I think this is mostly just correlation, and the more direct tie is in the economic demographic. River drainage basins generally go like this - the affluent demographic live on the…

It's probably a good idea to use an RO filter regardless. It's a very straightforward way to reduce toxins directly entering your body. Virtually everything is now contaminated wit…

Looking for a very specific set of things or type of resume is a huge oversight. Very few people are going to know what you're looking for, and anyone competent doesn't value their…

Repeated sessions of deep concentration in a particular subject or problem over a prolonged period clearly creates neural growth. I've tackled several extremely complex projects in…

I've run across a number of not just anecdotal accounts of long longevity, good health and lack of disease in a number of different indigenous cultures. I get the uncomfortable fee…

Bought a car with free SiriusXM subscription. I listened to a few stations a number of times - pretty good selection, but really didn't use it much. After the trial period, started…

The "right" startup - one that is bootstrapped, has a successful product idea, a good founder, competent employees, and equity - is almost always a better choice than the big firm.…
