I did a few of 10-day silent retreats a few years ago. I really enjoyed them and I've been wanting to do another. I think they helped give me a different perspective on the world and see some of my issues in a different light. But I ha

Yeah, I think it’s really per-oil that you have to worry...not sure a broad classification is going to help much. Better to just memorize the whitelist of oils that you want to limit yourself to. Safflower, Sunflower, Corn, Soybean, Cottons

Isn’t the issue with vegetable oils the omega-6 fatty acids? IIRC, our diets are supposed to be somewhere between 1:1 and 2:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio since omega-6 is inflammatory and omega-3 is anti-inflammatory. If you over-consume eithe

Unless I’m reading it wrong, it looks like the paragraph above the one that lists 800ml is the more interesting. The 2004 reading was 2.4L above expected, or 192% of expected. Also, the freediving exercises are not just about stretching the

Climate and weather are different. When people are forecasting 12 years into the future, they’re not predicting the weather, they’re predicting the climate. Just pointing out this distinction because the “can’t predict next week’s weather”

IIRC from these conversations in the past, Texas solves this problem by allowing delinquent property taxes to accrue as a lien against the property rather than seizing/evicting the owner. Seniors and those on low incomes can continue t

IIRC, PBS already has their own “Passport” streaming option. This is just a play to expand their potential audience. But if you don’t want to deal with Amazon, you’re free to deal with PBS directly.

There are policies that allow for taxation while still not evicting people from their homes. For example, some states let property taxes accrue as a lien against the property that needs to be paid when the property changes ownership. This k
