... Sorry for the long delay :) Since Jul '19 I have been volunteering on my local ambulance. Since I started I have become a certified EMT, and now I can help as a full provider. Really enjoy the work.

... long time sorry. I lost it by not eating breakfast, eating a very small lunch, and a normal portion size dinner. No eating after 8pm, and that was it. Mind you I was eating fast food for lunch, a huge dinner and snacking late. Real issue was habits, that were unhealthy.

Hello again all!

I have lost 55 lbs, started volunteering in my community, and work and family are doing amazing!

I made an ass of myself on my last peep, and I have regretted it ever since. A lot has happened in the last year, and all for the better. This peep though has haunted me, as it will stand forever on the bc. I am back and want to formally say that my peep was terrible. The end

I am saddened that we, as westerners, must monitor our bodies so closely because we HAVE to. I think it is societal. I spent 8 hrs in front of a computer, 2.5 in the car, then barely have time for family and life errands.
This balance is not good for anyone, and I am feeling it.

Okay I have a problem with the counting. Do we count because we should or because we have to. Is this due to the prepared food, and available foods?
Exercise is also something I get but don't.
I am realizing that my body shouldn't be at a desk, and shouldn't be eating this junk.

That is well done. The attention to detail of the land mass growing to the correct size as you move north and south is really amazing.

Sorry, I realize I shifted gears a little bit there. Diet is half of this, and mind is the other. :) Not enough characters avail in a #peep to convey everything in one go.

I do something similar today too, but I am looking for the psychological change along the way as well. I understand that fasting and meditation can go a long way in resetting body and mind. Also heard that it will change you perception of food, as nourishment only.

I believe that my diet, along with the diet of most Americans, is pretty trashy. I do my best w/whole foods and the like, but I think I might need a cleanse.
I am thinking of a 24h, wait a week, 48h, wait another week and 72 fast(h2o/salt only) for this.
Anyone else done this?

Wow... Just wow. I NEED TO KNOW MORE!

The last segment of #HelloInternet podcast was bloody fantastic. @CGPGrey and @bradyharan lay out some thought provoking stuff regarding attention economy and our attention span. Newark airport? I never want to go there now.

I haven't read any of his books yet. I found him through Christopher Hitchens. Been reading Hitch for years and I have start reading some of Harris' work. His podcast is great because sometimes the conversations are bad, either his fault of the guest.

LOL you should never drive, or operate heavy machinery, when taking anything that will alter your physical and mental state. I only drive on coffee... Which could be said alters the above too.

I live in Maryland, a state in the US that only recently legalized medical use. I have applied for a Cannabis ID card(which required all my PII data to be stored it yet another government database) and now have to go through more hoops to buy it.

I am totally for legalization. My own experience is alcohol vs cannabis. Has the same effects(kinda) but zero negative effects on the body. This is with consuming not smoking BTW.
We are only at the beginning of understanding all cannabis can do because of past restrictions.

Thanks again Shooter. Thought it was a great conversation by the way. Glad I found out about your music, and that you are a geek. My office looks the same :)

Good on ya Nate!
One day... I hope to join the club.

Yes, and he runs a full 7 minute segment at the top as to why he is listener supported, and how you can support him for the cost of a single cup of coffee each month... Avid Sam Harris fan :)
Listener supported is incredibly difficult. Ask Chris Fisher of at Jupiter Broadcasting

Subsidized? I don't think there is enough revenue from one stream of advertising. Web advertising is junk compared to the podcast and music. I don't remember the last time I visited HI or JRE websites.
Are we talking about them making too much money? Because now we have a debate.

What do you think about add all in the front and shortlisted at the back, compared to right in the middle at intervals?
Hello Internet is a interval show, while Joe Rogan is up front. I listen to both, and find Joe's easier to fast forward, and listen to the ones on HI.

I know. I have asked @bevan roughly the same question. Moderation at this scale is straight forward, but what happens when it grows above 1-3k active users peeping all the time.

