@coookwithchris Amazing post. And just because it’s sourdough, it doesn’t mean it’s fermented dough. Only a very small portion.

@jaltucher one of the best quotes i have read in a long time. amazing perspective!

Just because one has an opinion, it doesn't mean they are political. I am an optimist. In all of history there has never been any upside to being a pessimist. If you look for opportunity, you will find it. If you don't, you won't.

@KiranManral @hubermanlab Agreed.

What I find incredible is that the younger generation, my son who is 21 and his friends, are so incredibly health and fitness oriented, at least his inner circle. No alcohol, no vape, no cigarettes, no other stuff. Just a strictly healthy diet and working out. At their age we were getting wasted every other day.

Remember when they used to say that drinking some wine was good for your health and actually better than not drinking alcohol? Now everyone pretty much agrees that no alcohol is best. What a ridiculous amount of back-and-forth that took. Do as you wish but know what you’re doing.

@jaredvastine @hubermanlab I used to think it lessened my stress…

@hubermanlab I think it's more nuanced. If adding some wine or alcohol to your diet gets you to a more healthy calorie intake, it's probably good. If adding alcohol lessens your stress, it's probably healthy.

@hubermanlab Quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it hundreds of times. Mark Twain

Lots of questions re nicotine. Here’s the deal: smoking, vaping, dipping, snuffing, not good. Cause cancer, shorten your life etc. Nicotine itself: acts as stimulant w/calming effects too (unusual). Addictive. Elevates BP. MAY be neuroprotective. Would not use daily.

@hubermanlab @naval @joerogan @JonnyKimUSA @jockowillink Love this list. @naval on Rogan was truly legendary.

Assembling a top 10 ever podcast episodes list. Thus far I’ve got @naval on @joerogan and @JonnyKimUSA on @jockowillink podcast in the top 2. These are transformative conversations. I have 3-10 selected too. Let me know your favorites.

@SelfMadeMastery @BakingSteel changed my home pizza game

What's something you've purchased for under $100 that's made the biggest impact in your life? Whatever the most common answer is, I'm buying it!

@RascalTweets Brilliant.

If you fill your head with positive thoughts, there won't be any room left for negative ones.

@ZubyMusic @PizzeriaBianco

I'm going to Phoenix, Arizona for the first time next week. Anything worth seeing or doing?

@elonmusk I am going to move my pizza making classes to X. Brilliant.

For those considering putting their work on the X platform, consider that Tucker Carlson’s show when he was on TV, had single digit million viewers. Strong by legacy news standards. Views for his episodes on X now exceed the population of the United States. Talk to Earth via X!

@syncros @BakingSteel That is a beauty

Consistency is the key. I've stopped experimenting with pizza dough and standardized on this 72hr cold fermented recipe from @AndrisLagsdin at @BakingSteel and it's great week after week and easier to make than you think. Kiddo says it's better than any delivery 👍

@yorudan You will love them both ;)

@AndrisLagsdin Ya, thanks again! Not sure if I'll be scooping up some fontina next, or a baking steel, ha ha. But they're both on the list~

So happy you enjoyed. Thanks for coming.

@RichardHeartWin @pmarca Well said

@pmarca Congrats. Sobriety is a superpower.

On Pausing Alcohol "Always carry a flask of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake." -- W. C. Fields About six months ago, I stopped drinking alcohol. I feel much better, and I’m mad as hell about it. I never really drank through my 20s and 30s, but grew to really enjoy whiskey through my 40s, coincident with “Mad Men”, and roughly a thousand academic studies that proved that alcohol is actually good for you. Win/win! I had read that the sure sign of an alcoholic is someone who drinks at night, by himself, at home, so I decided to only drink at night, by myself, at home. I was even scurrilously quoted as saying “the perfect day is 10 hours of caffeine followed by 4 hours of alcohol”, which I did indeed say, and which is still indeed true. Unfortunately, in recent years, it’s become clear that most or all — probably all — of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects. As Michael Crichton says, “wet streets cause rain”, or rather wet streets don’t cause rain. It turns out that sick people often don’t drink, or subjects just lie to researchers about their consumption outright. There go the studies. It is now pretty definitively clear that no amount of alcohol is good for you. Andrew Huberman recently summed this conclusion up on his podcast; the topic made me so enraged I never listened to the episode, but I did read the notes. Andrew says “the best amount of alcohol to drink is no alcohol” — imagine someone who both hates and loves humanity that much. Since I stopped drinking, I feel much better. I don’t need as much sleep, but my sleep is better. I’m more alert through the day. I’m cogent and focused at all times. I have more energy when I exercise, and it’s easier to control my diet. It’s great, and I am super mad about it. I feel like the color has drained out of my evenings[*]. Spending time with people is still fun, but now it’s hard to sit still and watch a movie or read a book and unwind at the end of a hard day. I’m more prone to just work until bedtime. Grump grump grump. Frankly, I don’t know what Elon is doing farting around with cars and rockets and Twitter, why doesn’t he solve THIS problem[**]. And one of these days, I am going to get deeply, seriously, hammered. But not today! [*] A lot of people I know are substituting cannabis or hallucinogens for alcohol. I’m not, I won’t touch any of those things — a topic for another time. [**] I’ve been trying all the alcohol free whiskeys, wine, and beer. So far, no luck on the whiskeys. For wine, Sovi is pretty good. For beer, there are quite a few good choices; I’ve become partial to Hopwtr, which is zero calorie hop-flavored sparkling water. I’m still not drinking either at breakfast, though I am tempted.

@pmarca I turned 50 and removed alcohol from my life. Didn’t think life would be fun without. Huge miscalculation. I get a full 24 hours a day now. Sober living rocks.

@amssvs @pizzatherapy Hi Anthony, the Baking Steel Original transfers energy 20 x than a stone. Which turns any old home oven into a powerhouse. the @BakingSteel works with both gas and electric ovens.

@pizzatherapy @AndrisLagsdin Baking steel? Tell me / us more.

I have used many pizza stones over the years, with good results but the ultimate way to cook pizza is with a Baking Steel... ask @AndrisLagsdin
