Nature is Amazing
@AMAZlNGNATURE

The 2024 New Zealand Tree of the Year is the remarkable Metrosideros robusta, nicknamed The Walking Tree, located near a cemetery on South Island.

As I keep trying to tell everybody: Nature is gross and weird. (Does anyone know what this is?)

Based golden says sharing is for suckers.

Evil river otter.

Winding up for a massive headbutt.

Fish migration transporter tube.

Murdering Joe, I mean Morning Joe, says this 392 year old Greenland shark is "the best version of Joe Biden I've ever seen." Then he was seen taking a box of lime to a locker.

Saving a dog from a deep pit with an excavator.

Cute burrowing owls.

Watch to the end, you won't guess the ending.

A friendly deer changes a hunter's mind.

Baby goats hopping around.

Flying shark. Okay it's not flying, but it looks like it is.


This wildlife photographer has gotten too involved with her subjects.

"Scrubbing the tortoise," as they say in England.

Getting stuck behind the street sweeper.

A dangerous drop-bear prepares to attack.

Hmm? Hm? Hm! Hmmm...?

Puppy prank.

Baby elephant rushes over when he here's his caregiver say his name during an interview.

Do you read Charles Forte?

He was a journalist in the early 20th, who just got tired of the weird stories being ignored. And started documenting the weird part of life.

It reminds me of a story I read in one of Hitchcock's collections. Can't remember the title, but a sea blob kept engulfing animals (and people) like that. They got it with a flamethrower.

One that I can remain is: Everything is like something else.

22 With my extensive experience playing JRPGs, I can tell you for certain that the gross and weird bit of nature is a slime.

Eating a crab.

Which they don't normally show in the video games.

But it would explain the odd monster groupings in the random encounters.

32 Pandas are not known for their intelligence or agility and are often found dead, hanging from a tree branch.

Pandas are prepared parboiled and are properly presented with pickled puffins and penguin pate.

33 The only objection that I would have to the fish-tube is that it requires the active involvement of a human to function.

The advantage of the fish ladders is that they work as long as there's water in them, whether humans are there or not.

67 There was a 1930s and 1940s Sports announcer turned sort of Ripley believe it or not. Way before my time, but he would talk about a famous person for about 5 minutes or so with all this really interesting trivia, and then spring the name of the celebrity at the end. It was really good, I hear it on old time radio programs.

If you want to listen to old school students/pupils, listen to "Quiz Kids" a popular test questions for children with celebrities in the 1940s and 1950s. Before Jeopardy! there was "Information Please" a radio show in the 1940s with a regular panel and celebrity guests. Tough questions.

They don't sleep much, are paranoid, can see in the dark just fine, and will really mess you up when they attack. Make a lot of racket. I bet a lot of farmyard critters are pretty good sentry animals.

100 You don't have to eliminate carbs. You don't even have to exercise. In fact, obese people will probably tear something up.

You have to reduce calories, below your maintenance requirements, to lose fat. Anyone can lose a hundred pounds eating nothing but candy bars if they want. You won't want.

Figure 700 to 1000 calories a day. Once a day is more satisfying. After a few weeks of this, your liver may clean out enough to function, a little. Non-alcoholic fatty liver is pretty much epidemic with fatties. You don't want this. Burn it off.

I don't need to lose a bunch, but peeling off a few spare pounds would be a good idea.

117 I lost 70 pounds and keep it that way 5 years running by reducing calories. Definitely don't drink any of your calories.

Other than that, eat what you want. You have to reduce calories way, way WAY less than you might think. Nobody wants to do this, but once you get a gram scale and adding up calories you'll see it's true. You will naturally gravitate towards foods that are already high in satiety, or sticking power.

Eggs, meat, cheese, mixed nuts. And naturally, if you stick with a reduced calorie daily regimen you'll naturally stay away from refined carbs, because they nuke your daily calorie count without really satisfying. I will eat chocolate or ice cream, pizza, anything. But it goes on the daily count, and there is no nutrition there. No protein, which we need to maintain higher levels of, especially as we get older.

Active males easily need close to 80 or 90 grams protein daily, good high quality animal protein.

121 To lose a healthy 2 lbs a week, you need to cut 500 to 700 calories a day. This is daunting. It becomes less daunting if you exercise and burn even 250 calories over what you need to live. This means you can cut 250 calories, which is far easier to manage.

