Dr. Mindy Pelz laid out a practical fasting schedule:

- 3-day water fast twice a year (e.g. January & September) to clear senescent cells

- 48-hour fast once a quarter for mental health & mood

- 36-hour fast once a month if weight loss is stuck
24-hour fast once a week as a baseline

- Shorter daily windows (12–17 hours) the rest of the time, adjusted around your cycle

Prolonged fasting (48–72 hours) significantly ramps up autophagy and stem cell regeneration. Valter Longo’s research shows periodic 3-day fasts or fasting-mimicking diets can reduce biological age markers. Shorter fasts (24–36h) improve insulin sensitivity and fat loss.

Different fasting lengths trigger specific benefits, from cellular cleanup to better mood and metabolism.

What fasting schedule have you found works best for you?

Who doesn’t like nice bread, with a good cheese, a great sandwich or toasted. Well as from December this year, whether you want it or not it’s gonna have a new additive….Folic Acid. ALL white bread AND flour in the U.K. will have it added at source. It’s an attempt to reduce the cases of Spina Bifida in babies (300/400 cases per yr, most picked up prenatal). But surely just education or giving all pregnant women a supplement would achieve better results than hoping they eat white bread and forcing the entire population to take it. Oh and it can also cause a slight increase in prostate cancer in men. It makes zero sense, but it’s happening anyway.

$ASTS Reiterating my PT of $272/Share. It’s becoming crystal clear who has the biggest moat and technological edge in direct to device connectivity and defense capabilities from space. Don’t let the algos and short term noise fool you. Institutions and smart money will continue protecting and accumulating the first true mover in this space. 🛰️🦾🇺🇸

Abel Avellan: “We believe that as of today, we are the only technology that has a space-based cellular broadband capability.”

“We hold approximately 3,900 patents and patent-pending claims around our technology.”

“We are fully vertically integrated. We own the IP. We control the manufacturing of everything on our satellites.”

“Our focus is broadband. Nobody is anywhere close to the capability that we have technically.”

The company also reiterated its projected $150M–$200M revenue target for 2026 while continuing to expand its strategic moat through new government and defense opportunities.

Now layer in:
• 3 new government contracts
• FirstNet funding opportunities
• potential partnerships with additional major tech companies
• accelerating satellite deployment and launch cadence
• targeting 45 BlueBird satellites built by Nov. 2026
• introduction of another launch provider with ULA
Launch flexibility is becoming a major strategic advantage:
• SpaceX Falcon 9 → up to 3 BlueBirds
• ULA Vulcan Centaur → up to 5 BlueBirds
• Blue Origin New Glenn → up to 8 BlueBirds

This isn’t just another space company anymore. This is emerging critical communications infrastructure with telecom + defense applications globally while building one of the deepest moats in the entire space sector. 🅰️🇺🇸🌐🛰️

$ASTS: Great excerpt from @thekookreport space last night:

Some dope on reddit said "the first thing I learned in business school…"

Dude, that’s your first mistake. You had to go to business school.

Whatever he learned from a professor in business school who’s never run or owned or founded a business, was that the best business practice is to “under promise and over deliver.”

Actually not true.

If you are a radical renegade of funk that’s redefining an industry, the best business practice is to be batshit crazy and inspire your team to do the impossible. Even if you’re delayed, it’s way the hell better than impossible.

That’s what Abel Avellan does. That’s what Elon Musk does.

... You have to rally the team.

You have to have a team that is killing themselves against impossible goals, and you will probably miss those goals. But you can't then communicate internally an aspirational goal, but then publicly be like, just kidding.

And so you got to then look at the actual results, which again can be delays against previous promises, but still the accomplishment of things thought to be impossible.

That's a beat.

$ASTS I hold this to be true.

Abel Avellan has achieved the impossible with a slight delay versus incredibly ambitious timelines.

Whereas the consultants critizicing him are consistently wrong in a timely fashion.

Pick your fighter.

My new series ALLEY CATS comes to Netflix on 7 August. I've never been so excited/worried about any show since The Office. There's nothing like it. And as with all my work, some people will hate it & some will fucking love it. But how can I make sure everyone watches it? Help!

[C🅰️tSE @CatSE___ApeX___]

You might feel stressed if highly exposed to a very volatile asset.

The first few thousand hours you spend researching every aspect of that asset will increase your confidence to whitstand stress experienced during lows. So my first recommendation is to do DD. Asking quest like you do here is a good start.

Amazon Leo will probably go next on Blue Origin New Glenn and then AST BB17 - BB22

Falcon-9 will take:
AST BB8-10
AST BB11-13
AST BB14-16

So I don’t know about depending on.

It’s really not solely depending on New Glenn is it now?

”Big” Spacemob accounts might feel a bit detached from emotions in investing I get that. It’s in part due to knowing a lot that isn’t in the public domain.

And if you, yourself, knew stuff like the exact cause of BO upper stage malfunction then let’s just say you wouldn’t consider New Glenn a liability with an unknown issue. You would consider it an asset that is very soon back online.

That type of networking and sharing of intel (a fraction of which is here in the open) is not being an echo chamber, by the way. It’s being part of a very informed investor network.

As for launch cadence I just touched on that: Building a machine that builds and launched the satellites at high cadence is the game. The exact moment that machine opens fire is of much less importance.

It’s in 2026, ok. What minute,day, week, month exactly… look nobody will care the slightest about that one year from now and if your investment horizon is shorter than that: Find another stock.

The things you might see & experience right now isn’t something any of us is oblivious to I posted about it before the deep dip.

”The deployment valley of death” and if you’re curious you can fond it in my feed.

It’s the dip in share price experienced when the ability to deploy in a timely fashion and fund/survive deployment phase is in question.

We are going through that period right now.

And screams of ”😱we’re being dependent on multiple reliable providers of cheap reusable space flight in our own country” belongs in that period.

After the fact such statements will ofc appear obviously silly. But right here and right now they’re expected and we saw them coming.

They’re buy signals.

[J🅰️y McDowell @jaymcd68]

@thekookreport Kook, dude no pressure for a weekly report, as & when you feel the need I’d say. Meanwhile we are all in this muddle together just now! It really sucks but in 2 years time 🙏🚀🎉 God willing we will be rewarded for the suffering now!

[J🅰️y McDowell @jaymcd68]

@CatSE___ApeX___ What are your thoughts on this Sir @CatSE_ApeX you posted this photo so I’m curious on your thoughts! There was a reason you posted it right. You’ve noticed something?

Whatever you do, do not let your parents transfer their house into your name.

Instead, do what the wealthy do.

If your parents are retiring and they tell you they want to sign the deed of the house over to you, maybe they bought the house for next to nothing back in the eighties and now it is worth $800,000, do not do it.

If they transfer it to you while they are alive, you will take their original tax basis. This means that when you eventually sell, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the entire increase in value since they bought it. The taxman does not care that it was a gift.

Here is what the wealthiest families do instead:

Step 1: Set up a revocable living trust and place the home inside it.

It keeps your parents in full control while they are alive, but sets up a smooth, private transfer later.

Step 2: Your parents should name you as the beneficiary of the trust. That way, when they pass away, the house automatically moves to you with no court involvement and no probate.

Step 3: When you inherit the house through the trust, you get a stepped-up basis. That means you only pay capital gains tax on any increase in value that occurs after they passed away, not on the huge appreciation since the 1980s.

That single move can save you over $120,000 in taxes.

That is how you pass inheritance to your children without losing a dollar to the system.

If you want to stop the government from taking a cut of your family’s hard-earned assets, follow these steps.
