@cjd My understanding was the good old RSA was secure against quantum with sufficient key size. I.e. a 4096 bit key requires a 4096 qbit quantum computer to solve. 4095 qbits does not "mostly" solve it.

Meat is the easiest way to ensure full nutrition. Especially as the list of known essential fatty acids, vitamins, etc keeps growing with research.

However, there are and have been fully nourished vegan cultures. The key is growing the plants in real soil. (Or Real Soil, as an activist group is named.) Chemical fertilizer is efficient in many ways, but it does not replace carbon in the soil, and it kills the normal soil microbes. These microbes make the essential nutrients typically lacking for a Western vegan. B12 is the best known, but there are many more. Also, a vegan diet has to include fungi, which provides more essential nutrients not found elsewhere outside of meat.

Note that corn fed cows do not get B12, and get sickly without artificial B12 supplements (cyanocobalamin). The synthetic B12 must be detoxified by the liver - this is a problem for humans taking B12 supplements (makes about 1/1000 human supplement takers insane through neurotoxicity). When you eat corn fed cows, their liver has already detoxified the synthetic B12, so there is that.

However, corn fed cows have acid stomachs. Their normal diet of grass creates low acid stomachs, and the natural E-coli are harmless to humans with high acid stomachs. The acid stomach of corn fed cows breed an acid tolerant strain of E-coli which is deadly to humans. So eating corn fed cows is riskier than grass fed.

Furthermore, the fat composition of corn fed cows is unhealthy - reversing the normal Omega 3 to Omega 6 ration. This affects both meat and butter. This is made worse by the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) environment of corn fed cows. You have the bovine equivalent of a couch potato eating junk food. Not something you want to eat long term.

Bottom line: eat 100% grass fed beef (and pasture raised chicken, etc), and/or fruits/veggies/fungi grown in Real Soil.

We get beef from Polyface farms run by Joel Salatin who has the hands on experience and research in the cows/chickens aspect. He has written a number of books: I recommend "Folks, This Ain't Normal".

In general, for those who aren't farmers, the solution to Big Farm problems is similar to the solution for Big Tech problems. Know Your Farmer. We have talked to Joel Salatin and visit his farm every year or so. Have you talked to your mail admin?

@cjd ICANN can (and has) canceled TLDs and domains (on threat of canceling TLD) for political reasons. The shadowy "TLS cabal" selects CAs for inclusion in the "trusted" list for mainstream browsers. Any CA on the list can forge any cert whenever they want.

ICANN is ok for public websites - but if you want actual security, run your own TLD and CA. Like we did in the old days before ICANN.

We've been CLI (manual) signing certs, but I'm about to try this open source ACME server for private CAs/TLDs:
https://github.com/smallstep/certificates

@cjd Run your own ACME server for .pkt. Like the one I linked.

The BIG issue is that Normies only comprehend how to add fully trusted CAs to their browser (allowed to validate any domain). We need a normie friendly way to add a PKCS#11 policy that e.g. does *not* trust cabal CAs for .PKT and *only* trusts your CA for .PKT.

@cjd This was the mistake Eli and Samuel and David made in the Bible. This was the mistake Saddam Hussein made in Iraq. Their sons committed capital crimes, for which they executed the populace, but they protected their sons. Rules for thee but not for me and my kin.

@freemo Most people were not aware there were real vaccines available for Covid-19. In fact, there weren't in the US. (The DNA based shots were almost as bad.)

@freemo A fair point - but when was the last time Congress actually set a budget? (Was it under Clinton?) It's been nothing but CRs for many decades.

@freemo My daughter and son-in-law got the sino-vac (non mRNA). They wouldn't have gotten anything, since Covid is not dangerous for healthy young people - but they were required to get something because they were pilots. So the Sino-vac essentially gave them Covid.

@freemo The problem is that the mRNA shots were called "vaccines", and that is what "anti-vaxxers" are protesting against. It was never against real vaccines. At the RFK level, there is protest against *untested* vaccines - essentially all real vaccines developed since 1986, when Congress absolved Pharma of liability for vaccine injuries. Before 1986, each vaccine went through about 5 years of testing. Now, new vaccines (e.g. "flu" vaccine) goes through at most 5 days of testing.

In the case of flu, it is similar enough to previous vaccines that new vaccine injuries are unlikely (and there has been no increase). But more novel new vaccines, like the RSV is more worrisome. Hopefully, while there was only days of testing before release, there are non-fraudulent records kept of injuries as it it used (since there is no liability).

@freemo If you're doing something actually harmful to others, like smuggling hard drugs, the Soros prosecutor will let you off anyway.

Agnostics can be further divided into at least:

1) soft agnostic - I don't personally know if there is a God or not, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of knowing.

2) hard agnostic - it is impossible in principle to know if there is a God or not. Those who think they do are wrong.

@freemo What I kept hearing with your original joke were the countless Batman sitcom episodes I watched as a child, and Robin would exclaim: "Holy ____ Batman!" Fill in the blank with some especially ludicrous aspect of the story.

@freemo "holy" means "set apart". So unless you have set a particular moley apart for religious purposes - it is an ordinary moley. A moley becomes sacrilegious when a holy (set apart) moley is desecrated, or an ordinary moley is used to mock holy moleys.

@freemo In the G. K. Chesterton novel "The Napoleon of Notting Hill", the king of England in the future is chosen by random selection from a pool of all eligible citizens.

@freemo I have limbo proximaly everything.

@freemo @stux Ironically, a similar provision was made for the Jews when Haman obtained a decree allowing their extermination. Esther 8

"By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions. The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar."

The decree to allow their extermination could not be revoked. But the additional decree gave official permission for the Jews to arm and defend themselves.

@freemo Defunding *local* police, but increasing funding and staffing for Federal police. (IRS, FBI, etc)

@freemo @mapto @avlcharlie "Lay not up for yourselves treasure on earth - where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal, [and inflation doth devalue]."

Investing in people is also a thing:

For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

@freemo The Christian claim is not that atheists in particular can't be moral, but that NO ONE is good.

"They have all gone astray. They have all together become corrupt. There is no one that does good. Not even one."

Religion just washes the outside. The result is what Jesus called "whitewashed sepulchers, full of dead men's bones".
