  • Debunking the Myth That Microwave Ovens Are Harmless

    The Weston A. Price Foundation ^ | 11/5/24 | November 5, 2019 By Merinda Teller, MPH, PhD
    Does anyone in the United States not have a microwave oven? As of 2011, the U.S. Census Bureau reported “nearly universal” coverage—97 percent of U.S. households1—up from about one in four households in the mid-1980s and barely one percent in 1971.2 Apparently anticipating the growth trend that was to come, the Bureau of Labor Statistics added microwave ovens to the Consumer Price Index “basket of goods” over forty years ago.3

    A new cold fusion claim was made by the Indian company HYLENR. I had a look -- and I have some comments. I’ve spent a lot of time looking at what the LENR people are doing and in my impression most of them are neither stupid nor scammers. They’re serious but not always particularly great scientists. And yes, I’m a little skeptical about

    NASA has released the clearest view of Mars yet, showing stunning blue rocks littering the Martian landscape. The footage, captured by the Perseverance rover as it continu s to explore the Red Planet, also revealed 'first of its kind' geological formation resting atop the dried remains of an ancient lakebed. Dark blue, jagged boulders of volcanic basalt were spotted surrounding the speckled white rock, which was found to have a mineral composition unlike anything NASA has ever seen before on Mars. ...Most of the bluish-black rocks seen on the surface of Mars, like those on 'Mount Washburn,' are volcanic basalt....

    Nypost ^ | 09/20/2024 | Julie Gerstein
    The cost of living is up, prompting a growing number of Americans to flee big cities and opt for small-town life instead. A tiny, tight-knit community might seem like heaven to those who want a slower pace of life, but that doesn’t mean that smaller towns are sleepy, cultural wastelands. Many towns across the country offer the same top-notch amenities found in larger cities—they just come with a more laid-back, know-your-neighbors vibe at an affordable price tag.

    Kylan Darnell has already spent close to $100,000 to be in an elite sorority at the University of Alabama... At Darnell's sorority fees alone can cost around $30,000 a year.

    Finnish is known for its challenging grammar and vocabulary, which can be daunting for learners. It features a complex system of cases—15 in total—which can change the endings of nouns based on their function in a sentence. Additionally, Finnish is a language isolated from other European languages, so there are few cognates for English speakers to rely on. Nevertheless, Finnish is a language worth learning for its unique position in the world. Finland boasts a high standard of living, stunning natural landscapes, and a rich cultural history. Learning Finnish can enhance your experience if you plan to travel or work...

    Selling Michael Jordan’s ultra-personalized compound has been anything but a slam dunk. The massive home has remained on the market for 12 years and slash its price twice. Jordan made his mark on the Chicago area estate: His name is painted on the basketball court, flags wave with his Air Jordan logo, and his jersey number adorns the gate, according to the Wall Street Journal. Jordan first listed the mansion at 2700 Point Lane in Highland Park, Illinois for $29 million in 2012, chopping it down to $16 million in 2014, and to $14.9 million in 2015, Compass shows.

    The Internet Archive has lost a legal battle which could see the whole web get a lot less freaky. The Second Circuit US Court of Appeals upheld a previous ruling in favor of Hachette Book Group. Hachette sued the Internet Archive over a project which scanned library books and lent infinite copies. Hachette and other publishers argued this was “tantamount to piracy,” as Wired phrases it.

    History Facts ^ | 09/07/2024
    The first inhabitants of what is now the United States appeared around 15,000 to 20,000 years ago — a blip in time compared to the annals of some of the earliest places humans lived. Initially, population growth was slow due to the continent’s geographic isolation; significant increases began only after Europeans made their way to the Americas throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. By the 20th century, the U.S. population was experiencing rapid expansion — a trend that has slowed in recent years. Here’s a look at America’s changing population through history, from early prehistoric arrivals to the decline we’re...

    It’s summer, which means beach getaways, frozen cocktails, and bad sunburns in the most annoying of places. It’s also the perfect time to hold a backyard barbecue and eat enough hamburgers and hot dogs to make Joey Chestnut proud. Burgers and Hotdogs are two of the tastiest summertime staples, though they’re not exactly considered to be the most diet-friendly foods. But rather than compare hamburgers and hot dogs to salad, let’s compare them to each other. You may not realize there are certain dietary benefits that one offers over the other, so let’s take a closer look at which is...

    Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett advises buying gold amid record-high prices. Hartnett said potential Fed rate cuts could stoke fresh inflation, which would be bullish for gold. Gold's year-to-date rally of about 20% is outperforming US tech stocks. Investors should buy gold even as the metal hovers around record-high prices, according to Bank of America investment strategist Michael Hartnett. In a note on Thursday, Hartnett said investors should "do what central banks are doing… buy gold." That's because interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in the coming months pose a risk to stoking a rebound in inflation next...

    If you spend any time looking at diet and lifestyle content on social media, you may well have encountered a variety of weight loss "hacks".
