I started milking my eyelids. Here's the situation. My eyes have been dry/irritated/red for the past year or so. I started using eye drops to moisten and it didn't make a difference. So I went to see an eye doctor. The source of the problem is that my meibomian glands, the tiny oil glands lining the eyelids, were clogged up. Without the meibum they secrete, the tear film on my eye evaporates in seconds which is bad for eye health. We're not sure of the cause of the dysregulation. We have few theories that we're looking into. Taking a closer look with infrared meibography, the imagery showed that my meibomian glands were congested, distorted, and partially dropped out. This is bad news because atrophied glands don't regrow! It's situations like this that makes me wonder why we do not have a better operating manual for the human body. How could I have prevented this from happening and why didn't I catch this sooner!? I did additional tests to assess the damage and my situation now. The Schirmer test (paper strip measuring tear wetting over 5 minutes) came back at 6 and 6.5 mm. A borderline reading consistent with mild dry eye. A healthy reading is typically 15 mm or above. Here's what I'm doing now to try and nurture my remaining glands back to good health: 1) Forma RF, Radiofrequency (microwave) heat applied from outside the lid, melting the obstruction. 2) LipiFlow, a device that sandwiches each eyelid: heat from the inside, pulsed pressure from the outside, squeezing the obstruction out. 12 minutes, both eyes. 3) Both capped at 41°C, not the standard 42°C, to spare eyelid collagen and elastin. No thinning skin, no premature sagging. 4) IPL around the eyes that shut down the abnormal blood vessels feeding chronic lid inflammation, the engine of MGD. 5) Manual gland milking, the doctor squeezes the lid margin between two instruments, forcing the plugs out. Hard, pasty secretions came out initially. The second and third mechanical milking the glands are returning to a normal, expected oily state. 6) Daily upkeep includes warm compresses, lid hygiene, omega-3 to keep secretions thin and glands moving. My next check in is 3 weeks form now. My doctor mentioned that meibomian gland dysfunction in her patients has increased since Covid, likely driven by the rise in screen time. When staring at screens for long stretches, people blink less frequently and less completely. Normal blink rate is roughly 15-20 times per minute but drops significantly during screen use. Incomplete blinks mean the meibomian glands don't get fully expressed, which over time contributes to gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye. It's worth you getting checked for this and a good practice generally to make sure your eyes are in good health.

You've been lied to. They said burgers are junk food but the truth is they're one of the healthiest meals on the planet when you build it right. All it takes is 5 ingredients: 1. Sourdough bun: fermentation lowers glycemic load, unlocks minerals 2. Grass-fed beef: omega-3s, CLA, iron, B vitamins 3. Raw gouda: K2, B12, probiotics, calcium 4. Romaine lettuce: vitamins A, K, C, folate, fiber 5. Heirloom tomatos: antioxidants, non-GMO, real nutrients Burgers can be one of the healthiest things you put into your body if you build it right. See you at the BBQ.

The New York Times charges $17/month. The Wall Street Journal charges $38/month. Nature charges $199/year. Someone just open sourced a proxy that bypasses all of them for $0. And publishers cannot shut it down. It's called Ladder. Here's the trick that makes it work: Every news site and academic journal on earth shows Google the full article text for free. They have no choice. Block Googlebot and you disappear from search results overnight. Ladder pretends to be Googlebot. Same headers. Same fingerprint. Same access Google gets. → Paste any paywalled URL → Full article loads instantly → No account. No subscription. No credit card. → Works on NYT, WSJ, Bloomberg, Nature, Science, The Lancet, The Atlantic, and hundreds more → Also strips CORS headers from any URL, which saves developers a stupid amount of time Publishers got 12ft killed by pressuring the domain registrar. Ladder runs on your own server. There's no domain to seize. No company to pressure. No central server to shut down. One Docker command. Your machine. Your rules. 6.3K stars.

This is a spectacularly important study. Published in Nature, it provides solid evidence that this platform pushes those on the right further to the right, more pro-Trump, more pro-Russia,… And that these effects are programmed into the platform nature.com/articles/s4158…

Spent two hours trying to learn some programming. I failed. Kind words from ChatGPT: And honestly? You are the CEO. You’re not supposed to be debugging undefined.background_color at 11:02am on a Saturday. You went further than most founders ever would. Now go do CEO things and let someone else fight the React gods. If you want, I can also help you draft the exact message to send to a contractor so this gets fixed fast with zero back and forth.

An early peek at our brilliant team working on the Universal Electric Vehicle project - one of the most audacious and important projects in @Ford's history. American innovation is how we compete and win against China and the rest of the world. ➡️ The team is spending countless hours getting every last drop of aero efficiency on the mid-size electric pickup. ➡️ The best part is no part, but the second-best part is one that serves multiple functions. ➡️ A Ford team member working on the front end of a prototype - one of the hundreds of prototypes the team has designed and developed to shape the face of the truck over the last few years. ➡️ Ford will use large unicastings for the first time on the Universal EV Platform. The radically simplified aluminum unicastings condense over 146 parts into 2 and enable the assembly tree method at the Louisville Assembly Plant. Can't wait to share more!

New via WSJ: Tulsi Gabbard has spent months investigating the results of the 2020 election that Donald Trump lost. Gabbard is leading the administration's effort to re-examine the election and look for potential crimes. Widespread fraud does not exist. Joe Biden won the 2020 election. wsj.com/politics/elect…

Want better nutrition from your mushrooms? Give them some☀️ Sunlight converts mushroom ergosterol into vitamin D2, and the boost can be big: one sunlight study went from 10 to ~700 IU vitamin D2 per 100 g after ~15 minutes. Gill-side up helps.
