Make watching TV better than ever by changing these picture settings - CNET
We'll show you how to tweak your TV's color, brightness, picture mode and more. It'll make a huge difference.

Why Marianne Williamson’s most famous passage is cited as a Nelson Mandela quote - Vox
The most well-known passage Marianne Williamson wrote has some disconcerting implications.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,” Williamson writes in A Return to Love. “Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.”

Are continuous glucose monitors a waste of time for people without diabetes? - Peter Attia
Some experts suggest CGMs are useless for nondiabetics. I disagree.
I like to see my patients with a mean glucose below 100 mg/dL, a glucose variability below 15 mg/dL, and, as noted above, no excursions of glucose above 140 mg/dL. After about a four-week intervention that included exercise changes and nutritional modifications his average glucose fell to 84 mg/dL, his glucose variability to 13 mg/dL, and he had zero events exceeding 140 mg/dL. If he can maintain this way of living in the long-run, it’s likely to translate into an improvement in healthspan and reduce his risk of glucose impairment.
I am a paid advisor to Dexcom; a company that develops, manufactures, and distributes CGMs.

How to make box joints (sometimes called finger joints) using only a router. Making box joints on the table saw requires a dado stack which isn’t available in all areas. The next best method is at the router table but not everyone has the space for a dedicated router table. This tutorial video shows a simple method on making a jig out of plywood for a hand held router that attaches to the base. Once you make this woodworking jig you’ll always be set up for box joints and finger joints. If you choose to change up your box joint finger width you’ll need to swap out the bit and make a dedicated fence for that bit.
