California contributes more in taxes than it takes and is the largest economy in the US. California contributes a lot to other states.

@@AdverseOpinion California also receives far more federal funding than other states. For example, in fiscal year 2021, California received about $143.7 billion in federal funding. This was by far the highest amount among all states.

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. It's essential that we balance work both inside and outside the home between partners. This way, we not only foster stronger relationships but also create a more supportive and fulfilling environment for everyone. By sharing responsibilities and working together, we can ensure that both partners have the opportunity to contribute equally, leading to happier families and a brighter future for the next generations. It's all about building a partnership based on mutual respect and cooperation.

@@DailyFastDiaries Hey Sis I just wish you can focus on strength training. You're a beautiful woman! You dont need to starve yourself. Focus on protein and growin ur muscles! Get toned. You will have so much energy and you will look like a million dollars! Girl Power!

That's awesome! I used to do sets, too. I first started lifting weights in high school and learned a lot about reps from books and other resources. Eventually, I found it easier and better to use a timer and focus on time instead. This way, I don't rush through the reps and can take it slow, working to my maximum. When we do sets of 10 and so forth, we often waste a lot of time between reps, whether starting a different exercise or taking a break. I've always been very busy, putting myself through school, working, and raising my kids, so efficiency became crucial. Even now, with my kids grown up and out of the house, I find it much more efficient to do an entire minute without breaks. In one minute, I can get between 30-60 reps done, and in two minutes, 60-120 reps. It's very efficient. I'm glad you found what works for you, too! I think it's important to keep trying different things to find what works best for ourselves. I use dumbbells that are about 14 pounds each for most exercises, and for some of the more difficult exercises, I use 5-pound weights. I do agree, shoveling snow is a great workout! so great, in fact, that it can cause heart attacks. Be careful out there, and take breaks as needed, especially when the weather is warmer and the snow is heavier. 😀

@@DailyFastDiaries Thanks DFD. I will heed your awesome suggestions.

Thanks! It was a beautiful day and Pickles sure enjoyed the time outside!

Thanks for the info. I appreciate hearing from you. Are you saying that the fact that California is dumping rainwater into the ocean is contributing to climate change? If so, I would agree - it's a proven fact that the fires themselves are generating a lot of heat into the atmosphere and if California had better managed their rainwater, and kept it instead of dumping it into the ocean, then they could have prevented these fires. I'm not sure if that is what you were getting to, if I've interpreted your comment incorrectly, please let me know.

@@DailyFastDiaries Yes. California dumping rainwater into the ocean is definitely making the climate catastrophe even worse. Our over-heated atmosphere is now drying our land even further, and to lower depths, than ever before. California should be taking the exact opposite actions. They should be trying to shore up ways to keep as much rainwater out of the ocean and on the land. We need to have more moisture in the soil, and more water on top of the land in the form of ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers.

I'm an idiot. Beavers are all over the USA, and I think I knew this as a kid. There are about 15 million beavers in Canada, and another 15 million beavers in the USA. But when I looked at a map of beaver populations in the USA, there aren't any in south Florida or south California. So it looks like LA is most likely too hot for beavers to survive.

@@environmentalcanadian2338 Hi there! Thanks so much for the kind words about the video and the fascinating info about Ontario's beavers. I had no idea Canada has more fresh water lakes than the rest of the world combined - that's incredible! 🦫 As for Minnesota, we do have a healthy beaver population. Beavers are actually quite abundant here and can be found in every county. They're nature's original water conservationists and play a big role in shaping our landscape with their impressive dam-building skills. It's amazing to hear about how beavers are being used to restore land in Australia too. Nature really does have some incredible solutions, doesn't it?

@@DailyFastDiaries I couldn't agree more. Yes, it's always better to use nature for our environmental solutions. Work with nature, not against it. 👍

