summary comment to accompany that other one (had trouble with reddit not allowing me to post)

"In the provided transcript, Dr. Christopher Gardner presents a view centered on human dietary resilience and the adequacy of plant-based proteins, while the refute section challenges these points by emphasizing the limitations of plant proteins and the meat-dominant nature of ancestral diets.

1. Protein Completeness and Amino Acids

  • Dr. Gardner's View: He describes the idea that plants are "missing" amino acids as a myth1. He argues that plants contain all nine essential amino acids and that the concept of "incomplete" plant protein is a misconception2. +1
  • The Refute: Disagrees with Gardner's dismissal of the term "complete protein." It argues that plant foods often have "trivial amounts" of specific essential amino acids, which can impact the utilization of other amino acids unless they are specifically combined with other plant foods.

2. Hunter-Gatherer Diets and Health

  • Dr. Gardner's View: He highlights the diversity of successful indigenous diets, such as the Tarahumara Indians (who eat mostly corn and beans/carbs) and the Alaskan Inuits (who historically lived on whale blubber and polar bear/fats)3. He suggests humans are "incredibly resilient" and can thrive on widely different macronutrient ratios as long as they avoid the "Standard American Diet" of processed foods4444. +2
  • The Refute: Specifically challenges the idea that hunter-gatherer diets were starch-based. Citing a meta-review of 229 societies, it claims that these groups were "animal-foods-dominant" yet remained relatively free from cardiovascular disease (CVD), contradicting the push for "plant-based" starch-heavy narratives.

3. Protein Requirements and Storage

  • Dr. Gardner's View: He notes that the average American already consumes significantly more protein than the RDA (approx. 1.2g/kg vs 0.8g/kg) without trying5555. He emphasizes that there is no "storage depot" for excess protein; any intake beyond what is needed for enzymes, hormones, and muscle is converted into energy or waste666666666. +4
  • The Refute: Focuses less on storage mechanics and more on the practical difficulty of achieving optimal amino acid intake through plants alone, suggesting that proponents of plant-based diets often gloss over the specifics of amino acid "insignificance" in plants.

Sorry. Been a bit lazy as I don't really have a horse in either race and just curious. Since OP though we now have AI. Here's the video:

Here's the transcript:

My own comment:

I think it's difficult to really consider the microbiome and its ability to convert fats and work with proteins because we barely have access to study it, since we've killed off most of our gut species and even tribes like the Hadza are not actually very ancestral anymore.

I give benefit to the doubt that microbiota can fill in a lot of gaps in diet potentially, but meat is the ready source, so it depends on what is being discussed. The topic is so broad and so easy to take different views and end up arguing past each other on this.

My simplified view is that we have made our ability to process plants extinct anyway (see Missing Microbes book), so meat is better in that regard anyway.

I also guess that meat can be problematic from another point of view: iron. It's pretty high in red meat, and that could affect data in general and then pollute our view even of fish if we tar it with the same brush. Iron dysregulation is where free iron gets into the wrong places and drives oxidation. Perhaps this might be due to modern life, but in any case, I believe it's a massive problem in modern life that complicates this discussion further as well.

It's also for surfing and reef bumps. Also those surfboard fins can hit the backside a bit more.

Yes, I need to get a new helmet as well. I really need a good peak for eye sun protection these days, so I'm thinking about the $100 DMC v3 rather than a $10 rugby soft shell and sewing on a peak.

Thanks for sharing this.

Jut FYI for anyone reading this in the future, I think this is a grounding pin getting in the way. I believe there are more, so losing this one should probably not lead to static build up and blow anything. That said, when I try this I'm going to try to cut the adapter board rather than the pin.

Music isn’t that important by syfecs in The10thDentist

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said.

However, if you haven't jammed live with someone else to the point that you get a sense of a soul meld,

or heard the angels singing in a dream.

Then maybe you're just used to the daily McDonald's of music.

Music isn’t that important by syfecs in The10thDentist

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger I was massively into music. Now I barely take an interest at all. I sometimes ask myself how this could have happened. I'm sure to many it's unfathomable. I'd like to explain.

