Meh, it's both. Archeological records show that grain consumption was clearly destructive to human health. Everyone suddenly got a foot shorter, their skulls were smaller, & their teeth were all crooked & rotted away.

Lol, a good set of tongs sounds like a really good idea.

I'm probably retarded 😅

This bit from the end of one of Frost's poems is my favorite

And were an epitaph to be my story

I’d have a short one ready for my own.

I would have written of me on my stone:

I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.

I have a couple, it definitely helps reduce the spatter on everything else, but most of the damage to me is done when I go in to flip stuff. Bacon is particularly bad because there is a lot to flip & I have to work pretty quickly. The screens are mostly just another thing to clean & since I'm outside I mostly don't bother.

I can turn the flame up & down, & my goal is to build a replacement for the grill that gives me a lever to move the pan up & away from the heat with a single lever pull. That won't completely solve it either though because the pan still holds heat really well.

Nitrile gloves would probably be enough to prevent most of the burns. I already wear an apron. I should probably keep some safety glasses handy too though. Gonna be cooking like a mad scientist 😅

Cast iron. I still have plans to improve my setup, but I have a large single burner with a 16" pan on it sitting down inside of a grill shell under a covered area outside & I just cook out there year round now. The only days that suck are really windy days that can blow out the flame. But those are fairly rare & winters here are mild enough that it's tolerable.

I need some PPE or something though, I regularly burn myself with spattering grease. Cooked some bacon today to go with my steaks & got my hand pretty good 😑

But the sear & the flavor & lack of cleanup (aside from wiping down the grill) can't be beat.

Eliminating seed oils & sugar really does seem to make a difference in the way my skin responds to the sun. I think a lot of today's health issues are the result of many compounding missteps.

IMO it's best to start by eliminating drugs, fixing foods, fixing cookware, & then the other little things we do every day (toothpaste, soaps, moisturizers, etc) & work out from there. Many of the scents & things people use are hormone disruptors. For people who don't pay attention to these things it's death by 1000 cuts.

I mean, the 6 being a bit underpowered just means it should basically run forever. The later models had far more issues than these.

My dad had one of these, if it had been a 5speed I'd have kept it forever & just done a swap if the 6 ever gave up the ghost.

The music gave him "an incredible morning nostr" is "nostr" the kids' new slang for boner?

Was the last election stolen?

SS#s seem kinda like cattle tags for the tax livestock. Given all the propaganda around FDR & the Great depression, I can't imagine that there wasn't some form of censoship happening already. But I guess SS#s came with another layer of taxation which is its own form of censorship 🤔

IIRC he was kinda crappy when some of the "alt right" racism accusations first started getting thrown around, but he is pretty good on most things. He is against libertarian brutalism, which as far as I can tell basically just means he thinks it's okay to use coercion against anyone he deems racist & that's stupid for a lot of reasons, most importantly because it forces your enemy into hiding which is much more dangerous IMO.

He's Epstein for the music/media industry, probably among many others

Everything normies use is spyware & it's all censored in favor of govt propaganda. Govt just doesn't like tiktok because it's not censored the way they want it to be.

The price of trusting these institutions will only continue to grow. The refusal to let go of the illusion they have created is already life threatening (quite literally) for a huge number of people. The choice will ultimately be to face reality in all of its harshness, or forfeit your life.

High quality problems

It really is pretty simple. I won't follow stupid or immoral laws unless I am directly forced or coerced into doing so. And in the event that a forced compliance situtation arises I will be highly motivated to find a way to avoid that trap going forward.

Idk, seems to me there are a lot of people who try to escape the fact that they can't rationally support some belief they have by claiming it's a result of their superior emotional intelligence.

I'm not really sure that adding modifiers to intelligence really does anyone any good.

People who are overly concerned with empathy & "emotional intelligence" are generally neither empathetic nor emotionally well regulated, because the real root of both of those things is your capacity for logical analysis of your feelings & rational thought. Things that emotional people tend to shun.

I need this to be true
