I think multi-vitamins are more important as you get older. Your body simply doesn't absorb as much of the vitamins in food as it does when you're younger. So all that advice "Just eat a healthy diet" isn't quite as true.

How about "U" -- "Unstudied" If there's no money to study a supplement, it doesn't get studied. Or maybe "unmonied", because the particular studies the governments want cost $$$.

Most doctors today will tell you NOT to take iron, especially if you are a man. Apparently iron has been associated with various health concerns.

There’s a website, I can’t remember the link, but any text you search can be found to have already been written on one of its pages.

It's The Library of Babel

You can type up to 3200 characters in lower case. With a short sentence though, the "title" and page number may be longer than your original text!

Edit: Fixed url title

If you hike a bit outside the tourist areas of the Grand Canyon, you'll come across a fenced off area and radioactivity warning signs. Presumably someone attempted mining there.

Biden can't win the election without Harris.

Keep in mind that U.S. elections are not popular elections. You have to look at key swing states. Technically, none of the other 43~ states matter much because their outcomes are already statistically pre-determined. It doesn't matter how much people like Biden in California or New York, if he loses key states. For instance, Hillary Clinton had twice as many popular votes in California as Trump in 2016. But those extra 4 million extra votes didn't matter to the outcome because California is just one State.

For example, Michigan is a key electoral state. It is predominantly a red state. But Barak Obama won it two elections in a row because minorities from the densely populated areas, especially Wayne county, turned out for him. Those same minorities did not turn out when Hillary Clinton ran in 2016. They came back ... just barely ... when Biden ran with Harris as VP. This same story is repeated in Georgia and Wisconsin -- both swing states that usually lean heavily Red.

So, to sum up. It doesn't matter how much people in red states hate on Harris. Their election results have already been factored. What matters is how she is perceived in key swing states. While some red state voters won't vote for Biden because they fear he might keel over, other swing state voters will ... for exactly the same reason!

I read that, decades ago. By James Blish, who turned many of the first Star Trek episodes into books. That was probably why I read it.

And if there's life on other planets, 
then I'm sure that he must know,
and he's been there once already
and has died to save their Souls

Just thinking out loud. If your paper record is actually QR codes, then you could scan them into your device as you need them. So you wouldn't have to type some long, complicated sequence by hand.

Less support for KP on Linux. Needs Mono to run. More importantly, AFAIK, it won't interface with a browser extension (on Linux). So KP is more Windows oriented.
