Sad to see that University of Westminster has set up Centre for Nutraceuticals to promote the largely fraudulent "wellbeing" industry.

When Donald Trump is not unjustly enriching himself (can you say "corruption?") he and #RFKjr are worsening our health:

"Vaccine Makers Curtail Research and Cut Jobs. Federal policies under #RFKjr that are hostile to vaccines have 'sent a chill through the entire industry'.”:

Federal policies under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that are hostile to vaccines have “sent a chill through the entire industry,” one scientist said.

This is interesting. The #Texas Penal Code makes no mention of conversion therapy on minors, yet § 35A.02(a)(7)(B) forbids providers from claiming fraudulent services. With no accredited provider seriously recommending conversion therapy, the statute thus presumably proscribes it as a medical treatment, rendering any new law redundant, not to mention the risk of said laws extending to counseling—an obvious constitutional no-no.

Partner got a grounding sheet thing. It was recommended by her Brother and Sister in law. (Overly credulous family imho)
Now I'm, well ... Less willing to give credence to the claims of people peddling snake oil that's already been proven false.
Anyways, I go along with it, in the interests of having an open mind.
It's a little uncomfortable as it's a strip of fabric and a foot wide and ten feet long positioned across the bed about at calf position. It's also connected via a wire plugged into the building ground. You know for the grounding.
A week went by. No noticeable improvements in sleep. Partner takes it off the bed and contacts the company for a refund. They offer us 60% refund to just keep it rather than a full refund and send it back.
I'm pretty convinced that they still made profit and that shows what the real cost/value of it was.

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

Some speculators have a short way of accounting for the Pagan religion: mere quackery, priestcraft, and dupery, say they; no sane man ever did believe it, — merely contrived to persuade other men, not worthy of the name of sane, to believe it! It will be often our duty to protest against this sort of hypothesis about men’s doings and history; and I here, on the very threshold, protest against it in reference to Paganism, and to all other isms by which man has ever for a length of time striven to walk in this world. They have all had a truth in them, or men would not have taken them up. Quackery and dupery do abound; in religions, above all in the more advanced decaying stages of religions, they have fearfully abounded: but quackery was never the originating influence in such things; it was not the health and life of such things, but their disease, the sure precursor of their being about to die!

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

I love how when I look up 6G it talks about all these crazy futuristic applications like holograms but the only reason I'm actually looking it up right now is because im on a 5G connection which currently has only 10mbps upload and I need something that isnt totally dogshit for remote desktop 🤪
Why dont they just say remote desktop?
