I'm not a retarded. You're a retarded.

I remember vividly the first time my boy ate ground steak and the songs he sang for more steak. The home video helps a lot with the vivid memory part.

size matters

nailed it

Carnivore update. Bloodwork update.

This is a 2 month summary into what I'm calling my pseudo-carnivore lifestyle. Pseudo because I started adding in avocado and small servings of fermented products after week 2 as well as initiating other experiments per item 7 below.

I purchased home metering devices for blood glucose, blood lipids (cholesterol), and blood pressure. I also visited a clinic for "official" lab bloodwork.

The most interesting findings after 2 months:

1) 217 lbs down to 192.

2) all my previous lifetime of "official" lab bloodwork was normal even at my peak weight of 267 lbs; however now 2 home tests show above normal LDL levels roughly double the max normal level and increasing over time (opposite of my weight).

3) all home & lab blood glucose meter tests are in the 70s and 80s mg/dl except after some hard sprinting while fasting when my reading was 115 mg/dl.

4) couple of times before/after blood glucose readings didn't budge much at all after 1 hour of cardio.

5) glucose and LDL "official" lab work shows lower numbers than what I get on my home metering devices.

6) highest blood pressure reading was after morning coffee at 131/78.

7) experimenting "off-carnivore" last weekend with food by eating meatballs with marinara sauce on a Friday, burger with french fries on Saturday, and coleslaw on Sunday and I retained water like crazy and went from 192 to 197 lbs. Monday and Tuesday come around and I'm back to full carnivore and I'm back down to 192 lbs within 2 days.

8) bowel movements from a regular daily to a regular every 3 days - 66.6% cost savings on TP.

... blah blah blah.

69,420) Hey, James Brown, how do I feel?

Did James Harden invent the stop, pop, and flop?

Not a real thing. A recent meta-analysis has revealed that we are all at different places in our lives. In a separate meta-analysis it has been revealed that Coca-cola is indeed the real thing.

And the church said...

Am I lucky? Notice the timing of the buys all at the trough of the business cycle where incentives were high and interest rates were low.

Bought my 2nd automobile in 2019 with a 6-year 0% interest loan.

Bought my 1st house in 2013 with a 30-year 3.75% interest loan.

Bought my 1st automobile in 2009 with a low interest loan (I don't recall the rate).

I'm starting to get the itch for my 2nd house. This year or next year perhaps?

I am lucky.

Just like #covid didn't cause the last #recession, the #tradewars didn't cause this #recession. There is a lag in the cycle. The cause of this recession began at the start of the last stimulus. The cycle is the cycle no matter the #POTUS.

Tariffs are more about certain countries (China for one) winding down the usage and holding of USD (in global trade including oil) than manufacturing. USA needs to export more USD (pay more for imports).

Can you feel that trickle down in the air?

This trickle down stuff doesn't feel so good.

Sometimes freedom means letting go.

Did you know that fiber optic cables can be used as a microphone?

Politics is an important realm of existential proportions. Politics mediates the all-or-nothing attitudes on many different topics around the globe throughout all of human history.

I once saw a CEO proudly say he didn't care for politics and didn't use them in his assention or reign blah blah.

The political realm exists. It's not all bad or all good (notice the absence of the all-or-nothing attitude). No one can unsubscribe from politics when more than one human is involved. Simply impossible (excluding beliefs).

Don't try to fix the politics. Many times it's simply a swarm of all-or-nothing attitudes. Fix your all-or-nothing attitude.

Sometimes maximum #freedom is letting go. It's all a relative spectrum.

Sometimes #freedom means letting go.

Allen Iverson is the one and only #AI. No one is talking about this.

A bunch of rhetorical questions.

Can I MANDATE higher import #tarrifs and CLAIM trickle down will benefit all?

How about ACTIONS instead of CLAIMS?

Actions ARE still more reliable than claims, right?

Why not start with a pari passu (compared to import tarrifs) hike to the #federalminimumwage since that thing seems to be stuck in the past?

My gosh haven't these bureaucrats read the book "Forty Centuries of Wage and Price Controls: How Not to Fight Inflation?"

Trickle down. Trickle down. Who wants some trickle down. Get it while it's hot. Hot & fresh trickle down.

I see it as current digital world uses current digital world bitcoin. 1 to 1.

So in a quantum world it would be quantum bitcoin. 1 to 1.

Anyone talking about Bitcoin being worthless in a quantum world is essentially saying someone is going to steal your bitcoin. That would be very very illegal. I can think of a bunch of other illegal quantum leveraged games to play to do mean and illegal things to nice people.
