Breakfast - 2 eggs == 12g protein

Lunch - pbj == 7g protein

Dinner - chicken breast == 31g protein

It seems to me my typical day is 50-60g protein, which is way lower than any recommendation 🙁

While I have no pretensions to being “typical”, if I get half the recommended protein in a day, yeah I have a problem believing the claim that most people get too much

And yet even if that were true, where is the economic policy targeting that? You don’t throw a tantrum and tariff the world, but could do something useful with targeted penalties on one hand and incentives for your own legacy manufacturers on the other. I could be convinced by that

But reality looks a lot more like fear and xenophobia

I’m stuck in a loop of deciding what my goal should be. Sure, you may not escape but how about revenge?

I first thought of stuffing myself, then thought why spend my last moments uncomfortable…… but then yeah why not. Why not overeat to excess, vomiting in your last moments to create a horrifying mess with purifying stench. Let the hangman pay. Let the doctor pay. Let the guards take au. Let the witnesses pay. Let them all regret bring here and carry it to their own end

There’s no “instead of”. We already paid for that fiber, and need to start insisting we get what we paid for

… “in addition to” getting low latency high bandwidth satellite. There are many legitimate use cases for satellite internet, including astronomy

While I do see the loss to astronomy, they can filter it out most of the time, they have satellite options, and most importantly there are a lot more internet users than astronomers

No, no the house is fine

Advertise a really nice house, post great pictures of it, Talk about how it’s the nicest house in the block ……. Then park a beat up RV and an old rusted out bus in the front yard

Modern social services and protections

• encourage unions
• universal healthcare
• universal pre-school
• universal college
• extended parental leave
• childcare support
• walkability/transit oriented cities

But Nixon didn’t flout the Constitution, violate human rights, or engage in so much corruption, so blatantly.

Nixon had the moral conviction to at least try to keep it quiet and there was enough moral fortitude in Congress that there were consequences

Complete? Hell no, wait until elections come up and they start to fall behind

I get that they were left behind and remaining residents feel desperate, but that shouldn’t mean a sharp turn toward the right

I said similar in the last few elections: do you really prefer the guy wanting to “tear it all down”, over the candidate who at least recognizes the problem and proposes something, even if you don’t believe it? So now we have cuts in aid of all sorts, cuts in healthcare, cuts in job development, cuts in pollution remediation for the least advantaged, instead of retraining that you don’t believe in? Really? So it’s better to sit there starving with no heat, not enough food, no access to healthcare, mine tailings threatening your town, etc? But at least you p*wned the libs, who wanted to …. Help?

Agreed. That seems like the “good old days”. We had reason for hope, and change (even if that was the previous guys slogan). Government may have been slow and have way too much red tape but it generally seemed to do the right thing.

A lot of upstate New York is like this. Many once great towns but population dropping for decades.

The town I grew up in was a great place to grow up. But the major employer left and nothing replaced it. It looks exactly the same except greyer, run down, partly abandoned. At least I don’t think there are any $5,000 houses left , so that’s something

Yeah, Cleveland was always an uncomfortable stop on road trips. I’m not entirely sure why, nothing else felt like that. But it was the only place I always wanted to get out asap.

I’m sure there are places that people like, but I never saw them

As someone who needs to lose weight, that calculator says my who minimum safe protein is 113 g/day. As a carnivore, I don’t see how I do this on most days.

I call bs on the claim that most of us get too much protein. Overweight people are less likely to and plant eaters are less likely to.

The muscle building community recommendations are based on insufficient evidence and are likely too high. I do believe those following them likely to get excessive protein their body can’t use but I don’t see how that generalizes to “most people”

I’ve read this stated before and I don’t see how it’s true.

• us RDA is based on weight and we’re a fat country. It looks like I’d need to eat 5 chicken breasts/day. Unless there’s a lot of hidden protein in my diet, That never happens
• most of this is backlash against gymbro recommendation with much higher protein levels to build muscle, that’s not really evidence based. Sure the specific levels are questionable but it does makes sense that some amount more is better: maybe I need to eat 6 chicken breasts in a day if I started exercising . That also never happens

I was going to say something like this is why guns are bad to have for “protection”: they’re more likely to be used in an argument.

…. But the shooter “had an existing criminal record” so clearly were effective at keeping deadly weapons away from felons

Yeah I’m pretty sure it will. Humans are also incompetent, egotistical, self-righteous drivers. Statistics say humans are in reality poor drivers and I’m confident the self-driving car will be safer overall

But there will always be those edge cases where a human could perhaps do better. They have different weaknesses. So it won’t be a clear cut decision when self-driving would be widely allowed

This was also my opinion from doing a trial of full self driving. It did an amazing job, and most of my corrections were wrong. It is already safer than a human in “normal driving” and has been for a while. But every drive had edge cases where it just wasn’t ready.

It’s not just that he’s illegally paying TotalEnergies to abandon their plan, but we in the northeast have ridiculously high electricity costs partly because these projects have already been delayed so many years. Now he’s locking us in to paying among the highest rates in the country?

For one that Trump tried to stop when it was almost done

For me, part of the issue is Netflix doesn’t remember for long enough what I have recently watched. All too often its recommendations are filled with things I’ve already watched, making it more difficult to find anything new.

To make it worse, they can be really annoying with different cover art. All too often the recommendations will include something with an unfamiliar cover art that I “haven’t” seen, only to realize that I did see it recently but under a different cover art or preview scene.

A long time ago I had a stamp with movable letter wheels so you could stamp anything. It was probably just for dates though, and I don’t know how well the wheels would scale to the entire alphabet

I’m same in reverse. I’ve never had problems finding Tesla superchargers on any trips. Most of them seem to be at shopping centers or malls, so there is usually something to do, but the trip planner usually schedules only 15-20 minutes so there’s little extra time

I do see other brands and tried one once to make sure I could, only to discover I didn’t have the right adapter

I have no idea where OPs claim came from but I do know there are a lot and they’ve been everywhere I’ve needed them. While rural areas won’t have any, even then most road trips will pass populated areas that will. Large unpopulated parts of the western us may be a different story

Fwiw the nearest supercharger to me is adjacent to a gas station on a service road immediately off the highway. However I have no reason to ever try one so close when I can charge at home. Was it New Jersey that had them at some rest areas until the state auctioned off the contract to a vendor that had them removed
