(Please note this is just a rebuttle of that study and in no way aimed towards you as I believe we're on the same page with this)

It's wild how if you read the original article that they all link to, there's contradictory evidence all over.

For example, Dr Zhong whom originated the study was on record saying “However, the long-term health effects of time-restricted eating, including risk of death from any cause or cardiovascular disease, are unknown.”

The study is also biased in that it included 20k people from ONLY the U.S.

It also states people that practiced time restricted eating had a 91% higher risk of death to due to cardiovascular disease but “The study identified an association between an 8-hour eating window and cardiovascular death, this does not mean that time-restricted eating caused cardiovascular death.”

And finally, their polling audience was skewed. The only correlation they had were people that practiced time restricted eating and deaths from that same time frame per the quote "They reviewed information about dietary patterns for participants in the annual 2003-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) in comparison to data about people who died in the U.S., from 2003 through December 2019, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Death Index database."

This means they weren't properly tracking what they were eating at all, relying on the participants to self report intake, which could have easily contributed to the death. It is America after all and that entire country ranks at #10 in the world for obesity with 41% of population being classified as obese. That could potentially mean of the 20,000 participants, 8200 of them were obese.

So in conclusion, that study is dumb.

I may not wish I would have spent more time on it but I more than likely will have wished I had met and talked to more people. Talking to people, while in today’s climate being kinda shit, helps you grow as a person.

Do you have a recommendation for a web client for desktop that would offer comparable results to the Damus app? And maybe your recommendation for mobile as well?

Fascinating. Despite having sent my initial response via Primal for web, your second response(the one I’m replying to now) and Enki’s response before yours are only in my Damus mobile app and aren’t in the Primal app at all.

One thing I hope will eventually come to a nostr client is the ability to see posts you've liked.

Historically I've used that feature not necessarily to show my appreciation of a post, but as a bookmarking feature so I can go back later and find posts I found interesting or in need of further discovery when I have more time.

Optionally also just a bookmarking feature.

Did you know for the first 10 years of Crocs existence they were a basically a joke and then they got their break by being worn by everyone in the movie Idiocracy?

I'm looking to write some technical articles that help individuals set up privacy related tools. Do you have any articles that are currently published I could use as a guideline for how to best use your product?

How long will it be before insurance companies are using all of this information along with an AI analysis of said data to deny you healthcare based off of pre-existing conditions caused by your lifestyle?

And in the U.S. in particular, insurance companies are allowed to exploit every loophole possible to make and save money.

They will be able to tie the data from your driving record your car sends and the purchases you make to say you are high risk and deny you coverage.

This isn't coming soon, this is already here.

You just don't realize it's happening right before your eyes.

This is happening everywhere and we don't even realize it.

Have you ever gone to a gas station or liquor store to purchase cigarettes or alcohol and they scan your ID for age verification?

They're not just taking your date of birth. That scan provides them with all the identifiable information on the front of your ID.

That data gets tied to that purchase and then sold off to the highest bidder, more than likely an insurance company who will then raise health care premiums based off of how much alcohol you consume or how many packs of cigarettes you buy.

As most of us know, our privacy has slowly been taken away from us bit by bit for decades.

In this article, they explain how a mans car insurance premiums went up by 21% because his car was sending telemetry data back to the auto manufacturer, whom was then selling it to LexisNexis. The car insurance companies are then purchasing this no-context information from LexisNexis and using it to raise car insurance premiums of drivers.

It will not stop here. This is just the beginning.

We are at war for our privacy and we are losing this battle every step of the way.

Proton chat app when?

It was damn near the plot of V for Vendetta.

Modern day technology is unparalleled.

Lots of good information in here. If you're a daily drive Linux, I highly recommend checking this out and making sure you know the in's and out's of your system.

Unlike MacOS and Windows, Linux does not inherently secure your entire system. There are many default applications and services that run that you may not need(such as CUPS) that should be shut down if you do not intend to use them.

I also recommend using this guide as a baseline for securing your Linux installs and to do more research on each section listed here to ensure you understand the full scope of what each item entails.

Usually for any type of withdrawal to fiat, you're going to run into KYC. In the U.S. especially you're unable to sell crypto and withdrawal fiat unless KYC is implemented because of capital gains tax. Government gotta get their piece of the pie. There's just no sure fire way of using an app to pull out fiat from crypto without it. Those types of exchanges get shut down almost immediately. That's why so many on here advocate for the use of BTC as a currency instead of swapping back and forth to fiat. Swapping back and forth to fiat eliminates the point of BTC as a whole.

So melatonin is supposed to be naturally produced when the sun goes down. So the best time to take melatonin is right at dusk and not before you lay down. When you take it at dusk it helps kickstart the body wind down period. Thats what I’ve read and have practiced at least.

So true.

This has happened to me religiously for years now. The only thing I’ve figured out that works is I sleep with headphones in and listen to an audiobook of Snow Crash at a low volume. It’s like being read a bed time story. Also try taking magnesium glycinate. At least 400mg. Will help your body relax and improve quality of sleep.

Hell yes. Words to live by.

gm and happy Friday.
