Yeah, sometimes it's a great kindness to people to happily accept their crap that they have a hard time getting rid of...and then getting rid of it.

Also one comment on the above video, which I just watched.
He focuses a lot on kids - which is fine. But in my experience, adults can have JUST as bad a time as kids, in terms of being locked to the screen, not being able to socialize, have a conversation.
So I think his solution - have parents band together to not give a phone to kids until a certain age - is fine, but too limited. There really has got to be better, easier ways to dramatically reduce the amount of time that people are glued to screens.
This whole thing - kids not knowing how to play, not doing what every single kid before about 50 years ago has done - has unfortunately been going on for a while in the US as well.
My kids grew up in a house in a "nice" neighborhood (great school district). It was a complete wasteland in terms of kids playing independently outside. It just didn't happen. Parent organized playdates, or nothing (i.e. solo screen time).
Korea may be worse, but just going outside of Korea will almost certainly not be good enough.
Think about a SeedSigner. I haven't tried the cold card but the SeedSigner ethos appeals to me a lot more.
Also the SeedSigner telegram community is amazing. Great people.
The covid response completely destroyed ANY trust at all that I had in the medical/pharma establishment.
Now the only people that I trust are those who, during Covid, and at great personal risk/cost, told the truth, and especially told what they were seeing as a result of the vaccine.
What is really mind-blowing to me, what I didn't understand before, is how vicious and aggressive the establishment is, towards those who undermine the narrative. The truth tellers - in other words, those who pursue real science - i.e. who question things - had their medical license taken away, etc.
This applies to the covid jab. And also in my experience, a lot of experts who got off the "climate crisis" bandwagon were also viciously cancelled and defunded. If you're a climatologist and don't believe the current narrative, you're SOL and your career is over. Younger scientists sense this, and toe the party line. So, you're NOT GETTING the truth.
I'm happy to do my own research. And especially since I've become carnivore, I see first hand how much improved my health is without carbs, and then I see the recommendations from the "experts" (eat low fat, eat high carb, avoid red meat completely) and I'm very much reinforced in my skepticism of "experts".
These types or articles used to be really interesting to me, because there was a chance I'd actually undertake the project.
Now, as a carnivore, I'm considering growing a few herbs. Some chives, on fried eggs with butter, are delicious. A few more like that (dill, parsley), if I can fairly easily grow them, would be great.
R U being sarcastic? Because in my (admittedly a while ago) experience it was the opposite. Not easy at all.
Krispy Kreme - they were the ones who had the little donut machines right out front, where you could watch
That part was cool. The actual donuts - sure, they're tasty, but sugar and flour fried in seed oil? No thank you.
And the extent to which people have gone paperless is VERY different in different countries.
For instance - between the US and Germany - Germany is far, far more paper oriented. You go to any bureaucracy in Germany, and most things are still in paper, with big file cabinets.
I'm thinking about getting a 3d printer as well, I have lots of projects in mind.
I also have the problem of getting tools, and then not using them. So here's what I figure - I'll use the makerspace nearby (with good 3d printers) 3 times. If I've done that, and am still interested, I'll get a decent 3d printer.
What causes you to not want to get the Bambu printer? I believe that's one that the makerspace nearby has. Is it too expensive? I haven't looked at costs yet.
Is there any particular protocol you're following? I've heard of the "fasting mimicking diet" which is just a little bit of food (under 300 or 500 k) daily. How many calories does this end up as? Any particular reason you're not just straight-out fasting - do you find your method easier?
Yes, but it's possible to not provide any identifying data to ppq.ai, you just have a token, and pay with lightning.
You can give them an email, but it's not necessary.
Love it! Keep us posted. It definitely fits in with the whole "digital detox" that I've been posting about regularly (I often do a complete digital detox on Sundays).
It reminds me of when I moved to a separate apartment, from a roommate house-sharing setup. I decided to have no cable TV. For the first week or so, I would look longingly at the little cable connector on the wall. And then...that longing just went away. I found other stuff to do.
I second the idea of thinking more about the harm of giving things away. People treat things with much more respect if they have to pay for it.
A side-benefit from eating carnivore - seed oils are off the menu. I eat a lot of butter, beef fat, and some lard.
Is Trump compromised? Do they have something on him, an Epstein style revelation? I know he was on the island.
He was, previously, strong on "no new wars". I didn't expect this.
I guess my expectations for politicians should never be above zero.
