Chicken liver has a good amount of folate and lower amount of vitamin A and copper compared to beef liver. Plain lamb meat and fish also has some, more than beef.

Yeah I'm actually quitting in two weeks! I've been inspired to write cypherpunk/bitcoin and related themes fiction. Ambition is to write a book at some point, but will start with shorter stories and idea is to monetize some with unlocking them with lightning payments per story. Might have to spend some stack, or actually loan against some of that so I don't have to sell right now, but I'm at a point where I want and feel like I need to lazer focus on this. Translation work at Konsensus Network will start soon to yield tiny amounts - any income from a passion is a plus.
At least you like the job! That's a good place to be even if you're still searching for a more meaningful work.

After iterating code with the help of chatGPT for hours on end, I FINALLY managed to get #bitcoin price to show on a LILYGO T5 which is an epaper screen with an ESP32 chip. Had to make custom code because there's no existing project for this board that shows only bitcoin price or data.
Dozens of hours used not to spend so much on Blockclock, because I'm obnoxious enough to think I can do it myself despite not being a coder. And I did, haha. But I guess I learned something and understand some code too.
Will need to edit the font, and perhaps try showing some onchain data, too, but for now I will simply savor this achievement of just getting the live price to show up.

Kind of a morning person, can't sleep longer than 10 am no matter how late I go to sleep. Could adjust to earlier but gf is an evening person so I'm adjusted to her rhythm.
But trying to wake up early just for the sake of it is useless imho, unless you can leverage it (quiet hours with no family distractions for example). It's the same amount of waking hours you have regardless of when you get your 8 hours of sleep. And cutting sleep to wake up early is just dumb, it's not sustainable and leads to worse performance during the day.

What do you think about these guys thesis? They argue that MSTR isn't really a BTC derivative, thus it'll be valued different than by NAV. And if it gets added to S&P MSTR will get buying pressure which is indefferent about its NAV. It's high risk for sure, but I think there's a compelling case why it could go much higher due to these financial dynamics and not being an ETF but a running business with cash flow. 2021 top was 6x to NAV, so it has happened before already.
But yeah, MSTR is just few percentage speculation for me. Only thing I'm speculating atm – everything else in BTC – because in my estimation there's a good risk/reward ratio to outperform BTC – especially in a bullmarket.

The biggest irony of my life atm is working in a cheap chain store that sells cheap high time preference crap that breaks down after single use. But what keeps me from drowning into nihilism – without of which the world looked sightless to me when I was young – is bitcoin.
What keeps me sane is that soon the day will come when I have reached my stacking goals – and/or can find enough income from alternative sources/business/side hustles – where I don't need this part time fiat job anymore. It has served me well by allowing me to stack but I cannot wait to leave it behind me. I cannot wait to fully focus on the projects that are aligned with my values.
I think that time will come this cycle.

Wokism is rooted in the same process as marxism: Hegelian dialectism. Marxists and wokists both slam the dialectic process to everything – which is why they reach such retarded conclusions. It's the only operating system for thinking they know.
Explains why wokists like state power so much – Hegel was also a statist, and saw the state as the spirit of god manifesting in the world, or something along those lines.

Most doctors definitely are not literate on nutrition – they don't have time to go deeper into it, friend of mine in medical school hadn't even heard about oxidization of dietary fats and what it causes to the body.
Few months ago I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis after an excruciating back pain episode. I already knew about carnivore as a symptom relief for autoimmune disease – I'm not fully carnivore, though beef heavy with an AIP-type of diet but with dairy and egg yolks that I seem to tolerate.
This has allowed me to go almost completely symptom free with no meds.
Upon my rheumatologist visit she said that my symptoms have improved so much that I can ditch the meds and only use the pain killers when needed, yet she didn't recommend an elimination diet due to "lack of scientific evidence". Completely ignoring my diet as a factor with my improvement. Just the idea of certain foods causing symptoms was foreign to her, even though there's thousands and thousands of anecdotes of a diet-autoimmune decease connection – and multiple rheumatic people I know via my friends have clearly noticed they can't tolerate pork (me included), even though they haven't done any type of elimination diet.
The scientific method is co-opted to mean whatever the authorities say. As if I can't reduce variables and test them on myself one by one and observe the effects of my body. Obviously, it's hard to isolate all variables, but by testing something again resulting with the same outcome, the more likely causational relationship we can attribute to it.
There is some change in tone in some areas, but after nation wide institutionalized regimes have pushed high-carb and high-seed oil diets for decades, with large agricultural and pharmaceutical tied interest with this view, the change is going to be slow and take time.

The similar parallels of the fiat system to the matrix are unbelievable. The experience of Neo in the movie is strikingly similar to my own (I believe to many others as well) when as a young adult I always knew something was off with the world that incentivizes us to the rat race. Now after following the rabbit hole, I understand that it is the fiat monetary system that drives us into it to harvest our energy aka. purchasing power via inflation.
Coincidentally, I was just re-watching The Matrix at the time of you posting this. That's some interesting synchronicity.

Critique toward Bitcoin and custodial Lightning Network usage seem to suffer from nirvana fallacy: "Bitcoin (in it's current form) won't allow every single transaction in a hyperbitcoinized world to take place in L1 or even L2, thus Bitcoin is trash."
Yet they miss that an immutable final settlement layer and a "trustless banking layer" aka. Lightning Network results high competition for custodial solutions which results with IMMENSELY better banking services compared to the government granted banking cartel we have now.
Just because Bitcoin transactions don't (at least yet) scale to easy global trustless payments, it doesn't mean it's not an improvement.
