Improve Your Health by Eating Less Often

Fasting to improve mental function, reduce joint pain, improve physical strength & stamina, to break free of bad habits & to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Long duration water fasting has amazing health benefits that I want you to know about now! 

Fasting can lower your blood pressure. Fasting can cure Type II diabetes. Fasting can help you recover from cancer. Fasting can improve mental function. Fasting reduces brain fog. 

Fasting can solve a lot of problems with health that originate in the gut, from chronic over-eating, eating the wrong things too often, eating too much, not giving your digestive system a break.

Eat Less Often, Skip Meals Deliberately, Listen to your body more
Give you digestive system a break for a few days & just drink water

Make the last meal of your day smaller, so you can digest it fully before going to sleep! Skip breakfast the next day to try interval fasting & keep that up for a while to give it an honest try. Most people who start interval fasting notice they feel a lot better, loose body weight, burn stubborn fat away from their tummies & experience what looks & feels like a tummy tuck, naturally! Their skin & eyes become more radiant, their energy levels & mental energy & focus & memory start to improve. 

Radical health benefits of fasting were talked about by Plato back then, seemly lost in the noise of modern culture. Fasting as powerful as the Law of Attraction! 

Insulin, Insulin, Insulin, its Chronically Elevated Insulin levels from too many meals, too often, never taking a break from food, from eating all the time due to boredom or because we think its time to eat or eating when we are not actually hungry, eating when we are actually thirsty. Modern society has tricked you into eating for any reason, even if eating does not make metabolic or physiological sense logically. Medical doctors who empower their patient to do long duration fasting observe radical health improvement that cannot be achieved any other way. 

Fasting lowers blood insulin levels, which allows the arteries & veins to dilate correctly with a nitrous oxide response, which means lower blood pressure. If we constantly eat food, our insulin levels stay elevated constantly & if this is continued it can cause insulin resistance. 

This is why fasting, specifically long duration water fasting acts like a reset switch; because not eating for 8 days gives your digestive system & break & puts your body into amino acid recycling & clean up modes. Fasting activates survival genes & exploits epigenetic stabilization & the unlocking of parts of the DNA that produce healing enzymes. MTOR activation goes down & AMPK levels rise, thereby increasing NAD levels. Inflammation levels start decreasing. Blood pressure goes down to the point where anti-hypertension drugs must be discontinued.

Start by skipping a meal or not eating unless you are actually hungry. You are not your habits, you have absolutely free will & agency to control what goes into your mouth & when you choose to eat or not. A lot of people eat because they are bored, they snack because they have a bad habit, not because they actually need food. Our brains have been dopamine tuned to instant gratification by a society of overabundant access to cheap food calories all the time. 

The official 3 means per day advice is absolutely scientifically false, its fake news or lies or misinformation or disinformation. Skip breakfast or skip dinner or skip both & eat one meal per day at lunch. Interval fasting a great way to try fasting to observe the benefits of a longer duration annual fast for 4+ days. I am at 25 hours of fasting now, just black coffee, neat tea with nothing added, water & a touch of lime juice in my tea, but no food. 

Consider the water content of your food. A lot of people are not only dehydrated from not drinking enough water, but they eat overcooked foods low in water content that are hard to digest. 

Consider the 4 states of Metabolism

Intake or Consumption of Foods, where you have control

Digestion Automatic

Assimilation Automatic

Excretion Automatic 

The only stage of your bodies intake that you control is the eating & drinking part, when & what you are putting into your body. 

Fasting gives your digestive system a break, something people with digestive disorders really need to consider doing. Water fasting keeps your system hydrated while you are not eating foods. If you have to eat something, some bone broth of a small amount of fruit ok. I added the juice of half a key-lime to my tea, at the 24 hour fasting mark & plan to continue fasting for 7-8 days. 

Fasting improve mental function & can be used to treat Alzheimer & Dementia, ADD & ADHD in adults. 

Since the time of Plato he was writing about how fasting from food for 24+ hours improve mental alertness, mental stamina, focus, memory function & executive functional improvements to the brain & mind that enable people to have clearer sharper thinking without mental fog. 

Fasting increasing your endurance, stamina, drive, energy levels & motivation. The body activates all kinds of cool biochemical pathways to enhance our mind & body during fasting.

Careful to eat a light easy to digest meal when you stop fasting, like a small bowl of veggie soup. Then let your body assimilate that. Slowly increase meal complexity as you phase back into eating consumption, but continue to think about interval fasting, drinking enough water to stay well hydrated, going to be earlier & waking up earlier. Think about who you are, how you are operating! 

Your are not a slave to your habits, you can break free and fasting can help you understand this free will agency & your ability to break free of habits. You're not a slave to your lifestyle. I have cooked meals & gone grocery shopping while fasting for 4+ days. You contain a consciousness that has unlimited potential that you're probably not readily aware of yet. Fasting can help you introspectively think about your life & persona & who you are becoming, so that you can be unleashed to make better diet choices, better lifestyle choices, so that you can become a smarter, kinder, more loving, more intelligent & higher functioning version of yourself! 

Cardiologist Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has excellent YouTube videos to explain why fasting important, the amazing benefits of long duration water fasting;

I want to expand my experience with 3 day water fasting from Monday Nov 28th at 9:30am to December Thursday December 1st at 10am. 

I drank a lot of water, took sea salt 1/4 tsp at a time to restore Na loss from drinking 5 liters of water daily

Pee, pee, pee, all day, all night on the hour, every hour, sometimes even more. Amazing what the funky smelling stuff smelled like coming out in my urine. 

By the middle of day 3 on Wed evening, I was experiencing toxic shock from electrolyte imbalance & because I went cold turkey into a 3 day fast without going ketogenic diet first. I had been skipping breakfast for several months, but was also eating "Fun Size" commercial candies, probably 3-8 per day, so not a huge dose, but I was so addicted that even on my lowest days I consumed a fun size Hershey milk chocolate. I know the net carbs & sugar amounts are low, but I had also regressed to eating bread, noodles, pasta, rice & other carbs, like a beer periodically, G&T in the evenings, the Q-tonic tonic water has 11 grams of sugar, though I enjoyed the light version with only 8 grams & ran out of that one first. I stopped drinking any form of alcohol 5 days before fasting. On the Monday morning I started fasting, I ate a banana with my b-vitamin, multi-vitamin, D3 capsule, 1 g metformin, 20mg lisinopril, and 16 oz of water, then went to work & never ate anything solid or took any vitamins or medications. Day 1 was great, never felt hungry. Day two I had food cravings, dreaming of candy & baked goods like baklava & danishes & jellies & other sugar sweet desire items like spumoni ice-cream that I absolutely love the flavor of, even though I know the sugar bad for me as a pre-diabetic person on the border of Type II diabetes. 

My interval fasting for several months leading up to the 3 day water fast consisted of skipping breakfast, with just black coffee or a tiny dash of while milk into the coffee or espresso. I had been waking at 3 or 4 am naturally for work, where I have to be to work at 6am after driving a considerable distance down I90 & I405 in western Washington. I would wait until 2 pm to eat lunch & typically at dinner at 6:30 pm & nothing after that. I had learned about interval fasting on Fastiq app on my iPhone, a few years ago whole researching the scientific benefits of interval fasting & longer water fasts. I found Pradip Jamnadas on Youtube & his videos combined with what I was learning from the pro paid version of the Fastiq app for iPhone were reinforcing lessons about why ketogenic fat burning states of metabolic energy production help to kick off cell recycling known as autophagy. 

