Plenty of other imaginary currency exist that do the exact same thing bitcoin does, but better and no electricity waste aka timekoin is a good example.
I don't know. Timekoin looks pretty dodgy. Their "marketplace" has an expired SSL cert.
There are studies showing declining sleep quality with blue light after sunset. I want my lights to cycle into the ambers and reds after dark, but to be bright and white in the middle of the day (the same way my computer does with f.lux). For now, I get around by wearing dorky orange safety glasses after 9pm, but would prefer my home not expose me to the blue parts of the spectrum.

With the oil/gas prices going back down from their highs last year, using corn to produce ethanol isn't cost-effective, so the artificial (non-food use) shortage is relieved.
I think he meant "sodder" (or "sah-der"). The point is that the L is silent in American pronunciation, unlike (apparently) those in countries that speak English.
Even if someone consumes zero carbohydrates in the diet, glucose can be manufactured in the body from ketone bodies via gluconeogenesis. So, yes, there is always some amount of glucose in the bloodstream.
Now I'm wondering if my mod points are an April Fool's joke, too...