Weight loss is always calories in / calories out. You need to be in a caloric deficit to lose. However, what you choose to fuel your body with does make a difference in terms of energy, healthy skin, healthy bones, building or rebuilding muscle, etc.

Journaling food - every darn thing that passes your lips - gives you a good insight into where you can start with minor changes. You won’t have to do this forever, but it is a great place to start. No judgement, just log in an app or on a piece of paper.

123 My point is all the dieting advice I see on boards is everybody making excuses why they can't lose the 100 pounds they are lugging around.

They've had it drilled into their head they have to exercise, or it isn't possible to lose fat. Then they want to argue about it, that somehow they are different, special, or somehow immune to the laws of nature and that reducing calories will cause the metabolism to "slow down" and they won't lose any weight. This is true for a couple weeks, but make no mistake calorie reduction will cause weight loss. In fact, it's the only thing that will effect weight loss.

This one feller, the last post he made, was suggesting exercising in bed (because he's too fat to move around much at all) "Gotta start somewhere".

Exercise is great, I recommend it, it is synergistic and the rest of it. But it has very little to do with weight loss. It is a red herring, and I get tired of the experts giving out silly advice that nobody will ever follow.

"Go run 2 miles! You can do it. When you get back, have an Almond, and a Brussel Sprout Smoothie! Later, we'll have some hackberry toast, and water. In 6 months following our program, you can lose up to 5 pounds!"

134 "To lose a healthy 2 lbs a week, you need to cut 500 to 700 calories a day"

Tell me you've never had to lose weight, without telling me you've never had to lose weight.

Some people eat more than 4000 calories a day. The people you see that are really huge, cutting back 500 or 700 calories is skipping a snack.

600 to 900 calories a day (TOTAL, not "cut") is a bit faster than the more moderate 800 to 1000 daily kilocalorie. This takes a while to get a head of steam going, but you will feel it. Once a day is a lot easier for me, but YMMV.

1.5 pounds a week (over time) is really really good. This is an average over many weeks. At first, weight loss will appear rapid, say 3 pounds a week or better, and then slow, or even stop. Thus over time, as the body adjusts to new needs, the average will trend down . 1 to 2 pounds a week or 10 days is typical probably.

Remember body fat is 4000 calories per pound.

137 I would suggest that if you are eating many small meals then your blood glucose is always high, and your body will burn the blood glucose instead of breaking down stored fat. this is double if you eat a lot of simple carbs and starches since that breaks down to glucose easily, and triple so if you are drinking sugary drinks because you not only get lots of simple carbs, you also don't feel sated.

An interesting aside, Lipitor/Atorvestatin seems to keep my fasting blood glucose elevated but I don't know if it is blocking conversion of blood glucose or getting my liver to excrete glycogen.

175 No fat burning occurs unless and until the glucose is exhausted and metabolized - so avoiding carbs altogether makes sense, but it is the calorie reduction that gets you to that point in the first place. This is the big flaw in all the professional weight-loss advice I see.

It doesn't cost any money to get healthy! No programs, no routines, no special meals mailed to you, nothing. I happen to love Pizza, and eat it often. If I could afford steak I'd eat that a lot more often.

Get a gram scale and start weighing out your food items. You'll memorize most of it. It sure adds up quick. A sedentary person might only need 1000 to 1200 calories a day, they will start to creep up in weight! You can't outrun your fork, so don't even try. So if you run 3 miles, you can eat 1350. BFD. I'll skip the extra pat of butter, and stay home. What you do have to try, is sane sensible daily meals for the rest of your life. Permanent changes to lifestyle.

179 Wookiepedia is already on it. The "Canon" reference says Ki Adi Mundi was already a Jedi Master in 132 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). The Acolyte takes place around 100 BBY.

The "Legends" reference says he was born in 93 BBY.

I always go with the Legends as the "true canon" because Disney canon is garbage.

181 Reading about the tree pictured above. Very interesting.

"Metrosideros robusta, the northern rātā, is a forest tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 25 metres (82 ft) or taller, and usually begins its life as a hemiepiphyte high in the branches of a mature forest tree; over centuries the young tree sends descending and girdling roots down and around the trunk of its host, eventually forming a massive, frequently hollow pseudotrunk composed of fused roots. In disturbed ground, or where there are gaps in the forest cover, northern rātā will grow on the ground with a normal but short trunk."

