    You'd think this because of the horse shit that was spread throughout the media and medical community through the 90s and 00s, but it isn't the case. While I've almost always been skinny, I was consious of my health and diet since I was in college and put on 20 lbs the first semester of...

    No, there is plenty of keto bullshit that will make you fat if you eat it too much, too. If you eat mostly meat with at least a modest amount of fat and pair that with whole fruit and full fat dairy then you don't have to portion control or calorie count. Some people like eating vegetables...

    Your body doesn't need carbs. It needs a small amount of glucose. Luckily, your body also has the mechanisms to create that glucose as long as you are eating sufficient protein.

    Carbs are certainly not essential for the human body. There is no such thing as an "essential carb" only essential proteins and fats. For someone suggesting research, you seem to be woefully ignorant on the subject. Does the body, particularly the brain, require glucose? Yes. Thankfully, our...

    It isn't. I currently do it, lots of people do it. Just because you choose to portion control and eat bullshit doesn't mean it is the only way.

    Haha. Brown rice is bullshit. It isn't "clean". It is just pure carbs with no other benefit.

    Portion control and calorie counting only matter if you eat bullshit.

    The problem with this is that pihole doesn't block YouTube or Twitch ads successfully. If you are on desktop than Brave browser takes care of YouTube ads, but Twitch is still there and built into the front of the stream. On mobile, though, it is adfest 3000 all day, every day.

    Once they went hardcore on ads, my Twitch viewing dropped dramatically. I don't begrudge them ads entirely, but when you get a 30 second ad every single time you switch to a new stream you can go fuck yourself.

    The fuck is this? Of course you should just eat prime rib if you possibly can. Do you think chicken legs are healthier or something?

    The Fast Food Thread

    Prices for fast food are fucked up right now, even within the same menu. My McDonalds is still running their 2 for $3 on McDoubles but have jacked up the price of regular cheeseburgers to $1.29. I don't even understand how that math works for them.

    Home buying thread

    For the life of me, I can't understand people with smaller (3/2, 3/1, 2/2) homes selling them even if they expect some kind of crash soon. These are the most affordable houses in existence. No one is building anything other than 3/2 new and those are not being built at prices that the lower...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    Saw it last night. This movie is fucking wild. I think I loved it, but it is so crazy that it is hard to be sure. Definitely a must watch for sci-fi fans as this is the most sci-fi movie released in I don't know how long.

    It really seems like young people haven't been given a proper explanation of an important concept these days. Buyer's remorse. It is a real thing, but it is no one's fault but your own. Clearly this excludes situations of outright fraud, but lying and guilt-tripping have always been a part...

    Point taken. He is also a practicing physician who specializes in weight loss and reversing metabolic diseases with diet who, in that very video, espouses exercise as a necessary part of being healthy and happy. I linked this video as I am a thin, 6 foot tall 40 year old with a job and two...

    So my increased cold brew consumption has led to me almost never using my super automatic any longer despite it being fantastic. I was thinking about downgrading to a single cup maker like a Nespresso, but am worried about the cost of pods and potentially being locked into a proprietary...

    I like stronger coffee, so I use espresso beans to make my brew. If you use Costco you can pick up some basic Lavaaza Cafe Espresso in a 2.2 lb bag for about $13. I know that @Lanx uses Don Francisco's from Amazon at a good price, aand I imagine that the Kroger brand you use is sold there in...

    For starters, I don't know if you want to be setting up your French press every day. Cold brew usually steeps for a minimum of 24 hours which is why I make it a gallon at a time but only drink 1 cup a day. For your consumption, I would buy one of those 5 gallon metal coffee dispensers from...

    It is purely for added drop protection. I've had plenty of small drops crack the protector without damaging the screen, and I still don't trust glass technology on these phones.

    It is legitimately insane because it lays bare the whole progressive lie. This forum full of 40 year old dudes had absolutely no problem, by and large, with literally the gayest part of the show because it never once tried to hit you over the head with how gay it was, rather it was an actual...

    Maybe that is my problem. I refuse to have a smartphone without a screen protector, even though I made sure to get one that said it was compatible with the scanner. I read 3 different articles today about how Samsung's under screen reader beats the shit out of Google's, so maybe I'm just the...

    So I think I hate the S22+. I've been using it for a month now and the whole Samsung ecosystem is terrible compared to the Pixel. Admittedly, that may just be because I've used Pixel/Nexus phones for the last 10 years, but it is really annoying. The worst feature, though, hands down is the...

    In the final years of the 90's, Hardee's had the goddamn Monster Burger. That was the pinnacle of fast food. 4 patties, 6 slices of bacon, 4 slices of cheese. Carl's Jr came into Oklahoma and took over all the Hardee's in the early 2000s much to everyone's chagrin.

    So I'm kind of sick of colossal swords due to their slow ass animations, but I'd like to stay STR if possible. Are there any Straight Sword/Greatsword/etc STR builds that are good? I already have the Nightrider's Glaive leveled, but it isn't my favorite.

    Cold brew bros, after several years of waiting for good, disposable, submergible bags to exist the wait is finally over. I can confirm this does exactly what it says it does. I use 1 3/4 cups of (measured pre-grinding) beans per gallon of water and this bag has plenty of room for all the...
