Well, I could index before (I just had to suffer with my computer monitor to do it—which monitor apparently had a fluorescent backlight, and if you know me very well, I'm quite light-sensitive, especially to fluorescent lights). I got a new computer monitor for $60. It's an HP P204 (19.5 inch; 2020 model).
The text looked a lot better after I changed the resolution to the highest one, increased the DPI a lot, and decreased font sizes for things on my computer. It has a nice, bright display that doesn't bother me much more than my Kindle Fire HD 8 sixth edition's.
So, I indexed some to celebrate (after doing some general-purpose web stuff). I need to brush my teeth and stuff. So … until next time.

I saw the biggest rainbow I'd ever seen on Wednesday, in the late afternoon or early evening, after some rain. It was really thick, and bright, with lots of stripes, and it was a full rainbow, too (I didn't notice it being a double rainbow, though, although, I've seen doubles for smaller, thinner ones).
The purpose of this thread is to outline concepts and things related to executive function, for reference purposes. Note that the lists here may not be exhaustive, but this page may be edited from time to time.
List of concepts:
• Attentional control
• Cognitive flexibility
• Cognitive shifting
• Cognitive inhibition
• Fluid intelligence
• Inibitory control
• Nootropics (drugs/herbs/supplements that affect executive function, among other things)
• Planning
• Task switching
• Working memory
List of shows designed to help improve executive function:
• Wishenpoof!
Herbs I want to investigate, with regard to effects on executive function:
• Stachys (including betony and Florida radish): Reported effects of betony on people who use computers a lot are what got me thinking it might influence executive function.
Articles or websites related to executive function:
• Tips to help improve working memory
Conditions that may impact executive function:
• ADHD
• Epilepsy
• OCD
• Tourette Syndrome

We just had an earthquake! (At 5:54-5:55 PM Mountain Time.) A relative of mine about six hours drive away in Nevada exerpienced a similar one at the same time. They lasted about 20-30 seconds. It felt like there was some construction going on right by me, and I thought a relative in the kitchen was doing it with something or other at first. The house seems to be fine, other than some brass that fell off a shelf.
I felt a feeling like a mix between anxiety (the excited sort, and not the worrisome sort) and static electricity, but the electrical feeling could have been my imagination.

I thought this forum was fascinating: http://es-forum.com
It a place where people with electrical sensitivities can talk about stuff. I don't have a lot of the issues they talk about, but I am quite light-sensitive (both to visible light and some kinds of radio waves), which is why I'm posting this. Plus, it's a Nabble forum! So is ours.

So, once upon a time, I read a study about how adding extra iodine to the soil can help one get a lot more iodine from the plants that grow. My post isn't about the iodine needs of plants, however. It's just about increasing iodine consumption.
Where does one get the sort of iodine that they used for this, I wonder.
I'm not sure what I first read, but here's an article for you: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4993787/
Another alternative might be to swim in the ocean (or just wet your feet in it). There's iodine in the water, and I imagine it can be absorbed through your skin into your bloodstream (much as magnesium sulfate can be).

Um, that URL looks scary in about four ways. So, I don't blame you if you refuse to visit it, but it talks about Dusty Crawford, a Montana man who is a member of the Blackfeet tribe. He got a genetic test that said he had ancestors from the Americas from before the land bridge (17k years).
There's a video, too. I didn't watch it, except the beginning to see what Dusty looked like.

One thing I've learned about learning is that if you have trouble with one thing, learning other things can eventually contribute to your ability to learn the first thing.
The other things need not be obviously related.

It's my personal view that microscope research is one of the most important things a government can fund (i.e. to get better, easier-to-use, and less expensive, microscopes). Just think about it.
By funding it, I don't mean incentivizing via intellectual property (which can slow progress, due to patents making it so no one else can use the idea—that's a problem when the patent-owner can't or won't use the idea).
As this is one of the first posts in this forum, note that this is on-topic because it is about microscopes. Microscopes are objects, and objects are on-topic.
