Breakthroughs in major diseases, including cancer and alzheimers. Maybe not cures, but allowing them to be chronic, manageable diseases like diabetes


Do we really need people living longer at the end of their lives? Do we need someone who would normally die at 78 (due to cancer or whatever) living to 85, needing tremendous amounts of care and taking a ton of resources? When he/she is just barely existing, with low QoL?

On the MS Coast, not having a tag is more common than having a tag.

Because he's not a pus. Doctors are for 80 year olds and pregnant women.

Great intel. We're Costco people, but they have a similar deal.

Up through the 80s, society did a good job of policing itself. Public shaming was very effective in letting dumb people know they were dumb. Unfortunately, those days are long gone, and we will just get dumber as a society.

Best Whey Protein for the money

As you know, the cost of whey protein is steadily going up. What recommendations do you for best whey protein for the money?
You should see the Jxn, MS to ATL flight. I'm the only passenger under 400lbs on it.
I have it, diagnosed in 2018. Fortunately my case is very minor. I just stay away from pork and beef and I'm good.

Don't waste time/money on an allergist, the only countermeasure is avoidance and you can figure that out on your own.

AG reactions occur many hours after eating, which makes it more dangerous for those with frequent/severe reactions.

I had the acupuncture (SAAT), I don't think it did anything for me, but my reactions are infrequent/minor to start with.
Me, early 80s, baby cottonmouth, i couldn't take the anti venom, so it ran its course. Wasn't terrible.

Death by snake bite in the US is extremely rare. About 5 deaths a year out of about 8,000 bites.

Coral snakes being the worse for serious injury, but bites are very rare.

In about 1973ish, I karate chopped a classmate resulting in hitting his freshly sharpened pencil with the pinky side of my thumb. I still have the pencil lead buried in my hand.
