      That one I think about if I got three wishes. First one would be always have green lights. More specifically I wish for unlimited luck that includes nothing impending my right of way. Just smooth traffic at all times.

        If you can wish for anything why not wish for the ability to teleport? Or for there to actually be good public transit…

    Continually inspired with amazing ideas. But the moment you try to write them down or describe to anyone else, they just fade away.

    Like waking up after an amazing dream and trying to remember it long enough to tell anyone else.

      And put a whole bunch of fleshy bits right next to them, and even though they’ll always be in the same relative positions you’ll bite the fleshy bits just frequently enough to wonder why the teeth and fleshy bits are in such close proximity and how after X years of existence this is still happening.

      We evolved in a world with little sugar, few starchy plants. 15,000 years ago everyone (except those where sugar cane grew) had excellent teeth

      In the fossil record bad teeth come at the same time as bread, though it took sugar (especially in fizzy drinks) to make everyone fat and diabetic

      I eat carnivore and haven’t brushed my teeth in five years and have not had any tooth aches

        The other white substance that you should watch for that our ancient ancestors never had to deal with is …

        SALT

        Like too much sugar … consuming a substance that was rare to our ancient ancestors is bad for your health … you might have excellent teeth, but you might keel over with a heart attack or a stroke.

          Much of the stuff about salt and heart health is bullshit. It’s from a well publicized hypothesis that was never tested

          Having said that we don’t need much, I don’t add salt to the beef which is more than 90% of my diet, I do add a small amount of salt to water after a heavy drinking session, it’s good for rehydration, and I don’t drink, especially heavily often

          When I was on keto I took a lot of salt (which is why I looked up the current scientific position on it) and I can tell you it’s pretty difficult to take too much, salt tastes terrible if you have had enough

          The thing that increased heart disease: same as everything else, sugar. It prevents use of the circulating fat, which is carried in high density cholesterol. Fatty acids (fats) build up as you eat more fats but cannot burn them because carbohydrates must be burnt first

          The HDL cholesterol exceeds its lifespan with nowhere to deliver the fat and breaks up, this increases free fatty acids (with no protective cholesterol cage) and small fragments of the HDL cage, those fragments are the ones that embed in the walls of blood vessels, collect calcium and eventually break off as a calcified clump and blocks something important

        Yeah, that’s how you can get an oddly dull but thought-stopping intense pain that’s reminiscent of a bad cramp. The sort that feels like something’s taking a bite, but from the inside, or like being punched in slow motion but there’s no fist to push away and oh boy that smarts for the love of god make it stop.

        The intensity fades as quickly as it sets in but you won’t want to touch that part of your body for a while afterwards in case you set it off again. In time a bruise may develop, but not always.

          What? Most people do what I have described, it just helps for the scratching feeling, there’s no side effect. I don’t know where your imagination took you.

    Dang! Bill Westlake no less! Me and Bill Westlake fist-fought each other in junior high school and again shortly after we’d both graduated from highschool in our shitty northern California ag-town.

    We hated each other back then, but I feel nothing but brotherly feels for him now, 30 years later.

    I hope you are thriving Bill Westlake. I hope you have done well in life and I feel no animosity toward you whatsoever.

    Your clothes will always have that slightly itchy feeling that makes you wanna move and twitch a little if you remove your clothes, it only gets stronger
