Quotes of the Day

During crypto hype, mining equipment such as ASICs becomes incredibly expensive. At the beginning of 2018, for example, they were priced at over $9,000 due to high demand. That’s why you must consider your return on investment before getting yourself involved in mining; sometimes simply buying cryptocurrencies makes more sense than mining them does. The cost of the electricity used by mining computers far exceeds the cost of heating or cooling the house. [2019] - Kiana Danial

The Double-Hander is like a miniature hug and is acceptable only in circumstances where a hug could also be acceptable. The Elbow Grasp conveys more intimacy and control than the Wrist Hold, and the Shoulder Hold conveys more than the Upper-Arm Grip. Unless you and the other person have a personal or emotional bond, only use a single-handed handshake. [2004] - Allan Pease

To have a method or a trading plan truly hardwired into your head takes many, many impressions or, ideally, many months or even years of demo or live trading. Gaining that experience takes discipline. [2010] - Jay Norris

Stomach acid-blocking "proton pump inhibitor" (PPI) drugs with brand names like Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Protonix, and AcipHex are among the most popular medications in the world, but they come with a cost. Studies show higher hip fracture rates among both long- and short-term users at all dose levels. This class of drugs has been linked to increased risk of other possible adverse effects, such as pneumonia, intestinal infections, kidney failure, stomach cancer, cardiovascular disease, and premature death. [2023] - Michael Greger

Sweeteners like stevia and xylitol are derived from natural sources and are healthy and safe sugar substitutes, despite the fact that they have such off-putting and chemical-sounding names. Artificial sweeteners, on the other hand, often have alluring names like Splenda, Sweet'N Low, and Equal. There are great differences for teeth between the effects of consuming the natural and dentally beneficial sugar substitute xylitol and xylitol's ugly stepsister, the artificial sugarless sweetener called sorbitol. Sorbitol can cause gastric problems like bloating and stomach cramps at low dosage. Many people who consume sorbitol find they develop acid reflux symptoms. Don't believe that when a product says it's sugar free it means it's "safe or good for teeth." Sugar-free products, especially chewing gum and diet drinks, may contain sorbitol. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
