Thing is, Four Hour Body is actually good advice! It’s basically keto plus some structured exercise. I topped at like 255 and was as low as 200 by following it pretty much to-the-letter. (Still under 220 today, which is more than I’d like but I’m too lazy to worry, I walk a dog for three miles a day, it’s fine.)

RETVRN to the wisdom of dr james salisbury

quote:

Eat the muscle pulp of lean beef made into cakes and broiled. This pulp should be as free as possible from connective or glue tissue, fat and cartilage. [...]

Previous to chopping, the fat, bones, tendons and fasciae should all be cut away, and the lean muscle cut up in pieces an inch or two square. Steaks cut through the centre of the round are the richest and best for this purpose. Beef should be procured from well fatted animals that are from four to six years old.

The pulp should not be pressed too firmly together before broiling, or it will taste livery. Simply press it sufficiently to hold it together. Make the cakes from half an inch to an inch thick. Broil slowly and moderately well over a fire free from blaze and smoke. When cooked, put it on a hot plate and season to taste with butter, pepper, salt; also use either Worcestershire or Halford sauce, mustard, horseradish or lemon juice on the meat if desired. Celery may be moderately used as a relish.

Imagine a healthy dinner with the following on the plate: a nice steak, a side salad with greens, tomato, etc. and dressing, and a dinner roll on the side. Not bad right?

Combine all of them onto one stacked pile and you have the components of the famously unhealthy food known as the Hamburger.

i keep hearing this point, and i keep wondering who the hell it is who has established in their mind that steak, dinner rolls, and dressing are part of a healthy meal.

i mean, all *fine*, but it is not some new health craze that red meat, white flour and what is basically just oil is not some kind of ideal. possibly a health craze trying to figure eating chunks of red meat *is* good, but if you're just going to convince yourself of things for convenience, sure, go ahead and imagine the burger healthy too.

there's a "healthy food" place on my delivery app and I try to order from them whenever I can't cook, instead of having pizza or whatever

mostly I take the salmon or chicken salads, but I've recently tried their burgers and they're exactly what you'd expect: a poo poo ton of veggies on both sides of the patty, very little dressing, thin wholegrain bread, and the most dry and lean beef patty I've ever had. they also fall apart pretty fast

in other words, there's little point in eating that food in burger format. I'll just try the beef salad if I want red meat

A professor at Harvard walked into his classroom holding a fresh hot Hamburger. He asked to the class, "who among you would say that this famous sandwich constitutes an Unhealthy dinner?" the students laughed nervously, and every student put up their hands in agreement, save for one lone student, who sat smiling.

"You there," he gestured to the dissenter, " you claim this Hamburger is healthy? Exceptional claims require expecitonal evidence my dear boy," he contiinued smirking hugely, "please come and prove it."

The student calmly walked up to the lectern and began to disassemble the Hamburger sandwich-- first removing the buns and placing them to the side of a plate where they became the simple Dinner roll. Next he removed the hamburger meat which , upon placement of the plate, seemed like nothing more than a cut of prime Sirloin steak. As for the toppings of the burger they formed no more than a side salad.

"Well done young man" said the professor, who was Albert einstein. He continued to say "Now what is your name?", asking the student.

"Im adolf hitler" replied the student

This felt like really let down release. I am usually the first one to upgrade iPhone no matter what but this year I felt no attachment to any of these "new" things. Just didn't cared at all.
The things I would have cared:

- Dual screen

- AR/3D photo/video features in phone

- Much better battery life

- Full satellite communication

- OS-wide AI features, massively upgraded Siri, AI-first mobile browser, auto-complete, spell+grammer check, rewrites

- Even more AI features: Better reader-mode, PDF mode, maps infused with AI, super-res videos with structure from motion, flower/bird/food/tree/everything ID, so on and on.

What's going on with Apple?

The 2020s were "Internet in your pocket" and 2030s should be "Super smart AI in your pocket". Apple product managers feel so completely out of touch.

This was THE prank we played at Uni in the computer labs. This was late 90s, when girls from the social sciences schools would go into the computer labs to check their email and poo poo.
So you turned their screen upside down, opened their tray and whatnot , then you would go their place and pretend to fix it (while your friend that was in charge of the lab actually fixed it).

It gave us nerds our 5 mins of "fame" with the ladies.

I'm guessing we'll return to the continuously showing movie. Well, more like the starting-any-time-you-want movie. As individual VR headsets are available in every seat, you could start the movie synchronized with just the people in your own party. Of course, there will have to be technological and/or social advantages over doing the same thing in your own home.

I can be a bit of an over-optimistic person, but I've always been of the opinion that mass extinction events are always going to occur without intervention and while humans certainly seem to have contributed towards speeding up the timeline heading towards the next extinction event, we're more importantly the only species with potential to mitigate these extinction events all-together.
Without humans extinction events will occur (at least history suggests this is the case). With humans, they might not. For all of our flaws, I think humans are the most beautiful species to come into existence. We have seemingly boundless potential.

Pedagogically, it would seem the answer to that would be to have the classroom be a computer lab on the first day of school, and then make the kids work (running laps, taking quizzes on having done the reading) before they earn the laptop to take home.

At risk of an avalanche of knee-jerk downvotes, I will suggest this angle:

'Inclusivity' is in vogue. It's a meme (Dawkins) which is so deep into the psyches of normies today it integrates into everything. Normie is the fish and inclusivity is the water.

What I think is being left on the side lines is 'exclusivity' not in class of product, but in intended customer. "KDE 3.5 is an advanced product, it was not meant for average users like you. Go check out $LATEST_GNOME, it also comes at a more affordable price too!" Sure you're going to turn off some customers, but what you're really saying is "you're not good enough to be within the set of intended users" and I think this dynamic can drive some users into saying "nuh uh I'm not some normie goy, gimmie gimmie gimmie!"

Well that's my shitter thought away, time to flush this turd!
