@C_Reilly5 @OliverSherouse I'll do you one better: "It is very acceptable.", he commented. 😂

@mscarnivore Could be a vitamin K deficiency thing, but not sure we've done anything to solve that or if we really had it systemically back then

@castlehillmom Smart. I'd say 6 months, 2.5 years in fact. There's nothing between 30 and 36 months that will change anything anyway

This is the proper take. Marc and I have discussed alcohol a fair amount. We don't want our kids seeing or becoming shit-shows. I've found his quote "No real business happens after one drink" to generally be true. But there's something about a serving of alcohol that is also cleansing, physically and spiritually. It's a tool to be used in celebration, not in sadness. Great societies were built on the substance. Other substances, not so much. The healthier you get, the better you can handle 1-3 drinks. I still don't like to go beyond that anymore though.

I’m anti-alcohol. There is no good amount of alcohol. I’ve been very clear about that. But recently a podcast where the host said one glass of wine destroyed three days for him got me thinking - how weak and “optimized” have we become? This country was founded by a bunch of

@fwmarqix Every child needs one level headed parent to keep things running and one kinda-insane parent to keep things fun and interesting. You and me, we're on the same team. You get the elephant

My experience is the opposite One was taken over by a people that repeatedly led to pool closures due to defecation problems (I'm being dead serious, you can figure it out) Another had more dogs than I've ever experienced in my life. Once one would bark, the entire neighborhood would go off No thanks. I'll take my acreage and as few neighbors as possible. The cows and donkeys next door are much preferable to these "amenities"

@M_Sorentino @themoviedadsc A ton of work has been put into making pea/rice blends taste better too. Those at least have decent amino acid profiles when formulated well, BUT the heavy metals are a big concern.

@skibbi9 @oldstocky My swim times are absolutely meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I hate talking about myself. It's just demonstration that my continual speed improvements throughout my 40s show that the dietary pattern isn't "not working". They def won't last forever though

@InternetHandle_ @themoviedadsc Yeah we've podcasted with Solein, crazy interesting tech. Perfect Day too. Thing is, they're a tiny tiny tiny drop in the bucket compared to world dairy production, and they'll be no cheaper. Wild to see it though

Back in the day they used to throw the whey OUT - it was waste product during cheese production. Whey is only 20% of the protein - curds (casein) is 80%! GLP-1 flipped the market entirely upside down. People are eating less cheese and certainly less pizza, and without cheese production, there's less incentive to make whey. This is the first time basically in forever that cheese consumption has gone down. Meanwhile those same GLP-1 users are being told to eat more protein, so they want more whey! They don't know that we used to get it for $5/lb, so they're not as sticker shocked either. And then stores like Starbucks are gobbling up supply on top of this all, and every stupid snack now has more protein added. Meanwhile, the herds are down, and it takes forever to spin up new processing / manufacturing for whey. Some relief will come in a year, and I'm guessing some products like high-protein pop tarts will get flushed out of the market. We'll see. But yeah, this is unprecedented times

Today was a pretty special day My daughter had her first swim meet, which was a friendly intrasquad event where us old master's swimmers were also invited. Age groups were divided into 12 and under and 13 and over. So us old guys are out there getting smoked by 15 year olds She had a blast and wants to do more, and I got a 55 in the 100 yard free, 24 in 50 free, and 27 in 50 fly. Not bad for age 44, I've only gained a second in my 50 since age 28 This is the end of a great swim season, now it's time to change it up and do a bit of bulking

@FindingSuperjoy Yeah if you cook em like crazy that's the way to go I think you could also consider cooling them back down to turn some into resistant starch, but not sure if that's good for the pump effect

@richcollins Yah man carnivore diet with a CGM is basically a waste of money. Mostly a flat line. Gotta screw with some carbs and HIIT cardio and weights to see how things fly around