@bevan that does raise one particular question for me. (mind you I agree with the code of conduct as it stand, and understand contract holds all)

How are you moderating? Live review of new? Peeps being reported? Do you have the staff to handle that much administration/moderation

I really like this one point in the code of conduct:
I will not spread news that I do not know to be certain and will not criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure.
Would bring FB and twitter to its knees.
Name one person you know that follows this today?

@sponnet Github issue created. Not sure if I have provided the best info. Let me know if you need something else.
https://github.com/sponnet/peepfeed/issues/1

@sponnet still only getting a hash and spinning wheel for me. Chrome and FF tested on same machine.

The comments and posts on #twitter are still anonymous(to an extent), free to post, easy to post, and ultimately terrible. My current opinion obviously, and only after a few minutes of reading but the amount of hate coupled with a large dose of ignorance is astounding.

I rarely use social networks. Jumping onto #peepeth I have linked my rarely used #twitter account, and started reading some tweets and replies.
Now I have a much better understanding of what #peepeth can do.

A moment of appreciation for all of the hard work that is #Peepeth.
@bevan #appreciateyou

If you get a chance you should try a @joerogan podcast. Search his catalog for someone you might want to hear him interview. His interviews are mostly 1.5/2 hours in length. I really applaud his stance on using the long form, and open conversation.

Really nice work! But I too am getting the loading wheel and not much else.

"eventually, another front-end can be created" ... I have a few name ideas for this.
Peeps in the RAW
Nothing but the Peeps
Strictly Peeps
XXX Peeps
Peeps after midnight
Pure Peeps
Interplanetary Peep Archive Retrieval System(IPARS)

I wouldn't mind this every once in a while.
"Welcome to Costco. I love you."

So we consider that spam? I wouldn't call that spam.
Anyone else?

Why the #nsfw tag?

Boom boxes are back ... and custom! Well done.

Just having this conversation makes me want to watch it again. :)

But he thinks plants crave Brawndo. It's got electrolytes.

I honestly wish his thoughts/tweets were more... more... I don't know, presidential. It's all to 'LOOK AT ME'. All. The. Time.
And the facts are usually really loose, if not pure conjecture, and it comes off as immature.
I don't want that in a President.
It's to close to...

Huh, well then. Can a sitting president demand positive news coverage? Sounds like dictatorship to me... Then again Google is by far the most popular search engine with a corporation controlling it. Is it really a monopoly forcing perspective? ... More questions.

I am going with more negative coverage. The search algorithm would have to be hard coded for a Trump search to find positive news in a majority.
#politics

I have been hearing this more and more.
'Appreciate you'
Used in a fast context instead of 'Thank you so much'. It adds more than a simple thanks for a task but puts emphasis on the individual as another person.
"Let me move my car for you, so you can park"
"Appreciate you"

Okra is one of those really odd ones that you love or hate, and it must be cooked correctly. Good on ya for growing that special treat. Been about 20 years since I have had some.

It looks good based on the promo. Funny thing was I recognized the magician, but not from magic. He hosted Cupcake\Holloween Wars, on Food Network, for years and was good at it. Wondered where he went. Looks like his talent was deeper and he landed a show. Good for him!

@DemCrypTho Thank you for the Ensō! I hope others get a chance to listen to the linked podcast.
Love right back at you my friend.

100% natural plant. Better for us than alcohol, both physically, mentally and socially, while providing many benefits. But illegal.
Mind boggles every time I think about it.

Mind some constructive criticism? I like the look and I think the info is in there but... I did't realize I had to scroll down. Then I had to scroll more. Again I like it but I didn't know how to navigate instinctively to get to the info you want me to see. My 2eth :)

That the one where you save Phil Collins? Love that. The music... dang good stuff.

Tyson, I agree regarding feature creep but I would ask about dark mode usage using surveys or even a fake feature that reported back a request. Most regular folk, don't mean to lump them in(my wife), could care less, but there are power users out there that love DM on apps.
