A very important poster on an aircraft forum was always making experimental ultralight airplanes and reporting on a forum and answering our questions. He was a loved poster. He spent his retirement years doing what he loved. I planned to build my own ultralight, especially since no license is...

Not only are there those benefits, UV light causes your body to release endorphins, the same feel good molecule from exercise.

I rarely see any women mention hair in their profiles. I've seen some do that in newspaper personals, but not online. There are a ton of women who say they want a tall guy, though. A few say they want someone fit. Very few mention hair. I know hair matters. But they just don't mention it in...

I think the credit feature on a debit card should be changed to require a PIN as well. Why would that defeat the purpose of a credit card? The purpose of a credit card is to borrow money you don't have, on demand and with convenience. Are you saying that the 5 seconds it takes to type your PIN...

What good is a PIN if it is written on the card, or is as easy to guess as the zip code? Those are too easy for a thief to use. We should have our own self selected PIN's that are not written anywhere. Anyone who finds your wallet can take your credit card to 5 different gas stations and buy a...

It would cut down on a lot of fraud and muggings. They do in Europe. Why not here? There should be two PINs, a digit apart so the second one is easy to remember. If you enter the second one, it lets the police know you are in trouble or a thief is using the card.

People would laugh at a bird pooping on your head even if you had hair.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solar_Spectrum.png Integrating the area of the UV on that map from 300 to 400, x 0.5 W/m2, x 1/2 since it is a trangle, I get 25 watts per square metter for the strength of the sun's UV rays. Suppose you have a 1.5 meter long blub suspended a foot above your...

I did not know about the value of blue light at 418 nm and red light at 633 nm. I do know the sun has an even spectrum, whereas most bulbs have spikes at blue, yellow, and red. I'll have to see if those spikes are near 418 and 633. What bohers me is that mercola does not show the graphical...

I think the moral of this thread is, be careful what you wish for. And research research research. I remember when I once wanted some flutamine.

OK, here is a summary of the useful info I found: Vitamin D3 pills help absorb calcium, but they do not help your immune system or mental health. You need Vitamin D sulfate from the sun for those two. If you sunbathe with the sun directly overhead, you get too many rays between 290 nm and 300...

Maybe, though it would require me shaving lots of diffuse but corse hair. Also, because I have to shave it, the edges might move, making it harder to line up the piece. A slick guy makes a template and is done. I shave to make a template, and then the hair grows back in. Then I have to shave...

You can easily glue a toupe to your head without hairs growing up under it and giving it away. No shaving required.

Here is what I found: DNA absorbs lots of UVB light below 305 nm, as well as a small bump of UVA around 330 to 360 nm. Although vitamin D is made fastest at 297 nm, the sweet spot frequency is 308 nm since not as much damage is done. You need to get a prescription to get a lamp that does just...

First define troll: Someone who makes people think an unimportant topic is very important, and gets them all flustered about it so they waste their time and emotional energy on it for days, while the troll silently laughs. If the troll is really good, they study books on it and even pay the...
