The only red chamber I dream about can't be mentioned here.

Maybe you should broaden your horizons?

I recall that, about 1990, I managed to purchase a rather stunning copy of Hong Lou Meng.

Glad I did.

These two things are what dreams are made of.

Have you been experienced?

Have YOU EVER BEEN EXPERIENCED?

Well....

I have....

What about you?

How often will you go in for an oil change?

Lube Job, better. 

Twice per week, if this were a perfect world.

Did you ever solve your problem with ANKI? 

As I recall, your problem with ANKI centered around a Thai vowel. 

Things of import, such as this, I find difficult to forget. 

Perhaps you should make one more donation to ANKI, for old times' sake...?

Real beef can be found.

 

I rate the Argentina Ribeye from Meat Market.

 

Also the Aus tomahawk go good too.

 

Found, or not found....

I won't pay so much for meat, of any kind.

Even the meat you might find in the Beef Market, as I mentioned above, which we used to enjoy in Formosa....

(I will just survive on chicken.  Every chicken I eat, at least for me, means one less rooster in this world.)

OK, RIP GG

After I go on my Spanish (EXTRA-VIRGIN) OLIVE OIL Diet...

I might just outlive you...

Total Irony, if I do!!!!

It's better to have loved and lost...😉

NEVER a truer word....!

But, basically, it's mostly a matter of the aging process, I believe.

As we age, we entertain different interests....

And, even though we might no longer be interested in fine and expensive dining in Tokyo...yet...

We are very glad that we once had the experience....

Wait and see...

You may, someday, feel the same.

Old age comes to us all, if we only wait long enough,...

And live long enough.

There was a time I found GG posts challenging and inspiring.

Please let me know which posts of mine that you found both challenging and inspiring.

If only you had told me before!

I might have written more!!!

Also, I just wrote a challenging topic concerning EPISTEMOLOGY....

Surely, this Topic is challenging enough!

Don't you think?

For example:  HOW do we know that what we think we know might be true?  Is this a challenging enough question for you???

Concerning Inspiration:  Yes. If you want, I can talk again about Cognitive Complexity and Syntactic Complexity, if you find these topics inspirational.  I would be HAPPY to do so, in fact!

Why in God's name would you even eat that muck in the first place? What's wrong with good old steak and potatoes and cookies and milk? 

 

Eating bugs and grubs and rice and noodles won't put hairs on your chest.

Speaking of the beef farm....(牛肉場 = beef farm)

When I was much younger, living on the Isle of Formosa....

We often invited our customers to partake of the delights at the local beef farm (牛肉場)...

I can guarantee you that a visit there, to the beef farm, might put a few more hairs on your chest.

Thank Goodness!, those days are now behind me....

KOBE beef, though, is still something that I can appreciate....

(Please don't misconstrue:  The beef farm is only for those looking for HEIFERS!)

Hey, Man!

I'm game for some Kobe Beef anytime you say the word!

Send me a PM invitation to meet you in TOKYO for some Kobe Beef!

It melts in your mouth, but not in your hands!

Beef is GOOD...but...

I cannot afford the real beef in Thailand, even if the real beef were to be found.

Also, I have plenty of hairs on my chest, ears, and down below.

Too many hairs for my liking.

By the way....

Did you ever wonder why Michael Caine was so hairless, even though he is the epitome of MANLINESS?

I could never figure this one out, try as I might.

One of my favorite actors, even though he hasn't even one hair on his chest...

Michael Caine is one of the more amusing actors who refuses to take himself too seriously.

Wish there were more like him in this world...

These days....

DUMB BOOK, but....the following song is far better than the book, fortunately...

So, this is a good lesson to learn...

Sometimes the song is better than the book....

My Friends,

Here is a word which encompasses ALL, or almost all.

Don't you just love the way this word, EPISTEMOLOGY, rolls of the tongue?

But, what does it really mean in our day-to-day mundane lives,...IF it should mean nothing at all?

In fact, we NEED this word, today, more than we ever needed it before!

Any thoughts?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology

EPISTEMOLOGY is a word that we should all be more familiar with.

Just for our own good, me thinks.

What do YOU think?

DON'T Give UP!

UTUBE might continue to bother you for awhile...off and on...but...

In the END, the UTUBE Artificial Intelligence algorithm will finally...

Just give up.

After all....

Even an AI knows, full well....

Google Can't get blood from a stone....

It UPS to you...

But, I will NEVER pay Google for content provided by people like me....

UNLESS, the people like me get, at least, 90 PERCENT of the profit....

Google is WAY too BIG, now.....

NO COMPANY should ever be allowed to get THIS BIG....

We NEED  to fight back.

I will NEVER PAY under these circumstances....

But....UPS to you....as I say....

I will NEVER PAY the tax to Google....WITHOUT representation.

Google NEVER listens to anybody....Not Even Congress.

So.....

They can try to get blood from a stone if they like....

Good Luck!

What are we living for?

Do you think you could EMIGRATE?

You see....

The THING about the KINKS, guys, is that the quality and staying-power of their music NEVER DIES....

a.  Sure, it is true that I might drink a few gallons of Spanish Extra-Virgin, just to make a name for myself on ThaiVisa...

b.  But, what would that be, compared to the amazing gift of the KINKS to the world at large?

I love Spanish olive oil.

I love the KINKS, even more.

Anytime I need a boost in spirit, I can ALWAYS depend upon the KINKS to buoy me up.

While, drinking a gallon of olive oil always just gives me the runs.

Spanish olive oil is my favorite.

The KINKS are my favorite band, no contest.

Thank gods I am still alive to hear them....

Because...

Someday, maybe in the not too-distant future...
I might not be able to hear them again...

Depending upon where I am heading.

And we ALL know where I will be heading, soon.

I HATE the sound of harps, anyway.

You know...
Sometimes I think...

That, IF EVERY DAY were a KINKS' Waterloo Sunset, ...then...

I might not even need resort to drinking so much Spanish Olive Oil....

But, no matter how beautiful the song...

It's just a song.

You cannot live inside it...

Forever....

Right?

Get in line, most stupid comes first.

The OP's assertion his system will make the amino acids necessary for life from olive oil alone is dietary lunacy, as olive oil is a collection of mono, di and triglycerides of various unsaturated fatty acids. No amines present. It's like making beer without yeast.

Look, Sir...

I REALIZE that you do NOT realize just how much I appreciate your good comments.

And this just proves how much you do not know about me.

I have the GREATEST respect for a chemist who has spent most of his life solving real=world problems in chemistry.

Therefore, I am just saying that you go me wrong, Sir.

I DO respect you....

Even though...I am sure...

You don't even care....

Take care, Sir!

Your body cannot make amino acids, especially the 8 necessary ones to ensure maintenance.

Amino Acids in olive oil

 

Tryptophan 0.0g %0

Threonine 0.0g %0

Isoleucine 0.0g %0

Leucine 0.0g %0

Lysine 0.0g %0

Methionine 0.0g %0

Cystine 0.0g %0

Phenylalanine 0.0g %0

Tyrosine 0.0g %0

Valine 0.0g %0

Histidine 0.0g %0

In my opinion, all of these amino acids can be synthesized by the human body....

And, so...

What?

Me worry?