So what is Autophagy, its where your body consumes old broken mitochondria, lysomes, the organelles of cells, the old broken parts, to make ketones & to gather amino acid precursor ingredients to make new mitochondria & other organelles. The easiest way to access autophagy cell cleanup & repair modes that you body has the DNA & epigenetic instructions to accomplish, by interval fasting for 18 hours per day, followed by an 8 hour eating window. To start easily interval fasting, skip breakfast or dinner. Lunch will be your most important meal. To avoid malnutrition, your lunch must contain the bulk of your calories & nutrients, I am talking about your carbs, fats & proteins in grams per day + vitamins & minerals your body needs. It's also very important to drink 2-3 liters of clean sanitary water per day to stay well hydrated. 

Let's say to start fasting your stop eating breakfast & wait until lunch to eat for the first time during the day. That would mean that from the time you finished digesting dinner yesterday +2.5-3 hours after eating, if you ate a responsible serving about the size of what you can hold in both hands forming a ball or your fist size, then your body will be done digesting & starting to assimilate dinner. After 5 hours, your body will start producing small amounts of ketones in your liver. By+ 10 hours after dinner the preconditions for autophagy are starting. By +15 hours your body producing trace amounts of ketones which you can test in your urine with ketone test strips purchased at your local drug store or pharmacy. At +15 hours your body starting some autophagy cell clean up & recycling & waste collection processes. This is part of why someones urine looks darker in the morning. If you skip breakfast & wait until lunch to eat, you will have been fasting for 16-18 hours or so. 

My sister found that skipping dinner was the key to loosing body weight & feeling better. Depends on your schedule & sleep wake cycle. I am a lark, wake up early & go to bed early. So eating lunch at 2 pm & dinner at 6:30-7pm, works for me, since I tend to go to bed by 7:45-9pm then wake up at 3-5 am naturally without an alarm clock. I often wake up to pee in the middle of the night, since I drink so much water during the day that my body constantly dumping water. If I eat carbs I pee less, but feel more painful inflammation & soreness in my joints, and retain fluids & feel bloated & tired more often. This is why I started taking Metformin in the first place. Eating like a typical American, I gave myself Type II diabetes & Hypertension, something that's part of metabolic syndrome from abusing simple carbs & sugar, beer, pop, candy, ice cream, bread, rice, pasta & other white flour based foods that are easily converted to blood sugar increasing after being quickly digested. Jason Fung a nephrologist from Canada has these cool YouTube videos about how the metabolism works. Dr. Annette Bosworth also has similar content about digestion & ketogenic diets & how interval fasting or skipping meals can help people with diabetes.

If you take insulin, Novolog, Humalog, Lantus, short or long acting, and want to fast, you can. In a book about fasting for Type 1 diabetes, the endocrinologist doctor authors suggest the following. 

Short acting insulin, stop taking it while fasting or you will go hypoglycemic & have a possibly fatal low blood sugar. 

Long acting insulin, cut the dose in half, then slowly reduce the dose every day as you continue fasting. 

If you take oral diabetes medications, do not take them on days that you are fasting, since they can cause a dangerous of fatal blood glucose drop or low or hypoglycemia. 

Super important. Use a Dexcom or similar CGM continual blood glucose monitoring system to keep an eye on your blood glucose levels while fasting. Check every 30 minutes all day long to see how your body is responding to ketosis & autophagy as you continue drinking water & taking salt to abate electrolyte imbalance that can cause a nasty frontal diffusion headache, lethargy & worse if your Na levels go too low. As your body runs out of stored glyogen in your liver & muscles, it will start using body fat as fuel. 

This is great because the fat burning of fasting tones up the body & starts eating up visceral & subcutaneous body fat, excess loose skin & other broken cell components with autophagy. The entire hormonal systems of the human body changes into a tri-fuel mode, when they can burn amino acids from muscle, fats from stored body fat, and glucose created by the liver via gluconeogenisis. Your brain can adapt to using low levels of glucose with ketone bodies to power braincells. 

You will start to smell acetone in your breath & sweat, which means good ideas to brush your teeth & take a hot shower. As you continue fasting your body will keep burning stored body fat. Fat is the bodies energy storage. Fat is crated when we eat carbohydrates & blood sugar rises, the insulin levels increase to tell the body to store the blood sugar as body fat. Want to gain weight, eat a lot of simple carbs & sugar, processed junk foods, in larger servings, in excess, too many times per day. Your body will swell up with inflammation & more stored body fat around the stomach in particular. 

I highly recommend starting by skipping dinner or breakfast. Then after you master 2 meals per day, try going with 1 meal per day, lunch. Then when you are ready & have mastered 1 meal per day, try a 24 hour fast. Let your body readjust for a few months, then try a 48 hr fast. If you feel good at 48 hours, then slowly introduce foods to prevent re-feeding syndrome, which can be fatal. Keep eating normally with interval fasting for a few more months, them try the 3 day water fast. If you are morbidly overweight or very fat, you can safely go to 7 days or more. 

I have overweight friends who went blind into a 14 day fast & lost a lot of body fat & have changed their diet for the better & become stronger & more fit as a result, even though they are older now :) Good job Alicia :) I knew you could do it & glad I explained it to you & Jaeson. I am sadly disassociated from them now, at their discretion. I really wish I was still friends with them, but they told me they did not want me coming around anymore, sadly. Meg, my lovely wife, is more only true friend. I was friends with Matt Mayo, but he committed suicide. I was friends with my sister Andrea's late husband Drake, but he died of leukemia + covid. I was friends with my dad Ken, but he died of cardiovascular disease. I don't have any close friends anymore. Of the people who would qualify, they never call me. 

Over the years I have only formed loose friendships with coworkers, nothing close. Meg is paranoid about spending time with anyone who is not a bible reading doer of the Holy Word of God in the Christian Bible. My closest real world friend now is a 68 year old man named Quentin. He is from South Africa, and we have really interesting discussions at work, during down-time between the morning & afternoon shifts, during our lunch break. Sometimes I have to eat lunch at 12pm noon or 1pm because I have to leave for my PM route at 2:20pm. I feel a lot better if I only drink black coffee in the morning. I take my vitamins & medications with lunch in the middle of the day. I try to eat a smaller lighter serving of food for dinner, as early as practical. 

Yesterday, I got sick with some nasty upper respiratory virus. Made all my joints hurt, hot & cold flashes, now my airway & nasal sore like they were burned with a torch // huts every time I swallow. Hope I will be better after resting more. I plan to be back to work again Monday. I had to call out sick today, since I am very ill. I even slept in till 7:30 am, which is rare! I went to bed at 6:30 pm last night & had 8+ sleep periods last night. My Apple Watch battery died, so I did not capture the sleep data sadly, it would have been interesting to analyze & compare against my historical averages & trends. My nose is drippy now & my throat is still sore. I put voltaren on some of my joints to cut down on the pain. I even took a 375mg Tylenol last night at 3:30 am. When I get sick with cold & flu viruses, my neck, knees, ankles and hands start to hurt really bad. These are joint where I struggle with inflammation, so the virus pathogens attack these areas, since there is more blood flow to the red swollen places. Sleeping seems to regularly give me a neck headache, especially if I am sick with a viral pathogen. I used to have neck headaches all the time, but using a posture pump, paying attention to my body posture & getting more sleep seemed to really help. Taking metformin to drag down my blood glucose levels also seemed to help a lot. 

Toxic TCE Metal Solutions

The cool good news that innovative mixtures of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon & nitrogen + oxides & ions of these can produce nano-materials that have unmatched electrical & thermal performance, so our technology can mirror life with applied life science interdisciplinary blending with information technology, mining & materials processing. 

There is an eco-friendly way to conduct all human activity at even higher levels of functionality so we can build moon colonies & develop mars & go interstellar with human development. 

