I didn't end up using mine, as walking while keeping both hands on the keyboard doesn't work the right places in my back. I also get really sweaty when walking indoors with no breeze, it turns out. I'd recommend a cheap secon

I built a mental health tracker and a physical health tracker, that sit in my living room and use LEDs to display a prediction of how good my health is. The mental health tracker keeps track of my sleep, and how long it takes me to do vario

If the phenylephrine thing is true, that means I placebo'd my way through COVID in addition to every cold I've had in the past 15 or so years. Going from severely congested to not at all, every four hours, makes me think that it&#
