So while I don't disagree with the spirit of this video, I've come to distrust Matt and that youtube channel as a reliable source of information. https://undecidedmf.com/episodes/why-seaweed-could-be-the-fu...

Have a link for that info where you can be location independent on Starlink for 99 USD/month? I’m all ears.

https://www.starlink.com/business From their own website, also currently the only way to ‘buy it now’ so to speak. Also the only way to get the main benefit of Starlink, internet service independent of geographic location.

That is the ‘wait in line and you may get it eventually’ version. The ‘I want it now’ version is priced at 2500 USD up front and 500 USD/month thereafter. I don’t consider things that are on a waitlist for ? long as ‘available for purc

I'm very skeptical of anything Elon says on twitter with regards to timelines or capability of anything he's building. My view on this 'announcement' is -- Possible? Yes. Economical at scale? Likely not. Even Starlink V1

Literally everything Richard Feynman ever put to voice, start with the audio version of his published works and move on to the Feynman Lectures. Listend to all of them on my multiple coast to coast (USA) drives, and can't reccomend &#x

Thank you for posting that. Epic read, amazing sense of humor, and I feel like I owe James a beer or three after reading it.

And even then… it really doesn’t answer what exactly ‘Helix’ is. A subscription service? An API? How do I interact with it? What’s the value add? What’s the use case? Why would I even want this thing?

by TimSchumann 4y ago
Nothing on the page linked even describes what ‘Helix’ is, much less why I would want it. That whole site seems like excessive marketing fluff written by someone who’s been living and breathing whatever this project is for years. Assume I h

I think there may be many a use case where the data being operated on cannot be shared with third parties.

I'm not even positive that was the 'state of the art knowledge' on this even then. I think it was just the news doing news things. I highly doubt the chemists and physicists who built that precision engine would have been abl

Yeah, my weight loss was around 1.3 lbs or 600 grams daily. I'm a large human though.
79.
by TimSchumann 4y ago
I averaged 1.3 lbs/day for the entire length of my 60 day fast, and the first two weeks were much higher weight loss than usual. I can see 18kg in 18 days depending on what size you are. Of course 2-4kg will be water weight and another

I'm really surprised at the number of people in this comemnt thread who think going a week without food will kill you. I don't even think it will harm any healthy adult in any way, much less kill them.

by TimSchumann 4y ago
I think, to the best of my understanding, most of what you've said is correct. This is also why I always use blood ketone meters rather than urine strips. Apologies for not including that, I guess I just assumed it was common knowledge

Once-ish a week there was Light lifting, think moving a whole trees worth of firewood or a light day on a family farm. Quite frequently I hit over 10k steps/day on my step tracker, sometimes double that. I live in the middle of a major

by TimSchumann 4y ago
Exactly right, to all of this advice. I believe I say multiple times in this thread nobody should just jump in and do 60 days, however I believe anyone (caveat-ed up thread) can 'jump in' and do 7 days at any point in their life.

I lost zero noticeable lean muscle mass on my 60 day fast, at least no more than I would have sitting on the couch doing nothing. There's just not a metabolic pathway for breaking down muscle/organ tissue for energy when you have

by TimSchumann 4y ago
I feel 100% confident, based on my experience, in saying that almost any healthy adult has the ability to fast for 7 days without any negative consequences to their short term or long term health. In fact, I'd say there's only pos

This is actually my understanding of it as well, though I kind of arrived at the conclusion on my own pulling from various sources and experience. People think about fat as if they have access to it all, but it's a surface area per uni

by TimSchumann 4y ago
Correct. Which, for the record, I would never repeat and wasn't what I now consider safe. Electrolyte supplementation on an extended fast is important, and I drank way _way_ too much water in the early weeks of that fast, which is also

Agree. I notice zero lean body mass loss while fasting. At least no more than I would just sitting on the couch doing nothing.

by TimSchumann 4y ago
Not sure why I’d pass out from just not eating, I had plenty of body fat on me for the entirety of the fast. I wasn’t starving myself. Estimating by weight loss my metabolism was still burning well over 2500kcal daily at the end of the fast
