Or you could get on Facebook Marketplace and buy someone’s grandma’s $10,000 Henedon dining room set for $1500 that will last for another 100 years.
I’ve seen tons of them.
You can find Baker and Thomasville too.
It’s a damn shame people don’t look for quality pieces right in their own backyard. Then again, most young people don’t even know these companies made furniture in North Carolina.
250 years ago our greatest grandfathers beat the dogshit out of the most powerful military on the planet over a 3% tax and now we can’t deport 100 million immigrants that hate us because women and gays think it would be mean
The Declaration of Independence is the greatest document ever produced by man. It’s no coincidence that it was the founding document of our nation and we went on to be the most prosperous civilization in human history. Any country founded on that document is worth loving and fighting to save.
It is also, undeniably, a radically libertarian document that clearly states the validity of natural God given rights and that the only legitimate role for government is the protection of liberty.
We have serious problems in our country today and we will be much better off if we follow the spirit of our founding document than the brain dead varying socialisms being promoted by both political parties.
I’m a dermatologist. I’m supposed to say there is no amount of safe sun exposure.
But I won’t, because that’s a lie.
The attached shows how much sun is safe in different cities at different times of year.
What do I mean by ‘safe’?
I mean this: UV causes DNA damage and skin cancer.
But, shockingly, your body repairs that damage. As long as the damage doesn’t outpace repair and start accumulating it shouldn't increase your risk of skin cancer.
Data just came out that tells us how much UV you can get without damage accumulating.
They took the people most susceptible to DNA damage from UV and exposed them to UV, then did skin biopsies to measure the damage, then more skin biopsies to measure the repair, and repeated it daily for 4 days.
At 1.6 ‘Standard Erythemal Dose’ (SED) there was no accumulation of damage.
So, the attached charts show how much sun it takes to get 1 SED in different cities at different times of the year at different times of day.
And there are extra safety margins built in. It assumes a perfectly clear day with zero air pollution and that the sun is hitting your skin perpendicularly. Unless you’re laying flat, most sun is hitting you at an angle, which isn’t nearly as intense.
But a bigger question you might be asking is ‘Why would a dermatologist be telling you to get sun in the first place?’
Because getting sun reduces your risk of death.
Mostly by reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. That is very well proven.
But it’s also very likely that sun exposure reduces your risk of autoimmune disease, dementia, cancer and depression. It’s just not as well proven as the protection against heart attacks and strokes.
And before you reply and say ‘just take vitamin D!’, know that it has been ROBUSTLY proven that vitamin D has little (if any) benefit for preventing any of the above. Vitamin D is mostly useful as a marker of if you’re getting enough sun.
What do I do myself and what do I tell my patients?
Get as much unprotected sun exposure as you can without getting a burn.
That’s my GUESS as to what has the best risk/benefit ratio. Dying of skin cancer is actually really rare, especially when compared to the risk of heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune disease, dementia and other cancers.
But I’ll admit it’s not for sure best to get as much sun as possible, since sun does increase the risk of skin cancer and it might be the case the benefits plateau at a low level.
So, if you’re really worried about skin cancer stick to the charts.
The best science I can find says that amount won’t cause skin cancer.
The takeaway?
Sun is good for you, just don’t get a burn.
Swiss farmers planted flowers between their crops and watched pest damage drop by over half. The UK is now running the same trial across 15 farms. The reason this works is embarrassingly simple.
A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%.
The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew that would jump at the chance to whoop some aphid ass.
In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%.
The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise.
This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up, but the predators show up too.

IDF officers laughing as little Gazan toddlers shake with their legs blown off. Israelis shooting a 4-year-old girl in the street and mocking her brother for trying to save her.
This is why they bought big corporate media, social media influencers, and Tik Tok.
They kept authentic footage from Gaza hidden from Evangelical Christian America and flooded the media and social platforms with fake propaganda showing “See! Everything is fine over there!”
They knew that if any Jesus-loving Christian saw the truth and the reality of the horrors in Gaza, they would know this is not a “chosen” people by God but an extension of the satanic kingdom.
The Jesus I serve loves the little children. Christian America was lied to and deceived. America needs an exorcism from the demon called Israel.
The deeper you look into chemical sunscreen filters, the darker it gets
12 chemical UV filters remain on the market without confirmed safety status, years after the FDA said so in writing during 2016
Several of them break down into documented mutagens and carcinogens on contact with the exact light they’re sold to block
Several more reach the bloodstream at levels hundreds of times past the threshold that triggers additional required testing, and stays there for days after a single application
Your doctor is afraid of the sun, but the chemistry and circadian POV says he or she should be more afraid of the iatrogenic bottle they’re recommending
I am against third parties. They harm our cause. HOWEVER.
Why do Republicans feel entitled to our votes? They pander to scammy crypto donors, Big Tech, and neocons.
When the base asks for something, we are told, "Know your place, slave."
People are tired of it.
Trying to square the circle of the same people who said Tucker is irrelevant now saying that if he starts a third party, Republicans can't win in 2028.
It took a little longer than expected, but we have created a website for people to view the footage collected from Gaza in one place. You no longer have to download the entire archives to see them.
It includes:
64,537 videos
17,905 photos
Ability to download individual videos
Searchable index
Exhaustive sources list (300+ journalists)
Geolocation data
Livemap with minute to minute updates

The US Men's soccer team is a million percent more likable than the women's soccer team.
So refreshing to see a group of really good people representing the US while actually loving their country.
The two party political system in America is designed and functions to divide 99% of Americans so you see each other as the enemy and refuse to work together to overthrow the real enemy which are the elites, who game the system to enrich themselves, hold the power, and enslave the 99% in debt slavery with few ladders to climb out.
If the 99% would break free from the prison of the two party mindset, then the 99% will defeat the elites who have built the political prison.
The two party system has enslaved you in $40 trillion in debt, will bankrupt Social Security and Medicare by 2032, and is ruining the value of the dollar you work so hard to earn.
It’s madness.
The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.
"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore."
"The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research and we actually don't even know who did the research."
"Everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it."

If light is the information, water is the medium, melanin is the transducer, DHA is the receiver and electrical wiring, mitochondria are the processors, and hormones are the messengers.
Perhaps we’ve been looking at biology backwards.
Health may begin not with hormones or supplements, but with the environment that powers and organises them.
