A while ago there was a necklace discovered in Sweden [1], thought to be about 2000 years old it made international headlines. Then it made headlines again when analysis revealed it was a fake.

Not saying this knife will turn out to be a fake but seeing "Experts will soon conduct a metallurgical analysis" makes me just that little bit hesitant.

We also have "the moped ring" [1], an 800-gram gold+silver necklace from 500 AD that some kid clipped a piece off to fix their moped. :)

This is on display at the Historical Museum in Stockholm, which has a fancy vault-like "Gold room" [2] showing off lots of found treasures. Recommended.

This guy already found another big deal find that was legit, a papal bull. They are part of a historical preservation group. I think you can bet on it being real.


The diabetics I know say OJ is worse than (sugared) sodas.


Maybe because they can drink it faster. Glycmic index's and the equivalent index's around insulin response are literally the gold standard for deciding what's okay to eat. "Vibes" or "My opinions" do not matter. OJ is marginally "healthier", significantly because the fiber in the drink (more pulp the better) slows down (slightly) the insulin and glycemic responses.

I have no idea if this might be related, but citric acid is known to speed up mixed absorption of non-protein sources by inhibiting proteolytic enzymes in the digestive tract (it is even used in some medicines that require faster absorption because of this).

To that effect, perhaps the glucose in OJ is absorbed faster than the glucose in other SSBs specifically when consumed with other foods, leading to this anecdotal understanding that OJ is "worse" than other SSBs among diabetics?


This article tries to redefine the correct time by pointing to clocks that are not precise.

I kept reading it as time travel for some reason


Bought mine at our local "biological" museum for about $150 (in Sweden where everything is a little more expensive). 20x/40x magnification, indirect or through slide illumination, solid construction.

The leds could be better and/or brighter but works for looking at stuff and for photography with a 3D printed phone holder on one of the ocular lenses.

This seems a bit redundant, doesn't it?


- Don't care that it was a bomb at the box office, I really enjoyed Heaven's Gate.

Ok, with English as a second language and not familiar with Kris body of works I read this as a quote from a song. Took me way too long to realize the intended meaning. As a line of song lyrics it rocks hard but doesn't really roll off the tongue.

I've come across my box of Palms a few times and had limited success getting them going. Seems they don't like being in storage for almost two decades. Really loved my Palms back then.


I have both a PalmPilot Professional (with serial) and a Palm m500 (with USB), the latter is a lot easier to pocket, but the USB support is horrible in modern OS. I keep wanting to get back in to Palm dev. I even managed to get Pila to compile under macOS Catalina a few years ago.

I also have a stack of V-Tech Helio's, which is a PalmPilot clone. I don't remember why I ended up with 3 of them, but I got them to reflash the OS and never got around to it. Their whole OS source code is available online. The compiler is not easy to make to work these days though. DJGPP and I think 16bit.

Wolfram Alpha had "us" making a 966 m sphere.

Which has a link that gives us the radius.
