Quotes of the Day

Throughout life, all the products we consume affect our teeth. Sometimes, acidic apple juice, sports drinks, sodas, coffee, and beer harm our teeth. At other times, our teeth may benefit from mineral-rich drinking water, vegetable juices, dairy products, xylitol, and alkaline soups and broths. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

No matter what one may have read in a book or how long one has paper traded, as soon as a person starts trading for real, everything changes. Mistakes one never even thought of start popping up left and right, and the best way to avoid making them is to make them, lose money, realize they were mistakes, and consciously be aware of them the next time the same situations arise. A trader needs about 3 to 5 years to get through the learning period. One should have a minimum of $25,000 to $50,000, a 3-year horizon, and a very understanding spouse.  [2003] - Marcel Link

If there's one area of the house that the experts agree about when it comes to improving the value of your home, it is the kitchen. If your home is more than seven years old, chances are that your kitchen is at least partially obsolete. Take a look at the likely sales price of your home and try to spend no more than 10 percent on a kitchen makeover. The two areas of the kitchen that receive the most attention are the floor and the countertops (The sink and stove are also important.) Many new models for upscale homes will include traditional tile countertops around the periphery of the kitchen with a granite island in the center. Today, most people prefer the offset sink with a small higher side for the garbage disposer and a deep, wide side for soaking. [2003] - Robert Irwin

Antagonist inhibitors such as Dayvigo (lemborexant) and Quviviq (daridorexant) have been approved for treating insomnia, and they appear to be promising. They are, however, quite expensive. One drug that we do find helpful for assisting with sleep is trazodone, a fairly old anti-depressant (approved in 1981) that never really took off. At the doses used to treat depression, 200-300 milligrams per day, it had the unwanted side effect of causing users to fall asleep. That side effect is what we want in a sleep medication, especially if it also improves sleep architecture. We have also had good results with the supplement ashwagandha. [2023] - Peter Attia