I am talking about using truly eco-friendly technology to expand human life to the edges of existence, in other dimensional spaces, in poly-verses, in the meta-verse, across the universe, to infinity & beyond! 

Gasoline $15 per liter or $50 per gallon

Global decarbonization laws & government carbon reduction policies will result in a steady long term price pressure on petrochemical gasoline & diesel. Consider that these common automobile ICE fuels already heavily subsidized at every level of the supply chain from oil exploration to the retail sale of gasoline to an automobile owner to fuel their piston engine powered vehicle, backup generator, motorcycle or scooter or any other fuel burning device.

Fuel Economy vs Fuel Price Operating Cost

Gasoline & diesel passenger vehicle total cost structure largely related to two functions


1 Depreciation of the initial price paid for the vehicle or capital cost of the vehicle


2 Operating costs which largely consist of fuel prices


Lets consider 200,000 miles at $5 gallon to see how fuel prices stack up over time

Valence Electrons

Food, fuel, chemical reactions, its electron exchanges between atomic valence shells making it happen! 

Nucleophilic or Electrophilic, in molecules the electron distribution usually contains a dipole moment such that a part of the molecule has a net positive charge while the other part has a negative charge, sorta like a magnet has a north & south pole. So molecules are like little atomic molecular magnetics, that attract & this attraction is what causes super glue to polymerize & fuels biochemistry with enzymes facilitating a lower energy of activation to trigger chemical reactions in the human body at just above room temperatures in warm flesh cells! 

Most chemical reactions taking place between reactants to produce products are strongly influenced by electrons exchanged between the valence or outmost electron orbital shell fields of the constituent atoms.

Lit on Neurotransmitters

Thinking itself is psychedelic! Each person experiences sensory inputs slightly differently. We are literally hallucinating our waking reality as Anil Seth's TED video demonstrates, tripping out in our dreams while we are sleeping. The brain is always making its own endogenous ligands of receptors called neurotransmitters, in an ongoing way that Dutch super cold athlete Win Hof called "getting high on your own supply" where I got the idea for this post!

Block Heating Your Engine


Block heating your engine to 100 F dramatically speeds warm-up, so you can defrost your windows faster. Warming also reduces cold-start wear which dramatically enhances the useful calendar life of your vehicles engine; it also reduces tailpipe emissions. Best of all the electricity used cheaper than the gasoline saved, so block heating saves money! 

Better Life for Everyone

I promote nuclear energy because I care about other people & want to make the world a better place to live

 

Nuclear is the cleanest & safest way to make electricity on the GW scale, and the key to completely phasing out coal power, gas & oil in order to decarbonize all energy systems in the world


More Nuclear Reactors +Renewables + Energy Storage combined will radically reduce air pollution & thereby improve public & environmental health substantially, thus reducing healthcare costs & improving economies around the world! 

Inside Your Mind

60,000 thoughts per day! Enzymes going 1000 miles per hour in every cell. You contain an energy & unlimited potential that pulls beneath the surface, forces you cannot see or taste inside your mind motivating thinking, choices & behaviors so strongly that a mind body effect established in science that proves the mind affects physiology of the body, such that what we say, what we believe, what we think about affects the health & wellness of our physical body. 

Q-bits

It might be a stretch of the imagination to conceptualize non-digital, non-binary information processing, like that accomplished by integrated circuits like the SOC in your latest smartphone or web connected wearable technology, like my 8th Gen. Apple Watch! 

Human Life Precious & Special

Take a moment to reflect with a sense of aw at the magical aspects of living life in all of its marvelous diversity on Earth, our home planet, where everyone lives, eating, drinking & breathing molecules that are endlessly cycling through the biosphere of Earth, while every human person self assembles from DNA information shared by all life! The more you understand the more you can appreciate why life so special & unlike anything else, so try to make the best of your finite time alive while you still can! 

Plasma Physics & Catalytic Chemistry

From antidepressant chemicals in tobacco smoke, to supplements on Amazon, I consider the importance of enzymes & catalysts in facilitating human biochemistry activation enabling life, & attempt to tie it all together. 

Cold Does Not Exist, It's Only an Absence of Heat Energy

My wife disagrees with my title :P 

Like Faith in God, Nuclear Energy or Atomic Power makes heat without combustion, which can saturate the cold with energy. This means that Nuclear offers a pathway to abundant cheap electricity without burning carbon or releasing CO2 or other air pollutants! 

 
Nuclear Energy enabling mankind to gain control over climate & weather to stop climate change, improving agriculture & economic development, since improving energy inputs to society increases wealth & prosperity in every way! 

Energy inputs are the most important way to increase the value of currencies, to stop inflation, to energize society with broad electrification in transportation & to enable the complete phasing out of coal power, gasoline & diesel, so there is excess electricity to charge EV's of all kinds in every sector worldwide, electric vehicles for 200 billion people! 

Energy, not the absence of it! ENERGY, ENERGY, 
EVERYTHING IS ENERGY 

A Moral Imperative to Broadly Decarbonize

We must stop emitting pollution now, and nuclear reactors offer the safest way to make electricity for 200 billion people for thousands of years with fuel breeding nuclear power reactors that make more fuel than they consume while operating 24/7/365 making clean cheap abundance electricity for everyone to use! Carbon combustion finite, limited, & its immoral to continue burning carbon. Carbon energy is a dead end & everyone knows it! 

Went to Bed too Late, Woke up Early, Hard to Wake Up | Sleep

Getting enough sleep important for health. Many life factors can cause sleep disorders or keep people from falling asleep, staying asleep, getting enough sleep, sleep disorders became more common after the widespread diffusion of artificial lighting technology during the early 20th century. 

More Love People / The Law of Attraction / Praise God & Help Other People & Nature

Let the Love Well Up Inside your Soul & Overflow & Shower It On Other People with Random Acts of Kindness Motivated by the Healing & Restorative Love that God wants to Share with you through Faith in Christ Jesus as Christianity All About Embracing Love, Showing our brothers & sisters compassion, empathy, helping to raise up & lift up our neighbors, random strangers, our friends & family, by sharing the powerful disruptive truth from quantum physics about the Law of Attraction that is confirmed by every chapter in the New Testament of the Christian Bible! 

Law of Attraction | Sharing A Powerful Secret

Embrace the Law of Attraction! Focus by visualizing the achievement of your Goals & Dreams, your Wishes & with a positive intention so the universe can reconfigure to give you what you really want; a better lifestyle wealthy with better real friends, better family relationships, better faith & spirituality, deeper connections to other people, nature, animals, ecosystems, so that you genuinely feel good, loving yourself & everyone else more, making a positive difference in ways that you never imagined possible, before applying the Law of Attraction!

Write Your Life Story / Abundance For Everyone if You Believe It & Manifest It Into Reality

What you think about becomes your future. Embrace thoughts that make you feel good. What is true for those other people does not apply to you. Set yourself free & be ok with having more abundance, there is more than enough to go around! 

Agency & Free Will are a Gift from God

So choose carefully, live fully, feeling your emotions but also using your logic & reasoning to control your impulses. 

Take every thought captive and compare your thoughts to what you know to be morally good, ethical, fair, honest, decent, reasonable, that aligns with what you intrinsically know about being socially accountable to your family & community, about making a positive difference to make the world a better place helping other people any way you can imagine. 

We all depend on one another & are brothers and sisters as one human people on one planet Earth. Everything is connected in life, so make good choices that improve your future & that help you to help other people improve their futures too! 

Children are the future & we owe it them to be nicer to each other, to stop corruption & crime, to end war, to stop hurting each other & nature. We can do a much better job in all ways in life & everyone knows it! So stop thinking about it & make plans & make it happen! Be accountable & have personal integrity & treat yourself & other people with dignity & respect! Good luck & warm regards, I believe in you & know you can do it! 


