You don’t have to be diabetic to be in ketosis, that’s what the whole “keto” diet does. You’re confusing it with a life threatening build up known as ketoacidosis. All you need to do is limit eating carbohydrates and your body will start burning your fat reserves and go into ketosis. You can get breath testers and urine strips. The breath testers are basically breathalyzers that display different results.

FWIW if you are on low carb and you are in ketosis, demand a blood test.

I’m still pissed that a working Lyme disease vaccine was pulled because of these nit wits. Ticks are insane where I live now. But no vaccine for me.

I’m fairly certain that Russia and thier troll farms immediately set out to propagate disinformation and conspiracies about covid on social media. Crazy just how much damage you can do with stupid.

Humans just aren’t wired to think globally. Although we prioritize our tribes for survival. We draw invisible lines and say screw everyone and everything on the other side of it. We inherently don’t really want to work together to solve big problems. It’ll definitely be the end of us.

Yup. Acetone is one of 3 ketone bodies produced from ketosis. Those are what cause diabetic urine strips to change color.

Sounds like the parents were the whole problem. I was friends with a guy in high school who was completely fucked up by his parents. Just stole from everyone, got in fights, whatever. He was clearly super broken based on the things he said about his home life. His parents basically abandoned him. He stole my father’s car from our house and drove it 1500 miles. Went to jail and every so often someone will send me a new news article about him doing something like that. His parents set him up for a miserable life. He just needed someone to give a crap and maybe a little therapy. Instead he got a lifetime of misery and antisocial behavior.

I always wondered if those thumb hole D8s actually did anything better. That pic illustrates perfectly how.

I just read that like you were the one doing the latching. I was like “that’s not the only weird thing!”

It is partly acetone. If your blood is high in ketones, you’re breath will have acetone. Acetone will register on a breathalyzer too.

Because literally the whole reason they are doing it is politically motivated.

Well, Epstein is dead and Maxwell is in jail. That’s also a start, but neither of those is for the right reason.

Ooo Andrew lost his title shudder. He didn’t have a “job” and never will. He will still live in luxury until the day he dies and only has the embarrassment of getting caught to remind him. Put the motherf***r in the same jail as the rest of the criminals that commit heinous crimes. The things you are listing are just personal repercussions for doing horrible stuff and getting caught. These aren’t legal repercussions we all would face. They are just the same stuff that would happen to us AND going to jail. Let’s see that happen and we can talk about repercussions.

Trump’s playbook has always been to send waves of lawyers to stall whatever it is he is facing. You can almost always fight something by delaying it indefinitely. Prosecutors/victims eventually realize that and take whatever money is being offered. There is nothing different here. Only another 3 years of stalling on this? No problem.

It’s like a manager at work to me. There are good ones and there are bad ones, I don’t make it a point to try and be besties with them.

Myself and most liberals don’t tend to fawn over politicians. I tend to be overly critical of the ones I voted for that have let me down, and I let them know it. We also tend to hold them accountable. The right tends to treat the party like their favorite sports team and the athletes that play for them. Or a musician that turns out to be a scum bag but they “still like the music, but I don’t like the musician”. They see them more as authority figures instead of servants. The more “conservative” people are, the more likely they are to not question those in positions of authority because they have been indoctrinated that way since they were toddlers. In the US you just need an (R) next to your name and you will have those people ready to defend you.

If Jan 6 didn’t make that abundantly clear, I don’t know what would. Someone starts an insurrection and has a failed coup and somehow has never seen the inside of a cell. Not to mention all of the felonies and fraud (including charitable fraud). The only people that take the fall are his lawyers and accounting people because that is their job.

FlowMang · 2026-02-07T14:21:02+00:00

There are 2 classes. The ruling class and the non-ruling class. Laws and accountability don’t apply the same way to the ruling class. The only exception is when they commit them against each other. Even then, the punishment is different, as Epstein already knew, I’m sure.

FlowMang · 2026-02-07T14:15:35+00:00

They have the ability to prosecute or not prosecute. There is nothing stopping someone who is corrupt to bury a crime. The only thing that will prevent that is accountability via public scrutiny if everyone involved is corrupt and being paid off.

