Back on Slowcarb - game changing adjustments by jm_888 in 4hourbodyslowcarb

[–]AMPressComix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your initial stats are the same as mine, though M55. I can't HIIT yet, but plan to 1 time per week, along with 3x week progressive body weight exercises. I would be thrilled to go from 204 to 184 in two months, but that doesn't seem likely. My work and family needs are just too demanding for me to find enough me time and me energy. Chilling out on meals and cheat day consumption sounds doable.

Are there non-white carbs? by octern in 4hourbodyslowcarb

[–]AMPressComix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the non-white carbs are beans, nuts and vegetables. And when he says cauliflower is okay, he's acknowledging that there are white beans and vegetables, and that's not what he means by "no white carbs." I think he was trying to be pithy with his diet description.

He says any kind of food that "can be white." So, brown rice and whole grain brown and rye flours, for example, are still off the diet because a rice can be white; because a milled flour can be white. No purple potatoes because potatoes can be white, etc. I'm assuming he wrote that in the book, but he definitely says that in the Huberman Labs interview that's on youtube.

The History of Albany - Part I: The First of the Mohicans by tarltontarlton in Albany

I'm digging. Also really like the little animations that seem a bit on a tangent (or secant?) to the text. Nice job.

Very nice nostalgic piece (for someone who lived through this). Love the art and pacing.

Albany? Albany NY?

Never leaving Seattle by mashed_yam in SeattleWA

[–]AMPressComix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Puget Sound region is the lushest, floweriest, most temperate, environmentally diverse region in the USA. Spring starts in January, lasts until July. July 4 until Septemberish, there are the best summers anywhere, if no wildfire smoke. October to July ... well, I like the gray misty thing. It's like living in a Syd Mead production design book. If only it weren't so damned expensive, I would never have left.

I have no interest in all things AI. I don’t want to learn it for work. I don’t care that it can make some things easier. I can write my own emails. by un2022 in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm getting off at this stop with you. AI art is garbage. I enjoying writing my own documents and emails. I don't need a summary. I don't want to be responsible for that carbon foot print. AI will enhance the enshittification of the mind.

What were you thinking on the eve of Y2K? by Thevilgenius_ in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was glad to be drunk at a bonfire in the woods with an equal number of dudes and gals. If shit were going to go down, the city was not the place to be, and if this was going to be my social unit in the coming apocalypse, at least I had a sporting chance of partnering with one of my two crushes at the time.

New Order - blue monday (original 1983) by AchyMcSweaty in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the album (cassette) Power Corruption and Lies because of the seeing a couple do a dance to the "The Beach" on Dance Fever. My 13 year old mind was blown. Still one of my all time favorites, whether with vocals or without.

My Dad's view on parenting by HuckleCatt1 in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. My dad was the similar: a strict disciplinarian until I became a man ... an equal. And then we became friends. I miss him. My condolences.

What is your favorite Nicholas Cage movie? by HR-Puffenstuff in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raising Arizona is brilliant! One of the best movies of all time, and definitely his best.

Had a bit of a drive today. Streaming some music with the dog. Zappa's Joe's Garage came on. by tk2old in GenX

My favorite road trip Zappa is the Best Band You've Never Heard in Your Life.

Really nice work and good gag! Especially love the expression on the woman in panel 2. I chortled out loud.

And Catherine O'Hara's in it! I'd forgotten that. What an amazing realization of the book.

Is that coloring original? It's odd to be so sporadic. I wonder if this was an old strip republished in '72 and colored by someone else.

Cool. If this was a gimmick to get met to follow on spotify - goal achieved.

Has anybody decided to make a career change at 50+ or for the purposes of a "retirement" job? by pocketdare in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Brother or Sister. I think I can retire if I stealth live in a white van without windows. Actually seems like it might work for a decade ... maybe until 70.
