So this, Mina... I don't understand this at all! It's just outside, that there is something interesting going on. First, you have the sunlight, which is beneficial because of the indispensable vitamin D... Then you can see various people, meet them, talk to them, help them! I ask people who use crutches, or who limp, or others with visible sequels, what they have experienced... and how I can help them... You can also help the animals in the street, dogs and cats, feed them and even adopt them! All this happens outside.

Cutting Your Own Hair Can Save You From Looking Like You Spent Money On A Haircut LIFE·Nov 9, 2022 · BabylonBee.com U.S. — With people across the country pinching pennies to deal with runaway inflation, several reports suggest that cutting your own hair can save you from looking like you spent money on a haircut. "With millions spent per year by individuals trying to look like they paid for a real haircut, the potential savings are staggering," said Harvard Economist Buggs Tampy. "We anticipate this year that thousands of Americans will save themselves from looking like they paid for a haircut by not paying for a haircut." Popular techniques being employed include the bowl cut, the buzz cut, and classic hippie dreadlocks. Experts say all three styles are guaranteed to save people the trouble of looking like they paid money for someone to cut their hair for them. Hairdressers and cosmetics companies are not happy with this development, however. "We've trained hard all our lives so that you can look like you paid a professional to take scissors and shorten the length of your hair," said a spokesperson for Supercuts. "We will not be ignored!" At publishing time, further reports had indicated Americans were also saving themselves from looking like they spent money on clothing. Here: https://babylonbee.com/news/report-cutting-your-own-hair-can-save-you-from-looking-like-you-spent-money-on-a-haircut -sure, I've been cutting my own hairs for ages, always...with an electric haircutter.

@XPerceniol: At the end of your article, we have two interesting testimonials, which I will quote here: A home at last ‘They’ve given me my self-esteem back’ Lisa Mindshull has had periods of homelessness ever since she ran away from home, aged 15, to escape her abusive father. Most recently, she’s been sleeping rough in Manchester. “For 11 months, I was sleeping at a derelict church every night,” she says. When Housing First took her on, she was sceptical; she had heard all their promises before, but this time it was different. She’s finally settled in a place she can call home; she has friendly neighbours, a growing number of friends, and she has Cheryl, who has been more like a best friend to her than a support worker. “They put me in control,” she says. “I felt this time they were listening to me. They’ve given me my self-esteem back; gave me my strength back. And I’ve got a purpose, something to live for. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” ‘My support worker checks on me every week’ Gary Cundle has spent 30 of his 49 years on and off Manchester’s streets. Cundle doesn’t think much of charities and hostels; even though they’ve been helpful to him over the years, they’ve never solved his problems. “Housing First helped me in a big way. [My support worker] comes to check on me every week to make sure I’m paying my bills or if there’s anything wrong,” Cundle says. He won’t go into much detail about how he ended up homeless but says he’s abused all manner of drugs over the years: “I’ve been on everything: crack, heroin, cannabis.” Before Cundle got on the pilot scheme, he bounced between the city’s hostels and the streets. Now he has his own place in Salford and a clear care plan, which provides him with the support he needs with his mental health and drug dependency. “Without Housing First, I wouldn’t have known how to go about that,” he admits. - the link is in the post above.

Here you've our MSFN topic: How to set pagefile? (page 2): https://msfn.org/board/topic/61176-how-to-set-pagefile/page/2/ It's been a long time since I've played with pagefile changes, but I went back to the original setting.

I hope so... because it makes sense that they were NOT accidental.

This example is very valid. The russian orthodox church is is completely overrun by the KGB/FSB agents. This makes me happy that you are of the same opinion as me...

