For satfat, don't miss the context.

I took the premise of this sub out of context and too far.

Firstly, I'm fully onboard against CI:CO.

Saturated fat satiates. PUFA causes damage. Especially oxidised. Saturated is safer from oxidation.

Because of this I don't worry too much about eating too much fat.

That's mostly been OK. I still haven't ballooned to USA levels, while living in Asia.

But while that's fine in the lab or in the context of Keto, this isn't what I've actually been doing.

In all instances, the reality is that mixing fat with carbs, or even sugar. We know that isn't good.

For coconut fat, I tend to have it with coconut water. That has some sugar in it.

For beef, I'm getting iron with that and my iron free iron levels are getting too high.

For dairy, that seems to make me fat too. It always comes with some sugars. Sometimes it comes with inflammatory proteins. Even A2 seems to make me fat. Goat too.

If I had been only eating saturated fat, that might have been fine, but it's what you do with the knowledge.

Similar for PUFA, where the focus should be more on oxidation and getting vitamin E,

for saturated fat, this solves the problem of being an essential nutrient, but we don't need that much. Fibre and the gut can manufacture a lot of what we need from carbs and fiber.

That's where I've ended up in the practical sense with saturated fat now. I also think that omega 3 from fish is handy too. That seems to pair more nicely with fibre than saturated fat does.

Saturated fat doesn't seem to pair as well with a microbiome philosophy, but I do notice that milk seems to be easier to handle when fibre tolerance is better established.

Only about 25% to 50% of individuals convicted of child sexual abuse (CSA) are pedophiles (meaning they meet the psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia/paraphilic disorders). Sources below.

>Although this preference increases the risk of engaging in CSA, only about 50% of all individuals who do sexually abuse children are pedophilic (Blanchard et al., 2001; Schaefer et al., 2010) and not every pedophilic individual actually has abused children.

Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4478390/

>Recent estimates suggest that only 25-50% of individuals incarcerated for CSA offenses are actually pedophilic, for the majority of cases involve offenders without sexual attractions to children (Beier et al., 2015Schaefer et al., 2010Seto, Cantor, & Blanchard, 2006)

In addition to this, from a public health perspective, punitive measures only react after a victim has already been harmed.

Evidence-based harm reduction requires separating the clinical condition from the illegal act.

When non-offending individuals have access to confidential cognitive-behavioral therapy and medical support (like Germany's Kein Täter werden have demonstrated), we create systemic friction that intercepts harm BEFORE a disgusting boundary is crossed.

Demonizing the medical condition itself discourages early intervention and preventative measures and directly undermines community safety and future potential unfortunate victims.

Being a pedophile is *not* interchangeable for being a sexual abusers or rapists. There are overlaps, but that overlap is smaller than you might think.

All brokers forced to use passkeys and remove 2FA?

This caught my eye from a broker:

“The SFC has issued a circular requiring large internet brokers, including Interactive Brokers, to enforce phishing-resistant authentication for all client account logins immediately. 

To comply with this requirement, we are in the process of rolling out passkey authentication for all client accounts and trading access. This means your current method of two-factor authentication ("2FA") will have to be replaced with passkey. 

Switching to passkey is simple and will result in more effective protection against phishing attacks. 

You can enroll in passkey immediately via the User ("head/shoulders" icon) > Settings > Security > Secure Login System section in Client Portal or act upon the pop-up message that will appear over the upcoming weeks when you log in to a trading app or the Client Portal. 

Please note that the switch to passkey is a regulatory mandate and with rare exception, will be required to access your account.”

Best iSUP bag?

Mine's breaking. Would like something with a zip that isn't going to break, and ideally something better than literally just a bag with a zip and straps?

What do you use? I looked at ruggedised options, but the entry into the bag is restricting. Many SUP bags you can just unzip all the way and then you've got it all there, easy to access.

This would be my main luggage for taking on the plane. I don't want wheels; I find that adds too much bulk.

100L massive backpack for watersports at the destination?

I have a bag like the one pictured at the top.

It's been surprising how useful having that one simple zip all the way around has been. The drawback has been that everything slides to the bottom of the bag. There's no way to hang things from the top. No frame.

My question is: Do any of you hike with massive bags? Personally I like the extra weight if balanced, but the bigger a bag is then the more unbalanced it gets, so I generally try to keep it the same weight as a normal bag.

But when I see soldiers carrying these massive bags I wonder if I should switch to that kind of system. At the minimum I need to add a hip strap to save my hiking posture.

I've seen these external frame systems, but I'm not sure what bag to pair them with?

G10, E26 and strip lighting

Does exactly the same apply to general lighting as it does for screen tech?

The fittings I have are mostly G10. I’m not sure I trust LED bulbs marked “low flicker“, but I can only detect flicker when it’s extreme.

I have a school and I also want to improve this at home for general lighting and also for lighting a Modos eink screen.

Where to start? I would normally point an AI at something like this subreddit and query that way, but Reddit blocks my bot.

Is there a brand that is always Ok in terms of general lighting or is incandescent the only reliable way? I have an alcove so incandescent would be a fire risk up there anyway and it’s a strip anyway. anything I’m missing ?

The walls

I'm a pretty happy person, but this message I'm about to give could lead to nihilism, so I've sat on this observation for a while now. However, after reading this sub for a while, I've realised that this might not be inevitable.

I see the walls of this reality's prison. They adjust in response to our mental world.

Have you noticed the degradation of art and music?

