    • Dr. Gil Carvalho, MD PhD Nutrition Made Simple.

    No sponsors. Sells nothing. Just an enthusiastic scientist who discusses studies and interviews anyone willing. Truly in it for the greater good.

    • Talking With Docs (2 Canadian surgeons).

    These guys are cool, entertaining, and informative. No red flags I’ve seen.

    Avoid like plague:

    • Eckberg
    • Berry
    • Berg

    There’s another guy I can’t remember his name but is so full of hate and vitriol and insults. He’s British. If I recall all indications point to his cardiology background being a total fraud.




  • When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.

    So far, Mr. Right has not materialized. Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are … “Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.

    LOL so the only one who responded was Stephen Miller.

    Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.




  • I remember at the age of 16 my older sister who at the time taught AP US Government trying to explain to me the difference between Political Party and Political Ideology and stupid me not quite getting it.

    By 20 I was heavily invested in politics and learning US history and I could easily understand how ideologies could flip party banners.

    Yet I speak, in real life, to Trump supporters up through their 60s and they cannot grasp this.





  • Interesting! I have the inverted perception. All subjective of course, and it probably has to do with my being less interested in the gritty thriller aspect of the other two. That said I thought Riddick did a great job blending the two. If you haven’t done so, I highly recommend watching the “Unrated” version of Riddick and the Director’s Cut of Chronicles of Riddick which elevate both films significantly.

    CoR had so many big, unique characters and good actors. Lord Marshal, The Purifier, Karl Urban as Vaako, Dame Vaako, Keith David as Imam, Judi Dench as the Elemental, etc. In our house, it’s one of the most quotable movies up there with Sin City. Some of the cinematography is stunning, too.

    Yeah nothing as groundbreaking as Blade Runner for instance, but just one of those films that has such high replayability for us.










  • I’m reading pilot error is around 70% with 10% being mechanical? Either way, the amount of regulatory oversight, having 2 pilots on commercial flights is far safer. Leaving aside the fact that a single engine is a single point of failure while all airliners must be verified to fly with half their engines working.

    I think while pilot error can lead us to believe we can train ourselves to be above the problem, we must also understand the nature of GA and single points of failure leave little room for error, again, unlike commercial aviation where there are often multiple levels of redundancy.

    So for me personally, I just can’t bring myself to do it. Especially considering that driving is already one of the most dangerous things we do on a daily basis and I only do that mostly out of necessity.
