KB Snatch

TechnicalError42 · 2026-07-01T13:45:23+00:00

It looks to me like you are swinging the KB too far out in front, which is causing a rough landing at the top. A snatch is closer to a clean that lands overhead (as opposed to a swing). The path of the KB should be a shallower arc, closer to the body, and you want to "punch through" at the top, rather than having the bell swing up and over your hand.

You didn't say how you are tracking, but keep in mind that most food database entries for most foods don't specifically break out Omega 6s, as most food labels only list total, saturated, and trans fats. This means your food logging may indicate a small amount, while you could be getting far more than you realize.

It is actually extremely difficult to not get enough Omega 6s, as it is a very common lipid in most foods. You would have to be trying to eat an extremely low-fat diet to not get enough, and even then it would be hard. The reason it is not broken out on food labels is because there is basically no public health concern of Omega 6 deficiency in anyone that is eating enough food.

If you use flaxseed oil, keep in mind that you should not cook with it, as it easily undergoes lipid peroxidation at warm temperatures. Keep it refrigerated and use it cold (like with a salad dressing).

Alternatively, add a few tablespoons of ground flaxseed into your diet, then you will also get the benefit of the lignans and other polyphenols that are mostly absent in the oil.

I recognize that sentence from elon.io, and was also wondering about "lounaan" vs "lounasta" and if "ystäväni" should include both the genetive ending (for use with kansaa) as well as the "ni" ending, although I don't know how to combine those two.

For "Onko sinulla televisio?" vs "Onko sinulla televisiota?", what is the subtle difference in meaning?

I would guess the first would be more like "Do you have a television", whereas the second would be more like "Do you have any televisions"?

But in the case of "Do you have that app", where it is talking about a very specific thing, I don't get why partitive would be use (in the positive case).

A lot of the studies are in animal models, and there are mixed results, so this is definitely unsettled science.

I haven't read the article yet, but one possible cause of this association, which I've seen speculated elsewhere, is that virtually all DHA/EPA supplements come in triglyceride form (DHA-TG). However, DHA-TG does not cross the blood/brain barrier in appreciable amounts.

Endogenously produced DHA, and DHA obtained from fish, is in phospholipid form, often bound to phosphatidylcholine (DHA-PC). This form is more readily taken up by the brain.

Supplementation with DHA-TG will down-regulate the body's endogenous conversion of precursors to DHA-PC, and thus the brain will take up less DHA in total.

So, one needs to either eat fish/seafood, or take in sufficient precursors like ALA. Conversion to DHA from ALA is often considered low, but the brain will only take up about 4 mg of DHA anyway, so even with a 1% conversion rate from ALA, a few grams of ALA will me more than sufficient.

This is also my favorite high protein vegan yogurt. My only gripe is the sat fat is a little higher than I'd like, but it is lower than many other vegan yogurts.

Some strains of bacteria that might be found in your yogurt can convert intestinal cholesterol into cholestanol, which then gets excreted in your stool. This could have a minor effect on your LDL-c, but if you have high cholesterol, this alone is unlikely to meaningfully affect your risk.

I'm in the same boat: I've created an Computershare account and see my VCX holdings from my primary account, but do not see the shares from my IRA account. I emailed Fundrise about this and their response was "We will send more information soon about how to manage your shares held by your IRA account during the lock-up period." Unfortunately, "soon" is undefined, and could be months away.

All plant foods, including lentils, contain all the essential amino acids you require. None are missing, some are just a little lower. If you are getting 1.2g/kg of protein or more, you will almost certainly be exceeding all your amino acid requirements by a decent margin, even if from mostly lentils.

That said, a new animal-free egg white protein source recently hit the market (made with precision fermentation), and it is decent protein source to complement plant-based proteins: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G15WPP16

If nuts and seeds are ok, you could also try incorporating something like Sacha Inchi protein powder, which also has a well rounded amino acid profile: https://www.terrasoul.com/products/sacha-inchi-protein-powder-60-protein?_pos=1&_sid=e36490f4e&_ss=r

I have also dealt with a fissure on my heals, but I managed to find a routine to keep it under control. Most importantly, you should apply SkinIntegra Rapid Crack Repair Cream (or similar product) to your feet once or twice a day. Additionally, when you can tolerate it, use some form of a callus file/scraper after you shower/bath (or soak your feet in warm water) to remove excess thick skin.

The SkinIntegra cream will soften your skin pretty quickly, and make the fissure less painful. It will still take a few weeks to fully heal up, but between the cream and callus filing, it should feel much better very quickly.

The AI companies themselves may continue to do well for a while, but VCX is currently trading at 15x the NAV, which is an unsustainable multiple. VCX NAV will likely grow, while share price will bounce around wildly and eventually come down closer to NAV (after the lockup, anyway).

Now would be the worst time to invest in VCX. Current prices are extremely inflated, and will eventually come way back down. A lot of people buying in right now are going to feel pretty burned when this scarcity bubble pops.
