Getting chilly.

Getting tired, too, again.  Nearing time to go on back to bed.

Something I saw the other day has been on my mind.  I put up a different video from this guy, but... this is the one I thought the more important.  What he suggests, about this and that?  Well, sure, probably?  Or... so I suggest as well.  However, the important thing is about calories.

It comes down, really, to thinking of calories as all the same.  Based on btu assessments.  But, as I think he suggests, but I will if he didn't, it's like trying to run a gasoline engine on diesel, or a two-stroke motor on pure gasoline, among other examples.  Even if you put in the right, technically, number of "calories", or btu's, of power equivalent, doesn't mean the engine will run, properly, well, or for long if you can get it to run.

The body, I have found, on carnivore?  Doesn't waste much, when fed meat.  I simply don't poop much.  My body uses almost everything I put in.  And, what is passed through, is... clean, not sticky or as stinky.  It's a totally different process, than living off carbs.  Funny thing is, the additive for a lot of gasoline is also carb (corn) based, and gums up the engine just like it gums up a human g.i. tract, and possibly what really gets into the vascular system.

Meat is a clean burning product.  Or... protein and fat, I should say.  Though, too?  Extra fats is the buy-in.  Not the long term goal.  Once you get fat adapted, then, to lose weight, you begin cutting fats.  You still want some, in order to absorb fat soluble vitamins (and minerals?).  I don't think your own body fat will provide for that?  But, you can cut it to about even, or even slightly protein denser of a diet.

Anyway, yes.  A calorie absolutely is not a calorie.  Either it offers the body nutrients, or it doesn't.  How many btu's of energy stored in it means absolutely nothing if your body can't use that energy.

I dreamed, daydreamed?  Can't be sure now, as I am falling back to sleep, and can't remember when I had the dream?  Anyway... it was about how they defeated dragons.

Many believe the ballista was the way.  In my dreams, I saw them try, and test, that.  Eventually giving it up.  While it was a lot easier to strike the dragon with the bolt from said, the scales were pretty much impenetrable.  However, what worked was the catapult.

Not using the huge stones, for a castle or keep siege, but smaller, rounded, stones, for distance.  Oh, it was a nightmare to try to kill dragons this way, almost like trying to kill flies with spitballs.  However, it ended up being the only way.

The true weakness of a dragon isn't it's skin, scales, or a secret mostly hidden weak spot.  It was the fragility of the bones.  Like all creatures which fly, the bones must be hollow.  And, while a dragon is a large creature, it is still subject to physics of flight, namely weight limits.

As it turns, they would have rows and columns of catapults, and would, over time, figure out how to strike the creature, trapping it between these devices sending their projectiles, and those.  Practicing on the non-fire emitting, and younger, dragons.  Then, finally, taking out the elder dragons.  Until, finally, none remained.  

Though, were the dragons evil?  That I can't say.  Though, I suspect, men would have killed them, were they good, even more so.  Just... some thoughts I was having in the background, as I dreamed.  Hmm?  No, dracula, the diminutive, the child of, the dragon born.  Not the original form.  Should I... have wings of sorts.  *puff*

Well... on back to bed.  Good morning.
