Hmmm... 🤔
Ever heard of the lightning network?
Now I haven't really watched Star Wars nor engaged with a lot of Star Wars media in general but my gut feeling, even as a kid, was that Star Wars is trash. I have yet to become curious enough to challenge this stubborn, unobserved, and very uninformed opinion. 🤔
Thanks, Dr. Berry. 👍
Hey nostr:npub1kyk7ac33apd7cx0nun3laevf84zfhr8pt8kj4h8v7cpx9t72d4gqkyea0g, I know someone in my life who's worried that I'll end up losing muscle on the carnivore diet once my body has utilized its stored fat. She keeps telling me to "add more calories" but I feel satisfied after my meals. That and I keep getting told that I need "other healthy proteins that aren't animal proteins." As far as I understand it, I'm getting the best and most bioavailable protein through meat I'm consuming. However, I haven't started my journey with exercise yet.
So I have a few questions. Is it necessary to exercise on carnivore to retain muscle? I believe it certainly builds muscle and requires more food as you build those muscles. But is it necessary for retention? As in, you could be somewhat sedentary and not lose muscle mass. If this is the case, what's the long term viability of not exercising on carnivore in relation to muscle retention?
Next, what can I say to the notion that I need to "add more calories" or "add in plants?" This is more of a social sort of situation. I don't really want nor think I need to do this. Especially since my body will tell me of I need to eat more aka "eat more calories" with less satiation and just still being hungry.
She believes that she's "not on a fad diet" and listens to Dr. Mindy Pelz. She thinks that she needs to eat carbs or plants for her hormones. I've watched some of Pelz's YouTube content myself and I'm a little unsure of the information she presents.
She seems like she's genuine but I also feel like she could have been mislead, confused, or wrong in some areas. God forbid she's not genuine but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. She does advocate for carnivore diets but it seems like she focuses on plant based dieting with a little bit of meat or dairy, particularly for women. She also seems to assert that diet should change as you age, at least for women in the case of hormones. It seems to me like she's supporting the idea that women need plants and more "variety" than men.
Those are only my feelings, some of my biases, and some of what I've observed. While I have gone through one of her cookbooks, most of it being plant based, I don't have your knowledge or expertise to really know for a fact if my gut feelings or right or wrong. I just get a very suspicious unsure vibe. Perhaps you've had the chance to speak with her or have ran into her content and advice. I'd like your professional opinion at the bare minimum and perhaps your person opinion depending what you determine to be appropriate, provided you even have one.
I feel like this has been an awkward series of questions that aren't all necessarily easy to answer but this is becoming a point of contention considering we see each other often and I'm still losing weight on carnivore. It's generating friction and I think I might need some help. It's very possible I could also be wrong somewhere. Thanks for your time.
Caffeine is an addictive poison meant to defeat the brains of insects, as far as I'm remembering that right. The human body is clever enough that the poison doesn't kill us immediately. Plants have defense chemicals to keep them alive and caffeine is one of them.
So basically, if you decide to indulge in coffee or caffeine, then do so in a small amount and with intentionality. Don't play with the fire of whim and don't get addicted. Do it seldom while you're young too because once you get old, I believe you won't have much wiggle room for such things. Unless you want to hasten the clock or you believe your time to be soon. That's another can of worms once you think you're close to the end of your life.
Anyways, I drank coffee regularly as a teenager and once I hit around age 20 I started having panic attacks when I crashed from caffeine. I gave up coffee and things definitely got a lot better, but not completely solved. I later discovered the carnivore diet and that pretty much solved all my mental, weight, and sleep problems.
I've known about Core Lightning's implementation of bolt 12 and some of the other ones. I just wish LND would get on with it and implement it. Same with Strike. It's on the wallets and node implementations to do it and that's the bottleneck. Well, technically the bottleneck is time, hard work, or both.
Ah, there's the bottleneck.
Seems like that's the truth. Now why hasn't Primal, for example, not supported BOLT 12 offers? Or am I blind?
Perhaps it's time for people and projects to jump ship from LND... Any recommendations?
Great question. I don't know why it's a thing. I also don't know why LND decided to pursue taproot assets on lightning over something like BOLT 12. 🤷♂️
So why are a lot of popular nostr clients only supporting LN addresses and not bolt 12 offers? Is bolt 12 still being deliberated on and is it still not ready? Or is it that bolt 12 is too bloated or just bot a good set of improvements? And what about LND? Will LND adopt bolt 12? I dunno... I'm genuinely curious, though. Because don't offers practically do what LN addresses do but in a more sovereign way?
My friends are smart but not open nor trusting enough. I talk about Bitcoin and Carnivore. They're gripped by the jaws of nutritional lies and they probably are too afraid of Bitcoin's "volatility" to get interested in it. I learned that a lot of them don't want kids and they believe in some dark future kind of thinking. They're miserable. Had these conversations last night and it was the closest and most telling moment we've all had. I kept my mouth shut for a good portion just to listen and I tried to encourage as best as I could and tell the truth in small doses. I want the best for them since they're my bros but they're caught in the spider's web, the matrix of fiat. 😔
Alright, out with the zeuspay ln address and in with the alby ln address. Zaps would never get redeemed and they would expire. I couldn't be bothered to fix the issue.
That's very unfortunate to hear. I guess in this case, those things are junk food too! 🤔
Newbie here, I need to phone a friend... I'm asking the humble US Bitcoiners and carnivores here on Nostr. Do you pay for health insurance? Is US health insurance just another useless expense created by rent seekers or is there an argument in favor for it depending on details and circumstances? Thoughts? 🤔
Man, I'm loving the intro segment on El Salvador. I guess the top down idea failed with Bitcoin. Funny because it works really well with government inflationary fiat currency. 🤔 🤷♂️
Crazy low fees alongside crazy low demand for block space right now. Perhaps now is the time to make some new lightning channels. 🤔
Fucking awesome. That guy won't even remember in 10 years time anyways.
