I just talked to a friend of mine, a nurse. She actually leads "healthier living" groups at a VA hospital, trying to help people eat healthier and get more exercise.
She was pretty skeptical about the changes. "Whole fat milk!", scary!
Yes, we've had the carnivore discussion. I don't engage on that topic anymore.
I think ESPECIALLY if people work in health care - unless they're skeptical, open-minded and curious - they've had 50 years of propaganda telling them that whole milk, meat, butter, etc, are unhealthy. They're not going to turn on a dime, or indeed ever.
Really interesting, thanks for the comment. If you'd ever want to explore that in more detail, I think lots of people would be interested, I certainly would.
And...yes, tallow is much more expensive. However at a personal/home level, it can be super cheap. Far cheaper than butter.
How's that? Here's what I do. I buy beef fat trimmings from a local grocery store. I only pay $0.49 a pound, and sometimes they give it away.
I render the fat trimmings into tallow. So overall, with maybe 50 percent waste, I'm paying $1/lb.
Feeling purposeless and without a "place to go, things to do" can hit lots more people than trust fund babies. Retired people without a good idea of what they want to do post-retirement can also feel at a loss, and without value to society.
Interesting article. The Macular Degeneration, which caused him to go blind, is apparently cause by long-term consumption of vegatable oils. My aunt went blind from this disease - avoiding vegetable oils can prevent it
I don't trust Peter McCormack at all since his relentless pro-covid vaccine ranting in 2021/2022.
Where there any other bitcoiners that were like this? As far as I know, he was the only one.
A huge flaw like this in his judgement = zero trust for a lifetime.
Count me in as one of those people who've transformed via carnivore. I've written it up in stacker news quite a bit. Here's some of those posts.

My fasting was always 2 or 3 days. I think once I went to 4 days.
I absolutely dreaded it. I know some people love it, and get a fasting "high", and lots of mental clarity. Not me, I just watched cooking videos.
There were definitely some interesting things that happened, though. For instance - eyes become completely white, no red veins anywhere. Inflammation going down, or maybe autophagy?
I've been catching up on some of Candace Owen's stories on Brigitte Macron. To summarize - there's a lot of evidence that Brigitte Macron is actually a man, who's undergone gender surgery.
It's a very, very weird story, but the more I listened - there really does seem to be a LOT of evidence for it.
The implications are absolutely insane.
Back when I fasted (I'm doing carnivore now, I like it lots more) I would sit down with the family during meals. It didn't really bother me, and it's a lot more social.
I used to spend a lot of time thinking about fasting, planning and scheduling a fast. And I always dreaded it. Fasting has obvious benefits, but it's not sustainable, obviously, and not a life-long habit. Carnivore is much, much easier than regular fasting for me, and the benefits are enormous.
Worse - an incompetent micromanager, who thinks they know more than you, and then you have to fight their bad ideas.
I think that in many cases, they don't try very hard to keep people alive because of all the profit involved in organ donation.
If you're really interested, check out this interview with Will Boytim on the Tom Woods Show: https://tomwoods.com/ep-2665-we-saved-our-son-by-ditching-the-hospital/
His baby son "drowned", and was supposedly brain dead. The hospital pressured them strongly to NOT pursue any treatment, and instead allow for his organs to be harvested.
Will fought back, pursued treatment, and is now exposing what happened. He created the site https://drownedbaby.org/.
His son is now mostly fine, with some delayed fine motor skills.
Wow, that's so creepy and evil. The glorification of the euthanasia/organ donation combo.
This whole topic first came on my radar when I heard an interview with a man whose baby nearly drowned. He eventually found treatment that worked, and his son is doing fine. But the hospital, instead of helping his son with treatments, just pushed for organ donation.
From https://drownedbaby.org/organ-donation/:
Shortly after Robert was revived and moved to the PICU we met the LifeGift vultures. They came into the room several times a day encouraging organ donation with all sorts of catchy phrases and euphemisms. They even offered to throw a ‘Life Party’ if Robert didn’t make it and we decided to donate his organs. We were still processing Robert’s accident and nowhere near giving up and their cheery presence and lack of hope in Robert angered us. I finally told them that Robert’s organs would go in the grave with him, to get out and not to come back.
I think it would be really interesting to learn about the financial incentives here. I'll bet they're very dirty.
BTW the deep dive specifically on this topic starts around minute 28.

Thank you. Do you happen to know if Rizful.com should work, for an LNURL authentication? I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere, here in Stacker.news.
I'm pasting in the address I get from the "Sign up with Lightning" screen in Stacker.new to my Rizful setup (in the "send payment" screen").
But then Rizful says "Please enter a valid Lightning invoice or address."
Do you think it's more about FOSS expenditure, or more about increased control?
Yeah, still, feels like the walls are closing in.
Yes, I wonder what the process is like, for taking a dot org site down.
I'll bet there's lots of companies putting lots of money into that effort...
