but I don't know the more advanced - like with automotive engine repair

I am more a software guy

Basics is all you need mostly

which sucks because in a true collapse... all my knowledge is useless

General's can give the sign off too but I've always had a hard time convincing them that its even worthwhile

What measuring your T level?

Yes

Dont they measure it with normal blood tests?

well I don't think that's true... I solve problems all day - very abstract problems - so really that is pretty solid for a societal collapse 😄 my domain just won't be software

Unsure

I think cooking releases more nutrients in most foods

:p

Or enables better digestion

Chinese medicine recommends slightly cooking things to release the most... idk how true that is though

Society won't collapse in our lifetimes

Nothing at all will happen

@eclipseNF 👌 Oh? I always read the later... you destroy more nutrients they longer you cook BUT yes digestion is easier

My 2 cents :p

Yeah heat does destroy nutrients as well

I dont think the collapse will happen at all

I think it's a mix/trade off depending on the food

@eclipseNF 👌 I agree but the cynic in me, the same one telling me to get a vasectomy, disagrees and is skuurrrreeddd... it wants a hug.

I think we were in a decline and that were going uphill

Towards stability

I'll give a bro hug. No homo.

@Rhunespire Yeah. However, being trained in muay thai/bjj, pistol/rifle, hunting/fishing and basic survival... is fun regardless 😄

Whatever government is in power will stay that way forever

True

There will be no uprising

@Rhunespire What if I look you in the eyes during the hug?

I may head butt you

And break your nose

@eclipseNF 👌 I am debating joining the US military for that reason - they'd train me on all the skills I want and ENFORCE those habits for 4 years.

It's all cyclical, if we have gone into a trough in the last 80 years, then an improvement must be close

@Rotund Goys is correct

US is definitely going to stay in "power" for the next 10 years... China may change that in 10 tho

Trump keeps them in check

China may want to change it but they wont ir cant

lol

Trump keeps a lot of people in check

@Rotund Goys Yeah... 1945 - we have until 2025 😄
