titanium dioxide is nano particles. get them into the body. pollute it. long ago i decided that the empirical evidence was thus: the goal apparently of large corporations is to kill as many people as possible, as slowly as possible, and do so in a way that nobody's hands ever appear dirty. i wouldn't take back what i know now for anything, but it's been a long long hard road. (over 30 years of observation, changing diet, cause, effect, discussion, research, biomedical papers, books, old books, medical journals, fringe sites, etc).

(science viewpoint: it helps the stuff get in further and deeper and more completely and because less is excreted as metabolites, it must be working better, see?!) only problem is they cross organ membranes they're so small, the agglomerate in places they should never be in the first place, and lastly and most importantly the body doesn't know how to get them out.

EDTA chelation, however does get it out.

or to a lesser degree so does eating food that naturally chelates, like cilantro.

either a gas generator to put in the trunk and plug into the power charger part, or a portion of the garage when the thing spontaneously catches fire when either not home or in the middle of the night and burns part of the house down. EV's are not safe. toyota imho had it right with the hybrid stuff. plus, ev fans, where do you gander all that electricity comes from? you're just offsetting carbon, and telling someone with law making egress that you're okay being bought off and ditching something that works and offers more freedom of movement, because they decided to pool together with hundreds of other lawmakers over the last few decades, and convince everyone the world is destroying itself (typically every 10 years they predict a massive crisis and not one has ever come to pass.) look it up. i predict this comment recieves no good karma, but someone please surprise me. i may say things that are unpopular here, but none of them are unfounded.

Comment mosquitos (Score -1) 89

well if they stopped producing them in labs and releasing them, all genetically engineered and supposedlyh resistant to something or another, im certain we would have less of a mosquito problem. # of times science has gotten natural design wrong by misunderstanding it (too numerous to list here.) # of times this has backfired = numerous.
mosquitos are typically only a natural issue if there is standing water, in marshy places, or with poor sanitation, etc.
anyway, i dont expect much from this crowd, but i had to say something.

I would just install Debian with a friendly window manager, something like xfce4, or lxde (if they're a tinkerer type.)
if they're full blow win-tard they might want kde.
i hear good things about gnome-throwback, but i refuse to try it after watching what installing regular gnome does to clog-up and modify an otherwise perfectly fresh install.

people watch streamers on youtube?
i guess they do.
I'd rather be doing aaaanything else. quite literally. watching the speed of someone's brain in realtime is not only terrifying, it exponentially slows when they're trying to leverage a decision making process against ego, vanity, appeasement of their percieved "audience," and all that....
literally, cannot be bothered, and it's painful to watch.

my two cents, humble at that.

consider reading: "the fasting cure"

written by Upton Sinclair. it's on archive.org. and before i get trolled and voted down for just sharing information, that's literally all I'm doing. I'm not a wingnut, if my small comment here bothers someone, please consider being the bigger person and not downvoting me. I'm simply providing a resource for consideration.

Submission + - Intel's GPU Drivers Now Collect Telemetry, Including 'How You Use Your Computer' (extremetech.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Intel has introduced a telemetry collection service by default in the latest beta driver for its Arc GPUs. You can opt out of it, but we all know most people just click "yes" to everything during a software installation. Intel's release notes for the drivers don't mention this change to how its drivers work, which is a curious omission. News of Intel adding telemetry collection to its drivers is a significant change to how its GPU drivers work. Intel has even given this new collation routine a cute name—the Intel Computing Improvement Program. Gee, that sounds pretty wonderful. We want to improve our computing, so let's dive into the details briefly.

According to TechPowerUp, which discovered the change, Intel has created a landing page for the program that explains what is collected and what isn't. At a high level, it states, "This program uses information about your computer's performance to make product improvements that may benefit you in the future." Though that sounds innocuous, Intel provides a long list of the types of data it collects, many unrelated to your computer's performance. Those include the types of websites you visit, which Intel says are dumped into 30 categories and logged without URLs or information that identifies you, including how long and how often you visit certain types of sites. It also collects information on "how you use your computer" but offers no details. It will also identify "Other devices in your computing environment." Numerous performance-related data points are also captured, such as your CPU model, display resolution, how much memory you have, and, oddly, your laptop's average battery life. Though this sounds like an egregious overreach regarding the type of data captured, to be fair to Intel, it allows you to opt out of this program.

Comment incandescents and led's oh my. (Score 0) 267

well, it finally happened, i've been tracking this story since 2008.

i dont like led bulbs, and i've spent hundreds of dollars trying them out and giving them a fair shake.

that said, i've got some incandescents, hopefully they last the rest of my time needing light bulbs, otherwise i guess i'll be making fixtures out of left hand screw
types, which are not banned, OR going back to candles and pretending it's the renaissance era or something.

all human beings have biases. i do think that a great many people in these days are under a strong delusion or multiple strong delusions. for example, this world coin thing. for the last 6,000 years, humanity has been warned about this mark of the beast. this sounds like an inroads to that process. but that's just my bias.