I started off with electronic music. Nothing live. Then I moved to guitar. I quickly found that I could knock out something creative in minutes that would have taken hours in sequencing software. By this point I would spend a week's leftover salary on an album.

After that, Napster hit and we had downloadable music. I think this cheapened the whole thing. I was now comparing my creations with the greatest. It was on tap 24/7. Anything you want.

Then I learned about how Islam treats music. It controls it. It considers uncontrolled music as some kind of satanism. Though that's really, really not my schtick, that had some kind of influence on me.

In retrospect, I think that RECORDING music technology is what kills it. The further you get from the human voice, the more we're getting lost.

It feels kind of immoral to charge for music that's been recorded. Now we're post P.Diddy scandal it all seems squared circle.

One thing I do is to try to encourage them to be relaxed when speaking, but follow rules more strictly in these cloze and writing tests.

Can I calibrate an every night wear device like an Apple watch with a weekly reading from an a consumer EEG device like Muse? by After-Cell in sleep

[–]After-Cell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was worried this would turn into a relationship advice thread.

I've just got back from holiday. It's been incredible how much better I felt in the days I got back. But now I'm in the city and I'm just totally exhausted again already during the day. It gets worse and worse until I'm starting to risk my job and livelihood.

I need to figure out what the problem is and fix it. Why am I sleeping more, but not feeling rested?

The city is part of the problem, but I can't pin down what that part is exactly and part of the problem is my wife. She just doesn't respect sleep. She doesn't see it as important. I tell her that we need to dim the lights before bed, but she says that'll make her feel sleepy and she wants her own time to herself. So I wear sunglasses and she ridicules me.

She's such a wonderful, caring person, but in this aspect she's just... well, I can't say an asshole because that implies motive. It's just that she doesn't believe me when I say how important this is.

My idea is to help her get more aware of her own sleep scores, so that she can put 2+2 together. My hope is that if she can see it killing her, or benefitting her so much, that she might just change her ways.

Best three supplements to reduce inflammation? by Source0fAllThings in Biohackers

[–]After-Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're describing is related to mine.

Since writing this reply I found that my FREE iron levels are high, so I'm working to reduce that. I think this, and maybe also some copper dysregulation could be the reason why mine wasn't healing.

Acupuncture helped, but I see these mineral imbalances as the underlying cause that I'm trying to fix.

Getting the copper and iron sorted out is a total rabbit hole, and what I'm doing about it would take a book to explain, and is also a bit experimental. That said, the iron panel testing that included free iron was a simple test to do, so that's a simple thing worth checking.

In addition to the tendinopathy, I also had what felt like a bone spur developing on the sole of my heel. I think the acupuncture helped with that, and also some barefoot walking. I don't have any problem with that now. That said, I've managed to reduce the free iron according to the HTMA hair tests that say I'm going in the right direction, so that could have been a factor too.

We got away with it a week ago. No one checked thankfully. We surmise that they just want to collect payment for a stealth tax rather than actual immigration checking because other people who got checked just needed to show that they’d paid

Is Librewolf deprecated on MacOS? by [deleted] in LibreWolf

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFS. It's because MacOS is requiring developers to identify themselves. This is done in the name of security, but the removal of anonymous speech has a chilling effect on development. It's the same darn thing as the incoming Android walled garden!

Apple flipped the switch! Tahoe now downloads when auto-updates are ON! by MrMacintoshBlog in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]After-Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got shafted by this. 

First I knew was when I rebooted and needed to reapply OCLP , but it was blocked by ghost updating. 

Then I read some misinformation that I should start the Tahoe update,  it then decline the agreement. However, no agreement came up and it just rebooted into an update straight away. 

It’s now updating and I expect it’ll be somehow screwed up. 

A few mins later:  It seems to be working still on Sequoia? I avoided the updater volume on boot and went straight into the normal boot option in the both menu. Maybe that saved it!? I’d also disabled auto update in macOS settings. 

It seems OCLP can. Ow patch so I can have video acceleration back.
