First thing that came to my mind: why would cows be different from any wild ruminants? If it has something to do with how domesticated ruminants are fed, why just cows and not sheep or goats? And if it is how they are fed, wouldn't then the solution be changing their diet, like not feeding cows grains and what else they are fed before slaughter, because surely it can't be their natural diet of grass? Because if it was wouldn't all the wild ruminants like bison, gazelles, deer, giraffes etc be an equally big a problem, especially since their numbers used to be bigger but have now been replaced by domesticated ruminants, while the whole number of ruminants on the planet doesn't seem to have changed all that much?
So: why just cows?
Or the grave of his country, I presume he has a get-away plan so he can move into some of those nice luxury apartments or villas or whatever he has been buying abroad in order to have a nice relaxing retirement after it's all over.
Heh.
Rudolph, BTW, if a real reindeer, would be either a girl with a guy's name, or has been castrated. Male reindeer drop their antlers way before Christmas, only the castrated males and females still have them midwinter and past that.
Something that some Christmas movies with Santa have noticed during last years, at least on some clips of that Netflix "Red One" movie I have seen Santa calls his (very fantasy versions, about three times the size of real ones and with weird antlers...) reindeer "girls". Hopefully we are not going to get story of Rudolph who is actually trans before the tide turns enough that all movie makers get well away from woke, something I have been a bit worried about for some years. Much nicer if we just get told that Santa's reindeer are just magic and different from the real ones, they can after all fly and everything.
Hopefully. But as far as I understand people on those systems can play dirty enough to do something like try to destroy an enemy's career by making him look dirty when he isn't, so I presume especially the smaller players and rank-and-filers, ones whose doings or not doings will not necessarily be looked at all that carefully, might end up victims in the reshuffling Patel is going to do, especially if they have made enemies of others who are dirty, and might like to pull them down with them just out of spite. Or even if they haven't, and somebody who is going down just wants to destroy as many others as possible. The good guys may not have the resources to take a careful look at everything and everybody.
And if you take that literally it would condemn everybody who has been born in times and places where he either has had no chance to ever hear of Jesus, or Jesus has been just the name of somebody in the religion of some foreign people they never learn much about. Most people stay in the religion their family and the people around them have and taught them, does that automatically make them evil or not worthy of salvation?
And that is the main reason why I am not a member of any Christian church. I believe in God, and Jesus, but I will not believe God would be that cruel.
Does Biden actually decide about those pardons, or is he by now gone enough that he mostly just signs what somebody puts on front of him and tells him to sign? Perhaps they need Jill to do that "tell him to sign" part, so she is granting pardons to as many people as possible so that her "retirement" will be as cushy as possible even if she does go scorched earth on several of those high profile movers like Obama and Pelosi, so she will have people working towards that because she got their pardon signed by hubby.
Could have been both. Biden in bad enough shape during the election year that they had to hire a stand-in, then never fully recovered but has been in good enough shape to appear from time to time, then they (some of them, maybe Pelosi) don't trust the stand-in well enough to fully replace Biden so as Biden's mind got worse they decided to get the stand-in out - or alternatively the stand-in, or the main actor of a few of them, the one who has been the only one good enough to actually play Biden, decided he has had enough and maybe even already left - and maybe now it is just Biden himself.
Skeptical, yes. However - how could you gather any intel or understand the enemy unless you deal with them, and deal with them a lot, including what seems like friendly terms? Sometimes to the point of seemingly becoming one of them, so they'd trust you at least to an extent, or at least enough to get careless around you and maybe spill things they would not if they knew for a fact that you are NOT one of them?
We are not where we can know yet, and some parts we may never know, but right now I would not be surprised about any reveals, whether it was something like "Pence is one of the good guys after all" or some of the ones we now think are the good guys, or probably the good guys, turning out to not to be.
And since none here (or at least most here, as presumably sites like this may get at least lurkers who are a bit higher in the food chain), are not the ones deciding anything about what to do with something, maybe just keep on observing and speculating but try to keep an open mind?
Just hope that Trump and his team, and whoever maybe are behind them, know what they are doing. They are the ones who will need to act. We mostly just watch, at least when it gets to that level of actions.
Since it is going to cost to get them all out of your country too, I'd maybe do something like that, or at least those ones who have not committed any other crimes since entering, but make it expensive for them. Make them pay for that citizenship. Something like yes, you can get citizenship, but since you came illegally you will have to pay higher taxes for years, or maybe commit to doing something else, like maybe years of some sort of non-paid work in service of your country or your community or both, to compensate for the crime.
That might make a lot of them just leave voluntarily.
Interesting name. In Lord of the Rings the palantirs are crystal balls you can use to see what happens elsewhere, but after Sauron had gotten hold of some they had become more of a trap as the evil lord could get hold of the minds of people who used any of the palantirs after that. They also were always unreliable, as using them required extraordinary powerful mind and the ability to concentrate in order to direct their "seeing" to what would be useful instead of misdirecting the user to something that might give a false impression, or useless knowledge to him.
So, basically, the palantirs are something used by evil and useful only to evil.
A small sample, but there are lots you can find simply by googling for keto success stories when it is about the general effects of the diet.

There seem to be some studies but the main problem so far is that they are mostly short term.