Inception E-commerce Self-Reinforcing

I woke up early at 4:34am today, Friday Oct 28th 2022, and was making an espresso shot around 5:10am, when a series of thoughts about "how I ended up with this complicated expensive espresso kit happened"- what factors were involved that convinced me to spend money while I was between jobs without meaningful income. 

Rechargeable Batteries

Here I give a brief overview of different rechargeable batteries that were developed throughout the 20th century, from early lead acid batteries to modern lithium ion batteries, going to NiCD & NiMH along the way. 

Sodium Ion Battery Emergent

Say, Sodium Ion EV's, Much More Cheaper Sodium Ion Batteries! Batteries for Billions of People without Lithium or Cobalt cost increases or limited supplies globally! Sodium Electric Vehicles! Sea levels are rising, but sea water rich with sodium, so we can tackle rising sea levels by harvesting the ocean water & rending sodium & other valuable mineral elements like gold & uranium from the sea water! 

Trash to Treasure / Reduce Reuse Recycle / Clean Energy

Reducing Waste | Reusing Existing Things | Recycling Degraded Things || There are many ways we can improve fashion by reducing garment waste. Cardboard, paper, glass, aluminum, steel, copper, plastics & many other things can be recycled into new materials, especially metals & glass. 

British GBP Imploding like China's Economy & the USD

UK Government debt spending drives up inflation, a phenomenon well understood by economists studying fiat currencies, which are all subject to inflationary pressures. By Sept 26th, 2022, the GBP reached value parity with USD, an inflated currency that has lost much of its buying power during the 20th century, most noteworthy now in elevated home & rent prices, increased food & fuel prices, the essentials selling at a higher consumer price index, making life basics less affordable. 

Ketosis

A metabolic state of elevated ketone bodies in the blood, breath & urine. Ketosis a normal response to low blood glucose levels, such as those produced by a low-carbohydrate diet, ketogenic diet, interval fasting or fasting. Ketones produced by the liver provide energy for the brain & other body cells, allowing homeostasis to be maintained in the absence of food consumption. 

Fasting for Better Health

Fasting has numerous health benefits, specifically for overweight adults, more especially for adults suffering from metabolic syndrome diseases & disorders from eating the western diseases of civilization diet or SAD standard American diet with excess carbs, not enough fiber, too little healthy fats & not enough quality proteins. Sugar, Insulin, Sugar, Insulin - stop the madness, give your body a break, thin about fasting & watch the Science of Fasting Video to get started! 

China's Economy Imploding

Ghost towns, fake developments, unprofitable expensive railways, millions of home owners defrauded out of their mortgages, millions more unable to access funds in their banks. Rising labor costs inside China leading to outsourcing of labor, further weakening the economy. 

Restoring Tools Cool

My latest YouTube videos explore simple fast at home DIY restoration of rusted hand tools!

Making something old & rusty like new again seems cool for a lot of reasons! I like restoration & love electroplating & using electricity in welding, in electric motors, in lamps & bulbs, in appliances, in electric vehicles, in batteries, I think electricity particularly special when the energy encoded with information for the internet & to facilitate online commerce on the World Wide Web networks of commuters connecting peoples minds to products & services of all kinds in new emergent ways with no historical parallel. Its an exciting time to be alive as the world electrifies more to give every human person alive the benefits of a 6KW lifestyle :) FTW 

Tobacco Industry Criminal Negligence & Worse

Peoples lives are being smoked away by tobacco, especially exposure to second hand smoke that lingers, fouling things nearby with tar. Smoking one the most powerful causes of preventable death & disease, just like coal power emissions, vehicle tail pipe emissions & other air pollutants that sicken, harm, hurt, & kill people! 

Block Heating in Winter

Block Heating warms up your vehicle faster, reduces fuel used on cold start, reduces the worst tailpipe emissions after engine startup, makes your engine last longer, and saves money, even after you pay for the electricity to run the block heater! They pre-heat engines in Formula 1 race cars, so you can too! 

Rain Improves Air Quality & More

I have never been so happy to see rainy weather arrive. For over 6 weeks it do not rain once, during a time when many wildfires were burning out of control in the cascade mountains nearby. These wildfires were covering most of western Washington State with forest fire smoke that made many people ill with respiratory illness, acute onset from the continual smoke exposure; fine particles sucked into their vehicles HVAC system, into their workplaces air, into the air of their homes, making it unsafe to perform physical labor outdoors or to exercise outside, so many people had to refrain from walking, jogging, running, hiking, riding bicycles & other forms out outdoor activities. 

Mr Nobody & Vanilla Sky & The Matrix : Sci-fi Drama Philosophical Reflections

How do you even know that you are real? How do you know that you exist? What if what you think about reality turns out to be completely wrong? How can you know for sure that what you believe is right, true, or factually correct?

Vladimir Putin Has Lost His Sanity, His Humanity, and His Heart; he has become a Sadistic Evil Despot

I was wrong in the past when I  said that I liked Vladimir Putin for defending Russian culture, telling people that move to Russia to adapt to the culture of Russia or move back to wherever they came from. I kind like that idea, such that each country unique, with unique food, unique holidays, unique cultural elements with different music, events, and other aspects of a society that can be & often are distinctive. 

Allergies from Fear & a Way to Freedom from Allergies

Scientific research shows that some allergies are related to fear, the negative emotion, especially dread or inhibitory chronic fear, a kind of stress that can set off the immune system reacting to pollen or other common irritants with a histamine response that gives rise to allergy symptoms, runny noise, itchy eyes, itchy skin, rashes, flushing, redness, pain, irritation, soreness, sore throat, nasal drainage, eye drainage, things that cause people to use expensive allergy medications, when sometimes those allergies are actually caused by FUD or fear uncertainty & doubt.

Powerful Words to Encourage Excellence

"Be Imitators of God" 

Chapter 5 

1 Therefor become imitators of God, copy him and follow his example, as well-beloved children imitate their father; 

2 and walk continually in love, that is, value one another, practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others, just as Christ also love you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God, slain for you, so that it became a sweet fragrance. 

3 But sexual immorality and all moral impurity, indecent, offensive behavior, or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints, for as believer our way of life, whether in public or private, reflects the validity of our faith.

4 Let there be no filthiness and silly talk or corese obscene or vulgar joking, because such things are not appropriate for believers, but instead speak of your thankfulness to God.

5 For be sure of this; no immoral, impure, or greedy person, for that one is in effect an idolater, had any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God, for such a person places a higher value on something other than God! 

6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments that encourage you to sin, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience, those who habitually sin. 

7 So do not participate or even associated with then in the rebelliousness of sin. 

8 For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light, live as those who are native-born to the light

9 For the fruit, the effect, the result, of the Light consists of all goodness and righteousness and truth

10 Trying to learn by experience what is pleasing to the Lord, and letting tour lifestyles be examples of what is most acceptable to him- your behavior expressing gratitude to God for your salvation

11 Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character

12 For it is disgraceful even to mention the things that such people practice in secret.

13 But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light of God's precepts, for it is light that makes everything visible. 

14 For this reason He says, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, and Christ will shine as dawn upon you and give you light" 

15 Therefor see that you walk carefully, living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil, not as the unwise, but as wise, sensible, intelligent, discerning people 

16 Making the very most of your time on Earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence, because the days are filled with evil

17 Therefor do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is

18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness, corruption, stupidity, but be filled with the Holy Spirit and constantly guided by Him

19 Speak to one another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs, offering praises by singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord

20 Always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

21 Being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Authentic Original

Do you have any real products, real originals, one off oil paintings or samurai swords? Do you own anything custom made that is unlike anything else? In todays 4IR era of mass produced goods does the concept of original even cease to have meaning? 

