Thanks for writing this. A few notes:

  • I find Evernote to be an exceptionally great notetaking app.

  • If you end up using Google Calendar, I like Smooth Calendar as a widget that shows a few appts and lets you click through to the full calendar.

  • I previously had an S4, now an S5. I use the InvisibleShield Glass screen cover - people seem to keep finding ways to damage the glass on their phone screen, so the durable cover might pay dividends. (And already did on my S4, when I dropped it about a meter onto slate. I currently have a BodyGlove phone case.

  • I am totally mystified as to how you "go through" a phone case every month - I tend to use rubber ones or semi-flexible plastic, so the phone electronics would probably be mauled by the shock before the case suffered significant damage. Do you use a very different type of case?

Pseudoephedrine comes to mind. Does anyone know what the evidence is on that?

I haven't heard of psuedoephedrine having nootropic effects before - what have you heard? (On a related note, it mostly makes me unable to sleep. :( )

You'll have to be more specific: what kind of guidelines do you want and what's "sane" to you? :-)

Lower threshold on safe doses of lead and other contaminants for frequent and infrequent consumption. Mostly just wanted to check if you knew of any such guidelines that you considered sane. :P

Because they don't mean anything and they only serve to desensitise people to warning labels.

When I get a power strip at a corner store and it has a big label which says "WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm." I can only roll my eyes and marvel at the stupidity.

I hope these people won't hear about the dangerous chemical called dihydrogen monoxide...

Got it. Do you know of a sane set of guidelines that I can reference?

Comment author: Lumifer 16 August 2015 02:48:59AM 3 points [-]

The California guidelines are stupid.

Citations not really necessary, but would like to know why you have that opinion. I don't know much about contaminant quantities.

How do the California guidelines compare to other recommendations?

only 25% are younger than 31.

I think you may have flipped this one, (so it's actually 75%). Median is something like 26 or 28.