@@DailyFastDiaries An invitation to come to Canada: You seem like such a very nice person, very Canadian in many ways I might even say. If things with Trump get too much for you, we'd love to have you move up to Canada. The vast majority of Canadians, including myself, despise Trump. As do most democratic people around the world. We are incredibly angry with Americans for voting in a horrible human being, a demonstrated racist, a convicted sexual predator, who has stated he wants to cause harm to my country Canada, and other democracies around the world. (Russia and China are loving Trump. Trump has mostly given praise to Putin and Zi Jinping. He has given them the green light to invade Taiwan and Eastern Europe). Starting next year, I was planning on vacationing, in my Cybertruck and tiny house on wheels, in California and/or Oregon for the two coldest months of the year. But now, after Trump, I will NEVER EVER EVER go to the USA again. I'm done with it. The USA will NEVER see a dime of my vacation money. I was always turned off by so many Americans love of guns and violence and racism anyway. There are many amazing wonderful American people, but way too many MAGA Americans who are politically way too far right for me, and have views that I deem as horrible at best, and evil at worst. The cause of so many Americans becoming so hateful, and feeling they can now express those views, is from them watching FOX NEWS. I find that the Fox network is appalling. Anyways another rant. Please do me a favour and let your American friends know how much permanent harm they have done by electing Trump. And I forgot one last thing. Trump is also very unintelligent. He is so stupid and uninformed it's incredible. I don't know whether his stupidity makes him less dangerous or even more dangerous. Sorry for another rant but these are challenging times and Canadians are now living in fear and uncertainty. Thanks MAGA.

Wow, that's quite a salary! I can see why that would be a hot topic. It's definitely an interesting approach to attracting top talent, but it does raise questions about priorities, especially when there are ongoing water management challenges.

California has indeed attempted to secure water from Minnesota in the past, notably through proposals to divert water from the Missouri River and other sources. These efforts have faced significant legal and environmental challenges. So far, they've been unsuccessful, which is why I say "trying" rather than saying they are doing it now. Regarding your comment, I understand how it might come across, but that wasn't my intention at all. Patronizing means to think less of others, and what I’m actually saying is the exact opposite. I believe that California is just as capable of managing their resources as responsibly as we are, and therefore, I hold them to the same high expectations. It’s about recognizing everyone's potential and encouraging fair and sustainable practices.

Hi, here's a link to one of the articles "1037theloon.com/southern-california-wants-minnesotas-water/"

Here's another linkruclips.net/video/pzaTMq-MdrE/видео.htmlsi=OWGnJ5oFpwlhm_Vc

it was tried in 2022, failed, but with the new fires, I'm hoping they don't try again.

That's a lot of lakes. You know what outnumberes the lakes? The quantity of armed men defending their land. Can't wait to see you. Theft is a crime in the rest of the world

Theft is a crime in the civilized world. You're in for a rude awakening if you think normal people will accept your Californian entitlement.

You are the reason why the 2a is so important.

Nah. You sold your water to a private company. Why should others dig you out of the hole you jumped into

what makes you think you have a right to other peoples resources? literally just deal with your own problems, you incompetent fools.

During periods of heavy rainfall, California channels over 6,600 acre-feet (approximately 2 billion gallons) of water into the ocean daily. This is not through the rivers. It is through the manmade infrastructure in California. Historical Context and Major Projects - Los Angeles River Channelization (1930s-1950s): Aimed at preventing urban flooding by diverting rainwater to the ocean. Instead of sending it to the ocean, they should have other means and areas of containment. They've had almost 100 years to correct this, since this project began over 100 years ago. Planning started around 1905, and construction began nearer to 1930. - Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta: Managed flood risks by flushing rainwater out to sea, maintaining water levels and preventing flooding. Again, instead of sending it to the ocean, they should be diverting it somewhere inland - Coastal Flood Control Channels: Designed to protect coastal communities from natural flooding by diverting rainwater to the ocean. Perhaps coastal communities shouldn't have been built in flood zones in the first place.

Yes, much like people do, who have unhealthy obsessions and unrealistic goals their leaders have made this destructive problem. I hope they get it fixed, and do better in the future.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've been interested in fasting since the 1990s, thanks to my brother who introduced me to it, and have primarily read studies by the NIH in the decades since but didn't actually put it much into practice, though I do try to make sure I don't eat too much due to the extensive research on caloric restriction. I got more into it when I started implementing fasting a couple of years ago after reading Dr. Jason Fung's work. While it's been a bit challenging to stick to, I'm still exploring and learning about the best approach for me. I'll definitely check out Dr. Sten Ekberg's video to see his perspective. Appreciate the tip!

@@DailyFastDiaries You are very welcome DFD. I think over all that I will be learning much more from you regarding fasting than the other way around. But when it comes to climate change, and climate mitigation, I think that more information will flow from me to you. You and I have kind of like a symbiotic relationship, we can help each other with our different expertise. I think we will make our relationship a win-win for us both. Enjoy your weekend, Cal. 🙂

That's fantastic! Housework CrossFit as a Moving Meditation is a fun way to say it. Touching past your toes is an impressive achievement-well done! It's amazing to see how taking care of ourselves can lead to such rewarding progress. Keep up the great work! 🙂

That's awesome! I love how dedicated you are to being environmentally friendly. I've also been using reusable bags for a while now-they're sturdy enough to toss in the washing machine but still thin enough to carry in my purse. It's always great to hear about others who are making efforts to reduce waste.