Be The Best You!

I dream of cheap abundant clean electricity, reliable cheap space access, interstellar travel at faster than light using quantum spacetime tunneling & wormhole bridge jumping across space into other dimensional layers, higher dimensional planes of existence where energy & information are all that actually exists!

Intelligent motor controllers that can precisely modulate the magnetic fields inside electric motors, enabling them to act as a traction motor to propel vehicles, but also to accomplish regenerative brake energy recovery to charge the vehicle traction battery as the vehicle coasting, braking or going down a hill! 

Your the Most Important Nut to Tighten in Your Vehicle

Transportation safety regularly relates to the drivers skill & attention level, focusing on safety & being polite, respectful, careful & observing rules of the road, obeying transportation laws & regulations! Most vehicle accidents are caused by human error, made worse by tiredness, intoxication, anger or stress. People make driving mistakes when they are distracted, when their focus broken or diverted by looking at their phone screen or making radio adjustments or looking in the back of the vehicle!

Slowing Down & Taking Your Time : Battery Electric Micro-Mobility In-City @< 10mph or 16km/h

Here, I am talking about going under 10mph or 16km/h on battery electric micro-mobility devices like a Segway self balancing scooter, E-bike or electric kick scooter, electric unicycle, other wearable vehicles that let users glide, roll, fly; the idea un-car or alternatives to automobiles, cars, trucks, SUV's & other heavy expensive & overkill for typical single occupancy commuting purposes, to get people where they are going & back home again!

I hopped on Amazon & searched for such a device & found a cheap made in china electronic high frequency power supply wand with argon tubes for skin treatment to help Meg. I asked her & she green lit the $30 purchase. 

Toilets & Sanitation / Fresh Water Conservation

Many people are sick with digestive problems and many children die of gastrointestinal illness caused by a lack of access to clean potable water, a lack of access to sanitation, and a lack of access to clean toilets or sanitary products to wipe; sanitary napkins, tampons, pads or other consumables used for hygiene, like soap dispensers & soap & a sink with running water to wash hands after using the toilet, to remove fecal coliform & other pathogenic bacteria that can be on the hands after wiping the anus with toilet paper for example!

LiPo Lithium Polymer Batteries

Nuclear Electricity Important for the Decarbonization of Energy

To reduce air pollution, energize electrical grids to charge electric vehicles, to desalinate sea water & to make green hydrogen, to decarbonize transportation, its fuel breeding fission reactors that have the most positive potential to improve energy systems on Earth, on the Moon & Mars & in spacecraft & space stations, where solar PV too limited especially & where the fuel mass paradox of chemical rockets limits space access with high cost per unit of mass launched & can never enable big scale space development. To greatly reduce air pollution toxic to public health, to make more clean renewable electricity, we urgently need more new nuclear reactors, the best of IFR or or fuel breeding reactors that make more fuel than they consume by enriching fertile elements placed in with the fuel bundles to make new fertile fuel elements that continue energizing the fission processes! We are talking about clean renewable nuclear energy for 10 billion people for thousands of years! 

Decarbonization

Carbon combustion emits trillions of tons of CO2 & large quantities of CO & NOX & SOX & PM, soot, smoke, fumes, all components of air pollution, & that air pollution toxic to public health, causing preventable diseases that increase healthcare costs. 

Every Time Someone Rises Up There is Someone Else Looking to Drag Them Down

Does the term vertical mobility mean anything to you? That's when the guy shoveling coal into a processing furnace at Proctor & Gamble can study & become a chemical engineer in his spare time, slowly climbing up positions until he become a head chemist & develops amazing products like Tide laundry detergent. 

Device Repair & Consumer Rights to Fix Stuff They Own + Lithium Ion Batteries

When a person buys a consumer electronic item like an iPhone or Apple Watch, that item is their personal property to do what they see fit with, so long as they do not use it to violate laws or others peoples basic human rights & freedoms! Device repair eco-friendly by reducing e-waste. Lithium Ion battery recycling important too!

Government Serves Who

Take a ride into what irritates & annoys me & many other people & see what I mean by feeling like the Government not giving its constituency any representation, all the mud throwing negative political ads on TV rights now are gross & unethical & filled with lies & factual inaccuracies. 

Vladimir Putin an Evil Psychopathic Maniacal Sicko Guilty of War Crimes & Worse

The Invasion of the Ukraine by Russian Military forces highly immoral & unethical. I stand with the Ukrainian democracy & its independence as a country! Most of the Russian people are angry with Vladimir Putin, because his war against the Ukraine costing the Russian economy an enormous amount, vastly negatively & broadly damaging the Russian economy, while causing crazy costly fallout on the Ukraine, its people & infrastructure & environments heavily damaged, killed & destroyed & degraded because of the munitions the Russian military has bombarded parts of the Ukraine with. Many of the Russian troops disagree with Vladimirs orders, since those Russian troops & many other Russian people in Russia have friends & relatives & family that live in the Ukraine. 

Applied Science & Technology

After reviewing most available technologies in the world, you might come to the same conclusion as me. It does not make sense why so many problems with pollution, land & water & ecosystem degradation, crime & corruption & other crony capitalism collusion & insourcing & outsources & currency manipulation & trade manipulation, slavery, bigotry, ignorance & confusion are so common & trending in the world today. 

Weight, Core & Cardio Training

I started workout out exercising more recently, weight training, cardio & core exercises & feel a lot better, and stronger with more endurance too!

Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Making healthy lifestyle choices not obvious to everyone. So many different topics in the world to distract & divide peoples attention. I think content & internet abuse gives rise to some ADD or attention deficit disorders. I think content can be just as addictive as common drugs of abuse, like alcohol, cannabis, cocaine & opioids like rainbow colored fentanyl that is killing people now sadly. Sitting around too much cause blood to pool up in the legs, increasing the risks factors for stokes, clotting & embolisms. 

Tetris Effect

I got a soldering project kit on Amazon, and it took me less than an hour to build it & get it working on 3xAAA batteries or around 4.5vdc of alkaline primary battery energy. While it contains 5 different games, I was immediately drawn to a version of Tetris (not official) that reminds me of playing Tetris on Nintendo Gameboy & Original Nintendo as a child of the 1980s. Cool. Meg was playing it in no time too. My current high score on day two, 212 lines ^^ 

Not Sickening Yourself with Hangover


Expensive, hard on the body, interfering with REM sleep, perhaps alcoholic beverages are better consumed in smaller servings, less often, sparingly, earlier in the day, only until buzzed, & maybe getting drunk with too much also very unwise! Consider the RDA for ethanol & how brewing yeast kicked off the bioscience & lifescience revolutions. 


I think its better to drink slowly for enjoyment of the flavors & to savor that fun buzz ^^ A wise drinker drinks with moderation, for enjoyment, on occasion, with friends & flavor to savor in memories made of good times spend with friends!

I like beer, wine, spirits. I even regularly think about building or buying a still, about gin & tonic, about IPA, lager beers, about tasty wine. I like whisky, bourbon, vodka, dry gin, dry wine, hoppy beer, stuff with more flavor, even sour beers are interesting ^^ Cheers!

I am not against consuming alcoholic beverages! But, maybe less is more, perhaps having 2 drinks is better than 5, perhaps only drinking 3 days per week better than everyday! I don't think most adult men are going to be harmed by having a beer at the Saturday barbecue event they hold with their buddies & friends on the weekend. I am not some kind of teetotaler zealot or part of the teetotalism movement where its practitioners abstain from all forms of alcohol consumption.

