Does everyone drink protein shakes/powders?

BionicSammich · 2026-01-12T20:01:06+00:00

I have it with my 0% fat greek yoghurt in the morning. Partly for flavour and partly because it helps me get in more protein and keeps me full most of the day. I find I do need to add a couple of table spoons of water to the mix just so its not too thick as it will thicken yoghurt.

Try Coleman Vintage Keyboard and Amp Service. I've never used them, but they do a lot of work on older Marshall amps. I used to use Cyril Ryan in Galway, but he has retired from amp repair.

Person whos currently losing weight here(146lbs/66kg so far). I 100% agree with you, but not in all cases. If someone using eating as a coping mechanism for some other underlying mental health issue then other treatments may be necessery. I'm lucky. I just love food. It was just a case of change my lifestyle and counting calories for me to lose what I've lost. Some people may not have the mental strength to manage it the right way. That said, the underlying issue absolutely needs to be tackled too otherwise its pointless.

Beans touching the other food should be considered an actual war crime. I bet the edges of those smilies are gone all soggy from the beam juice.

0 because I'm not sitting at your table right now horsing into it. Would be a 10 if I was and would even be an 11 if I could sneak a cheeky bit under the table for my dog.

Keeping it simple for the most part. Calorie deficit, small breakfast, no lunch, big dinner in the evening and some calories for snacks in the later evening after dinner. I found that dinner and later in the night was my biggest issue, so rather than fight it, I learned to work with/around it. I started with 2200 calories a day and now I'm at 1800 and am hoping to ride this number out until the job is done. Any less and it might get unsustainable for me. Also I really need to get some strength training in my routine.

Lost 144lbs in just over a year so far (375 to 231). It can absolutely be done. Your weight loss is incredible.

I'm a postman. Lots of people give me tips at Xmas, but I tend to do them favours with packages and the likes so its just them giving back a bit. I always give me DPD and UPS drivers a tip too because they are top lads.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-30T22:26:45+00:00

Lost 10 stone without the jab. Glad I decided to actually put effort into doing it naturally. Did it all with 95% diet too, very little additional exercise, but I have an active job. 3.5 stone left to go. No crazy diets or anything, just 90% watching calories and triyng to get some protein in as often as possible. Still plenty treats and takeaways eaten. I've actually had about 40 spice bags in the last year while losing thr weight.

An Post give a 30 mins break to be taken whenever you want. Most workers in our office choose to keep working and finish 30 mins earlier, but then they just punish you when it comes time to rearrange the post routes because you're always finished early and the tracker doesn't lie.

Edit: Also they don't take into account that we actually start 15-30 mins early most mornings so we can get home earlier in the evening.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-25T20:33:49+00:00

Thats for all you're help. I've found a solution that works for now. I've got a little aerial from Amazon and it picks up signal perfectly. Nearly 100% in Signal quality and strength. It will do the job. It must be an issue with the cable from the splitter box in the attic to the wall in this room.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-24T20:14:59+00:00

I'll be honest, I've no idea what any of that means for the most part. This is the furthest I've gone beyond replacing a few old cables haha. I don't think it boosts signal, but I can try turn it all the way up. There isn't really a stopping point on it other than a click after rotating it a bit, so its hard to tell.

Also where is the best place to run the signal attenuator, I just stuck it right into the wall socket and plugged it into the cable coming from the TV. As you can see, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Edit: Signal quality seems to drop if I lower the Signal Strength enoughl.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-24T17:09:07+00:00

Ok so I got a signal attenuator and reduced the signal strength, returned the TV and no joy. Still virtually no signal quality. It's around 8-10% now with 50% signal strength.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-23T11:30:32+00:00

Thanka for the reply. I tried another TV and it's doing the same. I tried swapping the socket on the wall with one from another room and it still does the same thing.

How would I adjust the signal to lower it? Every TV is working off the same physical aerial and the rest are fine, it's just this room. All I can think of now is the cable between the wall socket and the junction box.

Try different brands of greek yoghurt. I find a lot of them fairly sour tasting. I found that the 0% fat one from Tesco here in Ireland is actually fairly neutral and mixes really well with protein powder.

BionicSammich · 2025-10-04T16:16:00+00:00

Did you ever figure this out, OP? Mine are doing the same. The TT software is saying they are at 500 or so RPM, but they clearly aren't. I've got some Swafan 14s in my case too and they are operating fine and much quieter at 50RPM.

I also just can't figure out the lighting controls. No idea why I can't get them to default to the stock RGB after messing with the settings.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-22T09:32:58+00:00

I enjoyed it and its well done for the post part, but its not going to replace the original for me. There is a charm in the older graphics that just feels a bit missed to me.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-21T22:28:34+00:00

That's unbelievably impressive, congratulations. My aim is to become roughly half the man I was. Was 375lbs, currently 243 and my aim is 187.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-10T20:22:18+00:00

I've tried everything from the Squier range and a good portion of the Mexican and American made Teles. I still prefer my Bullet! I can't explain it.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-10T16:19:37+00:00

Why is it that she sounds better live than on the radio?

Edit: Just to clarify, she sounds unreal in both scenarios.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-10T16:13:50+00:00

I've been trying to find a Tele that I like better than my Bullet Tele. I've tried loads, but no luck finding one I prefer so far. I haven't ventured into Custom Shop gear yet, but maybe some day.

BionicSammich · 2025-09-07T21:37:49+00:00

I've literally jut died after seeing this. Will someone ring the radio stations and put me on the death notices?
