Any relation between furanocoumarins and coumarins? The latter is in cinnamon which I’ve read lately can be quite hazardous depending on the ingested amount.

I think if you understand the job creep, or like yourself if you understand the role they can play in democracy and free speech, the relevance will be understood. A surface level 'why do I need libraries I can just google', which I (possibly wrongly) assume many people have, might cause the questioning.

Then again, often when municipal libraries are threatened in some way, there does seem to be an earnest community outpouring of support for them. Perhaps the understanding and appreciation is there, but just quiet.

As someone with a masters and phd in library science fields but not actually working a library, some of the sentiment described here always came across, to me, as librarians (understandably) trying to make themselves relevant in a world where their relevance is increasingly easy to disregard. The enthusiasm they feel for their profession has always seemed extremely high as a result.

I do like the concept but no way to trigger a reminder is a bit of a personal dealbreaker.

Helps keep Linked Data somewhat relevant, at least.

Certainly was expecting more highlighting of the camera in the article going by that title.

>3. Act in moderation. Low to moderate doses of Vitamin D (e.g. 400 to 2000 IUs daily) have proven to be safe in trials. If you think there is a benefit and we just don't have enough data to prove it yet, you may be right. We do know the harms of taking too much, though, so supplement in moderation. And if you are taking Vitamin D, ask your doctor to check your blood levels.

I'll probably carry on with this then. I was taking a single 4000 IU pill every four days (which was the suggested dosage) but once a week for around 570 IUs a day should be fine. Frankly I hate blood tests and don't believe I'm D deficient, so I'd rather take a lower, even if useless, amount.

Similar in size to many portable setups you already see on HeadFi.
