Two mistakes, one you didn't do enough research and two you mentioned athletes with warriors.

Spare us your "education".

Back in the days the Romans ruled, lead content in food stuffs was very high. They liked the added flavor, and that was all that was important. The hand made pottery drinking cups, dishes and cooking pans all had high lead content.

I met a few US Army fellas a few years back(including one former Ranger REGT/SF 18D) who are MDs/PAs now(both in private practice and still part time in Gang Green).

They had some really neat stuff to say about proactive/assertive self-care and health-care(they focused on helping people to live healthier rather than reacting to illness often stemming from poor lifestyle choices).

They also were moving into the Stem Cell space. That sounded really cool, but quickly went over my head.

In short, there seems to be a lot of cool stuff going on out there, but I've noticed two things:

1)Finding the wheat from the chaff can be a challenge, thankfully there's some pre-vetting that helps narrow down the research

2)Like SF stuff, healthcare and selfcare seems to be all about the fundamentals. And the fundamentals don't seem to change radically, just refine a bit over time.

Not to sound morbid or Frankenstein-y, but I'm hoping DARPA or some other big brain outfit has DNA samples of folks like Col Bank and other positive outlier human beings to see what we can learn from it.

Those US fellas I met were not only a great bunch of fellas to have a few beers with, but left me thinking the potential for human performance has only been scratched.

Hopefully it helps stem(cell) the tide of idiocracy someday.

All I know is I hope the weird green smoothies my better half has me drinking daily actually work and aren't a joke at my daily expense......a microbrew breakfast beer would certainly taste better.

Leafy green stuff works.

How did it taste on a salad though? It is a good de-wormer.

Just another benefit.
It's also a good buzz and it repels womenfolk. Repulses womenfolk, I should say...

Just had an American gang green fella visit and went our for a few gentlemanly beverages.

He turned me onto something called Monkey Shoulder.

Nice drop that.

If it kills me quicker, so be it. I reckon it's worth it.

What happened to BigRod???

On another note, Old Granddad is good stuff at a good price - I've lately been on a Maker's Mark 46 and 1792 kick for my bourbons, and there's a distillery 15 minutes from my new AO that puts out some pretty good stuff.

You need to see if you can get Neversweat, from Missoula MT.... you will enjoy it, and OOLA from the Palouse area of WA...

Bushmills, I just can't help myself when it comes to this Irish Whiskey. It is said, that God himself invented Bushmills to keep the Irish from running the world.

Ever try the Bushmills 400th anniversary stuff?

I saw it in the airport a couple times and was a dumbass walking past it.

Quite cheap then, harder to come by now.

Should we ask the admins to merge this with the whiskey thread?
