Stock Index Castoffs Have Delivered Enduring And Outsized Returns, Quant Researchers Find
Via Zerohedge.
When stocks are ejected from market-cap-weighted indexes, swooping in to load up on them -- and hold on to them -- can pay off nicely, according to a new paper from Newport Beach, California-based Research Affiliates LLC.

It's better to solve the right problem approximately than to solve the wrong problem exactly.
A life blood analysis
I was hoping to see nanotechnology in my blood (after the covid jab). But so far, I only see blood and white blood cells. I'll work on improving the video quality and resolution, to see the details better. For now though, I'm happy I've made it this far, to recording live blood.
Kayak Paddle Length - How to Pick, relative to your height
This quick writeup provides some info as to what y'all's paddle's length should be.
After going kayaking on the river every week for a while, I've noticed that I've been wanting a longer paddle. I want my strokes to be longer and I want to be able to put more force into each, without having to switch sides all the time. I'm 6' and decided to move from a 86" to a 95" paddle - I'll keep y'all posted how it goes!
Meanwhile, here is the reference table I've used to make the decision.
Healhty Dietary Changes and their Effect of Glucose Levels
It took several months (less than a year) but I'm noticeably bringing down my blood sugar level. It seems diet plays a more important role here than does exercise, although I can't imagine improving one and not the other.

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.
Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.
Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.
Key Features of the Power System
The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.
Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.
The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.
Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.
Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
