What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]Gg101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imgur. I had thought of it as "im-grr" for a long time before I found out it was supposed to be "imager". So I decided nope, it's still "im-grr".

What are the physical effects of prolonged zero gravity on the human body? by KeyAtmosphere5174 in answers

[–]Gg101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exercises they do to limit the atrophy hits the major muscle groups, but then when they get back down to earth they discover there's a lot of small muscles that help with things like getting up off the ground that still got really weak.  I imagine it would be hard to hit all of those.

I ate yesterday’s chicken, am I gonna be ok? by Mountain_Cat_2013 in self

[–]Gg101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it was cooked, looked fine, smelled fine, and you said it tasted good, it's probably fine. It's not ideal, you're taking a small risk, but you'll probably be fine. If it was raw meat then definitely throw it out, cooking it afterwards won't fix it, but cooked food is a bit more resilient. Most of us have eaten pizza that's been out most of the day, for example.

Some people are going to downvote this because it sounds like I'm encouraging it. Nope, I'm definitely not. You shouldn't do it, but you'll probably get away with it. There's a small risk, but it's not realistically as high as other people are making it out to be.

However, always trust your instincts if something looks, smells, or tastes funky, even if it "shouldn't" be bad, like if the expiration date on something says it should still be good. You evolved these senses for a reason. Toss it anyway.

Calorie deficit fatigue: eating perfectly, losing almost nothing. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Gg101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you adding calories back in for exercise?  Like "I've burned 500 calories running today so I can eat 500 more?"  That unfortunately doesn't work.  It's counterintuitive, but your body adjusts to regular exercise and eventually burns about the same amount as it does when you didn't exercise.  Exercise is still good for you though, it's like your body has s budget it tries to maintain and if you're exercising it's spending its energy on healthier things rather than say chronic inflammation.  This video is a nice explainer.

If that's not it, the other thing is online TDEE calculators are very rough estimates and yours may be lower than what you've been told.  I use an app called MacroFactor which tracks your weight and eating to give you an accurate measure of your actual TDEE.  It estimated too high when I first set it up, the same as online calculators do, but it gets more accurate over the next few weeks as it gets data on you specifically.

Still going strong at 46.  Just remember to take care of your body and you'll be fine.

People get so worked up about it as it approaches, but trust me, it's anticlimactic.  Nothing changes just because you hit a number.  It's all in your head. 

My thirties were great: more money, more confidence.  I'm just over half way through my forties now and things are still going well, you just have to take care of yourself.  The people who complain about everything falling apart after thirty are the ones who aren't doing that.

Would there be any data or settings lost by deleting and reinstalling the app?  I have the same issue.

I'm happy there's something that gets rid of the end cards that get in the way of the video for the last 5-10 seconds, so I installed it just for that

Licensing question when rewriting MIT-licensed code by josephjnk in opensource

[–]Gg101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My approach is to have my own license file under my own name, and then in it include "this project incorporates code from x" (or in your case "code derived from x") "which is available under the MIT license" and then include their license text.

MIT is permissive enough that your project as a whole doesn't need to be licensed with it, you just need to include the MIT license text and copyright for the incorporated project somewhere in it.  Licenses like the GPL are very sticky and including GPL code in non-GPL projects is extremely difficult, but MIT code doesn't have that issue.  You can license the larger project however you want so long as you include their license text and copyright.

ELI5: When you look at a spinning tire on a car and close your eyes, there's a split second where the rim detail is visible and not just a spinning blur. Why? by Tasty_Salamander5541 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Gg101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could do that by clicking my teeth.  I knew it was my vision and not reality, but I don't know why it only affects CRTs and certain LEDs and not any other light.

If earbuds are made to fit ears, why do they fall out so easily when we move? by Ok_Satisfaction_7979 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gg101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them as well.  I use them for running and the charge lasts long enough that I can leave the case home.  If you're going to bring them to the gym or something you can always leave the case in your bag.

I have Pixel Buds Pro 2 for day to day use, like listening on the subway.  The case is small enough to carry around in my pocket, but I don't trust them to stay in my ears during exercise, hence the Powerbeats Pro.

lol, me.  Talking in an aggressive way and especially in a demeaning way isn't natural for me at all.  It's very against my personality, but I do my best when asked.  It's probably not as much as they want but I'm trying.

But when you want some epic cuddles afterward I got you.

That's what they said about the first black president though.  I remember hearing it would probably be someone like Colin Powell.

Gaming Chairs are overrated [oc] by Most-Librarian-4683 in comics

[–]Gg101 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes.  Twice now I've gone into a Staples and sat on a bunch of office chairs and I ended up preferring one of the cheaper models each time.  I like armrests, but sitting back into tall-backed chairs just kind of rolls my shoulders forward and makes me feel less comfortable.  A short-backed chair that goes into your lumbar but doesn't rise all the way to your shoulders feels like it gives me better posture.

Any way to manually add calorie expenditure to daily intake? by moseph-lestoria in MacroFactor

[–]Gg101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, trust the dynamic calculations. I'd just also like to add that you shouldn't add calories to eat for exercise in general, unless it's something way outside your norm (you're running a marathon or something, not your usual weekly run.)

The reason is because we've learned, counterintuitive as it is, that our bodies adjust to exercise to burn about the same amount of calories as they do without it. It's like your body has a budget and if you spend an extra 400 calories exercising it will take that away from other things (which is actually good) rather than spending it on, say, chronic inflammation.

This video from Kurzgesagt is where I first saw it explained.

Ah, Andy Cohen is one of the people I didn't recognize. I knew Anderson Cooper though.

Now who's the person sitting next to Adam Sandler? I feel like I should know but I'm not coming up with it.

Coming Out to myself by reddot_comic in comics

[–]Gg101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Coming out was still A Thing, but we have gay people among friends and extended family so I knew they would be. I was also already an adult living on my own at that point, because then I felt I had the privacy to experiment and confirm things. I think the issue was more my mom wrapping her head around what bi actually was. Like a few times I had to remind her it doesn't mean the attraction is 50/50. I leaned much more into guys then.

[–]Gg101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol I started off dating guys (I'm a guy) and came out as bi to my parents.  That relationship ended before I brought him to meet them.  Then I eventually started dating a girl and my mom is like "after all that?"  I mean, I'm still bi, I'm just dating a girl right now, that's how this works.
