@RoguesPhilo A big horse has to work harder just to carry his own weight.

Imagine how the Mongols conquered the world on our tiny, Central Asian horse breeds.
The average horse here is roughly 4.5 feet tall and weighs 500 - 600 lbs.
Today, I swapped out my horse, Sun Eater, to test drive one of our smallest horses, "Ponchyk" aka Donut.
Ponchyk is the secondary horse of our frontier hunter. The hunter is the most terrifying man I have ever met. He's roughly 6'5 with piercing yellow/golden eyes. He lives year-round as a nomad with just two horses, a tent, a Dragon SVT rifle, and a box of bullets.
Ponchyk is expected to live in altitudes between 3,000 - 5,000 meters above sea level and has been known to port a maximum of 3 ibex carcasses at one time (so the nomads claim).
He was the best horse I've ever ridden to both ascend and descend mountains. Very impressed.

@thepowerofozone Organic is just what they call it once the soil has been drained of all it's nutrients and it's no longer worth growing conventional crops on it.

Copper sulfate is used in organic farming.

@DavidWolfe Cancer is a lie to sell you expensive treatment, nothing more.
The cure is never getting tested in the first place. You should not trust medical industry to tell you that the sky is blue.

Do you believe there’s a cure for cancer that’s being hidden from the public? 🤔

@HomesteadAmeric Sugar is worse than crack.
Only difference sugar is easy to get and cheap, the moment sugar becomes scarce people will do the wildest shit to get some.

@jonbrooks Sounds like you called the wrong number and got a salesman instead of a repairman.

Everyone keeps saying “go into the trades.”
I get it — but here’s my real experience:
Called a local company to fix an icemaker on a 2007 fridge that still runs great.
Tech shows up. Takes a picture. Can’t fix it.
Charges $99 just for showing up.
Then quotes me $1,300 to replace the icemaker.
So I do what everyone can do now:
I ChatGPT the model number.
In 2 seconds:
• Exact replacement part
• Direct phone number
• Cost: $300 Installation?
2 screws. 10 minutes.
I’ll do it myself.
Same thing happened with my pool heater: Repair guy quoted $2,000. I bought the part directly and fixed it myself for under $200.
The problem isn’t the trades.
It’s that information asymmetry is gone — and some businesses haven’t realized it yet.

@KetoCarnivore @kadavy For me this was just a fast acting remedy. I just relied on it daily. Probably pushed it too far at times. I'd look at this as more of a tool to use intermittently to break old habbits, than something to rely on daily. I think the same about supplementing electolytes.
English
@copperthiever @kadavy I'm in camp "most people drink too much". But obviously sometimes people need more.
English
How did the human species survive so long without electrolyte supplements?

@Boomingbox Go contribute to local food production. You'll see why prices are like this.

Grocery prices are getting ridiculous. $2.49 a pound for potatoes. $5.99 a pound for tomatoes? $9.99 a pound for chuck roast, round steak, and ground beef.
A pot roast dinner for a family of 5 is going to cost $100.00.

@NiklausFuller I'm no expert, but let it grow tall before you start mowing.

@KetoCarnivore @kadavy Coming from LCHF/keto I was too scared to deplete electrolytes and never drank enough as a result on carnivore. I see too many people warning people "don't drink too much" "electrolyte depletion" and practically nobody puts any emphasis on water requirementd.
English
@copperthiever @kadavy ‼️ Really? Fascinating. After you were adjusted to no added salt did you then reduce fluid intake or did you maintain that?
English
@KetoCarnivore @kadavy 2 years 3-4l everyday, < 1g/week months at a time. Year 3 bile function improved suddenly and after 1-2l was enough and 2g salt per day became tolerable. When before it was like I was allergic to salt. I think it was kidney dysfunction among other systemic issues.
English
@KetoCarnivore @kadavy Drinking past thirst consistently is what allowed me to cut out added salt successfully for the first time.
High water intake and added salt restriction was the best remedy for indigestion and other problems that made strict carnivore very diffiicult the first few years.
English
@kadavy The answer is they didn’t have high plant intake or drink past thirst. Salt mining is a neolithic phenomenon.

@SawyerWhisler working 12h days in a field is a legit life hack to reduce existential dread. But gotta be outside with your fest in the dirt. It won't work stacking boxes in a warehourse or pushing buttons in an office.

@KenDBerryMD People should go expose themselves to sunlight all year round, no matter if it's cloudy, raining or snowing, it's not just about vitamin D.
English
Avoiding the sun is as dangerous as smoking.
Moderate daily sun on your skin lowers heart disease risk, improves circulation (NO), and beats vitamin D pills. Just don't burn.
Your body is built for regular sunlight exposure.

@BigDickBarclay That's why they ultimately want to chip your brain.

Do any mechanics want to hazard a guess as to how much a plug adapter will cost to jumper all of this bullshit out? I fixed the start stop feature on my wife’s car with like a three dollar molex plug from China.

This is some insanely dystopian shit..... If you car doesn't think you're attentive enough, it will shut down. In 2027 all cars will be monitoring your every move and recording it. The systems must passively monitor the driver and intervene if impairment (alcohol, drowsiness, distraction) is detected. Key capabilities include: Infrared cameras and sensors (often on the steering column or A-pillar) to track: Eye movements, pupil dilation, gaze direction, and blink patterns. Head position and nodding. Behavioral analysis: Steering inputs, lane drifting, erratic movements. Possible passive alcohol detection (e.g., via skin contact or cabin air sensors to estimate blood alcohol concentration around the 0.08% legal limit). If impairment is flagged, the car can: Prevent ignition/startup. Limit speed or gradually slow the vehicle. Issue warnings (visual, audible, haptic).
English
@SBakerMD No idea. I don't believe we understand human mechanics enough to know which is better.
Knowing your own body and when to stop before hurting yourself is probably the most important thing.
English
Any opinions from seasoned Olympic lifters on the preference for 2nd pull? Catapult vs more upright? Granted very light weight here and some bar crash, but does an exaggerated back hyper extension or the intent to do so help or hurt as we get heavier?

@fOx1257067 Meat is meat. You will get accustomed to eating any kind of cut and learn to love it. I even stopped using spices and salt and after some time I discovered a whole new dimension of flavor in plain beef, everything else with strong flavors started to taste offensive in comparison.
