Miners are motivated by profit, if your cost of electricity is lower, your profit is higher. I’m not sure why you are trying to obfuscate that simple fact.

If bitcoins price continues to rise, miners will be greatly incentivized to further decrease power costs. I hope this leads to innovation in clean power tech, especially in developing nations.

Couldn't you treat the blood within the body? Find a high flow, easily accessibly blood vessel and inject a thin fiber optic cable connected to a uv laser?

If you blast a bright enough light it has the potential to penetrate extremely deeply. It would be a balancing act of maximizing luminosity while minimizing human tissue damage.

I've had mine serviced a couple times, and it's been an absolute pleasure compared to my Audi or Porsche.

I used to work for a company that did desktop search hijacking. Looking back I can't believe how normalized it was internally.

Keto is a low carb high fat diet. With keto you can have as much fibre as you like as long as it's not paired with carbs.

TIL the benefits of eating less refined carbs and intermittent fasting is still up for debate to some folks.

I was told I couldn't use the 110 volt plug in my parking spot in my condo building. I live in a city with hydro electric that is very environmentally conscious. I emailed the property manager that the local newspaper would probably be interested in the story of them blocking the adoption of clean cars, they quickly changed their tune and now I plug my Tesla in and pay the strata council $30 / month. You might be able to try something similar, or find a government elected official in your area who is pro environment to go to bat for you.

I don't think so, there is no way it would achieve mainstream adoption if there was a potential tax liability for users spending their after tax dollars.

From my understanding, most probiotics are transient and pass through the system quickly. The microbiome optimizing community are now focused on prebiotics fibres like inulin and other resistant starches which feed your beneficial bacteria. And then there's always the nuclear option: FMT from a super donor.

I have no idea if people are doing this yet, but I would love to find out more. Doing a nasal rinse with Xylitol can break down thick and lodged mucus to get things moving again. Also lactobacillus sakei seems to fight off sinus infections according to some.