If You Can Pass This 10-Second Test, There’s a Good Chance You’ll Outlive Your Peers That is, if you’re over the age of 50. BY STAV DIMITROPOULOS - PUBLISHED: NOV 7, 2022 Being able to stand on one leg for at least 10 seconds means you’ll likely outlive the majority of your peers, a new study says. The research sheds light on the importance of balance for overall health, which the modern fitness industry has somewhat pushed to the curb. Though other researchers suggest moderation in the way we interpret the outcomes of these simple tasks, you might want to start including the balance test in your morning toothbrushing routine. Perhaps you’ve already tried balancing on one leg during a routine as simple as brushing your teeth. If you can balance on one leg for at least 10 seconds, rejoice! Chances are, you will outlive many of your peers. On the other hand, if you are over the age of 50 and cannot perform this balance test, you could be at a higher risk of dying within a decade compared to your peers, according to new research from Brazil. The Brazilian study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicineearlier this year, found that the inability to balance on one leg for 10 seconds translated to an 84 percent higher risk of death from any cause for people ages 51 and above. This was a longitudinal study, meaning that researchers observed the same subjects several times across a span of time. In this case, the research took place between 2009 and 2020, though it was part of a broader project that began in 1994. It recruited 1,702 people between the ages of 51 and 75, all living in Brazil. The researchers gave participants three chances to try to balance unsupported on one leg for 10 seconds during an initial checkup. They found that one in five failed to complete the task. Then, they followed up on the participants’ health over a period of seven years and found that 17.5 percent of those who had failed the test had died, while only 4.5 percent of those who had passed the test had died. Though previous studies have made other longevity claims—anything from running 40 minutes a day to embracing new tech to feeling younger than your chronological age to mopping floors—this new study suggests that having good balance might be the secret sauce for survival (or is at least one of the main ingredients). Try the balance test yourself: Find back-up balance support, like a wall or chair, in case you need it. Stand on one leg, resting your other leg on the back of the standing leg. Keep your arms at your sides. Repeat up to two more times if unsuccessful. Typically, the average person experiences a decline in muscle strength after the age of 35 at a rate of 1 to 2 percent a year. The risk of sarcopenia, an age-related muscle-wasting disease, also increases drastically from the age ranges of 65 to 70 and 80 and older, from 14 percent to 53 percent respectively. Between the ages of 30 and 40, flexibility also diminishes, with men losing it faster than women. By comparison, balance on average tends to decline after a person’s mid-50s, according to the research. (The inability to complete the balance test became twice as difficult every five years among the participants). “What’s the big deal?” you might wonder. You are getting older, and at some point in time you might lose your balance, fall, fracture your hip, and … the end. “Of course this is a possibility,” Claudio Gil Araújo, director of research and education at Exercise Medicine Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who spearheaded the study, tells Popular Mechanics. “But to me, the most important reason for people falling is because they are unfit, physically speaking,” Araújo says. In part, living longer is a matter of being fit, but not necessarily in the way the fitness industry has taught you. The modern fitness industry holds a very myopic view of what fitness is. “Go to any mega-gym in New York and you will find people running on the treadmill, usually those who run well, and people lifting in the weight room, usually those who lift well,” says Araújo. How many can you count working on things like balance or flexibility, though? “Things like balance, you can do at home. Balance is hard to sell,” says Araújo. But balance is the foundation of a person’s ability to move and function independently, and it requires the coordination of several physiological systems. It’s a core element of longevity, something well-documented in previous studies. Yet the desire to cheat death is stronger than ever, today, as shown by the global longevity and anti-senescence therapy market, which is projected to reach $44.2 billion by 2030. So, this research could not stress more why you should focus on improving your balance if you are a fan of a longer existence on this planet. “This study adds, perhaps in a new population, to numerous prior studies which have shown that quick and simple tests of physical performance—including walking speed, grip strength, or as in this case, balance—used with older adults can be predictive of poor health outcomes,” Thomas Buford, a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Division of Gerontology, Geriatrics and Palliative Care and director for the UAB Center for Exercise Medicine, tells Popular Mechanics. It is of course simplistic to think that poor test performance can cause these outcomes directly, Buford continues, but these outcomes are a good proxy for overall health. “These outcomes can have utility, but one must be cautious at the individual level to overreact to a single performance on any one of the individual tasks,” Buford says. That said, he believes encouraging and providing tools for older adults to maintain their physical function as much as possible as they age is essential.

Here too, Windows take care of it natively. Good night to you all! See you tomorrow.

