I think it was "Butter Bob" (another Bob) who coined the phrase "Butter will make your pants fall off" lol

Interesting. I've made salami/pepperoni chips in the microwave before, so I guess bacon would work too, lol

I have been using Suno AI for making songs. I find that the Suno AI that helps write lyrics to be less than stellar, so I do not use that option. However, the actual music made by Suno sounds quite good.
I have used ChatGPT to help me write lyrics. To have it work correctly, I have to supply a very detailed prompt and then revise the lyrics it generates. In the end, I get a song I like that I consider I wrote since the idea and much of the lyrics are mine.
BTW - I have taken the exact same prompt and fed it to Suno, Gemini and GPT. I find that GPT gives me the best results for what I am looking for when it comes to 'starting' lyrics, so that is the AI I use.

I've been in a few bands in my youth and both back then and throughout my adulthood I have written songs and have tried to record them myself, playing all the instruments, etc. I was just thinking I could probably use some of these Music AI services to finally finish them, lol.

Microwaved bacon because I was lazy.

I'll have to watch it.
Strange usually YouTube videos embed properly.
Ok yeah you have to press enter after you've inserted the link and the embed will show properly.

@Bob I found that to be the case for me as well. When I was trying to hit the protein target I let the fat content drop some. The combination of eating more and the fat caused me to gain weight. After I stopped hitting the target my protein to fat ratio was still off and even eating less the weight stayed the same or picked up a pound here and there.
Whoulda' thunk butter is a weight loss food? LOL

I thought I would test this for a while. It's graphically pleasing, seeing a cover image for each forum along with the latest activity in those forums.
The other thought I have entertained is simply displaying ALL topics on a single page as the default, regardless of it's specific forum or category.

A simple beef patty.
Sometimes you just fancy a patty.
Could've waited until it got seared a bit more though but I'm a lazy fella.

My attempt at a medium rare rump steak.
Cooked in plenty of butter of course.

Looks pretty good on mobile too.

Last night I had fresh catfish dusted with pork panko and cajun seasoning and fried in bacon grease.

I consider myself 97% carnivore since May 12, 2023. which as of this writing is also 1199 days.
@Geezy started 3 days prior to me.
I was super strict my first year. Now, on what I consider RARE occasions, I might consume a single-ingredient whole food that isn't meat. But by and large I am living a carnivore lifestyle.

Like anything else it’s a tool. It can be used for good or evil.

Eggs mixed with beef mince is amazing.

Can't go wrong with eggs and patties.

I hate I missed it. I ran like a chicken with its head cut off last night to free up some time to drop in on my phone from work. But, to no avail as it was one thing after another most of the night.
I will try to watch it sometime today. It would have been better to listen, interact and ask questions.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Very high ketone levels don’t necessarily mean that you are an effective ketone producing machine. As ketones become very elevated ketone clearance could actually decrease.
Therefore ketone concentrations are not always synonymous with fat burning.
A Ketone meter measures the ketones waiting in the blood steam, it doesn’t count the ketones that have already gone to work.
The number on your meter doesn't simply tell you how many ketones your liver produced
It tells you how much BHB happens to be in your bloodstream at that moment.
If production > utilization→ BHB rises If utilization > production → BHB (*Beta-hydroxybutyrate) falls
If production = utilization → BHB stays stable.
Chasing ketones is not the whole story and neither should it be. If your goal is weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, better glucose control, lower triglycerides and reduced hunger or improved metabolic health then consider instead, what is happening to your waist, your body composition, your glucose, your fasting insulin, your triglycerides and HDL, your blood pressure, your hunger and your energy. How do you feel? If all of these things are moving in the right direction but your ketones dropped a little which metric seems more important?
We can become so fascinated by ketosis that we forget to ask why we are trying to create ketosis in the first place.
Therapeutic ketosis is different from simply trying to improve your health. What is your goal In all of this?
Your ketone meter is a tool.
It is not a metabolic report card.
It measures concentration.
Not ketone production.
Not total ketone utilization.
Not total fat oxidation.
Not insulin sensitivity.
Not body-fat loss.

FYI, this topic may have inspired tonights live stream discussion....

I am testing out a more content-focused index page that uses images for a forum cover image and shows the latest 5 discussions in that forum. I created the images with laptop view in mind. They need some refining in mobile view but they still work. On PC view, the latest 5 topics are presented in a list. On mobile view, you will see a topic below the forum title and description, and you can swipe right to view the next topic in order (up to the 5 that's listed). As always, click the forum title or cover image to enter a particular forum to see the entire topic list.
The former "Latest Posts" widget that was at the top of the index page has been moved to the right sidebar on labtop (scroll way down on mobile).

Dinner tonight was chicken tacos. Sam's Club was selling this chipotle marinated chicken. The ingredients weren't super clean but at the same time not that bad. Eaten with sour cream and shredded cheese on a toasted Egg Life Wrap.

It’s alway good to educate the ignorant. It’s up to them to learn.

Have you seen those videos of how cats react to cucumbers?
