I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange

The article is titled

We breathe air not oxygen

I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement

Including how oxygen is manufactured

How oxygen is calibrated

Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination

Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli

Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity

Can you see the problem?

The new take on lung physiology:

The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds

RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac

The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture

Seasonality of colds/flu is related to cold dry air and dehydration

Dehydration is the point of susceptibility

I day traded for several years. No longer....

A substack on card counting would be great!

Reid, That is too funny. When I was living in SoCal many years ago I used to go to LV and count. Single deck, LV stand/hit s17 rules, of course. (As I am sure you know, this is the only game where the odds favor you.) I got walked from multiple casinos with the "this is supposed to be a game of chance" speech from people with whom one did not argue although they were always unfailingly "polite".

Now, hardly anyone plays with one deck (shoes are ubiquitous) and I gave it all up long ago when the monitoring got more sophisticated than a guy looking down through the ceiling mirror and a nod from the croupier...lol. But always a fun topic.

Anything you write I find engaging (well, probably not day trading) but I didn't expect card counting to be on my Reid bingo card.

OK I'll do it. I'm doing the revision of Heroes and villains now with lots of new names. Then the audio book. Then I'll do it. Lots of people you would recognize have been big time card counters. Bill Gross of PIMCO counted. Ken Uston, who had to wear disguises, counted for years. others. It was a fun time.

We must spend trillions to "get our act together" but these "leaders" cannot begin to define what our act is supposed to be!! Truly terrifying. These are simply disorderly imaginings.

Kennedy is great. Plus, we are heading into perhaps another minimum (I think we are in one now).