Classic Rock → Progressive Rock → Punk Rock → New Wave → Old School Hip-Hop → Gangsta Rap → Mumble Rap, Classical → Romantic → Impressionist → Expressionist → Dada → Pop Art → Postmodern

Have you noticed that as technology progresses, there's always a downside following along with a delay. That delay correlates to how well we understand it. I believe that is the mind adjusting. It's slow, but it gets there in the end.

Our mental processes appear to destroy good things. Social media was fine in the very beginning, but over time the mind adapts and we just atrophy. It becomes negative.

Why is parenting so counter-intuitive? That is not normal. It is no progression.

Why are things in some sense much the same price as in roman times? There is no progression.

In fact, is it really normal as to how our muscles break down if we don't use them. Why is that normal evolution? What is the advantage in that? To save energy, yes: but what I'm pointing out is a bigger pattern.

We learn to read and write, our memory gets weaker. We learn to use AI, our brains get weaker. Is this normal?

Or is this the walls of our prison we are seeing in real-time? Is this really normal?

The dark side, which I think some have realised, is that this same effect can even work in reverse, but only if we truly see the event as negative. The thing doing the enforcement is ourselves. When a country is destroyed, we see it as an investment opportunity. Things grow to revert back to the mean.

As population grows, food quality declines.

There is a self balancing effect in this world. Is it a computation saving method for foveted rendering? Possibly, but this is not based on what we can perceive, but closer to how positive or negative our viewpoint of things is.

This observation seems to be really strong and one of those things where once you see it, it's hard to unsee.

Related ideas could be ying/yang, prison planet / archons etc, simulation theory etc.

Using the right words in online discussions

I keep getting in trouble for using words that other people seems to have a different use for. It wasn’t like this in the past. I need to get updated.

In the past I could just update the word, but these days I ask these people for guidance and they just ignore me, silently downvote or whatever.

Can you help? I’ll give each example its own thread:

No change in breathing. Huh?

when I started years ago we had co2 and o2 tables. for safety you’d just do the o2 and that would be enough to enjoy.

now the advice is no breath training at all?

it seems ridiculous for dry training

we can improve o2 without co2 can’t we? is it really that dangerous if following an app?

it reminds me of the advice when I started surfing: never surf alone.

if I’d followed that I never would have gone and that would have been far more dangerous.

Diabolical night. Why sell hammocks with bug protection only on the top side?

Let this be a warning to you: Never commit to a night until you know for sure that you've got 360 protection and no skin contact to the outside at all.

I had the worst night of my life. I'm still itching a week later. Thousands of bites.

Mistakes:

- no spreader bar on the bug net

- sleeping bag doesn't stay in place

- sleeping mat doesn't stay in place

- no spreader bar on the hammock itself

- lack of long sleeve clothes

- no plan B

It turns out that all kinds of things can bite through a nylon hammock.

It turns out that a sleeping bag won't stay in place.

It turns out that getting out of the hammock for even a second to clip the mat or bag will result in even more bites.

It turns out that a spreader bar on the bug net is essential to get it away from face and legs.

It turns out that a spreader bar on the hammock itself would give a lot more space to move things around and fix some of this.

It turns out that some trees are more flexible than others and will sag over hours and not the 30mins you tested it for.

Zinc fixed it but just taking Zinc didn't!

I'll give more info when I have time. I just wanted to quickly get this off my chest.

I tried taking zinc, but it just made me feel sick. So I gave up on it!

Then I started getting other problems. I tracked these all down to iron and copper dysregulation.

I then did a protocol called HG7. That brought my iron down. The other symptoms went away. After a while even the POIS went away too.

I think if you want a simpler and safer way to do this, you could try decaf green tea extract with a small amount of zinc every day WITH FOOD. This might not sort the whole situation out completely, but this combo might help you get you out of the POIS. I'd give it at least 3 months to see if it does anything.

A lot of things lead back to zinc. Copper and iron interact with zinc and ALL 3 of those are low in soil and even lower thanks to farming and then also with pesticides added on top. So what I think is happening is that we get low in zinc from childhood and then the problems gets compunded with copper, iron and all the rest like magnesium. I reckon if babies got normal amounts of zinc before birth and onward that would offset many problems.

Good luck!

People HATE AI content. Partially human made content caught in the crossfire. Here's a way to draw the line.

You might spend an hour prompting an AI to collect data, analyse and then present it in a format that no human can.

When there is more input than output like this, that is human driven content IMHO, and that is perfectly OK with me!

What I don't like is when someone gives a short INPUT and generates a lot of AI slop output. That is NOT ok with me.

This is where you can draw the line. You can use this input/output balance as your guide. I hope it helps.

<vent>

But people don't assess value. They just call it AI if they don't like what they're reading! They clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

So as a result, I can't share any of my research, because even if I look at the results in one window and type across to another by hand, I'm always under the threat of instant bot deletions on reddit. So it's not worth my time to take that risk.

Migration is class warfare. Not skin colour.

  1. after the plague, wealth was redistributed from the rich to the poor.
  2. the poor are not having children, so 3) the wealthy are importing workers.

4a) there is nothing about skin colour in this pattern. 4b) it is a way for the city to repress rural areas.

MacOS: Screenreader in target language, but keep text in original language just in case?

The sub auto filter prevents me mentioning specific languages, so I'll just refer to them as TL for language to be learned and NL for native language.

Have you seen the screen reader in things like MacOS? It can read back what you are seeing. Pretty useful, especially if you can't read the language you are learning.

However, the built-in screen reader appears to always read what it sees and not translate.

Is there a screen reader that will translate to do a voice over of what it is seeing? It seems like an easy way to get some input.
