This actually seems pretty cool: https://www.amazon.com/S-ResMed-Personal-Sleep-Solution/dp/B00NP52QE0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1486478635&sr=8-1&keywords=S%2B+by+ResMed
"It uses sonar, and those ultrasonic pulses can see straight through blanket (and PJ's) to monitor the movement of your chest as your breathe your way through the different stages of sleep."
Note that a San Diego, California based company, ResMed purchased Zeo's intellectual property. Sadly, ResMed produces another of the cannot possibly (and doesn't) work bedside sleep monitors, the S+. It bathes the sleeper in microwave radiation and uses the Doppler-shift in reflected microwaves to detect upper body motion and respiration. Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.
So...who wants to be cooked while they sleep?
I could use a base tan
Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway
I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.
Speaking to the choir on that one, at least around here. I wish I could remember the name of that movie about nuclear power. A banana has more natural radiation than a generation plant releases in a year. And a beach in Brazil has a natural level of around 12. It's very sad that we don't have a clue of where the point is that your health starts to deteriorate.
Exactly, we're so worried about skin cancer, etc.
Was skin cancer a huge problem pre 1980's?
Yes it was. Farmers were heavily affected. People didn't tan like they do today, that's the bigger issue causing it today.
It must be genetic... Cause my family in generations past were farmers as well. Nobody died of skin cancer.

Depends on the kind of farming, the physical region, if they had hair, if they wore hats, etc.

No but everyone used to die a terrible death at 35.
Very true. Often to mammoth attack.
That indeed sounds terrible.

Farmers used to be subject to skin cancer, even long ago. Today farmers know to wear hats, though. And SPF50 and that kind of stuff. So they aren't subject to it like they were 100 yeas ago.
But now, instead, teenage girls subject themselves to even worse radiation intentionally and that is a much bigger problem. So overall, the issue of skin cancer is on the rise. But the shift from accidental to intentional is important.

Meaning, you as a person concerned with skin cancer, are at very low risk today because you know what to do. Even though in society the incidence of skin cancer is on the rise.

I am typing with a spider on my monitor of my laptop. It's watching me. It's standing near my avatar two posts up.

I chased it with my mouse pointer, that kind of worked.

Is it still on the rise? Even with all the ads everywhere today? Just wondering?
As for the farmers - OK sure, farmers where subject to skin cancer due to the nature of their job, but what about the rest of society? In general, first world nations have been indoors for a long while - discounting those few who work outdoors, how far back do we have to go to find when skin cancer was a real issue? OR, did life longevity play a factor before skin cancer did back then, say, pre 1900?

More the short longevity, but I'd think both would have been an issue.

I tend to agree with you, Travis. As Bill mentioned - our longer lives are now allowing things like cancer and Alzheimers, things that build up over time, to start killing us.

The restaurant that we frequent back home, the one that we go to the most, was just seized by the State of NY for failure to pay taxes
