Just found "Opeth Music Cartridge for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive" on bandcamp. Instant purchase. Too bad the actual cartridges are sold out. The arrangements are really good and use the FM sounds of the Genesis' sound chip to great effect.
Once again, evidence that #Ecosystems are complex, and perhaps we need to be acknowledge that - and be a bit more humble about implementing "solutions"

Skipโs Mo/Go Robotic Pants Help Power You Up Mountains
"Is it possible to make a hike uphill easier on your body? Skip thinks so, and they have a solution. In a collaboration with clothing company Arcโteryx, Skip, a startup born out of Googleโs innovation lab, has a pair of specialized pants that act like a powered exoskeleton. Theyโre called Mo/Go.
"With a motor at the knee, the Mo/Go (short for mountain goat) has an adjustable carbon-fiber cuffs keep them in place, and they augment the userโs quadricep and hamstring muscles to propel them forward and upward.
"The idea is not to have a robot walk for you, but to help power your joints and muscles, letting you go farther, for longer."

You may be right. After all, walkers are pretty inexpensive; they have reached economies of scale.
Still, they're made of relatively inexpensive aluminum, not carbon fiber.
Anyway, for me building my DIY idea, I've modified it from a couple flexible springs to something with four rigid sticks. Basically, the bottom sticks are walking sticks, while the top sticks go from the bottom sticks to points near the top of backpack straps or suspenders. As before, "pulling" pushes down with a good mechanical advantage.
Originally, I was thinking of attaching the bottom of the sticks to the toes of your shoes, but trying out the cadence ... it feels weird to move your left arm slightly before your left leg. By making the bottom sticks independent walking sticks, you can use your natural cadence. Also, it's more flexible because you don't need to wear anything specific on your feet.
The nature of the last universal common ancestor and its impact on the early Earth system - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Integration of phylogenetics, comparative genomics and palaeobiological approaches suggests that the last universal common ancestor lived about 4.2 billion years ago and was a complex prokaryote-grade anaerobic acetogen that was part of an ecosystem.Nature
i still don't understand the assumption of a single ancestor. my sense of prokaryotes is that we descend from several populations with different specialties all eveolving in an anastomising net of symbisis.
eventually things shake out to bacteria and archaea
@foaylward if by community we might mean half a dozen different kinds of creatures.
i'll have to review the methods again to see what they say about my idea.
Sooooo QUTE!!

Genomic analyses of Symbiomonas scintillans show no evidence for endosymbiotic bacteria but does reveal the presence of giant viruses
Author summary Endosymbiotic bacteria are found in a wide variety of hosts across the tree of eukaryotes and have been proposed to be evolutionarily and ecologically significant, but in most cases, we know little to nothing about them.journals.plos.org
Unfortunately, the drug that prevents HIV infection, lenacapavir, is currently unaffordable at $42,250 for the first year. If it were sold by Gilead for $40 per year, it would still yield them a 30% profit. But I guess thatโs not how capitalism works.
