Somewhere in between all of this, we also started rethinking Darkbloom from the ground up, positioning, new website, new design and a pretty crazy video in the works.
This is still the beginning!
Many many many more things lined up!
Skyr is minimally processed
I recommend using the NOVA scale, it's a great way to figure out if your food is clean or not, and essentially if you should be eating or not
Just take a pic and ask AI what NOVA scale your food is
I generally flat out avoid eating from groups 3 and 4 nowadays (except cheat days once in a while ;))
What's interesting is that a lot of the food that used to be NOVA 1 (unprocessed) a few decades ago has now become NOVA 4 (ultra processed) due to inflation
The reason is that unprocessed food is cheap and boring and hard to market, so you can't make much profit on it. A steak is a steak and it costs roughly the same everywhere. But if you sell it as
Grill Masters Sweet & Smoky BBQ Angus Beef
You can add a beautifully designed label, market it in ads, and all the stuff you add it (salt water, coloring, additives) to increase the weight, so you can charge much more
Selling ultra processed food is a much better business to be in than selling unprocessed food (boring and no profit margin)
Thank capitalism for this!
An example is a type of meat my parents used to eat in the Netherlands, it was unprocessed then, and is now sold as ultra processed full of preservatives, emulsifiers, coloring and additives, and my parents have no idea because it looks roughly the same. It makes them sick though
Also yogurt, I grew up and it was just you know, yogurt, fermented milk, classified as NOVA 1 unprocessed. But modern yogurt isn't that anymore. A premium brand I used to buy called OIKOS by Danone, used to have 2 ingredients: milk and fermentation bacteria. Now it's some milk, a bit of cream, a lot of milk powder (with dubious origins) and fermentation bacteria to save money but the price went up! And that's the plain one. The flavored yogurts are full of artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, additives etc.
So you can't really trust your eyes anymore to judge if food is clean or not, because most of it has been turned into processed or ultra processed to save money and/or market to you to sell for a higher price
When in doubt, try the NOVA scale
I am pleased to announce that a memorandum of understanding has been signed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Network School.
Our new campus will become a haven for global techno-optimism, with expedited visas, streamlined redomiciliation, and active recruitment of talent.
I think I know why @balajis prefers to describe it as an island near Singapore:
-Well, it's technically an island located right next to Singapore.
-The island is a Special Economic Zone , making it more globally integrated.
-Singapore is known as Southeast Asia's financial and technology hub.
-When people think of Malaysia, they think of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, which is about a 6 hr drive from the island. Singapore, on the other hand, is only around 50 mins away.
-Living on the island feels more connected to Singapore than to much of the rest of Malaysia. (For this you need to experience living there)
Regardless of whether he says Malaysia or "near Singapore," I don't think it's a big deal to the people he's trying to attract but it's better for first impression.
is it really because of religion or because of the individual?
Look at the christchurch mosque shootings. There are countless examples of people from different religions and background committing violence against others. It's not about the religion itself.
You can figure out who is profiting from making people hate each other... We're all one, don't let headlines designed to capture your attention and profit from outrage convince you otherwise.
True luxury of living only costs $1500 a month on an island near Singapore.
You either get
- clean and safe environment
- high-quality gym
- @bryan_johnson approved meals
- people with a growth mindset
- workshops, seminars
for 3 months at @ns , or you get an LV bag.
Which one do you choose?
True luxury today:
- live, travel, exercise away from mids
- sleep as long as you want
- eat fresh healthy food daily
- healthy media consumption
- great community for your kids
- private doctors and home staff
- far away from angry noisy people
If you are in these places, “luxury” brands are a tell that you’re relatively poor.
@Edwinkang @CL207 Sorry for your loss. I also lost some money. they sucked, i agree. The main issue is having a lack of a good striker, even though they controlled the midfield. It’s a big shame not making it to the 32, considering that Turkey managed to get into the cup after 24 years.
@Edwinkang @CL207 Did you watch the game? The ball hit the crossbar and then squarely hit the post before bouncing out. Odds of happening that is 0.04% Turkey played with the ball most of the time both games. They both didn’t strike well and were unlucky.
