@SamaHoole I cut back on salt and seasoning. Yeah, at first my steak seemed flavorless and bland. Now I really like it. I enjoy tasting the steak alone. Delicious.

Salt and electrolytes are among the most confidently prescribed carnivore advice on the internet. Top up your sodium. Take magnesium. Drink electrolyte sachets. Salt your water. Salt your meat. Salt everything or you will cramp and your heart will do something theatrical. Here is what nobody tells you: A meaningful number of people on carnivore feel significantly better when they quietly stop doing all of this. Better hydration. Better sleep. Fewer heart rate fluctuations. Fewer cravings. Less of that vague, low-level feeling that your body is asking for something it can't articulate. Why? Because your kidneys, operating on a species-appropriate diet for the first time in years, are capable of regulating sodium without you manually intervening. The system has not failed. The system has finally been given a chance to work. Will it be hard to eat unsalted meat if you've been salting everything for forty years? Yes. Your tastebuds will be briefly appalled and then, within two to three weeks, quietly impressed at how much flavour was already there. Salt is not essential carnivore infrastructure. For many people, it is interference. Try removing it before you conclude it's non-negotiable. Not a command. Just an experiment that's worth running.

@BuzzPatterson LGA at night, wet. LOTS of lights, taxiways everywhere, reflections. Unless they heard it on recorder, good chance they never saw the truck. And yeah, head on crash to sacrifice yourself for pax? That is utter and total BS. Sorry Steve.

Who knows who this lady is? And her significance to so many of the songs that you have heard over the years? Here's a hint - she played on an estimated 10,000 recordings spanning 65+ years. Her melodic, punchy lines which were often invented on the spot and powered hits such as: "Good Vibrations" and "California Girls," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On. Do you know her name and the incredible contribution to music history this lady provided? Oh and it was also her 91st birthday this week! Can you guess?

That sigh your dog just did? It’s 16,000 years old. Two studies published this week in Nature pushed back the genetic record of dog domestication by 5,000 years, detaching it entirely from the story of farming. The humans who first lived with dogs had no fields, no livestock, no permanent address. They were ice-age nomads, moving constantly across a frozen continent, and they had dogs with them anyway. Not for agriculture. Not for herding. Just because somewhere along the way, a wolf that wasn’t quite a wolf anymore sat down next to a human fire and stayed. The particular way your dog presses against your leg when something feels wrong, positions itself with a sightline to the door, watches you without watching you – that’s not a quirk. That’s a collaboration 16,000 years in the making, running without interruption through every plague, empire, and revolution since. Dogs are great. I love my dog. 🐕 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

🚨🐝 BEE APOCALYPSE: NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT ORDERS MASS BURNING OF PERFECTLY HEALTHY HIVES IN SHOCKING ATTACK ON FOOD SUPPLY! 🚨 Beekeepers in New Zealand are being brutally forced by authorities to burn their healthy, strong bee hives alive. “We’ve been told to burn healthy strong bee hives.” “Look at how healthy these bees are, no disease or anything.” Bees are quite possibly the most important insect to exist. It is not a coincidence they are now dying out rapidly with governments also persecuting beekeepers. All part of the same evil agenda. This is no random policy. While bees pollinate one third of the world's food, entire thriving colonies are being torched under the excuse of "biosecurity." No mercy, no real compensation, just flames destroying years of work and millions in value. They claim it's to stop disease, yet keepers show frame after frame of vigorous, disease free bees being sentenced to death. Why now? Why target the very creatures that keep our food chain alive? Because a world with abundant natural food cannot be fully controlled. Starve the bees, starve the people. Force everyone onto corporate GMO crops, lab made slop, and whatever scraps the elite decide to hand out. This is deliberate. This is war on nature and war on humanity. Collapsing bee populations worldwide plus government crackdowns on beekeepers equals one thing: engineered famine and total dependency. The agenda is unfolding in plain sight. Support local beekeepers now. Question every order that destroys what sustains life. Share this far and wide before they silence it. The bees are dying and so is our freedom. WAKE UP! 🐝🔥

The Husky@Mr_Husky1·
Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind. These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken. These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does? He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock. But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first? That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately. It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one. So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat. I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! Hallelujah!!

Everyone assumes this picture of Buttigieg is him eating a chicken wing, and that's because he's biting in a way to engage his "rip-the-flesh-from-the-bone" front teeth, so we fill in "chicken wing" to make it make sense. But what he is actually eating is a small piece of a cinnamon roll, and our brains just can't comprehend biting into a small piece of dough that way. It's like an alien took over a human body and is unfamiliar with the subtleties of how it works.

