[23:14:12] <exec> 08└─But no matter how accurate my models for how water breaks down calcium carbide into acetylene, and how ozone and a spark breaks down acetylene into CO2, no amount of detection of CO2 will let me infer that there used to be calcium carbide.

That could be due to poor gut bacteria or something like symptom-less gluten intolerance (so you're not extracting many nutrients from what you're eating). You can stop if you want to. That full feeling is either the up/down blood sugar cycl...

Constantly eating to always feel full is clearly bad. Your body needs time to digest the food and use the energy you just ate. Keeping your s...
