Good Morning Nostriches. We are off to LinuxFest Northwest this morning. We are bringing ham radio and purple pills to LinuxFest! #lfnw #coffechain #linuxfest #hamradio #amateurradio

7ppm this morning on the ketometer. I was grumpy and felt horrible and had some carbs last night. I think that's why I feel foggier than normal this morning. However this morning I am back at it, had the last of my pressure cooked brisket this morning. Some coffee is next on my agenda. #keto #coffeechain #ketovore

Carb cravings, I must stand strong. Down another 1.2lbs today. #ketovore I had for breakfast a bit of yesterday's pressure cooked brisuit with drippings gravy and a piece of pork sausage. I also had 3 blackberries... They taste so so sweet now, I can only eat a few.

Learning how to separate a brisket was fun. I bought this prime beef brisket from costco because the price seemed pretty good. However, I'm going to have to find a local butcher or something to make this more sustainable. I don't have a smoker and this brisket was just too big to eat as it was (16.5 lbs). So I separated the top from the flat. Then cut each in half, vacuum sealed, and froze them. I'm making another piece of the top on Tuesday, perhaps in the pressure cooker. The last one turned out great. #plebchain #ketovore #carnivore #meatjourney

I have been considering sharing my new lifestyle journey. I was gradually transitioning but have made the switch nearly completely. At first I thought this was crazy, and I'm not ready to commit to full carnivore... But so far there is something to this... I have familial high cholesterol, a previous type 2 heart attack (covid vaccine caused) and was borderline prediabetic on my last blood draw. I decided something needed to change. I'm still consuming low glycemic load fruits and veggies. I'm down about 7 lbs in the past 3 weeks since I started keto(vore?). I was down more yesterday, but my body decided it wanted water back, so I am up 1.2 lbs last 24h. I am not largely obese, but could definitely do with less visceral fat. My love handles have mostly disappeared and my pants are falling down already, had to put a new notch in my belt. This is despite me going into this gradually (except o dropped sugar and seed oils straight away). I am hoping to be down below 200lbs in the next 2 months. I don't think that's an unobtainable goal, that's only 5-6 lbs away. After that I will switch to making more lean muscle rather than just trying to maintain muscle mass. Realistically. I cannot go back to how I was in my mid-twenties at about 150lbs (I have more muscle mass now, I was a twig). Most challenging thing!? Having some nice fatty meat ready whenever I get hungry. I am eating 5-6 times a day, I get ravenously hungry with very little notice. It comes in waves. I tried low glycemic load fruits, but they don't touch it. It has to be meat. During those times, I don't crave carbs anymore. I just eat meat then. I eat as much as I want. The carb cravings come still sometimes, but I don't want sugar anymore at all. I can sometimes crave breads or potatoes. This morning though, I had one taste of the hash browns I made for the family and found I didn't want them. I just consumed all the bacon and eggs I could get my hands on. I tried a little piece of candy last week and found it too sweet. Unejoyably so. I'd prefer to have some homemade whipped cream(unsweetened) as a treat. Which is great, almost pure fats, and sweet already as it is, perhaps with a touch of vanilla extract. Also, with the onset of ketosis, my breath feels different, I'm pretty sure I can feel myself breathing out ketones like deep in my lungs. Its always strongest before I eat in the morning, but I'm feeling it pretty much all day now. Its kinda like the feeling you get all day after a really good cardio workout. How do I feel!? More energetic, especially in the mornings. I'm ready to get out of bed and go for a hunt. I can start to drag by the evenings though, probably because I wake up so early. Perhaps later I'll post about some of the meats I've been trying. Calf's liver, that was a treat!! #ketovore #carnivore #plebchain

The day when you realize that if that guy is a Bitcoin OG, then so are you... I thought I was late, but apparently not. #bitcoin #plebchain

Who has worked with nitinol!? I love the idea of making antennas with it. Is it hard to work with? #hamradio #antennas

Time for some 18650s and to spin up the 3d printer. #hamradio #amateurradio #3dprinting

Once you've been silently perma-banned on many mastodon node for just having an opinion that is more nuanced than the prevailing thoughts of the day, you realize how important it is to have more control over your communications. I welcome people to block me if I annoy them, however I don't think I have such strong or radical opinions to be quietly and permanently silenced on many nodes. I consider myself rather rational in my opinions, and I'm not out to damage anyone. I also welcome feedback, and I'm OK with disagreement. If your argument requires silencing others in order to stand... Than maybe your argument can't stand on its own merits... That isnt my fault. Do better, be better. Im saying it again, I think I'm ready to leave the #fediverse... At this point, there isnt much holding me there. #nostr has been a welcome breath of fresh air. #plebchain
