I keep meeting other dads I like around town, and then my wife tells me the deets from the wife-cloud about how the guy is lazy/not helping with the kids enough.

And then I wonder if wives complain about husbands as a form of mate-guarding

@PGC1a_RB Other option is just leave some of the bread uneaten since the bread to filling ratio is usually off and track as stated on the menu, or remove a fatty sauce from the sandwich if you don’t think it’ll impact taste much (if one is included)

"Ice cream is one of the most weather-dependent products in the world," explained Jiang, who worked in corporate banking before swirling soft serve.

"We lose about 20 percent of business when the weather goes below 70 degrees... So we're essentially hedging that profit loss on the app.

I try and stay out of political discourse, but the weaponization of testosterone replacement therapy on both sides of the aisle disgusts me. Low testosterone is a very real issue that affects men’s quality of life.

human beings are born with this same ability btw. your thoughts are so powerful, they can not only reshape your entire reality but also send information to reprogram your cells, rewrite your DNA, control your immune responses, and reorganize your whole body on a cellular level

Most people of European descent are as related as the Han Chinese, who are considered a single ethnicity.

I spent time inside a “trans help” group posing as a minor who needed to hide everything from my parents.

The adults in the group did not pause. They did not redirect me to a doctor. They did not suggest telling a parent. They gave me sourcing instructions, supplier links, and workflows for obtaining DIY hormones discreetly.

Adults, coaching a child on how to medically transition behind their parents’ backs.

I will be exposing this network in the coming days.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

No one in Michigan has nostalgia from their childhood about the summer wildfire smoke that migrated down from Canada.

I don't remember it ever happening until recent years.

have they caught a single violent black criminal yet? or are they only being installed to give law abiding Whites speeding tickets?

Blacks are actually just mind bendingly retаrded. The one in this video is relatively intelligent by black standards but still can't understand a simple statistical concept even after having it explained to him multiple times. Boggles my mind

So why does this matter? Every cell membrane in your body is made of lipids, and your body will use the lipids in your diet to build those membranes. Building membranes with highly reactive lipids leads to membranes that behave improperly.

Consider what happens when you disturb the membranes of the mitochondria, a double-membrane-bound organelle involved in energy production and steroid hormone synthesis. If the membranes don’t work, you don’t get energy and don’t get hormones. Mitochondria are especially susceptible to lipid peroxidation because they’re the main site of hydrogen peroxide production.

Your MOTS-c and SS-31 are just band-aids on broken membranes due to years of exposure to foods we were never meant to consume im the quantities we’ve inadvertently exposed ourselves to.

Let’s talk about polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and why they’re so problematic.

Ray Peat advised avoiding PUFAs because they become easily oxidized in certain situations.

The key characteristic of PUFAs is the number of bis-allylic carbons along the hydrocarbon chain tail—these are the methylene groups (-CH₂-) between doubly bonded carbons. Their position weakens the carbon-hydrogen bonds, making them susceptible to radical peroxidation chain reactions that produce biologically toxic byproducts. The more bis-allylic methylene groups, the more prone to peroxidation the lipid becomes.

The chain reaction starts when free iron (Fe2+) cations react with hydrogen peroxide (a normal metabolic byproduct) to form a hydroxide ion and hydroxyl radical via the Fenton reaction. The hydroxyl radical initiates the process by abstracting a hydrogen from the weak C-H bond, creating a lipid carbon radical. This rapidly reacts with molecular oxygen to form a lipid peroxyl radical, which then strips another bis-allylic hydrogen, propagating the chain.

Lipid peroxidation thus has two steps: initiation via the Fenton reaction and propagation.

To stop initiation, keep free unbound iron levels low. To stop propagation, an antioxidant like vitamin E can donate a hydrogen to the lipid peroxyl radical, quenching the chain.

In seeds, PUFAs are packaged with antioxidants like tocopherols that prevent peroxidation. The issue arises when isolating the oils. Even though PUFAs occur naturally in the body, such as in the testicles where vitamin E was discovered as a fertility factor (tocopherol from Greek “tocos” for offspring and “pherein” to bear), vitamin E’s antioxidant nature protects these lipids from peroxidation, preserving fertility.

Another PUFA source is cold-water fish, which use them to maintain membrane fluidity: more unsaturated bonds lower the freezing point due to less efficient packing of the tails. Fish employ selenium, glutathione, astaxanthin (the orange pigment in salmon, shrimp, and krill), and vitamin E to prevent PUFA peroxidation.

This explains why Ray Peat promoted milk, high-mineral-content seafood, vitamin E, and orange juice as remedies for modern metabolic issues stemming from PUFA lipid peroxidation.

Peaty Food Breakdown:

1. Milk is low in iron, a pro-oxidant, yet high in bioavailable protein. Lactoferrin also binds iron in the gut. Low PUFA, with the main fats being saturated which are very stable at body temperature.

2. Liver contains iron but also antioxidant minerals to prevent excessive oxidation.

3. Seafood provides selenium for selenocysteine, which forms glutathione peroxidases (glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant) and deiodinase enzymes that convert T4 to active T3. PUFA in fish is not an issue because the antioxidant minerals prevent peroxidation—however, fish oils are problematic for the exact same reason seed oils are problematic: PUFA divorced from antioxidants.

4. Orange juice supplies vitamin C, which counters the toxic effects of free iron in blood.

That’s all for today.

@memeticsisyphus There's a big difference between the Atticus Finch "everyone deserves a fair trial, especially the guilty" criminal defense attorneys and the "I just got my fifth child rapist and murderer off death row by pulling some stupid rules lawyering trick" defense attorneys.
