I’m voting for Bobby. He’s iconic. We need a cool president. It’s about time.

I have never met a wealthy business owner who didn’t adhere to the tenets of Marxist Communism to the letter. Czar, bourgeoisie, proletariat. Ironically they all claim to believe in the free market. Free, as long as they have massive leverage.

When I read that someone shot themselves or a loved one while cleaning their firearm I simply can’t believe that this happens, in fact I think it is more accurate to replace the word cleaning with playing. Jac’s keys to handgun safety, remembering that muzzle control is irrelevant with handguns:

1. Whether a revolver or a semi-automatic pistol, never carry or handle a firearm with a round in the active chamber under the firing pin unless you are actively shooting the gun. If you aren’t in a combat situation there is not a circumstance where racking the slide or reducing capacity by one round is going to negatively influence the outcome. In fact, that fraction of a second may prevent you from causing harm unnecessarily.

2. Please refer to item number one. 😁

3. Cleaning, revolvers, clear all chambers visually, twice. DA, inspect cylinder while open. SA, rotate cylinder while viewing the front of the cylinder at a 20 degree angle from the muzzle twice.

Cleaning semi-automatics, remove magazine. Open slide and inspect chamber twice. Point in a safe direction, close the slid and pull the trigger. PUT THE LOADED MAGAZINE IN ANOTHER ROOM.

Another thought about blood pressure, athletes routinely see systolic BP levels of 220 for the duration of the exertion. Generally, for healthy individuals I think that stable systolic BP of up to 165 is not a health risk, yet medicine will recommend and prescribe pharmaceuticals with side effects readily for mildly elevated BP levels. Also, the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure is the more important metric for circulation system health, not the mean values of BP itself. The AMA is owned by big pharmaceutical companies. Just look around for the branding on your next visit to your doctor. The metrics used to diagnose disease risk are influenced by sponsorships, it’s important to keep this in mind when following recommendations from the medical complex.

I agree that vitamin D is key. Because it’s a fat soluble vitamin manufactured at the skin surface being obese makes it impossible to maintain adequate concentrations in the blood where it’s needed. The adipose tissue literally absorbs the vitamin as fast as it is produced. Blood concentration measurements and massive supplement is the only solution, something most general practitioners don’t do. In some cases it’s a feedback loop; sunscreen, low vitamin D, cancer growth, UV damage, high blood glucose, cancer grows, more sunscreen etc.

Regarding insulin resistance, I use dietary choices and time regulated food consumption. Fruit and carbs are a rare dessert like treat. I love pasta, sometimes I’ll have it for a daily meal but I know that the next day I will be exceptionally hungry for 23 hours because the glucose has been utilized leaving an insulin gap in fat metabolism. I avoid hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, and interesterified (the newest obfuscation BS from the food industry) fats, and seed oils, preferring saturated fats from natural sources like avocados, coconuts, dairy, and meat. I try to know my sources, produce meat myself when I can, buy organic even if it’s likely just marketing because the most effective voting is done with money. So far, my health seems to be holding out, and I have good wellness. I wish you good body wellness, it’s an effortful journey, but well worth the work put in to understand how our bodies function. 🫂

The refurbished hardware option might help lower initial costs.

I think that the standard values for triglycerides and HDL/LDL ratios are not appropriate for some people, and that “high” cholesterol is not proven to be any specific risk without the effects of other factors like insulin resistance and inflammation. Statins prevent the body from maintaining the cholesterol concentrations targeted, lowering average wellness as a result even though the cholesterol looks good on paper. To answer your question though, my cholesterol ratios and levels are all clinically healthy even though I often eat a dozen eggs and a ribeye with some broccoli, butter and cheese for dinner. 😁 Bottom line is if the NMR looks good, the cholesterol numbers don’t matter at all IMO.

No concerning numbers, I think cholesterol assessment without an NMR particle size analysis is not indicative of much. I have very low oxidized LDL numbers because I don’t have insulin resistance and the CRP is related to inflammation, usually caused by oxidized cholesterol cleanup by macrophages.

Controlling the narrative with AI. Yet another reason to despise Google.

Why not run Windows in a Linux VM? Better.

Muahahahahah! lol. 🫡

I eat low carb mostly carnivore diet. I’m old and I have done this for years. Recent physical, zero pharmaceuticals; BP 122/83. Blood O2 98%. Pulse 67 BPM. Sight 20/40. I might live forever, but definitely I will love forever in pieces of scattered energy. ❤️ #humanity #art

Well, anyway. 🙄

I guess I could go searching through the archives, but save me the effort? I try not to alienate or deprave any acquaintance from conversation…are we friends? Did I insult you?

Huh. Well, I don’t know who you are and I have zero influence over JPD, so….

Yep. 💯. If you find you are the smartest (or most capable) person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. Kudos. 🫂

Nope. I wouldn’t insult him by claiming to be, he does the things I wish I could do, but I am a person with substantial resources and not nearly enough know how in this space.

What would it take to mirror TikTok from a foreign source relative to the US on the NOSTR protocol? nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9

Very helpful. I’ve always preferred the AK platform to the AR, but wish there were more calibers available in the AK platform. I’ve avoided semi-automatic everything for many years preferring revolvers and lever actions for reliability reasons, but increasingly I’m thinking it’s time to have a tactical medium range and long range assault rifle and a pallet of ammo for each. Maybe .300 blackout subsonic with suppressor/thermal optics and 6.5 CM with a 6x-9x. The 6.8 cartridges are interesting no?
