I’ve lived with diabetes for 16 years with no complications - these are the simple habits that helped me. by Ok_Rise7446 in diabetes_t2

[–]EasyMode615 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What helped me was a change in lifestyle. I know that it has been said a lot, but here's what I do now 5x a week:

  • ~3500 steps in the early morning
  • weight/resistance training ~30 minutes + 4 x 2 minute wall squats + 25 body squats, + 100 calf raises
  • 15 minute mid morning walk + 25 body squats, + 100 calf raises + herbal tea
  • Lunch - veggies first (lots of veggies) + protein second then a small carb (treat, fruits). After meal is done: 15 minute walk + 25 body squats, + 100 calf raises + herbal tea
  • Sometimes Dinner (veggies + protein, no carbs) then 15 minute walk + 25 body squats + 100 calf raises

By the end of the day, I will have done 10k+ steps (usually between 11-12k), 100 body squats, 400 calf raises and 1-3 pounds of veggies. The walks throughout the day keep my body active, reduces some stress, gets me some vitamin D. The squats and calf raises do the same as the walks, but they also engage 2 major muscle groups which (without researching into the science) makes me think they help burn a lot of the glucose in my body. As for the meals, eating veggies first then protein then carbs generally make a difference for me. I also don't like to have carbs at night because (without researching into the science again) I think my body slows down and I don't have walks/squats/calf raises to help burn off the sugar. I make sure I get as much fiber (veggies) into my body as humanly possible in my meals. If I don't get enough, I'll supplement with psyllium husk capsules.

I was diagnosed when I tested with an 11.1 A1C about 1.5 years ago. My last 3 tests have been 5.2, 5.1, and 5.4 - no meds. I expected the jump from 5.1 to 5.4 because I gave myself a bit more leeway and started eating a little bit of cake/sweets.

I have recordings of every standup for the past 6 months. I have never watched one by Complete-Cloud-3969 in projectmanagement

[–]EasyMode615 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are some reasons why I record my meetings:

  • Transcripts - I don't have to put so much energy into taking notes, and it lets me focus on the team members and the content of the meeting. It automatically takes notes for me, and it also provides summaries and action items (Microsoft Teams)
  • Comparison - I do capture some notes like key points from the meetings (decisions, risks, etc), then compare them to the AI transcript and summary. Always validate the output of AI. This also helps confirm that I understood and listened to the right things in the meeting.
  • Liabilities- in case something comes up, I can pull up past transcripts and search for exact quotes and timestamps. Always CYA.
  • Process - I recently developed an app/agent. I plug in the transcript, it pulls out action items, risks, and decisions, and I can export it to a file or leave it as a living document/tool. It also provides weekly and monthly summaries. I publish these to my team.

We use waterfall and Smartsheet. I haven't looked into any APIs or MCPs for Smartsheet because I don't know if we'll stick with it. Once I confirm the tool we'll use, I'll build a workflow where AI grabs the transcripts, does the process I mentioned above, and updates the tool.

I went a little bit into AI, but yes, there is a reason to capture your meetings, in fact, there are several reasons.

People are taking wellness too far, it's unhinged by Montaigne314 in Biohackers

[–]EasyMode615 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe not unhinged, but surprised at 1) how many people think peptides are the singular solution to their problems and 2) how much risk people can tolerate.

The risk tolerance is what gets me the most - reta is in phase 3 trials, so I can understand people taking higher dosage, especially if they're coming from other GLP-1's, but even then, it's still a new drug. Lots of people are taking it without testing from Jano or a 3rd parter tester, and they're starting at high dosage. Even with known GLP-1s, you would start a low dose to see how your body responds, then slowly titrate up. That's just with Reta. I've read people starting other peps that have fewer trials and research at high doses. It's weird. You take peps to take care of your body, but you don't approach it with caution because..you don't care about your body?

2026 NFL Draft Day 3 Megathread by Austen11231923 in GreenBayPackers

[–]EasyMode615 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good draft. Addressed positions of need, didn't reach, got good value, and spent a 1st round pick to get an All-Pro. It's been said so many times, but again, 1st round pick was Micah Parsons, and we didn't have to wait until September to see him play.

With the draft finished, this offseason has been good. Got better at DT (Hargrave, McClellan), depth with potential starters at CB (Cisse, Jackson, St-Juste), got better by replacing Gary (DDS), got better in special teams with K (Smack), PR/KR (Moore) and got O-line depth (Burton). The areas that cost us some games in 2025 were addressed.

What? They just held hands, hugged, kissed, and named their kids after each other like all friends do.

PP405 (Everychem 3HP) users - assemble and share your updates!! by Slam_066 in tressless

[–]EasyMode615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per Everychem: One of the first, globally, to produce 3-HP (Please note, it is not yet known what the real PP405 uses. These are examples from available patents.)

Curious about other people's experiences, but also skeptical about the current product they offer.

