Comment I went to HS with that guy (Score 1) 24
Shawne was a highschool friend of mine. He started that business while still in highschool. I don't talk to him much anymore, but I've ran into him a couple times recently.
I'm not sure why he sold, but I think he's just ready to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and enjoy life a bit...

I don't look at my keyboard when I type, I look at the screen. Too many people don't know how to touch type, and have no idea how much keyboard layout affects those who do know how.

Comment Vitamin D (Score 2) 251
researchers suggest vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug
I got sick back in March. I couldn't get tested because I didn't have enough symptoms. At the time, they were only testing people on death's doorstep. I did some research about what I could do to help my body fight respiratory infections, and came across Vitamin D.
I started taking 2x 2000 IU every morning and night, and improved right away. Ever since then, my family and I take 1x 2000 IU Vitamin D supplement every morning.
I'm telling you, this is real. Vitamin D helps! I tell everybody I know to take Vitamin D if they start feeling sick, and nobody who I told that to has been hospitalized.
I also found some info somewhere that said be careful taking over 4000IU per day. I was taking 8000 for a short time when I was sick, but back down to 4000 for a few weeks while I recovered, and 2000 daily now. I don't recall what the potential side-effect were, but I'm sure you can look that up.

repeat after me. Excel is not a database.
I am baffled by people using excel for things that should be in a database. Makes no sense to me. Spreadsheets make sense for finance usage, but even then, most robust finance application use a database.
"Everybody else is doing it" is a horrible excuse for using the wrong tool for the job.

I was also wondering why Darrell Castle wasn't on this poll. He has just as much of a chance as the Libertarian and the Green Party candidates. (which is admittedly a very small chance)
Comment Reverse the premise (Score 1) 324
Every time I see a study like this, I reverse the premise and see if it makes sense. In this case, I would ask this. Instead of poverty cause low brain development, does low brain development cause poverty. I would argue that much of IQ is inherited, either through nature or nurture. To put it bluntly, stupid parents tend to have stupid kids. Its also clear that a lower IQ very much limits your earning potential - thus puts your family in poverty.
So, I think this study is balogne. All it says is poor people tend to be on the lower end of the IQ scale, and so are their kids.
