Interesting - I chose to semi-retire at 50, so got the numbers working in my favor. And honestly thought my job was killing me (because of my Type-A personality that I struggle with even today). I'm still planning on living to over 100, though! 😉 And teaching tennis - mostly to a bunch of juniors that want to run me all over the court - should keep me young for awhile.

I liked several of the #memes in Robert Malone's Sunday Strip this week...

Sunday Strip: We're All Far Right Now.

Keeping the species going for "millions" of years.

Maybe stick to the butter, lard, tallow, ghee, etc? Stay away from all vegetable/canola/sunflower and other seed oils? Because overlay this chart with charts of obesity and chronic diseases, cancers, and cardiac events over the years!

Smoked some lamb shoulder for 8 hours today - we loved that herb crust! #biggreenegg #smokercooking

Break the trend…or die young with the last several years/decades of your life compromised and medicated. The solution does not come in a pill or in boxes with long ingredient lists. Whole food, move a little daily, get good sleep and step away from devices more during the day.

Since I stack sats, versus spend them, I keep very small balances in Lightning wallets...a BlueWallet that I use to zap on nostr and a Muun wallet for transacting with other bitcoiners in person (I used this one at Pacific Bitcoin). I'm interested in moving off of at least Muun, but what's the latest reviews/recommendations on mobile Lightning wallets...particularly: - Aqua (handles Lightning, on-chain, and Liquid...if I ever decided that was of interest) - Phoenix - Mutiny - BlueWallet (old, familiar standby that I also used for watch-only with ColdCard before moving to Sparrow) #asknostr #wallet #lightning

==== Leaving many of these depopulated towns essentially a crossroads with nothing but a gas station, a McDonald's, and a WalMart -- chain stores big enough to digest regulations that would bankrupt a family business. ... The solution to the decline of farming is as easy as it is in manufacturing: Get rid of the mandates, the regulations, and taxes on especially small business. ====

America's Farms are Getting Wiped Out

If you dream of escaping the cubicle and starting a farm, new data says America's farmers are getting wiped out.

I have my work cut out for me to get to my Weber grill and #biggreenegg this weekend - I was thinking of smoking a lamb shoulder!! Biggest #snow of the season in #denver

Again, Dante Cook's (Swan) Bitcoin Daily Youtube videos are a near daily routine for me. Such a concise presentation of charts, macroeconomics...with some great occasional sports references.

I need some advice because it seems I'm on the wrong side of an "unauthorized use of image" case...and they are expecting damages to be paid. Firstly, this "unauthorized" use was unintentional. Basically, I thought I had satisfied the requirements by both crediting the content creator by name (in this case, for a stock image off of Flickr) as well as providing a hyperlink to the original content in a LinkedIn article I wrote in January 2016. The image URL itself, in the post, just referenced a LinkedIn location. Secondly, is it possible for the person to change the rights and I could verify that? If I look at the original content on Flickr, it now says "All Rights Reserved". My issue is that I intentionally NEVER used those types of images. I used Wikipedia Commons, Pixabay, and all image searches were for either Free Images or perhaps "Some Rights Reserved" that allowed me to give proper attribution. These posts were all written for my employer, but under my LinkedIn ID, so I didn't have a budget to purchase any images. In all cases, I credited the original creator as well as provide a link to the original content. So, over 8 years after writing this post, I get a letter from a Pixsy Case Management saying "pay up or we send you to the attorneys for the maximum prosecution/penalty under the law"...for an image that has been viewed 3,500 times at its original location. Price to make this go away...about $1,000. That seems pretty punitive, for my very small reading audience in 2016 and the number of views that image received cumulatively since its existence in 2010. Even though I thought I was following the rules with credit/attribution/link to original content, I'm willing to pony up and pay if that is what I need to do. But is it worth pursuing to get a compromised price settlement? I don't want to fight this, get found in the wrong because I missed some small step like linking to the actual Copyright Law, and then have to pay MORE out of pocket. Thanks for any advice...thought I had checked the boxes - guess I shouud have stuck to analytics, software development, and running other consultants versus content creation. Side note - kind of handy that #bitcoin is going parabolic. Of course, I'm still not selling the bitcoin. I'll pay from savings or do the Michael Saylor method of using an equity line at 6.99% to have more funds available for bitcoin to go to ∞. #asknostr

