Around 6 months ago, the recording of my Shmoocon Firetalk ”Hacking Your Metabolism” was posted to YouTube. Since then, the line that has generated the most feedback was this: “BMI is Bullshit.”

In this thread, I am going to prove that BMI is bullshit. And I will also show you another way to measure health and progress. (part 1/26)Image But before we get started, two things you already know:

1. Obesity is a disease.
2. Huge percentages of Americans are overweight and/or obese, and this number is increasing (part 2 of 26) Image

One of the reasons that ex-President Trump hates Ukraine so much is because on July 6, 2017, Vladimir Putin met with him for 3 hours and convinced him that Ukraine hacked the DNC to frame Russia and tarnish his victory. (1/4) marketwatch.com/story/trump-sa… After this meeting, Trump began espousing the insane idea that Crowdstrike was Ukrainian and had a "server" they were hiding from him.

On a weekday in January, despite having multiple levels of “lock” on my cellular account, someone hijacked my SIM and phone number at 9:43 AM. I use my phone for MFA on 33 accounts. This is what happened next. THREAD: At 9:43 AM I received an email saying a new device was registered to my number. I knew the attackers did not have access to my email or bank accounts. I was certain they could not access my MFA because I do not use SMS for MFA.