RE: Thoughts for ETSing Military Members One of the great misconceptions I had as a career Army officer was the conceit that the day I retired I was fully qualified to run a business—any business. I knew I had great management and leadership skills. I figured all I needed to do was take a one credit accounting course and I was ready to roll as a CEO. I know many of my peers felt the same way. Gosh were we all wrong. As I culminate my second career as a corporate lawyer, I realize that this is a message I should share with career military NCOs and officers who are facing an upcoming ETS date. YES, you have excellent management and leadership skills. YES, you have dealt with stress that most people will never experience. All of these skills and experiences DO give you a leg up on being a business leader—they do. But let me tell you ten incredibly important things the military never taught you: 1. Profit and loss. No profit? No business. 2. Managing personnel under the incredibly complex web of state and federal employment and HR policies and laws. 3. Accounting. You need to deeply understand balance sheets, profit/loss statements & statements of cash flows. (If your business is big enough, a good CFO matters.) 4. Navigating the myriad of exceptionally complex corporate and securities laws that govern any business entity. 5. Dealing with employees who expect to be treated with kid gloves. That underperforming employee? You can’t tell him/her to drop and give you 20. 6. Creating a product or service that people ACTUALLY VALUE and therefore WANT TO PURCHASE. 7. Marketing and sales. You have to make people want to buy what you are selling. 8. Dealing with ruthless, cutthroat, no-holds-barred competition. 9. Keeping boards of directors and stockholders happy. 10. IT. Maybe you did IT stuff in the military, but running digital commerce for the average civilian is not the same thing. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing this to tell you to not be overconfident when you take off the uniform and put on a suit. You DO possess management and leadership skills that are a valuable and rare commodity. But be honest about what you don’t know, and study up on it. Take classes. Educate yourself. Read. Assemble a team of advisors who will walk the walk with you—a good accountant; a good business lawyer; a good financial advisor; regulatory compliance specialists in your business area; PR, marketing and IT advisors. Trust and rely on these people. Most especially, be honest about what you don’t know. If you are starting out working for someone else, don’t blow smoke in an interview—be confident about your strengths, but don’t pretend to know what you don’t know. You have done amazing things in uniform. If you train yourself in the areas the military did not train you in, you WILL succeed in business. Good luck.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

You know when I knew military service didn’t suck? When I had to fly a mission at 4 AM Germany time and the Air Force opened the dining hall at Ramstein to serve me and my crew breakfast. We had a 24 hour day in front of us. We were the only ones there. They did a full spread, omelets to order, eggs anyway, creamed beef on toast, etc. And the coffee was good! Aim High!