I get annoyed with how often RFKJr "leads" with footage of his father/uncle versus himself and his views. Having said that, I've appreciated his honesty and going against the establishment for years now. He basically made most moves/statements that aligned more with career suicide than climbing the political chain. I also disagree with him on some topics - like fossil fuels, nuclear, and 2nd amendment/gun rights. But I'd easily vote for him over the other two candidates if I thought he had a legit chance of winning. I was hoping he and Trump would have done some Art of the Deal to combine tickets. Because my biggest fear in voting for him isn't in losing...it's in somehow taking a vote away from Trump and giving Biden and the extreme Left an advantage. I enjoyed RFKJr's SOTU video...

You can tell that I like chart analysis… And I appreciate these quarterly podcast on TFTC with Matthew Mezenkis... including the geopolitical commentary.

"the last time Americans spent this much of their paycheck on food, the internet did not exist, Terminator 2 was in the theaters, and Madonna was still rocking the pop charts". Americans now spending 11.4% of their income on food. Add in the theft through taxes, and that doesn't leave much money to buy a house, car, save for kids, etc.

I wasn't going to share this one because...Canada. But the numbers are show shocking as to be cartoonish. And Canada may be the worst performing economy...and plenty ahead of us in that "worst performing" category...but what a glimpse into our future. I especially dislike how Peter describes how all of these Canadian government workers are paid more than the productive workers are getting taxed to pay the government workers' salaries. We are not that far behind since our GDP growth is pretty much government workers, social services, etc.

Saladino hits a lot of points regarding optimizing sleep. We do have blackout shades, grounding pads under the sheets, Ooler systems to keep the bed temperature cool, and our bedroom is usually 58-65 degrees. We try to have our last meal by around 7p...I try to get away from blue light by 8:30-9p and read with incandescent light for about an hour.

Hmm - everything I do seems to raise LDL…I’ll take the trade offs.

These Netflix ddocumentaries are great at conveying the narrative they want while being creative with the data to support that narrative. Vegans end up deficient in several micro-nutrients, lose muscle mass…and will generally tend towards other negative health outcomes (like insulin resistance and the chronic diseases that follow) versus a whole food omnivore or carnivore.

Good Rhonda Patrick podcast on resistance training with Brad Schoenfeld. FYI, I tend to "lift heavy" on a 5 set/5 rep routine or I'll do blood flow restriction (BFR) on a 3-set structure of 30/15/15 reps. My exercise choices are pretty much intuitive (do what I feel like doing), but includes a push, a pull, a squat, and a hinge. FYI, I don't fully agree with his BFR assessment based upon my own "research of the research". Here are the timestamped topics: • (00:00) Introduction to Dr. Brad Schoenfeld • (05:26) Why should we lift weights? • (06:56) Why building bone matters • (11:33) How to lift in old age • (13:45) Why to lift while young (especially women) • (16:21) Should children lift weights? • (17:05) Does lifting stunt growth? • (19:48) How to change body composition • (27:22) Protein requirements • (29:19) How to calculate protein needs • (36:54) Protein per meal - what's the right amount? • (38:18) Does time-restricted eating undermine hypertrophy? • (43:19) Anabolic window: myths vs. reality • (46:15) Total daily protein intake • (54:49) Why aging affects muscle power (loss of type II fibers) • (57:52) Power training vs. strength • (59:20) Benefits of explosive power training (fall prevention) • (1:03:18) How to power train with plyometrics • (1:03:58) Training to failure (is it important?) • (1:09:59) Rest in between sets (is it needed?) • (1:11:12) Number of sets per week • (1:22:31) Tips for recovery • (1:33:41) Should you get sore from exercise? • (1:36:47) What can you do for soreness? (without blunting hypertrophy) • (1:40:16) Does aerobic exercise undermine resistance training? • (1:44:46) Resistance training for endurance athletes • (1:46:33) Can stretching increase muscle growth? • (1:51:06) Is yoga a type of resistance training? • (1:53:37) Blood-flow restriction training • (1:58:37) What is Brad's routine?
