What is more important? Fasting insulin or C-peptide?
I will add that the Scriptures do not consider "bee poop" (honey) to be always bad either; though it does speak against its overconsumption -- just like booze.
Of course, for the sake of optimal health and to avoid being a slave to fleshly appetites, it's best to keep those things out of one's diet for the vast majority of the time.
Thank you.
I will add that this is the same concern I have regarding Bitcoin vs. Monero. Decentralization is not always king; sometimes it must be coupled with its queen mother, Privacy.
I like Nostr a lot.
But I think it’s important to remember that its censorship resistance does not necessarily go hand in hand with #privacy.
If our identities are known on Nostr, then “they” can see what we posted years ago (problem: sometimes we change our views, or we say stupid things that can be taken wrongly, or say things out loud that we shouldn’t). And Nostr is also a fine way to create a social graph of people — to see who’s connected to whom.
So wouldn’t it be wisest to have at least two different Nostr IDs? One for the public, and one that’s anonymous for more personal things we’d rather keep private? Otherwise, everything we say will indeed be part of our “permanent record” — something we don’t like when the government does it.
For instance, one might have all sorts of things to say in opposition to Crooked H., Barack Hussein, Brandon, and Commie-la — but would that person want all that tied to his name if it can all be used against him?
Am I thinking about this correctly?
I like aliceandbob.io.
I'm good with that, but I also know there are plenty who haven't changed their tune -- who would do the same thing again next time. They do whatever their bosses or their government or their TVs tell them to do.
This is unrelated (sorry), but awhile back when you posted here to stop snacking, just reading those words helped me. Even though I already know not to.
I think there is a legitimate place for snack shaming.
I'd say the faggot cavemen are the ones who spent time cutting the fat off their meat. The real men left the fat on -- which aided in the cooking.
I frequently make my own tallow and lard, and I use them all the time.
Get that fat in ya! 😋 🍴
While not ideal, what i'm saying works. My brother and I do it.
We have 1 group chat together with 4 profiles: 2 of them are our phone profiles, and 2 are our desktop profiles. That way, whether one or both of us are switching between phone and desktop, we never miss a message.
So if you wanted, you could just read the messages on your phone, but then type replies from your desktop.
It's an awkward workaround, but it works for my purposes.
My "solution" is to have separate profiles on desktop and phone.
If there's someone you really want to talk to on both devices, create a group chat that includes him and your phone and desktop profiles.
If God were to revise the Ten Commandments so that even politicians could understand them, he would write, "You shall not misspeak."
Butter, lard, beef tallow, or bacon grease! Never olive oil!
Vegan farts are especially rancid and putrid compared to the rare carnivore fart, which smells more like a quick summer breeze.
No.
Bitcoin is not our Savior.
From a monetary perspective, Monero (XMR) is what we should use now, and for sure what we will want to use during political upheavels.
I remember donating Monero to the Canadian truckers a few years back. I did so happily and at peace, while others had their bank accounts frozen and their BTC accounts blacklisted. Monero does what Bitcoin does, except it's faster, cheaper, and completely private.
Anyone can see your BTC activity. Not cool.
If you, nostr:nprofile1qqstzt0wugc7sklvr8e7fcl7ukyn63ym3ns4nmf2mnk0vqnz4l9x65qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqguwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxumm5d4skuerpw3hhy7fwdaexwqgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghx66tyv3kxjmn89ekhjerwwvhx5uq9ezhgl, send me your BTC address, and can see what you have and where you sent it.
Send me your XMR address, and I can see nothing. (I would send you a dollar, however, so you can see how fast and smooth and cheap it is to send.)

Private digital communication through #encryption should be standard practice. It should be the default setting.
Whether we "delete" them or not, all SMS text messages are stored indefinitely and are able to be retrieved by others outside of your control. And how many times have we heard of people in the news getting in trouble after authorities comb through their email records?
Many claim they have nothing to hide -- that they aren't doing anything wrong. But having nothing to hide doesn't mean we have no right to privacy; and even though we may not be doing anything wrong, that doesn't mean others would agree (think in terms of certain "women's healthcare clinics," or supporting certain political candidates, or being at a certain place at a certain time that's perceived as a national threat, or using "suspicious" forms of cryptocurrency, or having any alleged "hatred" or "phobia," etc.
If a person lives in a society where there is freedom of speech, no one can guarantee those freedoms will always exist in the same way. Government regimes change over time, sometimes quickly.
If Alice wants to let Bob know she can't make it to dinner because the political or church meeting she's attending is running late, then she may not wish to broadcast that to the world. She may not want that on her permanent digital record, either. Her political or religious views may even change later. She has that right -- the right to #privacy.
We already have user-friendly tools for private digital communications. We should be using them regularly.
For example, here are just some of the ways a person can reach out to me with a reasonable assurance of privacy: https://tips.hushline.app/to/darren
Just now checked in for my annual physical checkup -- though it's been several years for me.
I couldn't help but notice that the check-in desk, where the snacking receptionists are, is littered with bags of candy and Doritos and cans of Coke.
This artistic rendition of a real photo comes from my 3-year-old goddaughter. It is entitled "Mr. Darren Holding a Watermelon."
