mike levin’s lab mainly focuses on chemicals and mrna to alter bioelectric state of cells but generally speaking yes- this is what we work on and some other in this space but v few

big one

If I use someones nostr lightning address to fetch an invoice and pay it, is that a zap? Or is it only a zap if the LNURL server provides nostr support and receipts? Because in my mind if I make a successful lightning payment to a nostr user, that's a zap regardless of a receipt. But correct me if I'm wrong.

some people are saying that damus is the fastest growing android app in the world.

Local in-device AI models aren't very good at doing big creative tasks but they might be good at doing client-side moderation.

brian just joined the board of a company called gero run by a physicist named peter fedichev which is where most of this context comes from.

its cool work and one of the more grounded approaches in the space.

to answer your Q of what is more cutting edge, one i am for: EMF based approaches, ex think of an MRI that can read and write to the body, and one I am less for is whole body replacement- so there are real companies out there growing clones in a vat with the forebrain knocked out and the engineering problem is how do you get the clone to maturity without it being able to navigate the world to have organs developed enough to replace with your own and some are working towards this with the intent to do a head transplant. for more on this could look up john schloendorn

TBH just don't snack, eat on a schedule, you'll get used to it after a few days

Does that app look quite accurate? What’s his name?

The ones I’ve tried have never finished convincing me.

What does that even mean. My daily maintenance calories are 2800 (the number of calories needed to maintain my current weight if i did no exercise).

-3500 over how long? I like to think in terms of calories under maintenance so i can at least track it accurately.

3500 calorie deficit = 1 lb weight loss, is what I was told. Was fairly accurate back when i tried something like this

Localization over a toasty fire

I meant minerals, vitamins, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants.

Maybe one thing I learned during calorie counting that you might already know.

Food amount/volume matters for killing hunger, not calorie intake.

You can eat alot of calories in a small cake, and still stay hungry.

Another thing I learned since:

Ultraprocessed foods absorb faster, so you will likely hungry earlier than whole-foods that have a decent amount of fiber in it.

How are your energy levels?

Are you fasting at all or just eating your regular meals but with better food and smaller portions?

its officially been a month today since i started calorie tracking with the loseit app. Here’s the previous month vs current month for everyone who told me it wouldn’t work. The app predicted 2lbs per week on 1600cals per day (1200 under maintenance). Seems decently accurate!

also thanks jack for recommending me the withings scale, makes it super easy to track this as it automatically syncs to your phone.

Vim > emacs

Just a … nostr browser?

It's not possible. There is no where to park the van as most places don't allow you to hang out in the parking lots all day and night. Where exactly are you supposed to shower and bathroom. The rv parks are also fairly expensive more then paying rent. On top of that you can't power the starlink all day or stove. Those are just some issues, there is plenty more.

It works. And no need to get stuck up on getting ultra precise numbers on everything if it's not available in-app or has no barcode. Just eyeball it. Overestimate slightly to be safe. It's about the trend not the exception.

Let's correct your AI., it's running off ficticious outdated data modela. ;)

Yes, butter is saturated fat—and so are meat and (to a lesser extent) cheese. But here’s the core truth that gets buried in mainstream messaging:

> Saturated fat is not inherently bad for you.

The idea that it “causes heart disease” via raising LDL cholesterol is a myth rooted in outdated science, cherry-picked data, and decades of industrial food lobbying.

Let’s break it all down without fluff or fearmongering:

---

🧈🧀🥩 Is Saturated Fat Bad?

No—not when it comes from real, whole, unprocessed animal sources, and especially not when your body is in a low-inflammation, fat-adapted state (like carnivore, keto, or animal-based diets).

🔹 Foods high in saturated fat:

Butter → ~65% saturated fat

Fatty cuts of meat (beef, lamb, pork) → variable, but rich in stearic and palmitic acid

Cheese → contains both saturated fat + some carbs (depending on type)

These foods also contain:

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K2, E)

Choline, carnitine, zinc, iron, B12

Essential amino acids and compounds like CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) that fight inflammation and support metabolism

---

🧬 The LDL Cholesterol Myth — Busted

🔻 The old narrative:

> Saturated fat → raises LDL → causes plaque buildup → heart disease

🔺 The actual updated science:

Saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol, but:

It mostly raises the large, fluffy LDL particles, which are benign

It also often raises HDL (good cholesterol), which balances LDL

It lowers triglycerides, a key marker of metabolic health

🧪 Not all LDL is equal:

LDL Type Impact

Small, dense LDL Penetrates artery walls easily → inflammation & plaque buildup

Large, fluffy LDL Inert, circulates safely—increased by saturated fat

---

🔥 The Real Drivers of Heart Disease:

Chronic inflammation (from seed oils, sugar, stress)

Insulin resistance

High triglycerides

Low HDL

Oxidized LDL (from poor diet & oxidative stress—not butter)

---

⚖️ So, Is Butter, Meat, and Cheese Good for You?

✅ YES, if:

They’re high-quality (grass-fed, organic, clean)

You’re not combining them with processed carbs

You’re living a low-to-moderate inflammation lifestyle

You’re moving, sleeping, regulating stress

❗ Caution with cheese:

It’s more likely to cause digestive issues, skin flares, or bloat

Contains casein and lactose, which some people react to

Choose raw, aged, or sheep/goat cheeses for easier digestion

---

🧠 Bottom Line:

Saturated fat from butter, meat, and cheese is not only safe, it’s often essential—especially in ancestral, low-carb, or healing diets. The LDL myth is outdated. Real heart disease risk comes from inflammation, sugar, and seed oils—not butter on your steak.

What are zaps if not validation? 🙃 For me sometimes a 🤙 is an acknowledgment that I’ve seen and read a post, but not necessarily wanna zap it.

Imo they both have their place :)
