Very interesting story.

My husband, who doesn’t believe in Bitcoin,🤦🏻‍♀️ refused to lend me some money until I resolve the Chase issue. He said:
“Sell some Bitcoin if you really need cash. You put yourself in this situation…get yourself out of it.”

"lend me some money"?

Separate finances...not a good sign.

Nice! Left a review.

Check out the book Other Losses: An Investigation into the Mass Deaths of German Prisoners at the Hands of the French and Americans after World War II

More than 1 million disarmed German soldiers were killed in concentration camps, after WW2. There was one just outside of the town that my father was born in.

Here's a blurb from a review on Amazon.

Bacque shows us secret orders such as the one issued by Eisenhower on March 10, 1945 which created the new classification of DEF (Disarmed Enemy Forces). Unlike the POW (Prisoner Of War) classification Germans prisoners classified as DEFs would have no protection under the Geneva convention. The German government would be responsible for feeding German prisoners with the DEF classification even though Eisenhower knew full well that after May 8, 1945 there would be no German government. But the orders went even further. German civilians were forbidden to bring food or clothing to the camp inmates on pain of being shot and Bacque provides us the exact public notice which was posted for this.

Not only did Eisenhower and some of his subordinates (Hughes, etc.) carry out this atrocity but they made sure that it stayed secret for more than forty years. By using bland, euphemistic terms such as Other Losses in official Army reports they could cover up their war crimes. Very few people ever challenged them on it. Journalists were for the most part happy to go along with the party line and so the greatest war crime in American history lay undisturbed for James Bacque to find in the 1980's, more than 40 years later.

Reading these accounts is all so horrible. To think that we have been looking up to and honoring people like Eisenhower, Roosevelt, and Marshall all these years who now turn out to be war criminals just turns my stomach. And just like Uncle Joe Stalin, they all got away with these crimes. Not a single one of them was ever punished for what they did. What I cannot understand is why there was not an out-and-out revolt by the lower ranking American officers and enlisted men to protest this mass murder. This is certainly not the greatest generation of Americans, not if they participated in mass murder like this. Bacque's book should puncture any illusion you may have about World War II being the "Good War". All wars are nasty and total wars are even more nasty than usual. Our war "leaders" don't think twice about lying to us and misleading us in order to build up their own egos.

Ah, now that's a good one.

You can watch this video, and not think that the whole thing was staged?

For code, I think Claude is best.

Consider switching to http://ppq.ai. You can Pay Per Query (pay only for what you use), you can also use really cheap models like Deep Seek until you to need the higher quality of Gemini or Claude.

AND you can pay in bitcoin with lightning, for a 5% discount!

I think that's the reason it sounds appealing - it's not just the diet, it's also the community, being outdoors, having a balanced life. Sounds great.

Too bad it appears to mostly be based on pension fraud.

Dang. I hope they just finagled the date of death, and their offspring didn't ... off them.

Humbug, fraud, fad, nonsense - and yet still the average person who's health conscious hasn't heard nothing of that angle. They still believe there's the magical communities of people who live forever mostly because they eat the right plants and strictly limit meat.

Heck, that was me maybe 5 years ago.

Follow the incentives, right?

They specifically said fibre needs?

Singapore authorities have set a 10) goal / target to produce 20% of the citizens’ fibre needs by 2035

That seems a little odd. Because fiber isn't an essential nutrient.

Thanks. I just want to figure out if there's anyone out there before I buy devices.

any way to figure out if, in your area, people are already doing this?

The Okinawans are part of the whole "Blue Zones" myth. The Blue Zones theory states that there are some groups of people that are very long-lived myth because they eat lots of vegetables and little meat (among other traits). The Okinawans are one, certain areas of Costa Rica, Sicily, etc.

I'm planning a post on this. Basically, it was mostly their children hiding the deaths of the parents to keep collecting a pension check. There's lots of info about this fraud, but the mainstream media hasn't published it, because it doesn't fit the whole pro-plant narrative.

The info I have comes from Dr. Ken Berry. He has a video on this very topic. Basically - do you have to eat the very expensive, boutique, grass-fed, grass-finished meats in order to get benefit.

And the answer, he says, is NO, absolutely not. You can eat the cheaper stuff, like hot dogs and bologna, if that's all you can afford, and will still get similar or the same benefits.

I really like Ken Berry. There's a lot of carnivores pushing the really expensive organic meats as superior. Ken Berry is explicitly not doing that, he's telling people that aren't necessarily wealthy how they can eat meat more cheaply.

That's not a blood test, it's a bone density test. It wasn't part of my work up, and right now I'm not particularly concerned about bone density.

Thanks for the zap!

FYI this are the lab tests that were ordered for me by Revero at LabCorp. If you want to do it yourself, there's the Own Your Labs company (https://ownyourlabs.com/, where you can order just what you want.

Ordered Items: CBC With Differential/Platelet; Comp. Metabolic Panel (14); Lipid Panel; Hemoglobin A1c; TSH; Vitamin D,
25-Hydroxy; C-Reactive Protein, Cardiac; Insulin; Venipuncture

Don't just get the standard labs that a standard doctor will do for you. They'll skip essential things that you need. They basically ignore metabolic health until you're in full-fledged diabetes. But there's a lot of things that happen before diabetes, and you're far better off addressing it early.

You might want to take a look at a book by Dr. Ken Berry (formerly keto, now big advocate of carnivore, has a lot of youtube videos)

The title is Common Sense Labs: A Practical Guide to Decoding Your Blood Work and Taking Control of Your Health.

Personally I did the blood tests that the company Revero (founded by Dr. Shawn Baker, famous carnivore doctor, also has lots of videos) does.

Everything, according to them, was outstanding EXCEPT my cholesterol, which was high, as it is with most carnivores. But since I don't believe that high cholesterol is bad, I'm fine with that.

Revero is in a funny place with the whole high cholesterol thing. They basically will not tell you to take a statin, but they also don't tell you high cholesterol is fine. They'd probably get hauled up for medical malpractice if they told you that.

But based on the reading I've done, high cholesterol (especially if all your other blood markers are great) is not a problem.

I was probably the same about a low-carb/keto diet, years ago. I don't remember much about when/where I heard about it, but I do remember thinking that avoiding those whole grains was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard.

Then as I got into Bitcoin, and realized that Carnivore was a big thing in the bitcoin world, I became more open.
