I think this is why I like the show. I enjoy crime dramas featuring what I would consider average people, not super detectives.

Just horrendous. I watched up to when they boarded the plane to go to Russia. Couldn't go any further with them totally ignoring the source material. I checked Rotten Tomatoes and not one critic even mentioned that the only relation to its source material were a few character names. The only...

I'm only about 20 minutes into this so far but immediately had to come look for the FOH thread on it. I have read Without Remorse at least 5 times. What the fuck? Why even bother calling it Without Remorse if it shares no plot with the book? One reason I liked the book so much was it was one...

Thats unfortunate. I'd love a Days Gone theme as I am really enjoying the game currently. It would be cool if that theme had the Horde stream out and run off screen periodically. On my PS4, I had a TLOU theme with a burning car which was pretty nice. I just finished the mission to catch up to...

I've been playing this slowly since I got the PS5. Performance is good and the game is a lot of fun to me. I am only up into the Lost Lake region with Iron Mike (and fairly early there), but I am trying to kill all the hordes and finish the regions as I go (minus the encampment missions). The...

We're only in Pre-Alpha 6!

We have a Discord server VGOEmulator that all of our SVN commits are automatically pushed to. It should be public. All of us are there pretty frequently to answer questions. https://discord.gg/8qzbRXRD

We are still working on the EMU, just wish we had another C++ coder to make it go faster. We have some really dedicated folks plugging away daily on quests, npc placement and pathing, diplomacy, and crafting recipes. There is slow but steady progress on bringing it back to life, and we are all...

The thing that excites me most about that spreadsheet is the flashbacks from Talenal and Shalash. If true, it would be far more interesting to read about the lives of two of the heralds than about Venli and Eshonai.

Why, was it an access to meat problem because everyone was stocking up on supplies? I just remember it being impossible to get TP and paper towels and yeast of all things where I live. Meat was fairly plentiful. It helps that there are some farms around here that periodically slaughter some cows...

Now we can all be friends again and discuss less polarizing topics like whether high cholesterol is actually bad for you.

Ossoi, I agree that my statement on not burning fat during an insulin spike was extreme. My thought process on that was from a study I had read that discussed basal Hormone Sensitive Lipase levels along with Free Fatty Acid levels during fasts. And then comparing that to levels in the presence...

I hadn't been checking the thread since my last post and pretty much never open up my notifications. I'll take a look at your post when I have enough time to give it non-cursory response.

I concede Ossoi. This is pointless and we are talking past each other. Congratulations on your results. They are impressive and you should be proud of them.

You literally quoted a section from my original post that was talking about calorie restriction and metabolism, so I responded to it with the first paragraph. Then I referenced the MS paint quotes with this (nary a mention of any calorie restriction): Its not my science, I didn't do the...

False. I'll stop trolling you now. Have a great day.

So your first quote of me refers to my understanding of calorie restricted diets and how they affect metabolism. I was saying that my understanding was that restricted calorie diets would only negatively affect your metabolism if your body had no access to fat stores to make up the energy debt...

I have never once claimed that I know better than you or that you should change your methods. I have vocally stated the opposite that I thought you would have NO NEED to cut refined carbs and sugar out of your diet. Nor do I know what is happening in your body. I am assuming your hormone...

Ossoi, you want a concession? I chose the wrong phrase in "does not apply to you". You've turned that into a stupid semantic argument that only you care about. You want something different that conveys better what every single post of mine has tried to describe, which has been understood by the...

Thank you, that is exactly what I am saying. The statement is accurate for him, but the benefit is essentially intangible because he is already healthy and fit. So there is no need to apply those dietary restrictions to himself if he doesn't want to. Small changes like that may be incredibly...

What I am saying is that the statement is accurate that refined carbohydrates and sugars cause elevated insulin responses (as borne out by the science) and that insulin is the gatekeeper to access energy stored as fat (as borne out by the science). That is true for you, its true for me, its true...

