Generally we find FSBO (for sale by owner) homes are overpriced and the owners not that motivated to sell, but every once in awhile you can find a great deal. [2013] - Julie Broad

I'm cautiously optimistic about the emergence of so-called "liquid biopsies" that seek to detect the presence of cancers via a blood test. These are used in two settings: to detect recurrences of cancer in patients following treatment and to screen for cancers in otherwise healthy patients, a fast-moving and exciting field called multicancer early detection. [2023] - Peter Attia

Men tend to look first at the photo while women read the words. Women chose a good sense of humor and similar taste in music, movies, books, etc., with strong family values and great smile sharing third place. Tacky clothes and a bad haircut matter more to women than men. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

My recommendation is not to run for a toothbrush after eating but to dilute and balance mouth acidity as soon as possible, using xylitol or another cariostatic product that can help neutralize acidity and stimulate a flow of saliva to remineralize your teeth (dark chocolate, whole milk, or whole-milk cheese). Here’s an added tip: If your tooth is knocked out in an accident, and you are unable to take it to a dentist for implantation, carry it in a container of saliva, saline solution, cream, or milk to keep it viable for implantation. The quicker this is done, the better! [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The cap rate is the ratio between the net income and original price. You get this by dividing the net income by the property's purchase price and it's expressed as a percentage. I look for 10% and higher (if possible), which is difficult to find in Toronto. In the US, where I own additional properties, it's not as difficult to find; it's much more common and that's why I also like purchasing homes there, for the cash flow. [2021] - Shazia Virani
