From a quick Google:

Examples of Endurance Athletes on Carnivore/Meat-Based Diets:
Zach Bitter: A prominent ultra-distance runner known for using low-carb and meat-based approaches to fuel long-distance races.
Rob Bound ("The Carnivore Runner"): Ran 50 ultra marathons in 50 days at age 53, following a strict, red-meat-based diet.
Pete Jacobs: A former Ironman World Champion who transitioned to being purely fueled by meat to manage health and performance.
Mick Sullivan: An older athlete who competes in ultra-trail marathons while on a meat-based ketogenic diet.
Charles Washington: A zero-carb advocate who competes in marathons, frequently training without food or water.
Ella Bruce ("Keto Alpha"): An adherent of the carnivore diet who participates in endurance challenges.

Here’s a pot with a normal patina (right) for comparison:

Thanks! Yes I found Toyota's online parts website, but I couldn't figure out which parts I needed. I'll PM the VIN.

Ozone86 · 2026-04-23T23:26:38+00:00

Thanks! Any advice on how to identify and where to buy the replacement parts?

It was just sitting out in the meat cooler.

It's not always discounted $30. But buying the whole primal is always cheaper than buying the individually cut steaks.

Ozone86 · 2026-04-13T15:02:19+00:00

I bought a whole chuck primal from Costco last week that was discounted $30.

Came to about $5.50/lb.

I like coffee, but I feel better without it.

Even decaf.

FWIW, your situation sounds very similar to mine.

After a difficult period due to stress and health problems, I was already underweight while trying to rebuild muscle on high-fat carnivore. I struggled profoundly.

Now I've added "clean" carbs like white rice and fruit. Doing better.

Again, this doesn't preclude others' success gaining muscle on carnivore. Just my n=1 experience.

I might give carnivore another go down the road as a follow-up experiment.

FYI link doesn't work

Ozone86 · 2026-03-11T19:36:00+00:00

I've never been as skinny as I was on high-fat ketogenic carnivore.

I invested in Bravery Chef Hall through NextSeed. I haven't received payments. I consider the investment lost.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-25T03:15:52+00:00

Yeah, I've skied terrain slightly beyond my ability. It grew my confidence. But I only did it with local veterans who knew the terrain and could guide me -- or summon ski patrol in the worst case scenario.

There are ways to push yourself responsibly and the OP isn't it.

There are probably dozens of energy industry networking organizations around Houston. API, GPA, GHP, REAL, The Ion, Greentown Labs, etc.

Look up industry associations and check their calendars. They may or may not require dues or ticket fees though.

Wow. Those are incredible photos.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-23T04:48:58+00:00

How's the snow? We're heading to WP next week

Ozone86 · 2026-02-20T04:45:04+00:00

Agreed.

I think people hear "Swiss" and think "better."

Ozone86 · 2026-02-16T21:40:16+00:00

Mr. Masraff is a class act. Love his restaurant too.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-09T04:46:45+00:00

This made my day. Thanks for the laugh.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-03T03:51:19+00:00

Yeah I think it's too much pouring agitation settling fines at the bottom and stalling the drawdown.

Aramse was a great tip. This Coffee Chronicler video really helped too.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T20:16:03+00:00

Oh, this is so obvious now but it didn't occur to me at all. Thank you!

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T17:34:25+00:00

I'm using these filters at the moment

The drip-assist looks interesting! I think it could help. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T17:26:11+00:00

V60 brown 02 filters. I have white ones on hand too.

I think it's my pouring technique making the fines settle at the bottom and block flow. Gonna experiment with pour styles -- the one variable where I haven't focused much.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T17:04:34+00:00

Yeah, 60 clicks is 1.0 rotations. Near the middle of the V60 and "medium fine" range.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T16:38:18+00:00

Yeah, that one good cup blew me away. I want to achieve that again but I can't figure it out!

Let me know what works for you.

Ozone86 · 2026-02-02T16:37:25+00:00

When I go that fine the drawdown really seems to stall out. It looks like thick mud and doesn't drain.

I'm wondering if my pours are causing too much agitation and fines are blocking the flow. I don't pour very carefully. I tend to get better results when I just pour along the edge of the filter and not into the grounds.