Someone just poisoned the Python package that manages AI API keys for NASA, Netflix, Stripe, and NVIDIA.. 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine. The attacker picked the one package whose entire job is holding every AI credential in the organization in one place. OpenAI keys, Anthropic keys, Google keys, Amazon keys… all routed through one proxy. All compromised at once. The poisoned version was published straight to PyPI.. no code on GitHub.. no release tag.. no review. Just a file that Python runs automatically on startup. You didn’t need to import it. You didn’t need to call it. The malware fired the second the package existed on your machine. The attacker vibe coded it… the malware was so sloppy it crashed computers.. used so much RAM a developer noticed their machine dying and investigated. They found LiteLLM had been pulled in through a Cursor MCP plugin they didn’t even know they had. That crash is the only reason thousands of companies aren’t fully exfiltrated right now. If the code had been cleaner nobody notices for weeks. Maybe months. The attack chain is the part that gets worse every sentence. TeamPCP compromised Trivy first. A security scanning tool. On March 19. LiteLLM used Trivy in its own CI pipeline… so the credentials stolen from the SECURITY product were used to hijack the AI product that holds all your other credentials. Then they hit GitHub Actions. Then Docker Hub. Then npm. Then Open VSX. Five package ecosystems in two weeks. Each breach giving them the credentials to unlock the next one. The payload was three stages.. harvest every SSH key, cloud token, Kubernetes secret, crypto wallet, and .env file on the machine.. deploy privileged containers across every node in the cluster.. install a persistent backdoor waiting for new instructions. TeamPCP posted on Telegram after: “Many of your favourite security tools and open-source projects will be targeted in the months to come.. stay tuned.” Every AI agent, copilot, and internal tool your company shipped this year runs on hundreds of packages exactly like this one… nobody chose to install LiteLLM on that developer’s machine. It came in as a dependency of a dependency of a plugin. One compromised maintainer account turned the entire trust chain into a credential harvesting operation across thousands of production environments in hours. The companies deploying AI the fastest right now have the least visibility into what’s underneath it.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران
پست فارسی دوستای عزیزم. باهاتون صحبت مهمی دارم. گرد بشینید لطفا. پرزیدنت دلها، عمویم ترامپ، هرگز قرار نبود برای ما رژیم‌چنج کنه. انقلاب شیر و خورشید رو جوونهای ما تو ۱۸ و ۱۹ دی‌‌ماه آغاز کردند و خودشون هم تمامش میکنند. از مذاکرات ترامپ با رژیم نگران نشید. کار هنوز تموم نشده. عمویم ترامپ گفت که «کمک» در راهه. شاهزاده همیشه گفت ما به یک نیرویی احتیاج داریم که تعادل ایجاد کنه، یک طرف مردم با دست خالی نباشند و یک طرف رژیم با تفنگ جنگی. ترامپ روز اول جنگ، وقتی خبر ساقط کردن خامنه‌ای رو داد، گفت که الان تو خونه بمونید، ساعات آزادیتون نزدیکه، وقتی کار من تموم شد، صحنه در اختیار شماست که سرنوشتتون رو در دست بگیرید. بزرگترین کمکی که ترامپ کرد، رسوا کردن رژیم در دنیا و ایزوله کردن پروپاگانداچی‌هاش بود. بزرگترین حامیان آخوند، که دهه‌ها روی خون مردم ایران پا میگذاشتند برای حفظ منافعشون، عربها، الان بزرگترین دشمنانشند. دیگه فقط اسراییل نیست. رژیم برای چین و روسیه، دیگه تبدیل به دردسر شده و نفعی نداره. رژیم الان یک ساختاریه که موریانه خوردتش، تمام زنجیره‌های تصمیم‌گیری و اجرا، سوراخ سوراخ شده. قدرت و توان رژیم برای سرکوب، با حضور برادران موسی در هوا، قابل قیاس با دی‌ماه نیست. از طرفی، شاهزاده همیشه گفته که با تمام مقامات اجرایی داخل رژیم که دستشون در خون نباشه، به شرط فاصله گرفتن از رژیم، مایل به همکاریه. به غیر از این هم نمیشه. سناریویی که تو عراق پیاده شد، بعثی‌زدایی، وقتی که کامل ساختار متلاشی شد، خلا قدرت و هرج و مرجی به بار آورد که شد آغاز مشکلات جدید. نیازی نیست همه چی رو بکوبیم و از نو بسازیم، کافیه که ایدئولوژی زدوده بشه از ساختار، و طبیعتا نهادهایی مثل سپاه که بناشون ایدئولوژی بوده کامل منهدم بشه. پرزیدنت ترامپ برای ما زحمات بسیاری کشید، ولی قدرت بی‌نهایت نداره و تقریبا با تمام دنیا در افتاد برای کمک به ما. کمکش رو انجام میده، اورانیوم غنی‌شده رو از دست رژیم میگیره، احتمالا موقتا جزایر جنوبی رو تحت کنترل میگیره، با یه نفر تو سیستم دیل میکنه و جنگ رو تمام میکنه. با به دست گرفتن کنترل جزیره خارک، رژیم دیگه نمتونه درامد داشته باشه، با گرفتن هرمز و جزیره‌های نزدیک تنگه هم، چاقو رو از جلو دست بچه برمیداره که کار احمقانه نکنه. در منطقه میمونه و چماق رو بالا سر رژیم نگه میداره. عمویم بی‌بی و اسراییلیهای نازنین هم که هرگز برای دقیقه‌ای حمایتشون رو ازمون دریغ نکرده‌اند. عمویم ترامپ، پاس گل رو به ما میده و ما گل میکنیمش. هشیار باشید، آماده باشید، پیام رو درست بخونید و تحلیل کنید، از مسیر خارج نشید، این فرصت رو با ناامیدی و درک اشتباه از دست ندیم. چشمتون به شاهزاده رضا پهلوی باشه، ما همه دیتاها رو نداریم ولی ایشون دارند و به گواه سالیان سال تجربه، بهترین کسی هستند که باید بهشون اعتماد کنیم که ما رو به پیروزی برسونند. ایران رو پس میگیریم، نه فورا ولی قطعا. ناامید نشید، حواستون پرت نشه، ما وارثین خون و خاکیم. چاره‌ای نداریم جز موفق شدن. #جاويدشاه‌ #انقلاب_شیروخورشید پی‌اس: من ایمپرشن فارسیم خیلی کمه، اگر میشه مرامی این پست رو ریتوییت بزنید ممنان میشم ❤️❤️❤️

I’m about to get married, and my fiancé knows I have an inheritance that was left to me by my grandparents. It’s in my name only, and I’ve been saving it for years. Now he’s saying that before we get married, I should put the entire inheritance into a joint account so we can “start fresh together,” or he doesn’t think we should go through with the wedding. I’m 36 already and this is something my family worked hard to leave me. I’m torn between wanting to build a life together and feeling like I’m being pressured to give up something important to me. What do you think I should do? By isitmeaitah