Consider that hangovers are caused by dehydration, that the costs of expensive liquor, wine & beer bad for your budget, that ethanol interferes with your sleep architecture & stresses out your liver cells, makes you have to pee more in the night & to avoid a hang over you have to drink a bunch of extra water, which makes the night time urination issue worse.

Is alcohol really so bad for your body to justify the surgeon general putting high contrast warning labels about the negative health effects of drinking alcoholic beverages on the bottles & packages. Probably, consider what drunk drivers end up doing because of their impaired judgment.

Drink to be merry & not to be drunk the wisdom the Bible shares about drinking alcoholic beverages, but I have another idea. Drink less so you do not weaken & sicken yourself. Sicken yourself with alcohol. But Aaron, when the body consumes carbs they ferment in the gut and produce ethanol & CO2 so you burb, say beer belly buddy, & this allows alcohol to enter the blood stream naturally when people eat common popular foods. Ok, I get it, but the dose different & the dose of ethanol is what makes the difference. Just like 1 shot of espresso different than a quad shot!

Think about how adding milk to the espresso makes a latte by changing the fluid volume & adding all sorts of other substances to tame the intense espresso flavors to something more palatable & enjoyable to others, thus the popularity of cappuccino & latte drinks, swelled ice coffee drinks & similar from Starbucks that are trendy & that sell well worldwide. I learned that instant coffee made of freeze dried coffee making a comeback with younger people who do not know about premium coffee or espresso or other complicated to make coffee drinks ^^ but who also do not want that bitter acidic over-brewed battery acid coffee made from commercial pre-ground coffee can coffee's made by huge corporations in high volumes, popular with peoples grandparents, who drink pots of this mediocre coffee all day long. My grandpa, Wesley, used to drink 20+ cups of coffee, God rest his soul!

Treat yourself as a reward after being productive all week, not to close to bedtime either. Give your body a few hours to metabolize your drinks before going to bed for the night! I drank a 24 oz 8.1% beer at about 5:05pm a few days ago & it knocked me out. I feel asleep on the floor shortly after the peak effects of the ethanol were noticed. Admittedly I had been using espresso shots to cover up the accumulated sleep debt & tiredness associated with sleep debt, so what the GABA receptor agonist ethanol did was enable me to catch a badly needed nap, even though I still probably had a fair amount of caffeine in my system.

Ethanol consumption creates oxidative stress on the body, just like sugars. Sugars are the new alcohol, since alcohol losing popularity with the general public sorta like smoking cigarettes did in the 1990's. The trending beverage with millennials Redbull & other energy drinks with B-vitamins & caffeine from several different botanical sources. Some energy drinks have 400mg of caffeine the entire RDA for adults according to WHO or the world health organization. Other countries like Italy, where espresso was developed, recommend a maximum daily caffeine intake of 300mg, so what is an effective RDA for ethanol? Who knows? A few grams perhaps, I don't know. Lets consider the alcohol content of a standard drink consisting of 1.5 shots of 40% hard alcohol, 12 oz of 6% beer or 5 oz of 14% wine

Ethanol Dose Math ( 1 standard drink )

1.5 fl.oz or 44ml X 0.40 "80 proof" = 17.6ml or 0.6 fluid ounces ethanol or about 17 grams et-oh

12 fl.oz or 354ml X 0.06 "12 proof" = 21.2ml or 0.71 fluid ounces of ethanol or about 20 grams et-oh

5 fl.oz or 148ml or 0.14 "28 proof" = 20.7 ml or 0.699 fluid ounces of ethanol or about 19 grams et-oh

Few adults are going to get a good buzz from 1 drink, so many will drink 2 or 3 drinks / so something like 5 oz of liquor, 3 beers or 3 glasses of wine / would be a maximum RDA - obviously there is no minimum

No one has to drink alcohol, ethanol or spirits or beer or wine. People like the flavors of these drinks & because they get a buzz from the GABA receptor activation when ethanol enters their blood stream & hits their brains GABA receptors, making it feel a little bit like they are asleep, while they are awake, disinhibiting people by removing some of their mental filters so they lighten up, ease up, relax, able to socialize better at parties where adults drink alcoholic beverages.

Beer popular at scientific conferences, the magic of yeast fermentation so valuable it help fund a tremendous amount of scientific investigation into biochemistry, pharmacology, medicine, infact many essential drugs like insulin are made with GMO yeast, just like brewing beer in large stainless steel vats, large steel vessel called bioreactors, which are just like high capacity fermenting vessels used at large breweries. Thus its cheap to make insulin & Lantus & other analogs of insulin in large volumes, easily scaled with another bioreactor as the GMO yeast, just as brewing yeast, can be cultivated in a sterile room using sterile techniques, to perpetuate the yeast, strain type them, keeping genetic diversity, selectively breeding to create different cultivars.

Special yeast strains were developed to brew spirits, yeast that can survive in fluids with up to 40% ethanol content. Brewing gave rise to a lot of bioscience, biology, in fact the compound microscopes first big applications was to study yeast used in beer making. At the time, it was thought that beer was made of water, malted barely, & hops, as the open vats would intake wild yeasts that blow around in the air naturally. In wine making the yeast on peoples feet stomping the grapes would contribute to the attenuation of fermentation process.

Ethanol

Produced when yeast consumer starches & sugars, its a simple two carbon alcohol, it can be burned in gasohol blends of gasoline & ethanol, including E10, E15, E35, E85 in flex-fuel vehicles, though ethanol contains about 30% less energy than gasoline, so I buy ethanol free gasoline from The Grange in Issaquah Washington, though Pure-gas has a website where you can fine other fueling stations that sell ethanol free gasoline. In pre-2008 vehicles, that were never designed to use E10, they ECU can produce better fuel economy settings with the correct fuel to air ratio & pulse width settings of the fuel injector & ignition timing settings running on straight gasoline 87 octane, regular unleaded gasoline without ethanol. The reformulated fuels mandate was a governmental measure in the United States that resulted in E10 gasoline & now E15 where fermented GMO corn ethanol added to gasoline to reduce the US dependence on foreign oil, since corn ethanol a domestic fuel, ignoring that foreign diesel fuel powered equipment utilized to grow, harvest, move, processes, manufacture, distribute, etc corn ethanol & its an energetic wash when you consider the energy inputs to make corn ethanol vs the usable energy in the ethanol produced, a wash, though it does produce a lot of economic activity & value added job creating activities in the USA/

Ethanol is a polar solvent like water, able to solubilize a wide variety of chemical substances & utilized to produce tinctures, to sterilize surfaces, as hand sanitizers active ingredient in some formulations, as a carrier in perfume & cologne since the ethanol readily holds a mixture of oils & fragrances suspended in a solution that can be dabbed or sprayed to add scents to the body, personal items or clothing. I use small droplets of sandalwood oil in this way, without ethanol. Some varnishes, stains & paints are suspended in solutions that contain ethanol as a solvent. Sometimes neat or pure ethanol used to rinse lab glass & can be used to sterilize skin prior to scalpel cutting, though iodine solutions are superior. Before anesthetics, ethanol was given to patients to intoxicate them prior to painful surgeries, so that they could endure the surgery, which was brutal in this earlier era of medicine.

Ethanol has a lower boiling point than water and higher vapor pressure (evaporates more easily than water) because it does not participate in strong hydrogen bonding like water, the two carbon chain interferes with the intermolecular forces such that ethanol boils at 173.1 F or 78.38 C, vs 100 C or 212 F for waters boiling point respectively.

