LOL yeah that Pringles thing, I found out later, because I felt like I had sores in my mouth, which I never get. Apart from when I quit smoking and chewed artificial sweetener nicotine gum for a while, it used to give me sores in my mouth when I chewed too much, but the Pringles did the same thing. I don't know why, but I traced it back to the Pringles sandwiches, so I guess I won't be having them again. Not that they were worth it, given the small amount you get. About your diet, boiled veg and meat, that is the diet I hear has the best longevity for people as you get everything you need. That sour cream is great. I'm guessing you make your own, which is not hard. But sour cream on anything is a win LOL. I know you said before you had cut out sugar as well, or you said a while back, this I am in the process of doing myself. I started drinking tea, and I like some sugar in it. The problem is, I find that I want more when I have it, because my primal brain thinks I found a beehive or something.
About your coconut / baking soda, and reducing personal care products - it is my belief that when you wash your body with soap you erase the bacteria that protects it. Or good bacteria. I think that is why people get so many infections, to be honest -- I too, use a configuration of what you use, minus coconut - but baking soda tootpaste paste etc.,. Take away the good bateria (protective microbiome) - you probably of course are on the same page I would guess and know all this - but I always seen people that live in a soap environment / bleach always cleaning, and they are always sick and ill - I have not had a cold since like 2007 or thereabouts - also I know people my age / older have like brown teeth and they brush all the time, I think they are brushing off the enamel on their teeth with the toopaste they use - i use baking soda, light brush, and I don't have any problems my teeth are still great and I have no problems, they are healthy etc., . These are just my opinions of course, but you sound like you have a good non-invasive routine there. Baking soda does wonders and is great as a cleaning agent without being harsh with almost everything, as i know you know.
About de-googling. I would do that if I did not have a YouTube account to upload to. I hate that company. I can't say I spent any time on a phone though, so there is that. I would have used GrapheneOS for my old phone (before I got the new retro one), but the problem has always been I run massively outdated equipment held together with string, so it's not supported. It's been this way with everything in my life.
Thanks!
I am quite in tune with the song you're singing. I learned thought that the tools I use professionally need to be professional quality, so I don't cheap out on my tools. This box is 6 years old now, but I bought the parts new in 2020 and, while they weren't all top of the line, they were highly regarded. I did splurge on the PSU, because I expected to upgrade and PSU's can be moved into the new box. I didn't expect AI to gobble up all the RAM and GPUs, so haven't upgraded in a timely way because those parts just got outrageously expensive.