@@DailyFastDiaries Thanks. Like wise.

Thanks so much! Honestly, I think many women my age have been through at least one abusive relationship - it's sadly very common. So, if you see other women my age who prefer to keep things private or seem cautious, it's often because they've faced similar experiences. Your understanding means a lot! 🙂

@@DailyFastDiaries 👍

@@DailyFastDiaries Good to know.

Hey Cal, thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. I appreciate the feedback on climate change. While I understand and don't argue that there might be some correlation, my point is that before we blame other people for our problems, we should look at what we are doing. California is quick to blame climate change without looking at their own behaviors that are also creating these dry conditions. Just like California is diverting vast amounts of rainwater into the ocean instead of utilizing it positively, here in Minnesota, we have different management methods, and I'll delve into that more in future videos. I agree with you on the benefits of longer fasting. Personally, I've faced some challenges with it, and I suspect others do too. So I'm trying to use myself as a guinea pig to figure it out. Thanks for sharing your experience and insights-it's truly inspiring! Have a great day!

@@DailyFastDiaries Thank you. Have a great day yourself.

@@DailyFastDiaries I agree with you about California putting all the blame on the climate catastrophe.

Thank you so much for your kind words and ongoing support! I completely agree that Shorts are a great way to quickly share information, but they do have their limitations. Sometimes, people might misunderstand or misinterpret the message because of the format. That's why I create longer videos as well, to provide more thorough explanations and ensure the information is clear and accurate. I know these longer videos might reach a smaller audience, but I believe it's important to get the message across correctly. Thanks again for your support!

It's great that people find unique ways to express themselves and build relationships. The most important thing is that communication is open and honest, ensuring that both parties feel respected and valued, never humiliated. That being said, it's not really a topic I'm comfortable diving into. I believe mutual respect and ensuring everyone's comfort and happiness are key.

It's great that you're thinking about your future and what role you want to play. If you want to be a househusband, it's important to have an open and honest conversation with your potential partner. Keep in mind that staying at home can involve sacrifices, like career and income potential, so it's something to consider carefully. Even if you don't have a high IQ, you might find opportunities in fields that suit your strengths. Sometimes, when men say they want to stay at home, it can be misinterpreted as not wanting to work. To be taken seriously, you'd need to be good at housekeeping, cooking, and cleaning. The key is balancing the number of hours worked, so both partners feel they're contributing equally-whether it's in the office or at home.

@@DailyFastDiaries Thanks, I agree!

My target weight is 135, and I currently fluctuate between 140 and 146. By managing my weight now, while the difference is still small, I can stay ahead of any potential issues instead of waiting until it's harder to handle.

That sounds exactly like my experience! I find reading Mandarin much easier compared to understanding spoken Mandarin. I also watch a lot of cdramas, and I feel like they help me improve. Have you tried the Viki app for watching cdramas? It's great!

@DailyFastDiaries I have Viki but I didn't realize my ex put a VPN on the Internet so I can't access it anymore (I don't know how to turn it off and I haven't sat down to try either), but I do have a subscription with IQIYI which has a lot of Chinese and Thai dramas too.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I completely agree that we can't always assume good intentions, even from family. Sometimes, our family members respond to us in ways that are influenced by subconscious feelings. For instance, if good things happen to you but not to them, they might take it as a personal attack, even if unintentionally. We need to recognize that their reactions aren't always coming from a conscious place. The best we can do is to be kind and stand up for ourselves in a positive way. It's important to set realistic expectations and understand that these old patterns may not change. We can still spend holidays and family events together, but it's okay to limit the time we spend with people who aren't supportive, even if they're family. It's all about finding a balance that protects our well-being.

Thank you so much for your concern! I really appreciate your advice to talk to a nutritionist. I've already seen quite a few doctors and had my nutrition thoroughly analyzed by a professional. I take very good care of myself, and my diet is very healthy, which is why I'm as healthy as I am.

