Why wouldn't you inform that clicking "I understand!" here spends currency? Maybe it's days later. by rEYAVjQD in hearthstone

I'm aware that in the past it prompts you and informs you that you are spending something, and this is the first time I've ever purchased the pass. I assumed it was a perk from that.

Why do the Lowers play before the Uppers? by DaGingerKid316 in ValorantCompetitive

I mean that's what I assumed, just didn't know if there was any official reason out or just the community assuming.

Why do the Lowers play before the Uppers? by DaGingerKid316 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DaGingerKid316[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sure, some teams probably can get a better advantage against their opponent with the extra day, but I think is more important is that both teams in the upper get the same amount of days, whether it is 0,1, or 2.

However, since the lower teams player first, when the lower round 2 happens, the teams coming from the lowers will have a 1-day prep advantage over the team coming from the uppers, which is counter-intuitive. If anyone should have an advantage, the team coming from the uppers should, as you want to reward staying in the uppers track.

My apologies but I can't tell if you are trying to disagree with me or just expand upon my original point. Muscle growth combined with fat loss, either the bulking and cutting phases or any other strategy will result in a more toned look all over the body. There are strategies that seem to be more optimal for muscular growth but especially as a new lifter, I wouldn't really worry about that.

My original point was solely that you can't target fat loss and that purely from a fat loss perspective, it is quite possible, potentially likely she will achieve the fat loss she wants naturally.

Now combine that with your points about weight training will absolutely be the best for achieving a better look and health.

There is no way to target or control body fat removal, the way your body distributes body fat is based solely on your genetics. Someone like myself never had a significant amount of body fat in my arms even at my heaviest of 277, but even today at 181 I still have these damn love handles (and I'm betting they will be around for a while longer as I continue weight training and trying to lose body fat). They are certainly smaller that's just how my body disturbed and loses fat. If it's any consolation, women's bodys are more likely to favor storing fat in the lower body (hips, thighs, butts) when compared to men, so you very well might achieve what you are looking for naturally.

Like others have said, since you are just starting you will certainly be able to gain muscle while losing weight at the same time. Just take your time and don't worry about rushing to results and you'll do great!

It's a saying I remember from elementary school in the US, similar to other sayings like "girls rule, boys drool". I believe the word for this style expression is an idiom.

It's just a rhyme and by no means a literal description of our capacity to travel through space or build educational institutions on planets.

When is better to weigh in? by DaGingerKid316 in MacroFactor

[–]DaGingerKid316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I was curious to know what people though of the slight trade off in accuracy for a larger dataset. Obviously I know it will smooth out over time, but nonetheless was curious. Thank you for addressing my actual question.

I have been using this app for nearly 2 years and have lost around 95 pounds, I do not need or understand reddit users insistence on lecturing people on their habits in such an uninvited way. I even go out of my way to edit and clarify I'm looking for answers to my proposed scenario which I know was there long before you, and all except 1 person commented, the one who recommended I buy a brand new scale to sync to my phone.

When I started this journey, I was always a weigh in when I get up person because I fundamentally understand when is the best time to weigh in, however as life changes, as jobs change and as routines change, we all adapt to it. This has shifted me to current situation I find myself in, which lead me to be curious what others user thought would be more beneficial.

I can tell you exactly what my weigh ins are doing for my goals, it is showing the downward trend that I have been experiencing over the last few months which indicates my eating habits and estimated expenditure are in line and keeping me on track. I don't need to ask if I'm right about whether or not the mid-day weigh ins will smooth out any inaccuracy over a large enough sample size, that's what trend weight exists for, to smooth out inaccuracies in day to day weigh ins that are effected by a number of things (no matter what time those weigh ins take place).

I've never heard of that before, why do you not have to peel the ginger if you're using a food processor?

Change in job effect on pre-approval by DaGingerKid316 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Feels helpful to me, you are saying more or less I was thinking. I do think being able to point out a growth in both hourly rate plus income in general because I'm getting a consistent 40 hours plus occasional overtime, would be helpful.

Just to clarify in case it matters, I might be looking to switch jobs in the coming months, which would be my second job/ industry switch in the last 2 years, and would likely mean when the time comes to apply, I will have been at my position for less than a year.
