save the frogs

there are some organizations who would like to put restrictions on travel at some point for climate change. such as ... you're only allowed to take an international flight once every 3 years. not sure how influential they will be persuading govts. not sure people will accept it. or if the travel industry will fight it. maybe we should travel less and stay longer in one place when we do travel. hopefully in the future they will invent airplanes that run on coca-cola instead of fuel. we seem to have an abundance of coca-cola and maybe we'll find more on mars. ps .. .there are deals to be had now ... there were european cruises on sale for 26$/night a few weeks back.

this is the only info i've gathered so far. if you watch the video, andrew yang mentions that blockchain can used to store people's medical files. so it stays in the blockchain and goes wherever you go rather than in one particular hospital's database. at 7:41 he mentions municipalities may experiment with local currencies that will help drive people to local small businesses and non-profits. they may issue basic income or some sort of cash payouts that can only be used at local businesses and they will expire your money if you don't use it in 2 weeks.

maybe i don't know what i'm talking about. but what i'm saying is it won't be actual bitcoin that becomes the currency. but govt-issued blockchain digital currencies similar to bitcoin. bitcoin was only used to popularize the technology because people don't like radical change.

Generally speaking, I am in agreement that low-carb is healthy. The only exception being fruit. I started eating a considerable amount of fruit, which as you know is high carb. So I don't consider myself low-carb anymore, but I don't eat other types of carbs (apart from cheat meals). So we are generally in agreement. Fruit seems controversial. Many experts warn against fruit due to high carb content, high fructose levels, and high glycemic index. And my main point was despite the risks of high glycemic index and high carbs being a problem, low carb diets lacks electrolytes. Low carb diets are low in magnesium, potassium. Low carb diets lack Vitamin C. There's no Vitamin C in meat, eggs ... That was my main point. I will not repeat it ad nauseum and engage in an endless ping pong match. Not will I quote scientific literature. Any adult should be able to use google to look things up. Apart from this one video. You can see both doctors very nervously discussing fruit due to its hugh sugar content. But one doctor admits that one study showed that consumption of fruit did not negatively impact metabolic syndrome. I suppose you can restrict yourself to low-glycemic berries, but I don't. Peace out.

this might be crappy advice. but here goes: for the bank, change your online banking password. create a new gmail account. transfer important stuff from the old account. re-install the operating system. the hacking is from the wifi in your apartment? did someone hack into your wifi? i would contact the internet provider.

sorry, i dont know.

this generational war is silly. the powers that be pretty much set the agenda. and we all need to follow it to survive in society.

no it doesnt.

hey you. what's in the backpack? books. i'm going to school. i'm a phd student.

another excuse not to work out ... you might catch covid.

why was the backpack suspicious?

not sure long distance running is a good idea. i think it decreases muscle mass. and possibly increases risk of heart attack. anyway, i will quit the thread because this conversation will go on forever.

probably mostly due to excessive alcohol consumption

Interesting theory. Extremely low carb may make people highly irritable and argumentative on internet forums. Have a banana, people!

Jeez, argumentative much? Here's a link to explain what I meant by 'too much'.

Not sure. My limited understanding is: The current version of crypto has been some sort of intermediary phase. Digital currencies will be issued by govts and centralized, so eliminating fraud and speculation.

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/free-public-transit The Case for Making Public Transit Free Everywhere From Spain to Germany and Luxembourg to Estonia, more and more countries are experimenting with fare-free transportation.

what are you talking about? it's my OPINION based on what I've read. I suppose I can provide links to back up this claim, but it may just turn into an endless ping pong match. as i mentioned in a previous post, you can find some of the top medical researchers in the world engaging in debates on Youtube. if some of the world's top doctors and researchers can't agree on everything, do you think you will conclusively argue each and every one of your points on this forum? at some point, you need to take in information and just "go with your gut". because there is a lot of conflicting information in the nutritional world. and clearly, what i say has no clout as i am just a man with a frog avatar. so get your information directly from the source ie qualified professionals. I think I'm going to extricate myself from this conversation now.

not shoes. but essential services may become increasingly cheap(er) and maybe even free. maybe public transit? childcare? money comes from tax reforms i guess. i ain't no economist.

I believe that consistently feeding yourself food with high nutritional value and high in protein throughout your life is a big part of slowing loss of strength. By all means, do resistance training. But my point is that, realistically, you will not get most people to do it. Resistance training is HARD.

cute? ha ha.

ok. you may be right.

This is from World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/12/do-cryptocurrencies-have-a-future-an-expert-explains/

I stumbled on the World Economic Forum web site ... I came across this article ... 2030 is still a long time away ... Also I am not exactly sure what it means. But one way I am interpreting this is that it COULD MEAN that expats in Thailand and anywhere in the world will no longer need medical insurance because of the phrasing "no matter the location and time". https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/12/universal-health-coverage-health-for-all/ Will universal health coverage deliver health for all by 2030? Henceforth, it is imperative to assert here that universal health coverage remains the only means of ensuring healthcare for all citizens of the world, no matter the location and time.

I hate doing actual cardio in a gym. And I think too much intense cardio isn't healthy. But I enjoy tennis. It doesn't feel like work. And I'm a huge fan of simple ol' walking. It doesn't feel laborious like being in a gym. Especially if you are in nice surroundings. It's low impact, its good for blood flow, it helps lower blood pressure, it helps keep the weight down, its outdoors so you're increasing oxygen to the brain.