Mina, so you're not sick anymore? It seems to me, but I can't see you too clearly, because of the distance between us... Warm up at home for a few more days, then go out and walk around freely, please.

Good to hear you're getting better.

That's not good. You can get out frequently, I'm sure...but it's your decision, Mina.

But "my bad" expression is nothing, don't be angry, please, sorry. In English I have to write "my buddy", I see now.

Ah Mina! - visit your doctor now. Sleeping make good only for your sickeness. I do NOT wear masks outside, wear masks it's horrible sure, it's not mandatory here, hopefully.

Of course I notice that - I stand in solidarity with others, sure! Why you ask this to me?

Eh oui.. exactly, "Stupidity is everywhere." ...and "The world is a madhouse." It's Cicero?.. already in Cicero times?..

but... are you kidding? WHY. Maybe you are sick? Maybe is not secure in your environment, your city? Tell me everything, please.

We talk about "these "accidental" fires" of churches, my bad. Not about "the Western culture".

Why Ants—Not Humans—Might Be the First Animal Aliens Want to Study We’re not quite as intriguing as we think we are. BY MANASEE WAGH - PUBLISHED: NOV 3, 2022 Human athletes test their mettle in elite competitions like the Olympics. You can almost count on our feats of strength and agility to exceed previous accomplishments. Yet, if we opened the Olympics to all animals, humans wouldn’t win a single event. Kind of humbling. In the seventh installment of Pop Mech Explains the Universe with Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist and science communicator opens the door to imagining a universe that doesn’t revolve around our human definitions of “smart” or “strong.” If aliens were to come to Earth, they’d have their pick of creatures to study first. They may not choose the most brawny animals, but they would choose the most intriguing, right? That depends on what you mean by “intriguing.” Humans do seem to be the brainiest. But measuring brains isn’t straightforward, and it’s also not necessarily a good indication of how aliens would view us. After all, whales, elephants, and dolphins all have bigger brains than humans. So what about largest brains relative to our body weight? It looks at first like we win here—but not by much. Mice have the same brain-to-body-weight ratio as we do. And there’s a huge additional caveat: “That contest that we just barely win—that only applies to mammals,” Tyson says. Mid-sized birds have a higher brain-to-body-weight ratio than humans do. Take magpies, which are smarter than we think. After drinking some water from a bottle, a magpie in a YouTube video can’t reach far enough with its beak to keep sipping. It looks around, finds a pebble small enough to fit through the bottle’s neck, and drops it in, raising the level till it can drink again. The magpie does this eight times, apparently demonstrating an understanding of displacement. “Every time you want to claim that no other animals have intelligence, or nothing compared to us—you see things like this, and it makes you take pause,” Tyson says. But the biggest brain-to-body-weight ratio winners are some species of ants. No matter how you dice it, we can’t prove we’d be the most intriguing species to otherworldly lifeforms. So would aliens necessarily pay attention to us first? Tyson thinks we might be sixth on their list. “We hope we’d make the shortlist, but I wouldn’t guarantee it.” Here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a41856468/animal-brains-neil-degrasse-tyson/ - I could not watch the video - NO video, but PLAY button only... The website is not working properly... no content on the home page, but links OK.

It's nothing, Mina. Then continue in good health, dress warmly, get out of the house to go for walks every day imperatively! No sports that exhaust you. ..and eat healthy.

What RAM you have?.. I've 3 GB, so 1 of 1 GB and 1 of 2 GB. Found in the street, so free of charge. Replace RAM, it's not big depense.

Maybe we are afraid... afraid not to break the forum rules... But... it's self-censorship?... o tempora, o mores. "Oh the times! Oh the customs!" - Cicero

Haha you play the language so that I confirm "bad omens"... ha I confirm them in that case. Surely bad omens for our future, as human species in our "civilized" countries... But it's something else than "believing in omens", superstitions, instead of believing in God... it seems to me... It is not comparable, I think.

perfect, then continue your life according to your education... that's horrible, I hope you are as horrified as I am

That is very true - "the toxic behavior, greed, corruption..." are everywhere. And that prediction from article - this one is easibly predictable by anyone... it's enough to go out in the street, in the city...