@@DailyFastDiaries If you were clearly obese I could see trying to pursue a much lower weight, but you are not obese. You appear to me to have a healthy weight, yet to be striving for "just a few more pounds" off when in reality you don't need it. My concern comes when you talk about your body's physical reaction to the fasting. It's telling you what you are providing it is not enough. Specifically when it comes to your heart's rythm. Food is not a pleasure of life, it is a necessity. Hunger is your body's way of telling you that it's not getting what it needs. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe that intermittent fasting can be good. The key word there is "intermittent". What really made me comment is when you talk about the affect that fasting has on your heart. If your eating patterns leave you light-headed and un-fulfilled, then you should listen to your body. It appears to me that you are striving for something you have already accomplished. You look well, and healthy, and amazing. You are beautiful and with where you are, a few pounds either way isn't going to change that. But that is just my opinion. You have to live with you, and accept yourself. I guess I just want you to consider that you may already be at your ideal weight because to me, you look amazing.

@@spacenerd757 more freindly Thank you so much for your thoughtful concern! I genuinely appreciate your perspective and would love to clarify a few things. I regularly visit my doctor and make my health decisions in consultation with them. Managing my weight while the amount I want to lose is still small helps me stay proactive, rather than waiting until there's a lot to lose and it's a lot more work. I've had SVT symptoms for as long as I can remember, and it isn't related to fasting. It's a physical difference that I've consulted a cardiologist about. As long as I'm healthy, I believe it's up to each of us to determine our own body weight goals based on what feels right for us. I understand you might not agree with my goals, but it's all about what makes me feel healthy, comfortable and confident. Thank you again for your comments and support. I hope this helps you understand my perspective a bit better! 🙂

Thank you for sharing your experience. Being from another country and culture can indeed make someone more vulnerable, not just feel like an easy target, but actually be one. This means you might need to be even more cautious and aware in order to protect yourself. It's unfortunate that it requires constant vigilance and strong boundaries. I truly hope you've been able to find some good people in the US who appreciate and respect you. Surrounding yourself with kind and supportive individuals can help make your experience here more positive. Your resilience and determination to protect yourself are admirable, and I wish you all the best in finding peace and happiness.

@@DailyFastDiaries Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your perspective; I really appreciate your honesty 😊. When I say everyone is toxic, what I mean is that all of us, including you, me, and everyone else, have both good and bad parts. It's important to stay humble and recognize that we all have our own weaknesses. Sometimes, we don't realize how our words and actions affect others, and we can unintentionally hurt people without even knowing it. My focus is on bringing out the best in others and accepting people lovingly with all their flaws. Establishing boundaries doesn't mean we have to be alone. We can have gentle boundaries that allow us to adjust our time and energy based on the kindness people show us. I respect your decision and understand that it's about finding what works best for you. Everyone's journey is different, and it's all about finding balance and peace in our own way.

@@DailyFastDiaries Thank you for feedback. I've been thinking a lot after watching your video and realized that isolating to avoid abuse is a boundary issue more than anything else. Not trusting yourself to be able to set the right boundaries to stay safe, you close yourself off completely to make sure you're safe. It's a trauma response and not really healthy in the long run. I like that you focus on finding a balance between personal safety while still staying open to connection. Looking forward to more videos🙂

I've tried various meals, but they all seem to cause issues. Whether it's high fat or light and salad-like, I always experience problems. Diabetes runs in my family, and a doctor told me I'm prediabetic. However, over 20 years, it never progressed to true diabetes. I credit this to keeping my weight low and frequent fasting. Nevertheless, I still face some sugar-related issues. Additionally, I have digestion problems that affect my entire digestive tract, from my esophagus to my intestines. Even without considering the insulin response, my body has to work very hard to digest food, which also contributes to my fatigue.

Thank you for your comment. I understand how it might feel to not have anyone in your life who brings out the best in you. However, the intent of my message was to emphasize the importance of focusing on bringing out the best in others. While it's wonderful to find people who uplift us, our goal should be to create positive and supportive environments for those around us, all while maintaining healthy boundaries. Building meaningful connections can be challenging, but focusing on bringing out the best in others can create positive and supportive relationships. Your efforts to foster kindness and understanding can make a significant difference.

Thank you, Cal. I appreciate your feedback!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'd like to clarify that when I talk about Female-Led Relationships (FLRs), I'm not referring to relationships where anyone's needs are ignored or disrespected. Instead, I envision FLRs as a way to create an environment where women have a voice and are equally respected. The goal is to foster an egalitarian partnership where both partners' contributions and voices are valued. This isn't about dominance or submissiveness, but about balancing traditional gender dynamics to ensure mutual respect and collaboration. While some might associate FLRs with specific stereotypes, it's really about giving women a platform to express themselves fully and equally within their relationship. Moreover, open communication, respect, and understanding are key components of any healthy relationship, including FLRs. It's about finding what works best for both partners and creating a supportive and empowering dynamic. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify this!

thanks I hope you had a great holiday!
