  1. Whenever this topic comes up it's a good time to reflect on Natural (animal) freedom. Ex: Homo Sapien is the only animal species that has co-opted "birthrites."
  2. Along with losing weight the other fantastic benefit of low carb/no carb fueling regime is that you avoid 95% of the toxic chemical sludge that they put into processed and packaged food which is most of the carbs being made and sold. The #1 toxin you will be avoiding is added sugar. #2 are those dreadful PUFAs found in seed oils.
  3. Oh my - that was my birthday too. My condolences to your family.
  4. It's a great progress you have made. Over the years you may have developed some insulin resistance. That happens to most people who have T2D and have been overweight. There's a thing called "non-alcoholoic fatty liver disorder" which contributes to insulin resistance. Good luck an continued health!
  5. Looks like a lot of weight is being shed around here!
  6. I think you are right, Jeff. But I can't seem to edit the poll, so I'll chalk it up to mistake and forget about it.
  7. I started a poll about memory, but apparently I didn't allow replies. And now, I can't see how to add that feature. Anyone know how? THX
  8. It is often said that "scientific materialism" is the dominant belief in the Western world. I'm curious how that might overlay on this forum?
  9. Monkey-wrenching in Vegas....I love it!
  10. They are as classic sounding as Klipsch speakers! I am giving up my guitar playing and have three remaining vintage Martins from my collection. **1948 000-18 in good for $5900 **1973 0-16NY in mint condition for $2400 **1968 0-16NY in great condition for $2000 I don't want to clog up the Klipsch airwaves with this stuff. Travis was kind enough to let me post it. So, if you have any interest in these, send me a PM and I can link you to my G-drive with all the pics and so forth. All guitars are fully playable, and none of them need neck resets or fretwork. They are all original to the best of my knowledge. They come with cases, but not original cases. Pictured is the 1973.
  11. Nice pictures Bruce. I also have tons of photos from the film age, and I really like the look of them. I did eventually switch to digital, but in truth I never enjoyed the outcome or the process. I loved developing film, and like you took more time with each snap.
  12. Yes, I agree that the Internet expanded information breadth at first.
  13. Within all establishment media, there is an acceptable (allowable) range of both ideas to report and critique. It roughly correlates to the "Overton Window." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window The reasons is obvious....having the government as an enemy is bad for profits, or non-profit budgets.
  14. That's the weak point. I once was an avid Frontline viewer, until i noticed that they always pulled their punches when conclusions were unfavorable to government. I fat and away prefer independent journalism.
  15. Right. Well known problem globally. I've been following Dr. Robert Listing for years. He was among the first to declare sugar a toxin---based on metabolic science. Processed food is deadly, and the long tail of it is clearly visible now in many countries. I was once a processed food junkie. It might not meet the technical definition of addiction, but functionally it is the same.
  16. Thanks Travis! I won't abuse it. Cheers!
  17. Of all my Martins i enjoyed playing the '54 00-18 the best. Played it everyday for hours---just because it is so good for the soul! I will miss it dearly, but life has to keep chugging on and a room full of unplayable guitars was going to be a drag!
  18. Is that permissible? I didn't know if that was ok. I'll put something up tomorrow morning.
  19. It is. I have some other vintage Martins too that I must dispose of. I lost my ability to play due to severe arthritis in my hands. Time to move on, and take up new hobbies. I've sold about 6 vintage Martins this year and have 3 left plus one Gibson.
  20. Yessir! If anyone has interest it is over on the" Vintage Martins for Sale" group on Facebook.
  21. Parlor guitars? I have a mint condition '73 Martin 0-16NY I'd like to move on to someone else.
  22. I'm quite attracted to many of the ideas Rupert Shelldrake advances - especially morphic resonance. His challenge to "conventional mechanistic science" is also quite brilliant.
  23. One of the largest is "STRIDE" - - NYSE: LRN See financials here: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LRN/financials?p=LRN Looks pretty profitable to me.
  24. That's funny. The controversy at hand wasn't the definition - simple enough - but rather the application. The offense being called out as censorship centered around the WHO, not the WHAT. Anyone on Earth can proclaim themselves a "fact checker," and then, by arbitrary authority (government selection, let's say), declare a particular claim to be "disinformation" and have it removed from the public sphere. This process renders the dictionary definition moot. And there lies the controversy which is easily uncovered by anyone spending a day pursuing the bones and learning the context of the controversy over "misinformation."
  25. I must have missed an important post. Who blamed the government for their problems?