So you still maintain that you are mobilizing and burning fat in the presence of insulin induced lipolysis inhibition? Thats what you are disagreeing with? My statement that you aren't burning fat when your insulin is high?

I can't think of a way to make this easier for you to understand. "Your results" don't represent actual evidence that you are burning fat during insulin induced lipolysis inhibition as opposed to the very large amount of time in the rest of the day and night that your insulin is at basal...

Another interesting study: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/86/9/4193/2848721 Two Excerpts Not only does it suppress activity of the Lipase enzymes while insulin is high, the lipase activity doesn't restart right away. The insulin essentially halts fat mobilization for a period of time...

Everything I can find states unequivocally that insulin inhibits lipolysis, but I stated in a previous post that I don't know if thats an on-off type of inhibition or if the degree of inhibition is related to the level of insulin. I cannot, however, find anything to suggest that fat mobilization...

Maybe! I'm still waiting for my covid vaccine to give me the strength of a great ape.

My credentials don't really mean anything. I just put them because I figured someone would ask. None of this nutritional stuff was taught in school, beyond extreme basics focusing around frequency of eating and sugar intake and its effects on dental health. I do get it. You don't lose fat if...

I'll try this one more time and then I'm moving onto more productive things. Insulin blocks lipolysis and downregulates production of the hormones that increase lipolysis. Lipolysis is the breakdown of stored fat for energy. If you are claiming that Insulin doesn't do this, then you must cite...

This is probably another semantic argument. Insulin increase after eating has magnitude and duration. The science is pretty clear that you are not burning fat in an appreciable way when your insulin is elevated. Being healthy and active to a level far greater than the general population, you are...

I see nothing problematic with his statement there. Reducing refined carbs like pasta, breads, and sugars will reduce the intensity and duration of an insulin response. Insulin not only directly blocks lipolysis but also indirectly by downregulating the production of the hormones that trigger...

The abstract of that article seems to support what Dr. Fung is saying. Full article is locked behind a subscription though. I'm going to go to bed now, but maybe I'll try to find the full article from elsewhere in the morning.

Here is a statement regarding Growth Hormone timing and fasting This doesn't appear to have any real effect on metabolism based on another study I just read, but at least it should be protective towards lean muscle mass in short term fasting. Here is the full study...

This is probably a really bad idea, but I thought I would weigh in here. For background, I am dentist (make fun of me all you want for that) and that means I have completed 4 years of post-college education in all the normal subjects (anatomy, physiology, microbiology, immunology, etc...). That...

My interpretation of this is that the Others exist in another dimensional space to us or in another facet of a multiverse that touches ours through the usage of the alien technology, perhaps through its energy consumption. Like a ripple effect, where the ripples are felt in their reality. I...

I don't get why Mother didn't try and rip the snake thing in half while it was feeding on her. Father even had an axe at one point. I guess the idea might have been that as a dark photon android baby, maybe it would be as impervious as Mother was when she had her eyes. On a side note, I thought...

Could be. He has been asleep upstairs before and then goes berserk at the nearly inaudible beep of the PS4 starting up. Probably sounds like a train horn to him though.

I may load it up and give it a shot tonight, but I have such a stupid problem that I have to contend with. The dog that my wife and kids picked out apparently has an issue with me playing the Playstation. I have no idea why he cares, but he gets super high anxiety when I am playing. We were...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I ended up ordering this from amazon (arriving today) for 19.99. Looks like it got a pretty bad rap on release, but the videos I am watching of it in 2020 look really good with a lot of funny mechanics and moments. I kind of want to wait till I get a PS5 to...

You could have a “still-quality woman” who had a husband who didn’t take marriage seriously enough though. That’s probably a non trivial number. I think the Venn diagram overlap of “still quality women” and “women with giant chest tattoos” is exceedingly small though.

Haha yeah. That is exactly it.
