Antibiotics Probably Come With Associated Costs. Anyone Doing Accounting?
I’m viciously selective about the TED videos I watch. 90% + are stupid, worthless, bla bla, or worse and all. I look upon TED as I go gold mining. Here’s one that caught my eye this morning, I watched, and wish to share. Worth the 15 minutes on a number of levels: Ramanan Laxminarayan: The coming……...
Read MoreCan You Win a Debate?
No! Not when it’s couched that way. People only come to your side when you’re not personally trying to persuade them; when it’s not in the context of: ‘I’m right and you’re wrong, and the only acceptable outcome is that you admit it.’ Rather, what you do is chip away at foundations, with a long……...
Read MoreIf you’re going to make money on your own, you must save for a rainy day
Hurricane Odile hit me hard, up here in San Jose, CA. Earthquakes have never cost me a dime. No flood has ever touched me. As a Navy officer, we skirted typhoons in the western Pacific and south China seas. I loved getting as close as possible. Green water over the bow is a sight to……...
Read MoreTeachers Unions Care About Teacher Tenure (Fuck-up Proof Jobs) and Budget Breaking Pensions…Not Students
Just get a load of this and get disgusted. I’m somewhat close to this, as my wife has been an elementary school teacher for 32 years. She still gets up at 5am every morning, though school doesn’t start until 8:30. And I rarely see her back home before 5pm (and often enough, 6-7pm), though school……...
Read MoreHigh Fat, Low Carb Ancestral Appropriate Diet Update
…Or, Fools Update. Take your pick. So glad I’m no longer part of that folklore. I wonder. Would these people climb 40 meters up a tree and endure bee stings for a slab of “back fat,” that mythical most prized challis of Paleoman?… This is a preview. The complete post is for Monthly, Quarterly,…...
Read MoreQuick Erection Update: 2014 Midterm Foolishness
I literally only just heard that that the Republicans took the Senate and now have majorities in both houses. Well, with a Democrat in the White House, hopefully there will be enough gridlock to keep the rubber checkbook somewhat tightened. I recall getting fooled once. It was 20 years ago, the 1994 midterms where, I……...
Read MoreI Loath General Covens of Ineptitude; And The Inept Generally Run Paleo
How many Paleo Gurus have switched out an engine in a car? Or, did their own tuneups, even filing points in the distributor cap and re-gaping spark plugs? How many know fuckall about how to remodel a house, do plumbing, electrical, basic carpentry, and wall finishing? I once added $350K of value to a house with……...
Read MorePodcast: I Get Uppity About Stuff
New podcast. With Danny Lennon, Sigma Nutrition. Episode 32: Richard Nikoley of FreeTheAnimal.com is on the show talking about the problems with dogmatic view around low-carb, ketogenic and paleo diets. We also discuss the importance of the microbiome and the emergence of resistant starch and prebiotic fiber as a means to imrpove gut health. [Note:……...
Read MoreErection Day For The Impotent
Nothing disgusts me more than a human animal that seeks to live at the expense of another by proxy, rather than just killing them themselves, starting a fire, and getting a rotisserie going. Fuck every “voter.” Worthless and pathetic. They are the core of all social problems. What would happen if they held an election……...
Read MoreStupid People Who Starve The Gut Microbiome Get Confirmation Bias Via the NYT
Stupid comment from a fucktard (“Sky”), this morning: This GREAT article from the NY Times makes it all moot: http://nyti.ms/1wnTfZy Enough of the splitting hairs while trying to distinguish and separate your own beliefs/agendas from the others. The bottom line: Follow a LCHF diet while trying to keep the carbs (especially the processed kind) from……...
Read MoreSunday Church For Animals: Embrace Chaos; It Drives Evolution
“I did what I did for the good of the realm.” “The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It’s the thousand blades of Aegon’s enemies; a story we agreed to tell each other—over and over, ’til we forget that it’s a lie.” “But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie?……...
