  • I made my own app, and tracked calories, carbs, fiber, and potassium. I used data from USDA. What I found was that it was almost impossible to get the recommended amount of potassium unless you ate nothing but green leafy vegetables, or massively over-eat.

  • I think multi-vitamins are more important as you get older. Your body simply doesn't absorb as much of the vitamins in food as it does when you're younger. So all that advice "Just eat a healthy diet" isn't quite as true.

  • How about "U" -- "Unstudied" If there's no money to study a supplement, it doesn't get studied. Or maybe "unmonied", because the particular studies the governments want cost $$$.

    Most doctors today will tell you NOT to take iron, especially if you are a man. Apparently iron has been associated with various health concerns.

  • There’s a website, I can’t remember the link, but any text you search can be found to have already been written on one of its pages.

    It's The Library of Babel

    You can type up to 3200 characters in lower case. With a short sentence though, the "title" and page number may be longer than your original text!

    Edit: Fixed url title

  • Biden can't win the election without Harris.

    Keep in mind that U.S. elections are not popular elections. You have to look at key swing states. Technically, none of the other 43~ states matter much because their outcomes are already statistically pre-determined. It doesn't matter how much people like Biden in California or New York, if he loses key states. For instance, Hillary Clinton had twice as many popular votes in California as Trump in 2016. But those extra 4 million extra votes didn't matter to the outcome because California is just one State.

    For example, Michigan is a key electoral state. It is predominantly a red state. But Barak Obama won it two elections in a row because minorities from the densely populated areas, especially Wayne county, turned out for him. Those same minorities did not turn out when Hillary Clinton ran in 2016. They came back ... just barely ... when Biden ran with Harris as VP. This same story is repeated in Georgia and Wisconsin -- both swing states that usually lean heavily Red.

    So, to sum up. It doesn't matter how much people in red states hate on Harris. Their election results have already been factored. What matters is how she is perceived in key swing states. While some red state voters won't vote for Biden because they fear he might keel over, other swing state voters will ... for exactly the same reason!

  • Just thinking out loud. If your paper record is actually QR codes, then you could scan them into your device as you need them. So you wouldn't have to type some long, complicated sequence by hand.

  • The thing is, we don't know how viable this is in the long term.

    For all we know, every 200 years the Earth is hit by a major EMP sunspot event that will fry our cellpones, cell towers, and satellites.

    This isn't just speculative. In 1859 a major solar storm took down most of the electronic communication of that time. Back then, that meant telegraph communication. The first major telegraph message had been sent only 15 years before, so world-wide communications didn't suffer too much.

    If we had a major storm now, the winners would be those countries and institutions that still retained paper-based communications and information management systems. The losers would be everyone dependent on electronics communications.