Anyway, disney's and harvey weinstein's personal assistant garbage fake star wars "show" called "the acolyte" gets worse and worse. Last night, the 4th episode featured the jedi master Ki-Adi-Mundi, who was in the prequel movie The Phantom Menace. But there's one small problem...

Ki Adi Mundi would not have been born yet in Lesbian Headlamp's show's timeline! No problem, barely an inconvenience: We'll just quickly go to wikipedia and change Ki Adi Mundi's date of birth before anyone notices!

Example. One bowl of cereal isn't one cup. A standard American bowl is like 3 cups or more.

That's 600 calories for breakfast.

If you want to lose weight, you've got 1100 calories left and you just started your day.

I'm currently reading Michael Crichton's Next. One of the characters is clearly an expy of Dr. Anthony Fauci. With the added bonus of portraying himself as a holier-than-thou evangelical Christian. He uses "religion" to promote ideologies that many Christians find abhorrent, such as the continued use of embryonic stem cells in genetic research. He lets nothing stand in the way of his lab, his research, or his reputation.

This is why you track everything you eat for a week. Everything. No judgements on it at all. But you discover when you are eating because you are hungry, stressed, bored, and how those pinches, just a tastes and bites add up. And then you learn to eyeball. A serving of cheese is your thumb. A serving of meat is the palm of your hand. A cup is about the size of your fist.

192 The core problem with suggesting that exercise is exclusively intertwined with fat loss is that

Fat people don't exercise. I mean obese, morbidly obese people. And they weigh so much, tendon or cartilage damage is likely if they try. They get winded trying to wipe their ass. So it ain't happening.

What they can do, is put down the goddamned fork. There is no magic involved here. Reduce calories to a level below that what is required for basal metabolism, plus the activity level. Everyone is different to some degree, but somewhere under 2000 kilocalories is plenty. To burn off fat requires very few daily calories at all. This is the problem. Fasting works great here too, because with practice perceived hunger is not a problem at all. In fact it is enjoyable.

Mindful eating - carbs will make you feel sluggish, or cloud your thinking. You will naturally start to avoid foods that cause problems, if you stick with your base calorie level. I still like to eat Ice cream - just not the crappy fake shit that passes for it. If I'm gonna sin - I'm gonna do it right, so to speak. You will start to pay attention very closely to what you put in your body.

211 My physicians desk reference from 1952 suggests 600 to 800 calories a day for "rapid" weight loss, 800 to 1000 for a more moderate pace. That's the daily calorie count. If someone was active, very active or at work hard it is doable but it takes practice. I would fast at work, skipping breakfast and lunch and often a late dinner.

The latter under 900 calories a day extended periods I suppose, it came out to around 1.5 lbs a week, after 8 months anyway. I think modern dietary advice is written by people who don't know what they are talking about, because they just keep repeating things they have read, but they've never actually penciled it out.

It is SIMPLE to lose fat, but that doesn't make it EASY. You are worth it, and you won't have to take all those medicines to treat symptoms that are killing you in the first place. Stay with it, it will work for you.

If you eat that little you're going to crash your metabolism. You lose for a while, but your body adjusts by lowering your metabolism to match your calorie intake.

Oddly enough, if you eat under 500 cals per day, that's classified as "fasting" which has a whole different effect on the body, and can actually revive metabolism.

Mindful eating - carbs will make you feel sluggish, or cloud your thinking. You will naturally start to avoid foods that cause problems

Carbs are fuel and your body needs them. It doesn’t need carbs in the form of a donut. But it does need whole grains, fruits, and veggies.
Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast was an RX bar because I was running late for my 6a and a latte with cashew milk.

Snack was an apple and almond butter (1 med apple, 1 tablespoon almond butter)

Lunch was whole grain crust pizza with a little olive oil, garlic, tons of spinach, and some fresh mozzarella. I had 2 slices.

Snack was baby carrots. I ate the whole bag, lol. And I had a juice of spirulina, chlorophyll, lemon and water.

Dinner tonight was 3oz bison burger on 1/2 of a whole grain / amaranth bun, lettuce and onion, a boatload of roasted broccoli that had 1tablespoon of olive oil on it (divide that by 3), plus salt, pepper and lemon juice.

I will probably have a “mousse” for desert - 1/2 serving of kachava whipped into plain, whole milk Greek yogurt.

229 The one thing that struc me about being out in the sticks, even out west - you might think you're remote, but if there is a road of some type, if you drove in, someone else can too.

