If your mitochondrial health sucks, your energy levels will suck & your life will likely suck.

We evolved with mitochondria for a good reason. To support our energy needs as human beings we NEED mitochondria for the effective production of energy.

Unhealthy mitochondria = Unhealthy person.

Methylene Blue is one of the RARE few non-food substances on the planet, that works directly on your mitochondria.

DYOR. More coming soon.

I usually feel awful after flying long distances. Some people travel well, and that’s not really me.

I usually can’t sleep much on a plane, even in business class, so I forcibly skip a whole night of sleep basically, and end up with a headache and full body aches.

Over the years I’ve picked up some techniques to minimize it, but clearly not enough (travel for me used to be “hellish” and now it’s much improved to just “awful”).

What do ya’ll do to minimize the negative impact when traveling?

I posted last week about how fast the number of users on Nostr was growing and had a bunch of clarifications to the number I pulled from Primal, essential saying the number was too high.

Been thinking about this problem/opportunity all week.

1) I understand that it is really hard to get accurate numbers in a protocol like this - similar to how lightning growth is difficult to accurately gauge. (But are we making the problem worse by fighting over the number - that we can’t know?)

2) We all know and take for granted that the other bird app wildly overstates their users because it leads to more users. We know this from the court docs on a) Elon transaction, b) Elon constant drumbeat on “how fast it’s growing” c) our own user experience - ie - engagement per # connections (followers) is much higher here d) All of the bots and scams needed the reply to posts on x.

And here’s the thing - it is going to get far worse on X. I still pop in on X to see what’s going on (even though I rarely post) and besides all of the bots and noise, now most of what you see is AI driven clickbait to “win” more followers, drowning out some of the great voices I used to find there. Searching for real content is becoming increasingly difficult.

3) I suspect many of the early users here are early adopters in other areas of their lives. They could see the risks of the other centralized services and/or they wanted to be on the leading edge of something far better.

That being said, a core driver for the majority is that they feel comfort in “what everyone else is doing” meaning that a) if they think Nostr is stagnant (because people here are more honest/critical with real #’s) while b) X is growing (because of “marketing” - I wanted to use a different name for it but stopped short) then c) they will stay for longer on X, because they won’t investigate what you already know…….this is a far better experience, that is getting better every day. (While the competitor(s) are getting worse)

Users and Developers are much more likely to move their valuable time and content here if they think there is a growing community of engagement (there is) versus a stagnant one.

What restaurant are you attracted to? the one with a line of people or the empty one?

Our natural biases are hard to break and for all of Elon’s faults, he sure knows how to use these triggers to drive people to do what he wants them to do.

My experience is similar. Not to single out Spain; a lot of those problems affect airlines of many Western places, at least in Europe and North America.

I was just flying WizzAir today. I think I'd prefer some old and tired flight attendants with bad inflight safety presentstion over what I got - some dudes and unhappy women full of themselves incapable of thinking with their own head, trying to micromanage everything.

Did you confirm? crypton.sh uses physical sims, ie, with a modem.

Should be fine for banking purposes so long as they accept UK numbers

Better yet, try getting into a conversation with a mindless CSR drone who tries to convince you that SMS 2FA is the most secure option over other standards. Also, if your phone number ever gets put into a proprietary database of VoIP numbers, that somehow makes your whole account suspicious as a fraud risk, even though it's been OK for decades before. Of course, if you ask to speak with anyone there who has a clue about IT, or report actual bugs in their web apps, then that definitely makes you look suspicious. 🙄
