Nettle concentrates vitamins and minerals from the soil in its body, resulting in easily absorbable nutrition, boasting superior levels of phytonutrients and life-sustaining vitamins and minerals. A cup of Nettle tea can offer 500 mg of calcium—double what’s in a cup of cow’s milk. Fortifying blood, building bones, increasing energy levels, improving circulation, and decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body are a few of the health benefits.

This is so cool

If a company doesn't want to bear the risk of manufacturing and selling an FDA-approved treatment that the government has determined is mostly safe and mostly effective, then the government should simply assume that risk--and the patent.

Imagine a world where capitalist organisations can produce stuff that gets injected in your body and they won’t be liable if something goes wrong... oh wait... we’re there already and it isn’t going particularly well. This article clearly didn’t age well

This is amazing.

Good to see some real insights beyond the usual misleading clickbait

Very very fascinating. Bill, we were there for part of this (well, in my case, I was there for almost all of it 😬)

The obviously political object is to legitimize the 2020 coup attempt in order to soften the ground for the next one — and there will be a next one

Petty much the tl;dr

Two very different types of projects under one umbrella that both solve an issue that I feel passionate about. I'll have my eyes on this.

Are people coughing from COVID-19 or the smoke? Is the sky orange because of the sunrise or because of some nearby wildfire? When did my sense of reality become so skewed?

Absolutely beautiful. AOTD makes complete sense.

What a way with words:

My earlier experiences of falling in love had felt like being stuffed in a barrel and thrown off a waterfall, a blind tumble both euphoric and terrifying. Falling in love with Henry felt like being carried along a smooth river to the sea.

Alexa hitting the nail on the head once more:

If you want to see climate change reversed…skip the ranty Instagram post and just stop using Amazon, plant a garden, build soil health, and start showing the love to your local food coop and farmers market. And when friends notice the change, share why generously

Well said. Congrats, Thor!

My wife and I are preparing to leave the country if things don’t change in the next 12 months. We don’t feel safe to raise our kids in a police state where the military is deployed to enforce Orwellian rules and police use pepper spray against teenagers

Haha yes, definitely not moths 😂

The next chapter is about a decentralized social platform operated by a DAO (decentralised autonomous organisation) which is governed by members through a blockchain based voting mechanism.

I love meat, and I’m eager to switch to the tissue-cultured variety. After tissue-culture meat becomes cheaper than animal-farmed meat, there will be holdouts who insist that they won’t eat “fake” meat, just as there are now people who refuse Covid vaccines and insist on blasting diesel smoke into the air

Wow... there is a lot in this section that I’m super uncomfortable with

This is the perfect example of a doctor who (alongside with many many other health professionals) discredit the entire health industry. Anyone who does some research knows that the vaccinated can still contract as well as transmit the virus (hence the mask mandate even on vaccinated people) and yet he makes statements like these:

This time around, the unanticipated crisis driving the surge of cases was avoidable if enough people had taken the necessary precautions and got their Covid vaccines.

The surge of cases was unavoidable (send my regards to delta) but what is avoidable with the vaccine is hospitalisations. I can’t believe that a doctor with the his credentials doesn’t understand the difference. No wonder so many people stay hesitant.

This could allow an attacker to deduce where the user lives, where they are right now, and whether they are an FBI informant

huh? why would that be one of the logical consequences on Bumble? I'm so confused... as if every other profile is from the FBI.

Most seems like common sense to me which is encouraging but I’m struggling to keep up with enough sleep

I agree with pretty much everything in here. The VVR should help with priorities: if bad content isn't detected immediately but barely anyone sees it then clearly it's not a priority to address it. And the opposite is valid for bad content that gets a lot of views.

This is eye opening

Jeez, now we also have to remove lightbulbs... 😅

Wow that’s an expensive mirror with a built in screen 🤣

Love this:

Until we realize that things might not be, we cannot realize that things are

No sales meeting, movie set, or locker room has ever seen the level of hyper-enthusiastic preparation that the Taliban demonstrated before, during, and after every battle

I had no idea...

Wow. Intensely beautiful and sad

I’m very surprised that these need clarifying. Shouldn’t have teachers taught kids how they should’ve used “would’ve”? 🤓

Wow. I'm basically not okay with any of this:

nearly half of executives said they planned to implement an emerging technology: wearables that monitor appropriate social distance. Wearables could also be used for location tracking and contact tracing. They’re also planning on technologies such as voice automation or automatic doors that can reduce the need to touch surfaces. Plus, almost half planned on using software or hardware to monitor employee productivity—a controversial option due to privacy concerns.

Scary future I must say.

Wow this is super interesting. Technical enough to be detailed but not so technical that I wouldn’t get it 😅

As always, such a good read!

if you want to see Microsoft have a heart attack, talk about the idea of defining legal liability for bad code in a commercial product. If you want to give Facebook nightmares, talk about the idea of making it legally liable for any and all leaks of our personal records that a jury can be persuaded were unnecessarily collected. Imagine how quickly Mark Zuckerberg would start smashing the delete key.

Our ultimate vision here is for people to never have to go on a bad first date again,

where is the fun in that lol

👏

This is it:

A person whose expectations relative to income are calibrated so they don’t even have to think about money has a higher form of wealth than someone with more money who’s constantly thinking about making the numbers work.

Amazing 😍

As always: badly researched and somehow under the impression that taking away crypto would eradicate cyber crime. Ugh.

Point in case being that already the second sentence is plain wrong. Bitcoin is neither private nor untraceable. Quite the opposite actually.

This entire article is why we need ReadUp

it is becoming increasingly evident that clickbait news and headlines designed to provoke outrage are conditioning us to enact a series of predetermined reactions

Tumbler has gone through an interesting few years. Learned something new here.

Ugh... nothing like a refreshing mac and cheese ice cream 🤦‍♂️

It's sad what's happening here but also super interesting to watch. I know a few people who live in HK and they all confirm it feels different compared to a few years ago.

Ridiculously overblown mission statements seem to be a specialty in Silicon Valley

One name: WeWork 🤣

First world problems...🤦‍♂️