Ethanol also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol or sometimes just "alcohol" EtOH, its chemical formula with 2 carbons, 6 hydrogen & 1 oxygen atoms respectively CH3-CH2-OH or C2H5OH or C2H6O / The dhydrogen saturated double carbon chain called ethyl for 2 (methyl is 1), considered volatile (goes from liquid to gas phase easily), its flammable (thus used as an additive fuel oxygenator in ethanol gasoline blends like E85. Ethanol is a clear colorless liquid with a strong floral metallic flavor & odor similar to wine. People consume ethanol for its psychoactive properties as a recreation drug & ethanol is the active component of alcohol drinks, spirts, wine & beer.

From the IUPAC the systematic name Ethanol defined by a chemical compound consisting of an alkyl group with two carbon atoms (prefix "eth-") having a single bong between them and an attached functional hydroxyl group -OH (suffix "-ol") the name "ethyl" assigned 1843 by Justus Liebig, which he named from German "aether" used to describe diethyl either C2H5-O-C2H5, from the Ancient Greek "Aither" for "upper air" and "Hyle" for "substance" or "Upper Air Substance" when combined. Today the word alcohol refers to a wide variety of different chemicals in chemistry as there are many alcohols, though specifically the word commonly used Alcohol refers to the alcohol present in wine or "The alcohol of wine" as was first recorded in 1753.

With up-to 25% of 50 proof, many medication not soluble or insoluble in water are dissolved in ethanol solutions, including pain medications, cough and cold medicines, mouth washes, & ethanol used as preservative in the liquid preparations of more than 700 different medications. 

Different body enzymes break down ethanol into an intermediate called acetaldehyde, a known carcinogen that poses significantly greater toxicity than ethanol itself. Hangover & other unpleasant side effects of drinking alcohol from the formation of acetaldehyde by ALDH or aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes. Some people have a mutation in the ALDH2 gene that renders this enzyme pathway dysfunctional, which contributes to the alcoholic flush reaction which is from toxic side effects from the acetaldehyde. Even worse, the ADH1B gene codes for increased enzyme activity in 80% of East Asians that improves catalytic conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde, making the hangover worse faster. 






Getting Enough Sleep Healthy

Getting enough sleep (7-9 hrs) vital to brain memory function, consolidation of memory, forgetting non essential information, building long term memory required for skill and knowledge development, a wide range of cell repairs like muscle strengthening, bone remodeling, bone marrow immune boosting, cell clean up processes called autophagy & other essential maintenance cascade restoration that occur during 4 different stages of sleep, during your sleep cycles or blocks of sleep.

Rameses B "Fallen Angel" Lyrics

I was listening to Pandora streaming music on "Blackmill Radio" channel, when the song from the title started playing with thought provoking lyrics about being a genuinely good person vs a wannabe. I took the pleasure of transcribing these lyrics & found the source of the material from Alan Watts via google searching!  

Ought, Should, You Know Right From Wrong

99% of adults of a sound mind, the vast majority of people know basic ethics of right & wrong behaviors, social accountability to not hurt other people, to not commit adultery, to not covet false idols, to not kill, to not betray, to only do good things & never do bad things; basic human morality of knowing "right" from "wrong" 

Aliens from Outer Space (Extraterrestrials) Visiting Real People on Earth All Throughout History!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation#/media/File:Dr._Frank_Drake.jpg

Consider the Drake Equation by the late Dr. Frank Donald Drake, who recently died 9.2.2022 sadly. An astrophysicist & astrobiologist, who's eponymous equation a statistical probabilistic estimate of the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial *space aliens* civilization in just the Milky Way Galaxy, where our Solar System, the Sun & Earth & Moon are located, orbiting a relatively small black hole, in our local celestial neighborhood of a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy! 

Consumptive Eco Clean Lies

Electric vehicles are not free or eco-friendly, it takes a lot of pollutant emissions industrial mining to make the metals, glass, plastics, batteries & electronics, utilized to manufacture modern EV's, especially the lithium ion batteries. Lithium production, cobalt mining, nickel mining, there is no such thing as an eco-friendly metal mine. Cobalt is produce in the DRC with child slave labor. So wipe that smug look off your face if you have an EV, you are not saving anyone from anything. With more than 100 onboard computers & miles of wiring for ADAS & differing levels of autonomy, all of those integrated circuits are made using toxic manufacturing processes that release pollutants into the biosphere of Earth, where other people are breathing, drinking & eating it! 

Crony Capitalism

Frugality intelligent, just like honest business exchanges between one person & another where money from one person exchanged for a good or service from another person. When the government becomes the customer the seed of corruption enters the military industrial complex with lobbyists paid for by corporate special interests that undermine the foundation of capitalism & produce a plutocracy where billionaire & transnational corporation granted personhood have more representation than citizens in government. 

Chocolate Chip Walnuts Cookies : Baking At Home DIY

Chocolate Chip Walnuts Cookies

On my YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/XvZV4ZzHSFs <- click link to video :) 


Ingredients & Volumetric Amounts

2-1/4 cup all-purpose baking flour

1tsp baking soda 

1 cup (2 sticks butter) softened

3/4 granulated sugar (sucrose crystals)

3/4 cups brown sugar (w/ some molasses left)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs (or 3 smaller eggs) 

2 cups or 12 dry oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

1 cup chopped nuts (we chop whole walnuts)

Baking Procedure

Preheat the Oven to 350F 

In a small bowlCombine flour, baking soda & salt 

In a large bowl mix butter, sugar, brown sugar & vanilla extract until creamy (KitchenAid Classic Mixer) 

Add eggs one at a time to the large bowl, mixing well after each addition

Gradually add in the flour 

Gentle stir in the chocolate chips & chopped nuts 

Place a rounded tablespoon worth of the result cooking dough on a baking sheet, repeat this step, leaving space between the dough balls for the cookies to expand without merging during baking

Bake the cookies for 9-11 Minutes

Makes about 5 dozen, or ~60 cookies (I got 37 large ones, cooked for 12 min since bigger) 

They Dry Out Fast & Freeze Raw Dough Immediately 

They lack preservatives, or other strange ingredients, and dry out quickly, so I recommend storing any uneaten immediately cookies in an air tight plastic, glass or metal sealed storage container. You can also cook less of the dough & wrap the remainder in plastic film or vacuum bag it & freeze it for several months, to later remove / thaw / bake them. 

You have to move fast to freeze the unused dough since it contains raw egg & can spoil if allowed to warm, as warming promotes bacterial growth. In food safety procedures based on science, cold stuff stays cold, hot stays hot & warm is dangerous! Warm only ok for on-demand consumption. Keeping rice or dough or pasta near body temperature promotes bacterial pathogen growth & can cause food born illnesses if such warm bacteria contaminated foods are consumed. 

Coffee to Industrialization

The first industrial revolution thought to be stimulated by the global diffusion of coffee out of Ethiopia then to Yemen, then by trade to Europe where in the 15 century tap water was unsafe & nearly everyone was drinking beer all day. Coffee proved superior to alcoholic fermented beverages, stimulating lively discussion & intellectual inquiry by stimulating people to learn more. 

3D Printing History SLA to SLS then FDM or FFF

While 3D-printing might sound like a modern or newer technology, the concept of additive manufacturing from the 1980 & an inverse of subtractive manufacturing, for example with machining where a solid block of metal shaved away inside a CNC by high speed cutting tools that chip or cut away metals very precisely, in a process that is time consuming & expensive, such that custom CNC parts are costly.

Interval Fasting (skip meals) Easy

Stop Eating Immediately to Save Your Life. Think about Interval Fasting by skipping a meal, breakfast or dinner. If you want to lose weight, reduce the amount of carbohydrates & sugars you eat. I am not saying never eat sugar or carbs, just smaller servings less often, make them special sometimes not all the time. Consider the science of nutrition & metabolic syndrome diseases & what causes high blood sugars & all the diseases caused by constantly elevated high blood glucose levels.