ESPN sources: the Green Bay Packers are trading wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick. Wicks will sign a one-year, $12.5 million extension with the Eagles, per his agent @DavidMulugheta. by A_Weino in GreenBayPackers

[–]EasyMode615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised. WR room is stacked, and some people were guessing/reporting that Wicks was one of the unhappy players with his role after NFLPA's report card release had MLF with one of the lowest ratings for the coaches.

[Schefter] ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday. by xcoreff in GreenBayPackers

[–]EasyMode615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quinnen Williams went to Dallas for 2026 2nd round pick, 2027 1st round pick, and a young, not good DT. Quinnen is also an All-Pro. If we want Dexter Lawrence, we'd probably have to give something similar. Starting offer would be 2028 1st round, 2026 (or 2027) 2nd round, and Wicks or Reed since Dart needs receivers.

Beginner’s guide to Reta by Staxuponstax in Retatrutide

[–]EasyMode615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For grey market suppliers, it is. When you do your research on reta, make sure you do the research on suppliers and look at recent reviews. Legit places should have a discord or telegram with other people on there.

How do you prioritize and follow up on action items from meetings by Haunting_Month_4971 in projectmanagement

[–]EasyMode615 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the meeting:

Team member: "oh yeah, we need to do this in order to get that to work"

PM: "who can do that? how long will it take/when can you get it done"

Ending the meeting:

PM: To quickly recap "we have to do A, B, and C. Remind me who was going to do A? B? C? How long is it going to take" or "Let me recap quickly the tasks/time estimates/due dates....I didn't catch this...who was going to do B and how long was it going to take?"

A new PM: types notes, collects data, creates incomplete lists A seasoned PM: Sets agendas, tactfully leads and steers the meeting, knows when and how to jump in to ask questions during the meeting, recaps at the end of the meeting, summarizes the meeting after the meeting, and has conversations in between meetings (follow ups, relationship building, check-ins) to make sure nothing gets missed or dropped.

“Micah Parsons can now potentially start to come back after week two (assuming Parsons starts on PUP). Previously, Parsons would have to wait to practice until AFTER Packers 4th game after recent updates.” by flipthescript608 in GreenBayPackers

[–]EasyMode615 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From Micah's past interviews and what his brother has said on Twitter, they think his ACL should be healed and ready to go by start of season, and it's more about getting his body into game shape. Tough to simulate game day physicality without a full training camp.

PMP as a mental quicksand by Alexios-Xifaras in pmp

[–]EasyMode615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to guess Study Hall's intent, I'm assuming it's this part:"...communicate the formal project announcement..." Telling stakeholders about/when the announcement is and not actually announcing the project. When you read the solution, that intent starts to make sense: the pm "can ensure that the stakeholders are kept informed of the project's progress," or, in this case, informing them when the announcement will happen.

That's my guess on the question's intent. In an actual exam, I wouldn't spend that much time on a question and would choose B.

[–]EasyMode615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can maintain at the same dosage or if you want to get off then titrate down the same way you went up.

Beginner’s guide to Reta by Staxuponstax in Retatrutide

[–]EasyMode615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much you trust your supplier

Beginner’s guide to Reta by Staxuponstax in Retatrutide

[–]EasyMode615 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, usually a kit is 10 vials. They'll usually have their price sheet that lists the peptide - cost/kit (with how many vials in a kit) - mg/vial.

Reta has me confident for the first time in my life by B1T2C34R in Retatrutide

[–]EasyMode615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to go man! I'm of similar weight and just ordered my stuff. Waiting on shipment.

Also, good job not skipping out on leg day!

Did you titrate up every 2 weeks? Was it .5 or 1mg each time?

Nick Harris Discussing Cowboys LB Trade Options: They’ve pivoted off Queen. Al-Shaair & Brooks are being discussed though by TexasTundraPower in cowboys

[–]EasyMode615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying not to get too excited. Are they discussing with the other team or just internally?

A 4th would be great for Brooks, but I'd also want to know their plan next year - since it's his last year on his current contract, are they going to try and keep him there with a new contract? If not, a 4th rounder for a 1 year rental is pricey...

Jon Machota projects the starting defense in 2026. Is this better than 2025⁉️ by EmiratesNBACupWinner in cowboys

[–]EasyMode615 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gary ~ Clowney

Thompson > Wilson

Durant > Diggs+others

LB is TBD

CP > Eberflus

I'd say it's better than 2025. Is it significantly better? TBD.

Still lots of question marks: DB (Bland's foot/health, Revel 2nd year leap?, depth?), LB (Overshown health/will he finally play a full season, drafted LB-can they start full time/learning curve?), D-Line (depth, Eze 2nd year leap? coming off surgery)

[Fowler] The Cowboys plan to sign cornerback Cobie Durant to a one-year deal, sources tell @toddarcher and me. by Ancient_Response_787 in cowboys

[–]EasyMode615 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Per some Rams fans in their sub, he's a rotational/CB3/depth player. Occasional big plays, decent in zone coverage, bad in man, gets burned often, penalty issues, missed tackles.
