Quotes of the Day

Most people just do the 1 year lease. If you want to charge more, offer 3 months or 6 months leases. Because you're adding the flexibility, it's added value for the tenant and so it's justified if you charge more. [2015] - Gary Wong

Three studies found no weight loss or cardiometabolic benefits on a 16/8 eating pattern (16 hours of fasting, 8 hours to eat). One other study did find that shifting the eating window to early in the day, from 8 am to 2 pm, actually did result in lower 24-hour glucose levels, reduced glucose excursions, and lower insulin levels compared to controls. So perhaps an early-day feeding window could be effective, but in my view 16 hours without food simply isn't long enough to activate autophagy or inhibit chronic mTOR elevation. Another drawback is that you're virtually guaranteed to miss your protein target with this approach. [2023] - Peter Attia

Once the exclusive domain of the super-rich - it used to cost a fortune just in legal fees - offshore investing in our global economy is now available to people with as little as $10,000 or more to invest. If the assets are in an account owned by an international business company (IBC), they are not your personal assets. Your creditors can sue you but they can't get the assets because legally they don't belong to you, they belong to the offshore company. [2007] - David M. Voth

Learn a new language, or take acting or dancing lessons. There are usually more women than men present for all three of these pursuits. Salsa dancing lessons are especially effective. [2012] - Christopher Gray

Most whitening products contain peroxide as the main ingredient. The problem with peroxide is created by something called a hydroxyl-free radical, a by-product of bleaching that causes damage to the gum--damage that may be permanent. In addition, many whitening toothpastes contain abrasive polishing agents to remove some of the surface layer of your tooth, the part most often stained. But remember, this layer offers your tooth the most protection from infection and a barrier to make teeth less sensitive. I consider that a very well-known brand of whitening mouth rinse should be considered a co-carcinogen and that using the product may increase your risk for oral cancer. Stay clear of products that claim to whiten teeth. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
