Things Worth Noting
Fluoroquinolones like Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), Levofloxacin (Levaquin), Gemifloxacin (Factive), Moxifloxacin (Avelox), Norfloxacin (Noroxin), and Ofloxacin (Floxin) are powerful antibiotics used for serious bacterial infections, but they carry severe risks. They can cause tendon rupture (especially Achilles), permanent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy), mental health issues like anxiety, psychosis, and suicide risk, plus life-threatening aortic aneurysm or dissection.

Protect sensitive letters without a shredder using simple home methods. Manual tearing or scissors work fast—cut into tiny strips, then cross-cut. Crinkle paper first to make it easier. For full destruction, soak in water 24+ hours, add diluted bleach if needed, then blend into pulp. Compost the mush or trash it. Burn safely outdoors in […]
Valve has revived the Steam Machine, a compact console launching in early 2026 that delivers 4K gaming at 60 FPS using AMD Zen 4 CPU, RDNA3 GPU, 16GB RAM, and FSR upscaling—over six times more powerful than the Steam Deck. Running SteamOS on Linux with Windows install option, it offers full Steam library access via […]
AI is transforming healthcare by using machine learning and deep learning on big data from genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics to speed up drug discovery, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Tools like AlphaFold predict protein structures for in silico testing, while generative AI designs new molecules and repurposes drugs for diseases like IPF and rare conditions. AI-driven […]
Humanity faces existential risks that could end our future, from natural disasters like asteroid impacts, supervolcanic eruptions, gamma-ray bursts, and solar flares to human-made threats including climate change, nuclear war, pandemics, superintelligent AI, and cyberattacks. Climate drives biodiversity loss and societal collapse through extreme weather and resource scarcity. Nuclear winter from war could kill billions […]

In an era of economic uncertainty, with inflation stabilizing but fiscal pressures mounting, building wealth from nothing remains a realistic pursuit for those committed to discipline, patience, and strategic action. Whether you’re starting with zero savings or burdened by debt, the path to financial independence involves cultivating a growth mindset, setting clear financial goals, and […]
On November 11, 2025, a powerful X5.1 solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4274 during solar cycle 25’s peak, causing R3-level radio blackouts across Africa and Europe. The flare’s soft X-rays ionized the ionosphere, disrupting high-frequency (HF) radio used in aviation, maritime, and emergency services, while also causing GPS errors and radar interference. A coronal mass […]
Vitamin D3 supplementation may cut the risk of a second heart attack by 50% in survivors, according to the TARGET-D trial. This study of 630 recent heart attack patients used targeted dosing to raise blood levels above 40 ng/mL, often requiring 5,000 IU or more daily. While overall major cardiac events showed no big change, […]
Kefir and yogurt are both fermented dairy foods packed with probiotics for gut health, but they differ in ways that matter. Yogurt uses two main bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus) and has a thick, creamy texture. Kefir ferments with kefir grains—a mix of up to 61 bacteria and yeasts—making it fizzy, drinkable, and more probiotic-diverse. […]
