shaver weasel conspiracy

6.18: pos.gear/shaver/weasel conspiracy:
. I had a good electric years ago,
but during my last move sending it by mail
one of the employees went postal on it .
. I looked for electrics but was surprised at
how they all depended on unreplaceable batteries
-- how long is that supposed to last,
so I started using manual razors (blades).
. I reuse one many times by spraying it with alcohol
to avoid water corroding the edge .

homeschooling for accelerated learning

5.16: news.care/edu/homeschooling for accelerated learning:
The Brainy Bunch: The Harding Family's Method to
College Ready by Age Twelve
by Kip Harding, and Mona Lisa Harding;
-- information about
getting into college through loopholes.
--  "timelines/suggestions about
homeschooling and acceleration"
-- "the Hardings provide a behind-the-scenes
glimpse of the method they iterated over the years
to work for their own family.
It’s enormously useful in that sense.
Young homeschooling families can learn
the pitfalls of trying to replicate "school",
what the challenges of homeschooling are,
that working parents can homeschool too,
[ get older kids to tutor younger ones ]
and how to hack education so that real learning happens."

National Organic Standards Board

5.15: news.pol/organic/National Organic Standards Board:
cornucopia.org`intro to NOSB:
When Congress passed the
Organic Foods Production Act of 1990
it included an important buffer
assuring the organic community that
we would never lose control over
the true meaning of the organic label:
a diverse 15-member stakeholder board
that had true statutory authority and power
— the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB).

moistened toilet paper is mainstream

5.11: news.care/moistened toilet paper is mainstream:
12.27: summary:
. as I went to a high-fiber diet
going to the bathroom was getting messier,
so I started wetting my toilet paper
with rubbing alcohol (better than water
because the toilet paper doesn't fall apart).
. this has been very cheap and effective,
and is sure not to block sewer pipes .
. here's amazon's price for moistened tissues:
$25 Fresh N' Up Adult Moist Toilet Tissue 42*12,
-- rubbing alcohol with regular toilet papers
is vastly cheaper, and can be convenient
if you can find a pocket-sized sprayer,
such as this:
Nature's Plus` Melatonin Spray, 2 fl oz .

astrology as social engineering

5.1: psy/astrology as social engineering:
. astrology seems to present itself as
a study of how planet movements affect our fate;
what it could be instead is something like
the power of group prayer;
so, astrology isn't studied, it's designed .
. there is a hypnotic power from
people believing in it
and inducing that belief in the shared mind
that controls our emotions and whims .

your telepathic supermind sacrificed you

4.30: psy/your telepathic supermind sacrificed you:
geniusawakening:
We already know most of the answers we seek in life:
How do I get healthy? – Eat better and exercise more.
How do I become successful? – Work harder and smarter.
How do I find happiness?
– Be grateful for what you have, pay it forward,
and take a vacation occasionally.
It all seems pretty easy to grasp, but then
why are two-thirds of the United States obese,
success is hard to come by,
and more people seem to be caught up in all the
negativity which surrounds them
instead of enjoying the beauty in life?
--. after seeing that, it was obvious to me:
