I've read that Magnesium L-Threonate is better taken in the morning to help your brain function better during the day. So, I take this in the morning and Mg glycinate at night.


Your statements about "percentage of income taxes" are misleading. Two points:

1. Your 3% and 39% actually reflect how much more absolute income the rich generate compared to others. For example, if a rich person has $10 million in income and someone from the bottom 50% person has $100k in income, even a 15% income tax (for example) is $1.5 million and $15k respectively. Given our massive wealth inequality, your 39% income tax number tells us that the top 1% are capturing a massive chunk of the total income generated in the US. A quick quote from a 2021 Forbes article: "billionaires collectively hold two-thirds more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of all households in the United States, according to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies." - more wealth generates more absolute income.

2. By focusing solely on income tax, you're ignoring Total Taxes, which for example include sales tax. Low-income Americans face higher payroll tax rates than rich Americans. There are also many more tax-reducing benefits for the poor in our tax code, for example, Long-term capital gains and qualified dividends overwhelmingly accrue to the rich.


Cola is highly acidic, which causes gut problems, especially when drinking it on an empty stomach. It caused GERD for me and I had to take omeprazole to fix the damage. And, of course, I mostly stopped drinking cola, especially on an empty stomach.

I prefer Q-Dir, a freeware from SoftwareOK, which as tons of great freeware utilities for Windows. https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Freeware/Q-Dir


I used Q-Dir for a while, but each window had an idle CPU usage of ~3-4%, which wasn't too good on a small laptop.

Actually, studies have shown that placebos work sometimes even when people know. This is a great podcast about this topic and the page also has links to some studies: https://www.npr.org/2019/04/29/718227789/all-the-worlds-a-st...


From one of the studies [1]: >Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers.

I wonder what the results would have been with a less suggestive presentation.

> “Sure it does. The bucket method works whether or not you believe in it.”

> “I said that too,” chimes in Autrey. “Apparently I was wrong.”

Which is behind a CAPTCHA.

Is there a non-paywall & non-CAPTCHA solution?


It’s not behind a captcha. The owner of that website doesn’t like Cloudflare, so if they detect you’re using Cloudflare DNS or WARP, you’ll get a fake captcha that looks like Cloudflare’s. Completing it won’t give you access to the site. It’s possible they use the same technique in other scenarios as well.


For this use case, you might be better off using Windows VPS providers. For about $6/mo, you'll get a VM pre-installed with Windows 2019 server. Just google "Windows VPS" and you'll find tons of providers.


You’re not going to find that price at any reputable provider for 2019. There is BuyVM.net (very reputable), but they offer only up to 2012 I believe unfortunately.


Some more detail on the hospitalized people below:

"One vaccinated, hospitalized COVID-19 patient had received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and three had received the Janssen vaccine."

"Four additional, fully vaccinated patients aged 20–70 years were also hospitalized, two of whom had underlying medical conditions."
