Tzu
"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."
"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

Weekend!
Have an excellent weekend. See you bright and early Monday morning. November here we come, ready or not.
Aristotle
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Hair And Nails
From AI Gemini:
Hair and fingernails grow at fairly steady average rates, though individual factors like genetics, age, and overall health can cause some variation.
Here is how much they typically grow in one month:
1. Hair Growth
- Average Growth Rate: About 0.5 inches (or roughly 1.25 cm) per month, which totals about 6 inches per year.
- Context: This rate applies to scalp hair for both males and females. Growth occurs in cycles (anagen, catagen, and telogen phases), meaning individual hairs grow at slightly different times, which is why shedding and continuous growth happen simultaneously.
2. Fingernail Growth
- Average Growth Rate: About 0.1 inches (or roughly 2.5 to 3 mm) per month. - Context: Fingernails grow about three to four times faster than toenails. On average, it takes roughly 3 to 6 months for a fingernail to completely regenerate from the cuticle to the tip. Interestingly, fingernails on a person's dominant hand tend to grow just a fraction faster due to increased blood circulation and daily use.

Cult Film - Horror, Mystery - Full Length Movie
I recently watched this, it's unusual. The story behind it is quite interesting too, i.e. the actors, director, how it was made etc.

Rilke
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. - Rainer Maria Rilke
World-Line
world-line - "The path of a pointlike object in four-dimensional spacetime is a line called the object’s world-line. To every moment in time corresponds one point of that world-line giving the position of the object in space at that particular moment."
Kale Versus Rapini Versus Spinach
From AI Gemini:
Here is a succinct breakdown of the primary nutritional differences between kale, rapini (broccoli rabe), and spinach:
Kale
- Standout Nutrient: Vitamin K (massive amount) and Vitamin A.
- Profile: Exceptionally high in antioxidants (beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin) supporting eye health. It is also a very good source of Vitamin C, calcium, and fiber, though it contains higher levels of oxalates and plant compounds that can slightly bind minerals (though less than spinach).
Rapini (Broccoli Rabe)
- Standout Nutrient: Vitamins A, C, and K, plus notable plant-based protein.
- Profile: Belonging to the brassica (mustard/cabbage) family rather than true greens, rapini is rich in cancer-preventing glucosinolates (similar to broccoli). It provides a solid mineral profile (calcium, iron, potassium) and is lower in oxalates, making its calcium and iron easier for the body to absorb.
Spinach
- Standout Nutrient: Folate (Vitamin B9) and Iron.
- Profile: An outstanding source of iron, magnesium, and potassium, alongside very high levels of vitamins A, C, and K. Its primary drawback is a high oxalate content, which binds to minerals like iron and calcium, reducing their overall bioavailability unless cooked or paired with Vitamin C.
PS - AI recommends Kale if we could only eat one of these greens for whatever reason.
