been one yet.

Who else reading the headline thought it’s about 100 year old lobster that died?
