Oh the irony

In so many words, this article adds to mounting evidence that repeated #mRNA #COVID vaccination reduces functional capacity of the immune system, particularly in older people.

How many more studies are needed before the recommendation of repeated (outdated) boosters is banned???

Ok fine. I give up. I am going to try Keto. Too many of you who I respect swear by it. And I've recently gotten heavy for unclear reasons. I need an emergency measure, and strict fasting erodes muscle.

I"m not worried about the saturated fat. If you can't keep those levels below about 9% of energy, then you aren't getting the cardiovascular benefit of that "trick". Once you are eating more than that, the amount doesn't matter (it is a sharp S curve). A few months of "normal" saturated fat intake is in no way going to offset the benefit of the weight loss.

I'm not worried about high protein intake. I expect to get 30% of my energy from my own body fat; I'm not replacing a 2500 kCal diet with 2500 kCal of meat... that would be mad. It is more like fasting augmented with some meat.

I'm not going strictly carnavore, but pretty close. I will have salt, papper, tea, coffee, miso soup, kimchi, metamucil.

I'm starting at 104.9 kg.

Advice and support is welcome.

From 3 years ago.

I'll spend the remainder of my career making up for the harm I did

back when I was ignorant.

Animals are pure by nature. Humans come with DNA baggage...and some have a lineage they are supposed to break free from. Some do the work, and break the pattern, others continue the pattern.

The hero we deserve!

If you could have lunch or spend the day with anyone in the world, who would it be?

A famous actor or actress?

A political ambassador or government leader?

A pornstar?

A sports athlete?

A musician?

Your best friend or a family member?

Best I got right now

You keep your heart light and look at life with wondering eyes ... Better said than done, but not impossible.

Walk without expectations...be open and vulnerable.

There needs to be a nuclear power that embraces an open internet with open finance.

Imagine a nuclear power that hosted an open #cashu mint, #fedimint, or crypto exchange that anyone in the world could access. Anyone in the world can connect to their servers. If a country like the United States requested that these servers be shut down, limit access, or that developers were extradited, the hosting country would just say "Bugger off".

Once a nuclear power hosts and defends a free internet, we are really off to the races, as it would require other countries to maintain a North Korea style firewall to contain its own citizens.

United States - 3,708 warheads

Russia - 5,977 warheads

China - 350 warheads

France - 290 warheads

United Kingdom - 190 warheads

Pakistan - 165 warheads

India - 156 warheads

Israel - 90 warheads (Israel has never publicly confirmed or denied its nuclear status)

North Korea - 60 warheads

An obvious answer here is Russia. They are already sanctioned by the west, and don't have much more to loose, and to gain, they could become the new financial center of the world.

I would think that the main hindrance here is that the nuclear country would not want it's own citizens accessing open finance.
