Lifting heavy weights, walking with heavy weights and especially being under heavy weights makes your body produce osteocalcin which strengthens the bones. @LindyFit on Twitter wrote up a short free book about some such exercises 3.5 years ago, the link is deleted but you can probably comment and ask him for it.

@Dakota Nice idea. Forum API documentation is here in case anyone wants to have a shot at this: https://docs.nodebb.org/api/read/

@hammerandburner If you're fat, losing weight might help. Other than that, Buteyko breathing, mewing and getting rid of foods with inflammatory/allergenic ingredients will open up the airways.

@brad An obvious way to do this without delving into the forum software would be to just put e.g. "@nate on bioenergetic.forum" in your Twitter bio, and link to Twitter in your forum bio.

Other than that, it should be possible to edit the forum's source code in the following way:

1. Add a user settings field in which the user can input a tweet ID.
2. The referenced tweet should contain something like "I am @pilky on bioenergetics.forum" and nothing else
3. To display the checkmark/@, the forum software can follow the link to the tweet, verify the contents and put a checkmark next to the forum profile. How often to do this and where to display it is a design tradeoff... might not want to call the Twitter API all the time.

Nostr, for instance, does something this: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/39.md

This is a proposal for a Twitter/X bot which aims to assist in archiving relevant Twitter content by backing it up to the forum.

By tagging the bot account at the end of a thread, the preceding posts in the thread would get copied and reposted to the forum, just like e.g. the existing Thread Reader App bot.

The motivation for having such a bot is twofold:

1. Content on Twitter is fragile. Accounts frequently get deleted or banned and all posts by that account get deleted in the process.
2. It's a way to kickstart the forum and increase it's search engine ranking.

There are a few challenges that need to be addressed:

• Avoiding duplicates: If the bot is tagged multiple times in the same post in a thread, or if it is tagged multiple times in different posts in a thread, a new thread on the forum should probably not be created.
• Spam: Since anyone can tag the bot account in any post, I suggest that the bot has a way of filtering out irrelevant content. This can be done by: some combination of keywords checks, account whitelists and LLM algorithms.

If you feel up for the task of developing the bot, this forum provides a very nice API:

• https://docs.nodebb.org/api/read/
• https://docs.nodebb.org/api/write/

I suggest making it open-source so that other developers can help improve upon the bot.
