Dow Jones - MarketWatch Trading Game

https://www.marketwatch.com/games You can sign up.... I think for FREE. I signed up as a paying member of the Wall Street Journal, but I think the MarketWatch games are FREE. MarketWatch is a decent website for following what is going on in the world economically. I also use CNBC. https://www.marke...

Re: Niacin, the real story

I am still taking B-Complex, but am not taking NAD+ at the moment. NAD+ is expensive and I am working on a tight budget, plus, who really knows if it is good for you. Maybe. Maybe not. I am not a doctor. Interesting video on NAD: https://odysee.com/@DrBerg:4/the-1-best-vitamin-for-arthritis-(not:7 h...

Re: What is the best application to tool steel for long term storage?

https://i.postimg.cc/DwyhXB43/IMG-3683.jpg This product is what many museums use to keep iron/steel Medieval artifacts from rusting away. I bought it. It is not messy like an oil or lubricant that will be all over everything and destroy paper and boxes used to store knives. You really have to be gu...

Re: Scientists found nanoplastics in arteries

I saw that. You know, that means that the stuff clogging up arteries is not simply cholesterol and statins will do little good. The question is, how to remove the plastic? Also, I remember seeing a study somewhere that being overweight is often tied to plastic from bottles, bags, etc. that we inges...

Re: Tracking the prices of knives over the years

I have a Dell Alienware that went down over a year ago and those internal drives have the most recent information on the knives and prices paid over the years (before I sold off 1/2 of them off). I have several other external WD Drives where things were backed up, and unfortunately WD sold me a bad ...

Re: AI art knows Spyderco

Two things slowing down the adoption and growth of AI are the availability of the best AI chips from Nvidia, and transformers that step down voltage on the lines to power buildings full of AI systems. There is already a huge backlog in transformers that will take years to work through. One of the cu...

The fundamental question people should be asking is: Is it net positive or net negative? Just be honest with yourself when answering this. I hardly see any positive. It's a new fangled contraption so everyone wants to try it. As I said, I tried it and it is an above average summary device for topic...

Re: Formula 1 2024

I like F1, but don't really follow that much of it. All of my time is spent watching World Superbike and MotoGP.

I did a separate post for World Superbike and MotoGP and I compared it to F1 so people would know what they are watching.
