So what you're saying is, just take one step and all will be good?

From what I gather, the second step is what will kill you. So just don't take that second step, and you'll like forever?

On another note, supplements. I stick to protein powder, and creatine monohydrate. I find that powerlifting is the only thing keeping me sane in all these 35 hour Cedar Rapids overnights.

Oh, And the occasional coffee laced with jet A to perk me up in the morning.

All significant quantities of Pu are manmade, as you said, through custom reactor core processes.

But any conceivable element up to some reasonable atomic number (120-ish?) can be considered natural in the sense that it can probably be created by some natural process at some time or place in the universe, if not necessarily here on earth. In some cases maybe only at the big bang. Some of them decay very, very rapidly, so they certainly don't exist for long.

That's not Jet A in the potable water supply, it's blue juice. Hard to tell the diff in airplane coffee.

JP was often found in the ship’s potable water, to the point that the scuttlebutts smelled like it. CHENG would always tell us ‘nothing to worry about, it’s within acceptable limits.’

’There are acceptable amounts of JP5 in drinking water?!?’

You bet, for 29 minutes.

Reminds me of Dr. Red Duke’s Medical Minute on the radio. My favorite, “Hold on to the handrail when you are going down the stairs. Cause it ain’t the fall that hurts ya, it’s the sudden stop.”

Or if it is the ship’s coffee, and you have to chew it, ditto.

Had "diesel cookies" one time at sea, the tins of flour got stored where bilge water in a generator room got to them. We all got sick to our stomach.

I think that all of them are approved util they don’t contain any illegal/barely legal substance. You can definitely use proteins and peptides for your workouts because they are legal.
