The phone market is stuck at 1080p bc the screens are small. When the wearable market is large enough, someone will develop glasses with higher resolution.
Great idea, the “here’s what different outlets are saying” feature. Stories that aren’t narrative-friendly to main stream media. Media blackouts to highlight propaganda and bias. Make it easy for reader to see the "manufactured consent"!

Evidence that social media companies were instructed to quell scientific views which opposed government lockdown measures. According to the legal case, the conspiracy extends to the highest levels of power in Washington, and primarily at fault is the Chief Medical Advisor to the President, Anthony Fauci.
The 6*6*10 calendar is regular as possible. It has 6 months per year, 6 weeks per month, 10 days per week.

One month:

00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59

60

Every month ends with a blank day (60), with the exception of the last month in non-leap years.

From this 2019 study:

Serum concentrations of PFASs and exposure-related behaviors in African American and non-Hispanic white women

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41370-018-0109-y

Flossing with Oral-B Glide was associated with 24.9% (95% CI: 0.2–55.7) higher levels of PFHxS

Exposure to these chemicals and draws attention to coated cardboard prepared food containers and dental floss as modifiable sources. Fast food packaging show that fluorinated chemicals are detected more frequently in paper wrappers than in paperboard containers.

Eating food prepared with nonstick cookware had no significant association with PFAS levels.

exhibit A: The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax#Diplomacy_failure_... In January 1964, President Johnson attempted to convince United Auto Workers' president Walter Reuther not to initiate a strike just before the 1964 election and to support the president's civil-rights platform. Reuther, in turn, wanted Johnson to respond to Volkswagen's increased shipments to the United States.[15] The Chicken Tax directly curtailed importation of German-built Volkswagen Type 2s in configurations that qualified them as light trucks.

I should have said, "The consensus is that healthy diets contain mostly whole foods from plants."

There is now enough evidence that there is a good amount of consensus among nutrition researchers:

There is no RDA for meat consumption.

The Chukudu is more practical and simpler than the penny-farthing. And the roads in the Democratic Republic of Congo are rough.

Leonardo da Vinci could have built a Chukudu in 1490.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatomic_Power

In 2018 the company announced that it would be winding down and open source its intellectual property.[5] The company discovered that in 2016 it had made errors in its early analysis and realised that the design couldn't consume nuclear waste. [6]

Dr. Greger has a different take on the data. From https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-risks-and-benefits-of-s... (transcript and sources cited are below the video)

Concerning the Swedish study: Why would those that run around outside enough to get skin cancer live longer? Maybe it’s because they’re running around outside. More exercise may explain why they live longer. And here in the U.S., more UV exposure was associated with a shorter, not longer, lifespan.

Estimates about vitamin D preventing internal cancers are from intervention studies involving giving people vitamin D supplements (not exposing people to UV rays).

Damage from high-speed neutrons is deal killer. Periodically replacing neutron-damage magnets is too expensive.
Re:Is nuclear fusion poised to deliver? on Saturday December 03, 2016 @02:00PM (#13096950)
The article fails to mention the elephant in the room: damage from high-speed neutrons. From https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-small-fusion-... Deuterium-tritium fusion releases most of its energy as high-speed neutrons, which damage steel parts and gradually turn them radioactive.

In contrast, much simpler Molten-salt-fueled reactors can burn current stock piles of spent fuel rods. Safely generating electricity while reducing nuclear waste. References:

I agree. The big-screen control-center examples he gave are for monitoring a mission in real time. The Hadron Collider scientists analyze the data later on ordinary-size monitors. Its the systematic data collection that is important.
