The time travel thing kind of kills it for me. Open to a lot of things, but time is just a measure of movement.
Not really enough info the make an educated guess on, but I've seen this sort of thing in others- I've lost a lost of weight, but many friends and family members supposedly tried things similar to what I have done and have gone nowhere.
I suspect a few things- eating too frequently. I settled into eating around twice a day. Basically, I could just eat meat for a few days, eventually the cravings die down, and then it's like a game: am I hungry yet? How long can I go with out food here?
If you think you have to have breakfast- or worse, like my brother, decide to eat small meals 5 or 6 times a day- when does your body have time to burn what you've got around your waist?
Additionally, these foods often do have more calories than the foods we are replacing them with. Carbs are like 4 per gram, whereas Fat is 9 per gram. The expectation is that the satiation will be so high that you'll actually eat less. This does happens, but it can be defeated easily- so much so that I do not think nuts are a good diet food. Way too easy to overeat them. Also there was this trend to add fats to meals that really didn't need them- again probably a bad idea.
And then there's this whole issue of cheating. We are all going to cheat sometime. I would generally treat myself to ice cream or something after seeing the number on the scale going doing. This was somewhere between once or twice a week. I didn't know at the time, but have since seen some information that suggests this could reset some of the metabolic pathways, so that continued fat loss is possible.
Many more arcane points I could include here- like buy the expensive ice cream with ingredients your great-grandparents would recognize as actually belonging in ice cream- but this is kind of just a shot in the dark here anyway and probably too long for iris.
Why did nostr app devs not put in the J/K keyboard shortcuts?
I don't want to complain, but I keep hitting J, only to have nothing happen. I am not even doing it consciously.
Gliadin is the wheat protein few people talk about, but it acts on the opiod receptors. I think this is why so many people say they can't give up their bread.
I like to think he is actually Japanese. Very smart people in Japan, but the society is very conformist. So use a pseudonym and go dark at some point to avoid the pressure points of society. Let the work speak for itself.
Jack, why are you involved in all this? It is more difficult to imagine why you do what you do than what any random dude does what he does.
Right now, I don't think anything has been deployed where they can say they've been successful. Orient it right back at people, help those people become successful, and they can start claiming success. If it could, for instance, massively improve my comprehension of Japanese- then they could make some claims. Maybe even create lucrative products. Right now I'm not seeing enough value to justify all the infrastructure these models are run on.
Nature's multivitamin.
Yeah, I was going to say this is 1st thing you need to clear up if you want any traction on here.
He did say that, but I think he has realized how dumb that was as the lockdowns happened. In any case, I don't plan on voting and I seriously doubt they'll let RFK anywhere near the nomination.
This is not equivalent. I've heard women talk about men's asses, thighs, and biceps, which would be more equivalent than just jumping straight to what's normally under cover. Both sexes usually decide whether or not someone is attractive well before anyone takes off their clothes. Although, I tend to agree identifying oneself as an "x" guy or "y" man is a little weird.
Gain of function research on corona virus seems particularly demented, since every attempt to make a vaccine failed. So even if you were crazy enough to think bioweapons should be made, you would avoid corona virus and pick something we had a good track record creating vaccines for. Presumably there's some group of people you want to reliably vaccinate-before you unleash the bioweapon. But this research seems completely nuts. #grownostr
No. It is an accounting trick, and they assume they can get away with it. Create an 'asset' to balance out any liabilities on the books. Based on how fiat already 'works', just more blatant.
They don't tip in Japan, and I think I'd like their system better. The employees are (hopefully) getting a decent wage, and the customers know what stuff is going to cost beforehand.
John C. Davorak has talked about a program that could track company email and find people with hidden potential. The company could then promote from within its ranks. But obviously, this died as wokeness rose. If we could do a similar thing on nostr, it could be epic. That email program was decades ago, and there wasn't bitcoin, lightning, or nostr. If we could do it now with nostr, we could hope for things normally only referenced in a fedpost. #grownostr
If I were judge, I'd require old Craigy boy to move the 1st bitcoin.
Trying plebstr. Layout is pretty good. Hashtags don't seem to work yet. And it seems like when search for stuff, I get stuck on the search page and have to close the app and then open it again to get back to timeline or the global feed.
I think Cernovich is GenX, but you are right. This isn't a credible argument. Obviously we'll be wrong about some of these sudden deaths- they are hiding the damn data! But the narrative pushers were taking people who died of accidents and saying they died of COVID. From a rhetorical standpoint, we've got every right to point out every 'died suddenly' until they admit at least some of these deaths are due to the vaccine.
I just had a random thought, because I saw some game someone was promoting to win sats. What if there was a poker game where the first hand was something you could literally just make up- the catch being every card that appeared twice in the first round would disappear. Then everyone would have to draw random cards from the rest of the deck. Would it be interesting- especially for poker players? I'm trying to think of what a skilled poker player would pick in such a game, since creating the ultimate hand is an obvious temptation, but one likely to backfire- since other players are likely to pick those too.
Well, for my dad, it's cognitive issues too. He needs a system with no password, where he can just get in there and play, and possibly with some sort of algorithm that calibrates itself to his response time- slow it down enough so he can play, but not enough so that it's too easy and boring. If it could keep him just at the edge of his current capacity, perhaps he'd get better or at least not decline anymore.
