And no smoking while you're at it. That DHMO has got hydrogen in it which is dangerously flammable. And monoxide is poisonous. I learnt that at school.

May I ask why you'd want to know about zinc, C, B6, magnesium specifically?

You are right, and this study looks plausible. Ok, I am wrong. Thanks.

The tattoo thing really shocked me but I've seen people with Nike logo tattoos, of their own free will, choosing (unpaid!) for their body to be an advertisment for a company. So I guess so what, if you're sufficiently stupid or ov

You say so but give no actual evidence against it. I can't learn from that.

Seriously? :) Is lambda calculus or the PDP instructions set a closer match to which language?

No. Paradigms are few (OO/logic/functional/procedural/a few more) and learning those is essential and very transferrable. > You can easily lose decades going down the wrong programming rabbit holes total rubbish.
