#Arizona is fighting about defunding public schools again

2022.9.18: web.pol/edu/vouchers/
#Arizona is fighting about defunding public schools again:

. with expanded vouchers, the newer public schools

may have trouble repaying construction bonds.

. other than that, vouchers could be good

for promotion of gun-resistant and mind-liberating 

homeschooling.

David Leonard 2022 Good Lord

 2022.9.12: news.wealth/music/psy/schiz/
David Leonard 2022`Good Lord:

. David Leonard's 2022 song, "Good Lord"

could have been about schizophrenia

(about telepathy with our god).

. he is glad to know the god;

but deeply embarrassed about what he has been;

and wishing he could warn others:

the god is easiest on those who have been

good all the time, 

not just good after meeting the god.

bone and muscle boosters

 2022.8.22: health/diet/osteo/hormonics/
bone and muscle boosters:

. one of the best things you can do for bones

is getting vitamin k2 to keep the calcium 

from being pulled out of bones by vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 doses need to much higher than vitamin K1 doses,

and I found only one supplement that provides a dose

proven effective in studies:

Life Extension Mega Vitamin k2, 45,000 micrograms of the mk4 form of K2.

flat-free tires

 2022.7.2: web.gear/bike/flat-free tires:

. solid tires are slower with

a much higher resistance to rolling

because they don't conform to bumps,

but I have felt such a sense of security

knowing that my commute to work 

will not be slowed by a flat repair,

which can get messy and complicated,

not sure to succeed.


I've gotten a lot of mileage out of amerityre

https://amerityre.com/our-flat-free-products/flat-free-bicycle-tires/

but they have made some design changes

since the tires I've tried.

. a folding bike I'm considering

comes with:

Muffin® Airless tires installed/$149

http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp?product_category_id=1&product_id=1

. another great choice is Tannus.

the unexpected hazards of being a statistic

 2022.6.22: pol/healthcare/
the unexpected hazards of being a statistic:

. there was a problem with exploding air bags that killed people

but they didn't have them disarmed until replacement

because statistically, if they did disarm the air bag

there would be more people dying from accidents

than there would be deaths from air bag explosions

because seat belts alone are far deadlier than

seat belts with air bags.

. but those statistics just show the cost to society;

what about the cost to my family

when they know I may never have died from an accident

but I did die from an air bag explosion?

regenerative farming for mycelium for ergothioneine #health #diet

 2022.6.20: news.health/diet/ergothioneine/regenerative farming for mycelium:

summary:

. regenerative farming means not tilling the soil;

not tilling preserves the fungal biomass of the top soil;

fungal biomass is our primary source of ergothioneine,

an amino acid related to histidine,

which is taken up by the plants we grow in fungal soil,

and then taken up by the animals that eat those plants.

. ergothioneine may be reducing our risk of Alzheimer's,

possibly by protecting mitochondrial function.

. the beef from a regenerative farm also had 

a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6.