Ethyl Acetate or Supercritical CO2 or the Swiss Hot Water Process, these methods are widely utilized to selectively solvate away caffeine while leaving the flavors & other compounds naturally present in the coffee. 

Keto & Fasting Body Energy

How do your muscles & brain get glucose when your not eating, when your sleeping, when your interval fasting or fasting for 3-7 days ? Gluconeogenesis the biochemistry of survival & why fasting is healthy for overweight people and people with diabetes & hypertension & other metabolic syndrome disorders.

Insulin, Insulin, Insulin : Diabetes + Obesity Epidemic

Diabetes & obesity caused by it, are a silent killing epidemic worldwide, affecting children as young as 6 years old. There are pathogens that cause diabetes, genetic disorders that cause diabetes, viruses that cause diabetes, parasites that eat the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer made worse by high blood sugars. Sugars feed rapidly dividing cancer cells. Sugar is a metabolic toxin when its consumed in excess because doing so raising blood sugar & elevating blood sugars cause progressive organ failure, cardiovascular disease, neuroendocrine disease, brain degeneration that makes ADD, ADHD, Dementia & Alzheimers diseases worse faster, just like trans fats.

I am at chapter 20 in a biochemistry textbook that I borrowed from Meg's employer Olga the OBGYN Doctor of Obstetrics, in association with reading Behe's wildly interesting book "Darwins Black Box" about how evolutionary microevolution cannot explain blood clotting, the eye or any other complex living systems actual origin or how these very complicated delicately balanced living systems could evolve by a tiny mutation drift event over long periods of time. 

Sugars Killing People with Obesity

"Obesity and corporate greed | DW Documentary" <- Click Hyperlink or by the following web link directly https://youtu.be/DboTyNu-FLk


I am only offering scientific metabolic facts from a personal example. Sugary starchy foods, many junk foods & soda pop & alcoholic beverages, when consumed in excess, elevate blood glucose levels. 

Over time this kind of SAD sweet carbohydrate heavy diet makes people fat, sick, and hungry. In response to evaluated blood glucose levels, their bodies increase pancreatic production of insulin into the blood stream where the hormone insulin tells cells in then body to uptake or intake glucose via GLUT1 the glucose cell membrane transporter protein, which turns into glycogen stored swelling up the liver, filling the muscles, then bloating fat cells with inflammation. This in turn increases visceral fat around the organs & produces the characteristic spare-tire belly fat that so many people struggle to reduce. 

Your Getting High On Neurotransmitters

When you pee or poo, when you eat & enjoy it, when you watch a movie you like or listen to music that you like, when your sleeping, when your at work, when your driving, when your walking, everyone getting high on neurotransmitters constantly. A 3 storm of electrical chemical activity coursing across your brain between 2 & 50 times per second, billions of neurons hosted by glial cells, burning glucose thinking in waves & 3D patterns of thought that underscore the functional basis of consciousness, the mind, or the software running on your brain computer cells. 

Have I lived Before / Reincarnation / Did God Send Me Back When I Asked

I have no idea where these "memories" or "ideas" come from, but I distinctly remember living in ancient Persia, as a nobleman who grew old & very lonely, having never made a lifelong friend or wife, isolated & lonely waiting to die. I wanted nothing more than to come back as a regular person. Perhaps that is what this life is, as Aaron Schwarz. There are smells & flavors from Persian culture, incense, and other aspects of Persian culture that seem deeply familiar to me. I do not understand why either. 

Lisinopril

I like to research drugs that my doctor prescribes me. In this case lisinopril. From wikipedia we can learn a lot about this prescription pharmaceutical drug. I take 20mg twice daily! I like that its a water soluble lysine analog of a poisonous venom extract from the Brazilian Pit Viper snake :) This an example where nature gives a good bioactive template for molecular drug design, onto which good organic biochemistry can be applied to improve the efficacy & reduce toxic side effects!

All Geico Car & Motorcycle Insurance Now

I am glad to be part of the GEICO Family :) 

Metromile decided to non-renew my policies for our 2005 & 2010 Prius, even though we paid every bill on time, never unplugged their OBDII device (I zip tied them into the OBD connector via a Y cable) so that I would have a free OBDII port for diagnostics. I made two calls to try & remedy the issue, and even contacted chat support. Apparently the underwriting team got information telling them I was unplugging the OBDII dongles used for the pay per mile insurance, when in reality I was only ever using an OBDII scan tool to reset the MIL lamp from P0000 errors that result from the downstream O2 sensor voltage mismatch after our catalytic converter in both Prii were stollen, I had Pro Exhaust in Auburn weld on $55 aftermarket catalytic converters with $25 after market O2 sensors, the thermal properties of the aftermarket cat & cheaper O2 sensor produce the wrong thermal regime & thus voltage output that does not match the ECU unit table values, which causes the OBDII system to send the P0000 error. When clearing the Errors using the tool, the Metromile Dongle sent a cellular message to the underwriters telling them that I was unplugging the dongle, when this was never the case. Resetting the OBDII exhaust P0000 was registered as an OBDII disconnect by the Metromile tracking dongles. So today, I am removing these dongles, having already setup a Geico account, since Metromile was unable to help me resolve the issue. No fault of the Metromile customer support, the underwriters sent me an email while I was on a 5 week long 8,000 mile road-trip in the USA, so by the time I got the mail & email, it was too late to resolve, the policy would be canceled & my account blocked for failing to provide all the photo & document evidence that had been requested while I was out of town. I deliberately only used my phone as a camera while on this road trip & refrained from using internet access & wanted to be offline, as part of a Be In Health Ministries retreat. I already had a Geico account for our 20 Yamaha MT-03 & 13 Honda PCX-150, respectively. I contacted Geico chat support to merge the car insurance & motorcycle insurance into a single online login, it was supposedly sent to technical support, so I will have to check back on that. I like Geico, very reasonable rates, factually less than I was paying Metromile for the exact same coverages :) 

Evolutionary Theory Garbage

As a scientist, I am part of a growing number of scientists worldwide that reject the descent with modification principle of Neo-Darwinian theory of evolution. To understand why evolutional theory garbage at the macromolecular scale, you must examine the issues of biochemistry, DNA & the epigenetic mechanisms of molecular machinery assembly. You must also consider that an organ like the human eye composted of multiple complex discrete systems interacting that would be impossible to develop by mutation drift with microscopic changes of microevolution & require what might as well be called a miracle of spontaneous emergent complexity. 

Money an Empty Idol

Imagine yourself on a large island with limitless money. You can buy anything you want, online, it will be air dropped magically. You can have the coolest house, the best sports car, its a large island with paved roads like the Isle of Man, and you have an endless food supply & fresh water supply, but you are the only person alive. You cannot share your experience with anyone else. No friends & no family, all alone in this universe, on your private island. What value does money have in this context? Can you enjoy existence isolated from other people? 

Aging a Disease

You can grow older while staying younger on the inside using special tricks for a health lifestyle. Going to be earlier & not using artificial light & screens to stay up late for example. Drinking enough water & limiting ethanol & caffeine intake to stay well hydrated. Eating healthy fats & enough fiber to promote good digestion, while limiting carbohydrate & sugar intake to sparingly consume moderation. Think "Sugars" ok to fuel sports & heavy duty activities, but bad for people who move little or have impaired mobility. Sedentary lifestyle promotes disease formation, as does the standard American Diet or SAD, a hallmark of dietary imbalances typical of diseases of civilization.
