When cooking stuff, especially searing ie salmon of chicken in a skillet...
...why is it so hard to just stand still and do nothing until the skin releases from the pan.
I just can't... ๐
"I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion."
Boy have we strayed far from the Hippocratic Oath.
I got off coffee...
...but now I am addicted to Karigane tea and matcha.

Here is something I think about often:
If we assume that science is captured and corrupted, eapecially when it comes to nutrition...
...why do we still look at all these tables about RDAs for various nutrients?
I would assume that the lists for nutrients in foods are completely wrong and probably outdated (think nutrient depletion in top soil) and I would think that the RDAs are also wildly wrong - for example the RDA for iodine is set to just the value that prevents goiters, but many other parts of the body also need iodine, not just the thyroid, so many iodine experts actually think that FAR MORE iodine is needed (and the Japanese happen to consume up to 1000x more than what Western medicine recommends).
Why would we think that ANY RDA is accurate, except for those were a certain dose is consistently lethal.
The incentives for fraud in this field are gigantic. Tweak the RDAs for some micronutrient, claim that some new fruit or vegetable has tons of this micronutrient - boom, watch the entire Western world go crazy and buy this food. If I were to invest a fre hundred million into some plantation, I would definitely try this growth hack...

I is no longer bad for your mental health to browse X.
Absolutely insane shift in tone over there ever since Trump won.
For the first time since COVID, doomscrolling has completely stopped and now it os one giant stream of euphoria and hope for a better future.
Go check it out. It is absurd how crass the difference is.
Finally invested in a good stainless steel pan.
What the hell have I been doing all my life? Cooking is incredibly fun with that thing... ๐ฅน
Made the best mushrooms of my life the other day.
Next up: A Le Creuset dutch oven... 

Been off coffee for three weeks now. Drinking 2-3 cups of high quality Japanese tea instead (Sencha, Karigane, Gyokuro).
I feel soooooo much better, it's absurd.
This doctor is incredible:
This might be the most important health related podcast I have ever watched (also, the interviewer is super pleasant and asks really good questions).
This is what happens when you search for "Joe Rogan Trump" on Youtube.

It seems, Google is no longer in the search business, because they search truly fucking sucks.
I guess the illegal election interference business is much more lucrative, which makes sense when the entity that funds you can print unlimited money. 

No doctor ever asks you what you eat and drink what other environmental factors you are exposed to.
But it should be only the thing your doctor should be asking you.
Seems pretty damn obvious, but of course that would be very difficult and time consuming.
If you are not researching everything you can about food and nutrition, no one else is going to do it for you and you WILL be sick.

View quoted note โEven Hippocrates already knew that processed food is evil.
Can you imagine, how much more processed our modern foods are nowadays if he already deemed the crude early processing methods as too much?
It is absurd how much knowledge that has been there for literally centuries we have sacrificed on the altar of bayesian statistics and "science"...

Man. Gyokuro tea is fascinating. I cannot stomach it at the full strength (yet) at which it should be brewed (ie 8g/50ml/120-180sec), but I really really love the aftertaste.
So I tweaked it a bit: 5g/120ml/120sec and this way the first sip is much much smoother, but the epic aftertaste still remains.
The aftertaste lasts many hours for me and even survives brushing teeth ๐คฏ
Apparently this tea has more caffeine than coffee, but doesn't cause any jitters for me and also does not cause any crash after the high.

Been doing intermittent fasting (eating window 9am-4pm) for a week now. This stuff just works. I sleep much better (however, also taking Magnesium Glycinate now), wake up much more refreshed, almost never feel hungry, brain fog almost completely gone.
