Nostr is too fringe and esoteric for me now. And accepting that sucks. I really love learning, joy, and solitude so that’s why I’ve been here for years.

There’s been a level of cavalier attitude lately thats privileged based, fanciful, and increasingly out of step with real-world consequences.

I’d shake hands with and hug at least 10 people here we IRL but yeah…there’s a definite line in the sand with me as of now. Bummer.

Showed my kids and our niece and nephew Sora tonight. Going to try to make an epic movie with them as characters this Summer.

Haha cute to know that you’re among the men who only think of themselves and not the actual wellbeing of a woman that puts her body at risk for you and/or the wellbeing of the children that ensue. Narcissistic people of low character are the only ones who would act in such a reprehensible way. We’re not talking about 3 or 4 baby mothers here, we’re talking dozens. Elon also owns fertility clinics and is hiring low income women to gestate his children. In addition to all of this, the fact is that all of the adults involved are all obviously mentally unstable. Nice to see the appearance of wealth is clouding your judgement.

I love the wrestle here.

Without a moral framework to guide that instinct, it can get twisted into something selfish and destructive.

Real strength IMO, isn’t in indulging every impulse but in choosing self-control for the sake of something greater….like building a family with purpose, not just spreading your genes. 🫡

love dwarf fortress, on the days I have the patience to figure out its systems

A high-temperature wet sauna operating at 200°F+ is extremely rare, as wet saunas (e.g., steam rooms) typically maintain temperatures between 90–120°F with near 100% humidity to produce steam. If a sauna is both wet (high humidity) and consistently reaches 200°F+, it would still not be entirely free from mold risk, though the risk is reduced compared to standard wet saunas. Here’s why:

- **Impact of High Temperature on Mold**:

- Temperatures above 200°F can kill many mold spores and inhibit growth on exposed surfaces during active heating. Dry heat at this level can reduce microbial loads, including fungi, as shown in studies on sterilization (e.g., 200°F for 30–60 minutes can deactivate many spores).

- However, some mold spores (e.g., *Aspergillus* or *Stachybotrys*) are heat-resistant and can survive brief exposures or remain dormant, reactivating when moisture and lower temperatures return.

- **Challenges with High Humidity**:

- A wet sauna at 200°F+ would still have high humidity to generate steam, creating a paradox. High humidity (even at elevated temperatures) promotes moisture accumulation on surfaces, in cracks, or in hidden areas like ventilation ducts or under benches. These areas may not consistently reach 200°F, allowing mold to persist.

- During cool-down periods after sauna use, temperatures drop rapidly, and lingering moisture creates ideal conditions for mold growth, negating some of the sterilizing effect of the high heat.

- **Practical Limitations**:

- **Surface and Material Issues**: Porous materials (e.g., wood) or poorly sealed grout can trap moisture, fostering mold even in high-temperature environments. Hidden areas may not reach sterilizing temperatures.

- **Ventilation**: Inadequate airflow can trap humid air, increasing mold risk. Even with high heat, ventilation is critical to remove moisture.

- **Maintenance**: Without regular cleaning and drying, mold can establish itself in areas where moisture persists, especially if the sauna is used intermittently.

- **Comparison to Dry Saunas**:

- Dry saunas at 200°F+ (e.g., Finnish saunas) have lower mold risk due to minimal humidity, but even they require maintenance to stay mold-free. A wet sauna at 200°F+ would face greater challenges due to the constant presence of moisture, making it less effective at preventing mold than a dry sauna.

- **Evidence**:

- While specific studies on 200°F+ wet saunas are scarce (due to their rarity), research on humid environments (e.g., *Indoor Air*, 2019) shows that high humidity consistently correlates with mold growth, even in warmer settings. Anecdotal reports from sauna maintenance professionals also highlight mold in poorly maintained steam rooms, regardless of temperature spikes.

**Conclusion**:

A wet sauna operating at 200°F+ is not entirely free from mold risk. The high temperature may reduce mold growth on exposed surfaces during active heating, but the persistent humidity, cool-down periods, and potential for moisture buildup in hidden areas still pose risks. To minimize mold:

- Use mold-resistant materials (e.g., non-porous tiles, sealed cedar).

- Ensure excellent ventilation to remove humid air.

- Clean and dry surfaces regularly, focusing on corners and drains.

- Inspect for mold signs (musty odor, discoloration) frequently.

If such a sauna exists, rigorous maintenance is essential to approach a low-risk state, but complete elimination of mold risk is unlikely due to the inherent moisture.

Wet saunas are disgusting mold traps.

Stick with IR. 🔴

1. Turn on IR sauna.

2. Take ozonated activated charcoal.

3. Hop in after 30 minutes.

4. Stay in for 20-30 mins.

Shoot for >165F over time, 2-3 times a week.

I'm getting tired of all this "winning."

Not enough people are talking about the fact that if the US has massive tariffs with other countries, there's always another country waiting to give them a hug be that rebound boyfriend after they've been dumped: China.

There's just a few countries left that have more trade with us than China and with the tariffs it will probably end up being just us and hopefully Canada and Mexico.
