All my machine tools are manual which I love running but dreaming of a small CNC lathe someday. Can’t justify the cost currently. I have a CNC spindle router in my woodshop and rigged up a machinist vice so I have a cheater CNC mill at least when the manual one is too slow.

It’s a 1968 LeBlonde Regal 16” gear head. I got it from the original shop it shipped to in 1968. It treats me very well for everything I throw at it. I also have a pair of Hardinge lathes, an HLV-H and DSM-59. Those are quite the pair to have back to back!

It’s just a matter of time before this really starts hitting hard. There will always be room for some to keep their jobs but just like CNC’s did for manufacturing, job rolls will shift and change. It’ll probably turn into a much smaller number of coders overseeing the code than actually writing it. Interesting times ahead.

I’ve heard this as well with wheat abroad but I’ve yet to have the chance to experiment myself. A few friends have first hand accounts of that experience so it’s very true. For me it seems to be all wheat that I can get here, organic or not. I’m not one but celiac is rampant in my family so it’s probably a slight variation of that.
I feel for you, I dealt with exactly your scenario for the majority of my life and was in and out of doctors and hospitals for 5-6 years in my late 20’s. After essentially the same experience you’re having and getting zero relief from treatments doctors tried, I took matters into my own hands and did exactly what you’re doing which led me to discover it was wheat. It’s a tough road figuring out GI issues, I have two close people in my life going through similar I’m helping out right now, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone having gone through it myself. Once I figured it out it completely changed my life in the best way possible. The challenge is worth the reward if you can find relief. Stick with it! You got this! 💪🏼
Thanks for the morning convo 👋🏼

One thing I’ve always found quite odd about it is that I suffered from horrible gut problems for the first 30 years of my life. Turned out it was wheat (or whatever passes for that in the US) causing a massive amount of inflammation in my body. Once I figured this out and got it under control is when my sleep patterns really locked into the 6 hour routine. I’d be curious to understand how it might be linked. I’m sure it has to do with your bodies way of handling inflammation but I’ve never done a deep dive.

This has actually been my whole
life so before screens were so prevalent but they certainly can affect it of course. Certainly not denying that’s a factor.
I’m a professional musician and also have a cat so getting consistent sleep is nearly impossible sometimes but when I’m home for longer stretches I always feel best.
It runs in my family as well, neither of my parents sleep very much either and never have.

It was a joke 😂 I’m one of those weirdos who does run best on 6 hours of sleep. Anything over 6 regularly makes me very groggy for the first half of the day. Every once in a while I’ll get a full 7-8 though and feel refreshed.

Who you surround yourself with is key to this as well. Nothing drives me crazier than people that try and hold you to who you were years in the past. Usually these are the people in your life holding you back the most. Curiosity, exploration, and especially failure and recovery from that failure are some of the most important parts of finding true joy and meaning from life.

Yeah, a lot of the wording in those articles is really odd. It reads more like an opinion hit piece than it does actual stating of facts. I read another very similar one from Gizmodo yesterday that was even worse. Using language like “goons” and “young miscreants”. It’s all so strange when view objectively.

Seems like Mike has a hard time coming up with receipts. Putting text in quotes and saying “sources say” aren’t actual sources. Even the Wired article can’t actually do anything but make assumptions and accusations with no proof.
I agree that this is extremely concerning if it’s true. I just can’t find any evidence that it’s not just another string of hit pieces from the left leaning side of the tech industry. I certainly won’t be surprised if everything goes to shit of course but I know the blame lies on all of these incompetent politicians on both sides of the isle that got us to this point.

I used to get constantly picked on and singled out as a kid. Not physically bullied but consistently embarrassed in front of all my classmates for no reason other than being a nerd, mostly isolated from pop/clothing trends, quiet, and shy.
I became completely immune to it and it’s led me to be able to get on a stage in front of 1000’s of strangers to perform and not feel horrified if I make a mistake or show I’m human in some other way. I couldn’t care less what other people think of me anymore 💪🏼

A lot of my work is similar. Machining the same part hundreds of times, sanding wooden pieces for finishing, or standing at a CNC machine making sure it doesn’t destroy my parts.

I think it can go too far and is nuanced. All of my childhood bullies inflated their egos so large prematurely because of their success bullying their way to the top of the class hierarchy. Every single one of them has utterly failed as an adult because they really thought this would apply through life as success. Yes, it helped me succeed in the long run but at the detriment to many in hindsight. Balance is key here ⚖️

Not only are the pharmaceuticals a major problem with our health, it’s also a lot of the doctors that were educated by big pharma’s money and influence.

Yeah, I feel like his presidential run really changed everything about his focus and approach. He started forgetting who he actually was representing and fighting for I think. In 2017, a band I was playing with performed before a big rally he had in the state. It was eye opening to see him speak and engage with people shortly after his loss. He acted more like a major celebrity than someone who actually cared about each individual in the crowd like he had in years past. Vermont still loves him somehow but things are awfully slow to change in this little corner of the country.

Adult ADHD - new fad drug script?
Is anyone else noticing a huge uptick in fellow adults in your circles being prescribed Adderall? In the last year I’ve lost count of how many people I know who have told me they’re now on it. I’m suspicious this is a new script fad and find it pretty sad how quickly people are to reach for a poisonous band-aid in pill form.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager and was on Ritalin for a couple years so I’m no stranger to this condition or these drugs. I ditched it and worked hard at learning how to navigate and manage living with severe ADHD among other conditions I’m stuck with. It can be challenging sometimes but I find it to be a super power when you learn how to focus it and can successfully. The intense hyper focus of a skilled and tuned ADHD mind is a powerful one. I have a feeling many of my fellow bitcoiners fall in a similar category.
Why someone would want to change and mute their brain chemistry instead of learning how to master it is beyond my capability to categorize into anything but pure laziness and apathy for their own life and mind.
20 years ago in my area the local doctors over prescribed Oxycodone so extremely that it created a raging heroin problem that still has its grips today. I lost many friends to it from OD or just fading into horrible addiction. I’ll never forgive the doctors in my small town that did this. I know who they are and they know what they did.
I have a bad feeling that the pharma reps are pushing Adderall prescriptions for some reason. Or, my thought is doctors and patients love their fad meds just like all those dieters love their shitty fad diets that do nothing. Except these drugs really fuck you up over time. It’s not a question of “if” you get the side effects, it’s a question of what side effects will you get, when, and how severely? They all come with side effects.
Big pharma is one of the most difficult two sided coins I can think of that we’re forced to live with currently. I have witnessed their drugs save loved ones lives time and time again and solve debilitating health issues and have even saved my life a number of times in various ways. But on the flip side they completely ruin and destroying the same amount or possibly even more than they save.
I’m never one to root for any politician but here’s hoping RFK Jr. gets in this week and starts rattling some cages and does what he promises he can do. I don’t trust any of them but the small chance he can possibly move the needle gives me hope for a better future for health and awareness in this country. If not now, maybe in years ahead even.
The healthcare system in this country almost killed me in my 20’s. In the end I did the opposite of everything I was advised and now a little over 10 years later I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. They can’t be allowed to go on like this.
