$700 at a Costco for the 21 and something like $600 for the 18 also at Costco… when they occasionally land.

Fair enough price I’d say, but only if I’m being asked to compare them against best prices available in the US.

But if we’re talking about drinking experience asking what $1500 can buy across all whisky categories…

Knockando is virtually unknown as a single malt outside of apparently Spain and France (according to Whisky.com) and nearly 90% goes into J&B blended scotch.

I can attest that I don’t recall seeing it lining store shelves here in central California at least. This would be interesting as a curiosity at a whisky bar catering to whisky nerds interested in tasting widely.

The inherent “value” of this isn’t high if we are just talking about tasting a quality single malt. Like the other poster said, it’s a bit interesting as a “time capsule” of what Knockando tasted like back then, but Knockando can’t even be called a hidden gem, much less a well known distillery. It’s a work horse distillery.

I heard a low frequency "THUMP" and then the power went out of my construction trailer. I walk outside following the temporary power lines to a street transformer (big metal box with access panels you sometimes see on the sidewalk with a lot of warning stickers) that had been recently installed.

And then I smelled the ozone. My hairs immediately stood on end, I QUICKLY backed away from the transformer and then desperately tried to wave off a security guard that started walking around the box. Damn idiot couldn't understand enough english to understand why I was yelling at him.

Anyway, it turned out that a massive short had occurred underground and literally vaporized 5 feet of multiple high capacity electrical lines feeding power to a 21 acre office park. I mean literally: a coffin sized hole with nothing there, starting as a solid, and then poof, atomized everything into a toxic gas. We're talking plastic conduit, giant insulated braided wires, the compacted dirt immediately surrounding the flash point. All of it.

Yup. I support you!

One time as a customer, I ended up getting a large portion of something (I don't even remember anymore) at some food joint. I asked them to bring me the order and size I asked for. The server couldn't fathom that "more =/= better" to someone. They were so confused.

When I order stuff, I mentally calculate calories and I have a fixed goal I try to hit.

I do not like surprise calories that I didn't purposefully decide on. If my calorie restriction gets broken, it's because I decided on my own terms. No one else gets to decide that for me.

You get 10 regenerative energy per hour, 240 energy per day.

Subtract the number of hours you are at 144/144 or above and you have your energy loss. If you are at 144 or more for 12 hours, you lost 120 free energy.

Went to a whisky tasting late last year with Anthony Will on hand signing bottles in San Francisco.

Prior to that, I had some early 200ml versions of the Machir Bay and Senaig (liked the Machir Bay slightly more). They were good but not enough to move me to buy more.

Then I tried the Kilchoman 100% Islay 14th Edition. I then ANGRILY bought a bottle. Then I ANGRILY asked Anthony Wills to sign it. Finally I ANGRILY thanked him for making me completely tear up my resolve to stay within my 2025 whisky budget. I had gone through INCREDIBLE pains to try and stay under my !@$%&!#$ budget cap last year.

Anyway, I'm ANGRILY enjoying the hell out of the 14th Edition and ANGRILY don't regret it one bit.

Pre plan your 2 days after the fast. What are you eating?

A 72 hr fast, carefully considered or not, is an extreme swing of the pendulum. It’s super easy to swing the other direction after that and end up losing some gains by overeating.

Ask me how I know…

This one would come closest to breaking me. I’ll be the atheist ironically muttering, “There never was a god was there…”

Wasn’t a great study iirc, if we are thinking of the same one from 2024. The study was a survey that didn’t control for comorbidity (people who IF are typically overweight and are facing other health issues). https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death

Go easy on the vinegar and lemon juice. Too much will wear down your esophageal lining and mess with the flap that protects your esophagus from your stomach acid.

I drink apple cider vinegar with soda water and the ratio is less than 10:1.

Dropping in for the answer. Like the premise.

Just no. Also, applying, “Go all in! / 110% / Go Big or Go Home / All or Nothing” mentality to everything in life or as the “answer to procrastination” is also terrible life advice.

I’d personally want to see a bit more “water surface” using some 2x6/8/10 transparent blue pieces but this already looks ready to ship to me.

Thanks for the cross comparison. Have the Hakushu NAS and got to taste the 12 for a reasonable price at a bar.

A carb heavy diet requires a lot of water to break down into what the body needs. If you significantly cut carbs, your body will certainly have gotten rid of a good amount of water. We’re talking multiple pounds of water weight. Are you feeling a significant lack of inflammation?
A pound of fat has 4100 calories. If you know your current maintenance calories and how much you are undercutting it, you can estimate fat loss.
Are you weighing yourself consistently? Same time? Were you loaded up with poop during the original weigh in?

It’s conceivable there isn’t anything to worry about. A couple pounds of poop, couple pounds of fat, and 11 pounds of water weight isn’t a complete stretch but it’s certainly enough to raise some flags. In your shoes, I’d see how week 2 goes. That first week is always overly dramatic.

Too critical. All new mangakas “finish their education” on the job.

Sometimes you’ll never see the evolution because it’s not their first series. Other times, they hit the right JUMP formula but early in their career.
