Some of you may have noticed that my YouTube content is gone. It's not actually gone, it's just been moved! I recently migrated all my YouTube content to my site, available to members for just $3.99/mo (along with all the other perks). ❤️✌️

When do collagen supplements actually work for skin (even when calorie and protein matched by % and gram/kg)? When the skin is burned.
Why? Most plausibly because a major burn creates an enormous acute requirement for new collagen deposition during the proliferative phase of healing. It's quite possibly the single most taxing type of injury when it comes to increasing collagen synthesis demand.
Then suddenly you see everything you want in a collagen trial. Not just statistical significance, but very strong and clinically meaningful effect sizes.
And notice how there's no circle jerking around with mechanistic elasticity/hydration proxies masquerading as outcomes, no fake numbers, no misclassification of studies to hide industry funding required.
When it comes to burns, none of the bullshit is needed to pretend it works. It just works.
Hey y'all! We're almost at the finish line! After a whole year, and probably ~1K commits and ~200,000 lines of code later, Enaychi (formerly nutriDex) is nearing its V1 release on the Google Play Store! Basically, Enaychi is an all-in-one tracker for nutrition, exercise, medications, biometrics, with support for fitness devices.
Features: source.uprootnutrition.com/u…
Web-app: enaychi.com
But, here's where I could use your help!
There's still a lot more to do! I'm planning to integrate a massive nutrition database covering 1.4 million foods and 600+ nutrients/compounds, with the goal of Enaychi basically just deprecating all other trackers over night. I'm also developing this app entirely on my own. AI tools have been invaluable in accelerating development, but the costs just rack up like a motherfucker, and I burn through my current AI subscriptions in a matter of days. This means I spend a shit ton of the development time hand-coding, which takes fucking forever and needlessly keeps the app out of users hands longer.
I'm hoping to raise ~$300 for a Claude Max 20 subscription ($600 would be ideal for a couple months worth if needed) to help accelerate development and get these features into your hands sooner. I'm personally committed to funding this project by selling personal possessions, but any community support would make a genuine difference. ❤️
If you believe in what I'm building and can spare a few dollars, I'd be incredibly grateful! ❤️

This is basically how every macro planner should look. This is a macro planner done sensibly. You can literally do whatever the fuck you want with this. Want protein in g/kg and carbs as a percentage? You got it; made easy with the backfill feature. It's just so based. 👌

This is sad. As much as I get upset at the zealots, I do feel bad for people who get indoctrinated in this bullshit 😕
I regret to inform my community that my debate opponent, CarnivorePolice (aka StormblessedJ), has passed away. Claimed by schizophrenia; according to a family member who reached out, his condition compelled him to eat only ground beef, and he died of nutritional complications. 🕯️

Full support for the Mosquito Genocide.
Went to see the new Resident Evil movie last night. I'd give it 4/10. All four of those points were claimed by the cinematography. Otherwise, fuck that movie, lmfao.

Every take haver on the internet ruminates on GLP1s and the well polished thought product they produce is “wtf how are we supposed to know who to have disdain for now?”

Silo season 3 basically lost me. The memory drug is such a dumb plot device. It's like the black goo from Prometheus—it just does whatever is needed to push the plot forward. Need the hero to become retarded? You got it. Need a good guy to become a mass murderer? You got it. 🙄

Just in case it needs to be said: You do not need to be an Effective Altruist or buy into Rethinking Priorities, or anything adjacent to that movement in order to understand that factory farming is one of, if not the most profoundly evil things humanity has done and must end.
