Th3 Core

Interesting talk, I agree with most of what he says.  One thing I think I disagree with a lot of Keto'ers about is that I think calories do matter.  The magic of low carb is not that fat can't make you fat, but rather that fat and protein have a feedback loop that is missing with refined carbohydrates.  When you over eat with natural sources of food there is a feedback loop, your body lets you know you are full and you will not get hungry again until you need to eat.   It is a lot easier to over eat with carbs.  This is why people have similar results with isocaloric studies, but different results in the real world.

My personal thoughts have evolved over the years.  I was pretty hard core keto for a lot of years, now I feel like most whole foods that are killed or taken directly off of a plant/tree are OK to eat (perhaps with the exception of some tropical fruit).

His point about not being able to exercise off weight is so right no.  I see poor souls walking on treadmills for years who haven't lost any weight, if they could just stop eating the grain/sugar/PUFAs they'd be all right.  BTW, the risks of PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) aren't getting enough attention.

I never experienced anything like that living close to a fault line in Berkeley

I take it you weren't here in 89?

I hope its an isolated event Bill.

Odd physics huh?

I've seen other videos from this guys channel.  He inherited an old mine.  Some of the mercury he has is left over from the mining processes and then he bought some more from people he knew were also in the mining business.  He handles the stuff all the time, sometimes even exposes his skin directly.  He claims that he gets his blood mercury levels tested often.

Not sure it has made me any more or less miserable, but I do like
 - having more time to be bored and ponder and process
 - not feeling that twitch like maybe something happened and I should be checking my news feeds.

Those sound like worthy reasons for the changes to me.

Regarding your last point, maybe control should be replaced with influence.

OK, not a classic, also apparently not in the living room.  Half Moon Bay is usually a pretty sleepy town.

No doubt, but just a shy more than MS products.

I agree that there is a lot of scamming going on, and dumb money chasing smart money.  Yet, I think it will eventually get established.  Blockchain is an interesting technology.   IMO, a crypto currency that is backed by a tangible asset, say redeemable by gold, has long term real-world potential.

Investigations by the Sunday Times and the Observer newspapers revealed the Leave campaign’s biggest backer, businessman Aaron Banks, met with Alexander Yakovenko, the Russian ambassador to the U.K., at least three times in the months leading up to the vote to exit the European Union, and even invited him to a Brexit results party in Westminster.

Banks also exchanged emails with the embassy and other Russian officials, including Alexander Udod, a diplomat who was subsequently expelled from the U.K. over the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
