How did you comment this?

Let’s keep that ball rolling

Dunkin donuts is like New England’s tap water. Genuinely absurd. I think >50% of people make a regular habit of drinking there. It’s unremarkable for many to make 5+ visits per week

FDA blanket recommends 50g/day for adults. This is the value used on nutrition labels throughout the US

Other countries I believe recommend 0.8g/kg of bodyweight. For people building muscle, the current recommendation is 1.2-1.6g/kg bodyweight (or 0.5-0.7g per pound of bodyweight)

Nice! Yeah the only thing I would recommend, especially if you do pick up some strength training, would be to try and balance things through the week and not try to load the majority of your protein into the weekend.

Resistance training puts your body into a “muscle building state”, which will last for like, a couple days after you workout. You also want there to already be protein in your system before you hit the gym.

So even if you’re only strength training on the weekend, it works out that you’re gonna want the high protein on Monday and Tuesday as well, and also pick it up again by at least Thursday’s dinner. Which is basically just every day of the week at that point haha

No pressure of course, just my 2c based on experience getting people going in the gym. It’s more than a night and day difference between the ones who take the protein seriously and the ones who brush it off. I actually emphasize this far more with my clients than the actual training itself haha

I don’t know my exact numbers daily but I consume a lot of whey-protein

Hey, different person here and also with a totally unrelated point to what you two were talking about haha

But I train people in the gym and it’s incredibly common for people to be massively under eating protein while also firmly believing that they must be getting enough.

I’m not saying you are! But the pattern is always the same, where my clients will list a few foods with a “protein reputation” and sort of hand wave away the actual number. Then when we actually tally it up they’re shocked to learn they aren’t even at 30% of their daily goal.

Again not trying to insinuate that you’ve been doing anything wrong, just wanted to let you know that that’s a thing I see happen a lot. It’s worth going through a few typical days and calculating your actual number. I’m a vegetarian too fwiw, typically I suggest going like 10% higher than the general recommendation for meat eaters

Thank you for articulating it! Yeah the show has me on the edge of my seat. Re-watching it with some new people and actually that’s been incredible, too. The nuances of everyone’s performance, as well as the significance of small details, has been blowing my mind.

Spoilers below!

Thank you for posting! I wouldn’t have seen this otherwise. Just finished the finale before stumbling into this.

Sorry the show isn’t for you! I feel the total opposite haha, I’m thrilled with how things are playing out and the direction going into season three seems awesome.

Actually apple TV specifically, as in the service, has been the worst part of the experience for me. Happily unsubscribed now. Genuinely hate everything about it to the point where I’m strongly considering alternate means whenever season 3 comes out. But I am looking very much forward to it either way

I will take this moment to recommend Crosscode, one of the all time greats

From their FAQ, emphasis mine:

You shouldn’t get one if…

You need a perfectly polished smartwatch. This project is a labour of love rather than a startup trying to sell millions of watches. There may be some rough edges (literally). Things will get delayed. Some features will not be ready at launch. Things could break. Things could not last as long as you’d like. The only thing we can guarantee is that it will be awesome and a lot of fun! Every time you look down at your watch, you will smile

So yeah, I’d say your take is pretty accurate. At least they’re honest lol

Unearthing so many memories of clutching my gameboy in the back seat and dozing off with it. That feeling of being powerless and adrift, yet in motion nonetheless and holding on to whatever little thing it is that I know and understand and love.

There was a period of time when I would have saved this particular xbox model from a fire, and been left with nothing else. Perhaps I too would have fallen asleep holding it, not knowing where I’d be when I woke up. Absolutely marvelous work as always, thank you

It’s pretty well done, no worries. Took me a minute too

Oh my god I’ve never heard of this, I’m so sorry. That’s absurd

What? How can the church ring the bells all night?

Woah!

me writing “the ocean :)” as my permanent address on government documents

That’s 2B from Nier Automata. Yeah pretty much. Android battle unit. I think her being that heavy is official in-game lore

Dolphins are the most classic example, having the blow hole.

Insects ‘breath’ through their ‘skin’

Double down, I trust you guys to tell me what’s really going on

Well they’re probably a good source of protein in that case!
