@insufferable said in Drone Activity: December 2024:

I don't know if there may have been a real drone or two at first, but every video I've seen appears to be just a normal airplane now, or a helicopter with a searchlight (deployed in the search for the drones). I spent hours a few days ago watching videos. I assume I've seen the most compelling ones.

At night, a six foot wingspan replica of an airplane two hundred feet away slowly moving over your neighborhood is pretty much indistinguishable from a full size airplane 10 miles away - there's no way for the eye to tell which is which.

People are saying they "saw nothing on the flight radar app" because they don't realize how far away you can see a plane. If they zoomed the radar out, they would see it there.

The authorities can't find the drones (using real radar I assume) because they aren't there. From the ground, the mysterious light in the sky looks like it's right in front of the state police helicopter "chasing it," but in reality the light is miles off to the side, not in front of the helicopter.

You can apparently see the lights of a plane up to 70 miles away, at least. The sky of northern new jersey is full of planes due to the airports. You would certainly see hundreds of lights in the sky, but they're not over your neighborhood, they're miles away.

A plane 50 miles away, flying in your direction with its landing lights on will appear to be a motionless, hovering bright light for several minutes.

Here's some good discussion and debunking of each video:

I've seen zero evidence of anything out of the ordinary in the sky.

"I spent several hours in the evening on this past Saturday and Sunday in Warren County and Morris County and there is a huge number of normal aircraft visible all over the sky, in every direction. I did not see a single moving light in the sky that could not be correlated to the flight tracker." From https://www.metabunk.org/threads/drones-over-new-jersey.13770/page-4#post-329692

What I ended up doing: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/470/testosterone-worldwide/12?_=1732586762298

For the 2021-2023 NHANES data, in order to remove TRT users, I screened out those with testosterone over 600 who also had LH below reference range. Apparently TRT lowers LH and FSH to near zero. I also removed some data that was probably in error.

So average testosterone in 2021-2023 was 451 ng/dl - no major difference from 2015-2016's average of 459 ng/dl.

2021-2023:
20-24: 536
25-29: 464
30-34: 476
35-39: 440

2015-2016:
20-24: 535
25-29: 556
30-34: 461
35-39: 466

2011-2012
20-24: 468
25-29: 438
30-34: 435
35-39: 392

2003-2004
20-24: 673
25-29: 537
30-34: 541
35-39: 589

I'm working on finding the average testosterone for the USA from CDC data to put on my website, as discussed here: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/470/testosterone-worldwide

The CDC has recently published the 2021-2023 testosterone data. But I'm sure there's a lot of TRT users in there now, which will skew the average testosterone. Unfortunately the CDC hasn't included info on TRT use in this dataset so I will have to figure out which datapoints are on TRT myself. Does anyone know how to screen the data to remove TRT users? Don;t they have abnormal LH levels or something like that? I have access to a lot of hormone measurements, all of these: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/Nchs/Nhanes/2021-2022/TST_L.htm

Thanks!

Good info, thanks! I believe dehydroascorbic acid is more potent than ascorbic acid too?

I also feel best when I eat a lot of fat. Definitely trust your instincts on it.

@BroJonas I don't know much about the guy himself. I just noticed this phenomenon that happens when you pause him in mid-motion. Try it with the Ann Vo videos if you don't like Goatis, it happens with her too.

When you pause a video of a person, you'll usually catch them at a bad moment, looking weird.

I used to think this was just normal, but I've discovered that when you pause Goatis, his face almost always looks calm and normal. Goatis gives off a calm grounded vibe, while the vegans or bodybuilders that he's critiquing generally give a manic vibe in comparison. Just try pausing his videos, the person being critiqued will look strange and Goatis will usually look normal, at any given frame you happen to pause.

I notice this primal diet girl, Ann Vo, has the same grounded calm and inability to be paused at a bad moment that Goatis has. youtube.com/watch?v=PFIxzFzFu34

I think many people today are constantly flickering through manic micro-expressions and this makes the person come off as unstable, which is very unfortunate for socializing.

You could judge a lifestyle, diet, or mentality by whether it produces grounded calm, and this could be measured by pausing a video of the person to try to catch a bad moment!

@RealNeat Great info, thank you!

@BioEclectic Thanks for the tip about re-mineralizing.
