Important for all - "Metabloic Syndrome" Thread:

More than 40% of the US is obese (BMI>30), while ~ 1/3 is overweight (BMI between 25-30) per CDC data.
If you are obese you run a great risk of chronic illness, or succumbing to acute illness (ex: covid).

this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol

a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion

and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:

every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone

instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS

when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.

it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall

the cows learn the cues in a few days

so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate

and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.

it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field

so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol

and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm

it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.

they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly

it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.

California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires

costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month

a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone

📋 Google to Release 64 Million Bacteria-Infected Mosquitoes Across California and Florida Over the Next Two Years—The Truth and Actual Numbers (It’s Worse Than 64 Million)

Google has filed two separate Experimental Use Permit applications with the EPA, not one. When you add them together, the scale is staggering:

View the second image below.

Subtotal: 64 million mosquitoes over two years targeting the primary West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis vector.

Combined total across both permits: 176 million lab-bred, Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes slated for release across American neighborhoods.

🦟 How It’s Supposed to Work

The mechanism is cytoplasmic incompatibility. Male mosquitoes are infected with a specific Wolbachia pipientis strain that doesn’t carry the same Wolbachia strain; the eggs fail to develop in the lab. When these treated males mate with wild females who don’t carry the same Wolbachia strain, the eggs don’t hatch. No offspring, population crashes.

The sales pitch is clean:

- Males don’t bite — so no increased nuisance to humans during the release
- Not “genetically modified” in the transgenic sense — Wolbachia is a naturally occurring endosymbiotic bacterium already found in ~60% of insect species
- Species-specific — only the target species is affected
- “Alternative to chemical pesticides” — the greenwashed framing

🔴 What They’re Not Telling You

1. The EPA Classified This as a Pesticide

Read that again. Under FIFRA Section 5, the EPA is treating live, bacteria-infected mosquitoes as a “pesticide chemical” with an “active ingredient” measured in milligrams. The Federal Register lists the total active ingredient as 8,480 mg for the Aedes permit and 14,080 mg for the Culex permit.

You’re not being asked to comment on a public health intervention. You’re being asked to comment on a pesticide experiment — and the EPA’s own framing should tell you something about how they actually view what’s being released into the air you breathe and the ecosystem you live in.

2. No Release Locations Have Been Announced

The Federal Register notices specify the states but not the counties, cities, or neighborhoods. The public comment period closes June 5, 2026 — and residents are being asked to weigh in without knowing whether these mosquitoes will be released in their backyards, near their schools, or around their children's playgrounds.

That’s not oversight. That’s a blank check dressed up as a comment period.

3. The “Male Mosquitoes Don’t Bite” Defense Is Incomplete

Yes, male mosquitoes don’t blood-feed. But the release mechanism itself — millions of insects emerging from automated rearing facilities into residential areas — introduces variables that haven’t been adequately studied:

- What happens to local food webs when you flood an ecosystem with millions of Wolbachia-infected males that then die without reproducing? Bats, birds, dragonflies, and fish all feed on adult mosquitoes. A sudden pulse of 16 million dying males isn’t ecologically neutral.

- What about Wolbachia horizontal transfer to non-target species? The bacteria can jump between arthropod species under certain conditions. Once it’s in the wild at this scale, it’s not coming back.

4. The Track Record Is Mixed at Best

Earlier Wolbachia trials in the Florida Keys (through MosquitoMate and Oxitec) produced inconsistent results. Some areas saw population suppression; others saw mosquitoes bounce back or shift their breeding patterns. The Miami Herald documented significant community pushback and operational failures in prior releases.

The Singapore Debug expansion — announced May 12, 2026 — is being sold as a success story, but it’s an R&D program, not a proven intervention. You’re the test subject, not the beneficiary.

5. Google’s Involvement Should Raise Every Alarm Bell

This isn’t a public health agency. This isn’t a university research lab. This is Google LLC — a surveillance advertising company with a documented history of:

- Launching projects, collecting massive datasets, then abandoning them when they’re no longer profitable

- Operating health-tech ventures (Verily) that have repeatedly over-promised and under-delivered while vacuuming up sensitive biological data

- Using AI and automation in ways that prioritize scale and data collection over safety and informed consent

The Debug project uses "software engineers, biologists, specialized insect breeding robots, and artificial intelligence" — meaning every release is also a data-harvesting operation. What data are they collecting? On whom? With what consent?

6. The Comment Period Is a Formality

Let’s be blunt about how the EPA’s “public comment” process works in practice. The agency has already determined these permits “may be of regional and national significance” — which in regulatory language means they’re treating this as a precedent-setting approval. The comments get filed, summarized by some contractor, and the permit is issued with whatever “conditions” the agency feels like attaching.

Past EUPs for mosquito releases have included “monitoring requirements, buffer zones, and stop-release triggers” — all of which sound reassuring until you realize enforcement is essentially non-existent and the triggers are set so high they’ll never activate.

🧬 The Bigger Picture

This is what happens when you let Silicon Valley treat the biosphere as a software problem to be debugged. The name itself — Debug — reveals the mentality. Mosquitoes aren’t code glitches. Ecosystems aren’t programs you can patch with a release update.

The diseases these mosquitoes carry — West Nile, dengue, Zika, chikungunya — are real problems. But the solution pathway that leads through Google’s labs, automated rearing facilities, and the EPA’s pesticide regulatory framework is not the same thing as a public health intervention. It’s a corporate experiment using the American public as unwitting subjects, with the EPA providing the regulatory rubber stamp.

The comment deadline is June 5. After that, the decision moves behind closed doors — and 176 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes start getting boxed up for delivery to neighborhoods that haven’t been named and residents who haven’t been asked.

I had nearly a 2 hour conversation with some family about this very topic last weekend.

Make sure your kids play multiple sports - let them explore different movement patterns & skills. Don't put it all in one basket as the road is exactly as described below for 99% of people.

[Jacob Turner @TheJacobTurner]

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Hanging is naturally decompressing.

If it hurts during full hang try resting toes/feet on a box or the ground to deload weight to your tolerance.

Hanging from a bar for three minutes a day, total, may be one of the highest-ROI inputs for upper body mobility

People who regularly hang tend to report less shoulder pain, less neck pain, and better-functioning backs

Spread it across the day in 30–60 second bouts from a doorway pull-up bar or playground rig

If a bar isn't accessible, downward dog is the functional equivalent
