I got myself and my whole family new porcelain mugs from France
The reason for this is that I found out that most cheap no name mugs out there use melamine formaldehyde resin as a binder component which is super toxic and can leak into food/beverages under high temps
Melamine formaldehyde resin is considered safe SOMEHOW but it’s not good for you
Please guys check your mugs and throw away the ones that didn’t pass the test:
1) real ceramic/porcelain mugs will have a stamp on the bottom (see the pic)
2) real ceramic/porcelain mugs will have a nice clear high-pitch ring to them
This also applies to other tableware items as well.
Stay healthy!

Good news for bald mice!
Scientists at National Taiwan University (NTU) have developed a topical treatment that produced full fur re-growth in bald mice in about 20 days, raising hopes of a future cure for baldness.

I took my Dad in for some tests today and unfortunately he has a brain tumor that is growing quickly. We don't know if it is cancerous or not yet but please pray or put positive vibrations out into the ethos or think about our family etc
He's 71, but that is certainly about the age when things start to get a bit iffy health wise.
Sigh...
I'm really struggling with this...

I did an online wellness visit today. Here's what they want me to get done 😁
The doctor was chill and she seems to have some solid advice.

still trying to wrap my head around nudge.com as a product (no pun intended)
tl;dr they are working towards a non-invasive brain modulation device for consumer use. It specifically uses ultrasound phased array to target and modulate neural pathways. End result is users feel better.
if it does work, everyone is probably going to want one.

When I thought I wanted to get sick and be lazy for a day, I completely forgot that for the last 3 years, any illness I get means annoying, lingering coughing fits that last for a month.
Has anyone else noticed that before COVID, seasonal colds used to be much milder and pass much faster?

My new evening ritual: this contraption recommended by @dromar.eth and the Cadence mini app by @thief. Strengthening my lungs for the next fog machine encounter as Halloween is nigh.