And when it comes to cancer, not that many studies, and the results seem to be mixed, although also somewhat dependent on what TYPE of cancer the patient has, but the idea that a ketogenic diet might be helpful for cancer patients is about a hundred years old.
Which one? You can easily find both Berry's and Berg's channels on youtube by looking by their names, Elevate Brain Training doesn't seem to be a channel but some sort of app for phones.
Both Berry and Berg also have sites outside YT. Shawn Baker is another carnivore diet promoter I know besides Berry, an orthopedic surgeon.
I haven't looked that deeply on the differences between keto and carnivore when it's a question which would be better, or low carb in general, but I'd think that at least carnivore might be easier to stick to as the main rule is simply "all animal products, no plant ones" instead of lists of what plants you can and cannot eat.
I haven't been able to find all that many disaster stories about carnivore, although it seems that for some people with specific diseases it's not good, like people who have something called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). But mostly you can find only warnings about what it might cause instead of proofs it has caused those things for some individuals, while there seems to be a lot of success stories about carnivore eating, including people who have been on that diet for years, maybe decades, and more stories of people who have been on some version of low carb or keto for decades as those have been promoted longer, and who are still healthy.
Greer I think at least used to have fairly noticeable Trump derangement syndrome. I haven't read, or listened to, anything by him after 2019 though.
BTW, I just recently listened to (audible book) something called "UFOs and the Deep State", which claims that the Deep State has been trying to hide government studies of UFOs for decades, and that what the UFO enthusiasts have been claiming for years is probably true, they know a lot more than they are willing to admit and may have crashed flying saucers, and maybe even some of our current technologies partly derive from reverse engineering those.
And that besides hiding what government knows and has been doing, they have been actively trying to obfuscate and destroy what civilian individuals and groups have been trying to do, and are the main reason for turning the whole thing into a joke nobody should take seriously.
Because first of all, the phenomena itself is beyond their control, and they fear that if that became known it would diminish their power, and second, "the deep state knows that the introduction of the alien technology, or even the admission that such a technology exists, would break the stranglehold they have on our world."
Bold claims. I'm not sure what I think about them, but at least the fact that there seems to have been an active campaign to keep all talk of UFOs/UAPs out of serious discussions and mostly as a joke until very recently is fairly undeniable, whatever the reasons for that may be.
And personally, while I do think there is an unexplained phenomena deserving serious study I am not exactly convinced it's space aliens, although it still may be some sort of aliens. Different dimensions, something "else" maybe even hiding on our own planet, spiritual beings like demons or something else way more "supernatural" than a nuts and bolts kind of thing, who knows.
She's the younger one. I think it seems to be one of those "just biology" things, whether a man consciously still wants children or not the fact is that if they start dating a younger woman that remains a possibility, as men don't lose their ability to father children until very old, while with us women the peak fertility is just around 20, and starts to decline after 30, and by 40 it's already gone enough that you are more likely to need some medical system help if you still want to conceive. So it's presumably not so much the outer beauty of younger women, it's what that more youthful look is advertising that attracts men - whether they realize it or not, and that works on them even when they don't consciously want children - while for women a bit older, or sometimes even a lot older man is often enough just fine as long as he seems like a good provider, and somebody who'd be able to take care of her children if they have them.
What can't breed and produce the next generation will die out, and no matter how much that may be ignored in our current culture it's still one of the most fundamental biological urges after the survival of the individual him- or herself. Even if we mostly just notice that urge to breed, the preferences who we want to do that with are still pretty strongly connected to who might be able to produce those children with us. Women who look still potentially fertile are seen as more attractive, with men is mostly the ones who look like they could feed and/or protect those children and their mother if she has them, especially when they are young.
Rather interesting how all these UFO/UAP cases are happening right now, and not just that, but that they seem to be finally taken seriously even by official public authorities, when for decades they were always, if talked about at all by those, fast explained away in some way. Swamp gas, somebody mistaking Venus for a flying saucer even when the somebody who said they had seen something was a trained observer like a military pilot or an astronomy enthusiast, and so on.
Hauntings, at least. Whatever causes them, who knows. I don't think there is enough to decide what that might be yet, although there seems to be enough to say that something unusual is connected to at least some of what we call "hauntings". Human ghosts, demons, something completely different we don't understand at all yet, who knows. Either human ghosts or something demonic seem to be two of the most common assumptions.
Exactly.
But mostly I was just pointing how damn many holes about that idea came up without even trying to think about it. As said, lots of wild ruminants, way more in the past, less now but more cows, the end number of all ruminants in the world is probably still about the same, and they all have similar digestions and produce the same damn gasses from their digestive tracks.
Can't some people think at all anymore! How the hell could anybody have believed that "cows bad for climate" thing in the first place! By this time everybody must have heard that "millions of bison in North America before the evil white people came" story about a thousand times during their life, and those damn things have pretty much exactly the same type of stomachs as cows do... hello, idiots, as far as farting and/or belching methane is concerned cow = bison, bison = cow.
Yes I know, it's not the farting, it's getting rid of domesticated animals we can eat. All this just gets a bit frustrating sometimes. Half of the time, well, more, the wannabe rulers of the world aren't really even trying with their explanations as to why we should do something. And many people still swallow it all whole.
