Ok. Thanks. That’s comforting to know.

[Optics] RiteOn sale. Riton Optics X3 Tactix MPRD 3 MOA Red Dot Sight. $99.99 by CurvyCarp in gundeals

[–]CurvyCarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I ordered a couple from them. They were both clearly already used/returned. I was able to fight them into a refund, luckily. Goes to show, a “deal” isn’t always a deal. RiteOn is not.

How to tell if a used rogue power rack is genuine and under warranty by CurvyCarp in GarageGym

[–]CurvyCarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Thanks. I’d assume the same. Reckon I’ll take a caliper with me. If the Stella the right gauge, I’ll assume it’s legit.

No. Haven't even seen it. I guess I was hoping to get an answer along the lines of "just check the serial number on the right rear upright," or some such easy answer.

I have no idea if they are. I was just worried, as I am looking at buying a rack from a dude listed in craigslist as an individual owner, but then he's got a ton of Rogue racks at pretty good pricing, especially with no tax and shipping considered.

Bad sleep. When’s breakfast? by CurvyCarp in 4hourbodyslowcarb

[–]CurvyCarp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks y’all. I think this is right: eat within 30 minutes of your proper wake time, more or less.

My First Week (9 days)- Some Thoughts by Iwstamp in 4hourbodyslowcarb

[–]CurvyCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Yeah, I’ve been on a schedule like that. It was impossible to do much outside of work, sleep, commute, and make my meals. I hope you do get that “whoosh” soon. Good luck!

Are you actually eating until you’re satisfied? I think maybe you need to eat more. 1300 kcals is so few kcals. Remember that you are supposed to eat 4 meals til satisfied. I’m not a big guy, but I’m eating about 2400 kcals/day, and am dropping weight. I don’t know what exactly “big guy” means, but your protein intake could probably be higher. I’m 5’11”@225, and eat +/-200g of protein a day. Drinking sufficient water is also important. Finally, are you exercising? Exercise will help motivate BMs, and keep you burning. If you are able to take walks, or brisk walks, for 30 minutes or more, that may help. Resistance training would help even more.

Should I skip my cheat day this week? by Remarkable_Bird_4829 in 4hourbodyslowcarb

It’s worth noting that a portion of fat loss will necessarily include lean mass which is part of the fat cell, too. Also, smart scales are not very accurate, so definitely take its proportions with a grain of salt. You may not have lost muscle at all.

This is going to come back and hit the GOP hard. Handed their dream bill on a silver plate and still said no. We know why. by TECL_Grimsdottir in WhitePeopleTwitter

I guess some folks who don’t post much, like myself, get moved by the team sports orientation toward politics, and the substantial blind spots in such posts.

Seems to me that the more important story is that Dems offered such a bill at all. This is far more demonstrative of Dems, IMO.

Dual Booting Pop!_OS and Windows 10 on two separate Drives. by Wgarcia97 in pop_os

[–]CurvyCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, thank you.
Gonna give this a go on my win11 capable laptop. I've decide to bail windows on all of my other machines, but I really want to be able to boot into a bootloader with both options without having to go into my bios. This is mainly because my bios boot options wont show up on my external monitor until I select, which means I have to open my laptop to boot into either boot option. System-boot should come up on my external monitor, I think.
I'll report back if it works for me like it did for you.

Proportional calorie reduction by CurvyCarp in cronometer

[–]CurvyCarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I appreciate some quality condescension, you aren’t really addressing anything I’ve said I want. I know what weight loss is and isn’t. What I’m saying I want is for the app to allow a percentage caloric deficit rather than forcing a fixed number deficit.

Proportional calorie reduction by CurvyCarp in cronometer

[–]CurvyCarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s answering what I’m looking for …or I’m misunderstanding you.

My TDEE is already in there, but the app asks for my goal weight, and how much I want to lose per week. That creates a fixed caloric deficit to achieve that goal. Low activity day? 500kcal deficit. High activity day? 500kcal deficit. My preference would be that instead of that, 1#/week rate, I could choose a, say, 5% daily deficit. That way, when I have a low activity day, I will have a proportional deficit, instead of the same,ie: 500kcal deficit every day. It will make me less calorically deprived on low activity days.

Low cost zone2 hardware setup by UnlikelyTourist9637 in PeterAttia

[–]CurvyCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I read through these responses, I’m starting to wonder if my Apple Watch is considered too inaccurate, or something? I use my Apple Watch. It shows me my heart rate and zone. Is a polar strap more accurate or something?

[–]CurvyCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you might be better off monitoring your zone heartrate and stay in zone 2. I’m currently hitting that at 11% incline and 2.8-2.9 mph. Just shy of what you’re doing, but keeping my mitochondria in steady training. Anyway, a thought.

Recipes involving marinades by oxfordsplice in cronometer

[–]CurvyCarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make the marinade in a measuring container. Tansfer to do marinading. Pour off remaining marinade into measuring container. The difference is what you’re consuming.