I was parked in a trailer at 8000 feet in a snowstorm and woken up by a stranded 4 wheeler in the middle of the night. I thought it was a tweaker or somebody at first. Had the drop on me, if he wanted. I'd a been fooked. You can be in the middle of nowhere, and some asshoe will drop by. He was in sad shape, and probably in for a good case of hypothermia had it been too much longer.

The Missing 411 tales that were spooky were the ones where somebody just popped around the other side of a boulder to take a leak or whatever, and then they were never seen again. I would not want to tell some of 411 those tales around the campfire. Yeesh.

250 Carbs aren't all bad. Not even in the slightest, probably.

That is, for people on the move. It's like rocket fuel. Sedentary people, it is poison.

I've noticed that a feeling of bloating or discomfort when carb restriction gets intense. It's weird to "feel fat" when slim and trim. There is some kind of osmotic effect or something as well, while nobody wants to talk about constipation.... Glucose, at least some carbs, seems to help with the ole daily constitution. I just try to stick to reasonable levels.

A very good policy - one never knows what might be encountered in even a few acres of forest and brush. I'm a big proponent of trusting one's gut. If you have a something's wrong here vibe or a sense that maybe this is not the place to be, heed that and act accordingly.

I've been fascinated by the Missing 411 books as well, and I wonder if Paulides actually doesn't know what is behind all of these disappearances. One episode in particular stands out - a photographer named Jim Carter went missing while skiing Mount St. Helens in 1950. His ski tracks led to the edge of a canyon, but they indicated he was going recklessly fast, as if he was being chased. 1/

259 "Sitting on your ass is going to kill you faster than a tasty cheeseburger. Go for a walk, ride a bike. Being active is much better for you than sitting on your ass and counting calories"

Yes, that's great in theory, but the real world doesn't wor that way. Fatties don't get active, and they don't count calories. You're telling them to do something they won't ever do, and thus giving them a ready made excuse for failure.

I see this all the time. "I now I need to exercise, but my bad knee/ankle/back/neck/hip etc etc."

Trust me, they can't move now. In order for them to get healthy enough to move under their own power, they gotta lose a lot of weight. It's an insidious problem, and the calories expended are not enough to move the needle in most cases. They simply are not going to exercise unless forced.

Basic Training works great, but that's a different thing.

I lost 20% of my body weight intentionally and it was almost all of what I wanted to lose. I couldn't really get the last 4 or 5 pounds I wanted but then I got coof and lost 6. The coof weight eventually came back and then a little bit more on top of that but I've been a bit lax with my diet for the last 12 to 15 months.

Sure it does. You don't have to run a marathon. Start small and keep going. The worst advice you can give someone is that they are just too far gone to move and all they can do is starve themselves when that isn't even the biggest problem. Telling people it's ok to give in to a bit of discomfort is telling them it's ok to nothing other than a diet they absolutely will never do is much worse. Nobody here is going on a concentration camp diet of the rest of their lives but they can be more active. Start small and get bigger. Chasing that figure you had when you were 20 is just going to lead to failure. It ain't happening.

Anyone can make excuses why they can't exercise but ultimately it is a choice. A sedentary lifestyle is horrible for your health.

Some had frozen to death after running away from their tents at night out into the wild, others suffered grievous physical injuries which killed them, but not of a kind they could identify with any known animal.

288 Some of the 411 tales are just spooky.

Not really "Bigfoot" but some pretty wacky stuff have been reported by some folks.

Both members of the expedition and Lewis and Clark expedition reported hearing what sounded like cannon in the Great Falls region in 1805. Lewis said it sounded "precisely" like a small howitzer or whatever going off, a four pounder or whatever, at about 3 miles distance or something like that. He was an artilleryman, so he knew what he was talking about.

This went on for quite a while, and he said if he would have had the time he wanted to investigate whatever it was that was making those booms in the mountains. When he asked the locals about it, they reported the same.

That was unkind. So I will answer.
I weighed 189 pounds when I started my fitness journey. I am 5’1. I wore a size 14/16. That isn’t just being fluffy. I wear a 4 now.

Am I perfect? Not even close. I could probably lose another 5/10 pounds because I am 53 and all that goes with that age, and I had babies. But I am fit, I have definition in my abs where I once had rolls. And I could beat Biden in a push-up contest. 😂 So. It can be done. But you have to start.