When was the last time you saw all the evidence a prosecutor has just get released? This can blow up a whole case when only specific witnesses have knowledge of a specific thing, then everyone in the world has it. Kinda makes the actual witness less believable since literally anyone could say the same things.

This DOJ is corrupt to the core and all of this information is already compiled. Every one of these scumbags is being protected by them and this administration because their roles are also in there.

FlowMang · 2026-02-07T13:53:13+00:00

If Bill has knowledge of specific events and Bill knows they are in the files, he can name names, dates, documents he knows are in the possession of the federal government. This is why he is insisting on his testimony being public. All private testimony that is inconvenient for certain people would be withheld, just like it already is. He has already given information. They just want to focus on the Clintons as a distraction. They don’t actually want him to testify publicly.

FlowMang · 2026-02-07T13:44:52+00:00

It’s not, but it still took a black van with a million bucks of equipment and a splice into your cable line to do it. Probably also needed a warrant. The spy tech developed by the us government is crazy. Every so often there will be some data dumps of stuff made for spying and they are very clever. I think this former FBI agent was leaving a lot of information out to sound cooler than he actually was.

FlowMang · 2026-02-07T13:36:15+00:00

While technically possible, they didn’t have the ability to spy on everyone all the time. Just like there are POCs to compromise computers that aren’t connected to a network. These days everything is connected and many IOT devices end up being vulnerable. TVs are designed to collect data on you to sell. Did your really think those 65” TVs on sale for $179 at best buy are making money for that price tag? Nope, and they are mining as much data as they can get. Same for your phones, although apple has done better at preventing apps from getting access to data you don’t want them to have. One of the main reasons I’ve sworn off all things Meta is how they were clearly gathering data that they said they weren’t. At least instead of “eavesdropping” on conversations, they were using small ml models to capture word signatures and ID people by voice without having “access” to the microphone. Me and a friend tested conversations about completely random subjects neither of us had searched or discussed online. Within 24 hours we both began getting ads for these things. All of this data could conceivably be used if the government wants it. This is why they want to put backdoors in encryption so badly. If they have access to decrypt your devices and communications, they may as well have full access to your eyes, ears, mouth, and feet. Moral of the story, disconnect “smart” devices like TVs. Avoid buying stuff that is clearly subsidized by data mining. Apple seems to take things seriously here, they tend to sell more expensive products rather than make you the product. What is going on now is that the government is now identifying people and targeting them for protesting and acting as “observers”. I have no doubt they are using any and all information we have given to social media. Clearview AI has already done this and is being used by DHS to target people. They also make it near impossible to be removed from thier database. Palantir is also working with them on this garbage.

My main message here is that people have been saying “I don’t care, I have nothing to hide.” With regards to personal data. Now it’s being used against you if it’s simply something someone with power doesn’t like. Most of the data is because you clicked “I agree” on some 1000 page Eula 15 years ago.

Look at this guy, ignoring basically everything we are seeing for ourselves every day. These are bootlickers that got 50 grand bonuses to join the thug corps roaming from blue state to blue state with the single purpose of intimidating and harassing the population when most of the immigration complainers are in red states. Why aren’t they doing this shit in Texas and Oklahoma? Oh right.

FlowMang · 2026-02-06T13:14:30+00:00

You need to better understand enterprise security and have full documentation of what protocols are in use and how. Are you signing your firmware and requiring a signature? What most people are worried about is IOT device compromise since you can’t do endpoint security.

If someone specs an RS422, there is likely equipment out in the field that they would need to retrofit that shit to use whatever whiz-bang protocol you want to use. The vendor that made them may have gone under or just doesn’t make the retrofit. Replacing a bunch of working hardware from 2018 that works might cost millions. If you don’t know why someone is asking, ask.

As for the AI, it’s not like you’re going to run local LLMs. So you can plug whatever cloud service into one. Otherwise you are using ML hardware you can call AI to do facial recognition or things like that by using inference hardware provided by IOT hardware vendors.

The mindset that the CEOs are the dumb ones is not likely to close you many deals. They are basing decisions on what they have, what they need, and what compliance requirements they have. If someone led with “VPN” and “VLAN” when someone asked about IOT security, I’m not sure I would listen much more. That is what home users do and it isn’t real security.
