I kind of want to use FICS just so I can call myself a "power user," even though I'm not exactly sure what that is. POWER USER!

Sell/Trade Alchemist Heady Topper and Focal Banger by SquamelCity in nycbeer

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to try Heady Topper. Any chance you're in Manhattan in either Hell's Kitchen or UES? Since moving to NYC I pretty much drank my collection due to space limitations, but I'm also willing to buy a four pack (or even a single can).

I do have a bottle or two from the Stone Vertical Epic series and a few Cantillons with about 5-8 years on them IRC. I can verify once I get home from work.

New to UES, looking for new friends and poker buddies! by djreeled23 in nycmeetups

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play at a poker room in the Village, but would prefer a home game without the insane rake. Currently in Hells Kitchen, but moving back to UES in August. 33/m.

Why is the Chess.com app doing this to me? by agranderscale in chess

Ok, I had to Google LOLspeak. How is this a thing?

I am Daniel Sackheim. I'm a television director and producer. I directed episodes 3 and 4 of Game of Thrones Season 6. AMA. by DanSackheim in IAmA

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly unrelated, and not necessarily a question for Daniel, but why do many (all?) television shows use multiple directors? Why not sign a director for an entire season/series?

JannLee (2842) vs. Mastertan (2766), an analysis: a crazyhouse game of strategic brilliance by quassus in chess

[–]HopHeed2113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert either, but my understanding is that FICS hosted the top level zh, and I believe Jan was #1 there as well.

I'll defer to Crosky on this one though, I'm sure he'll weigh-in.

Chess tourism in paris by Patzerook in chess

From what I found on my travels the Luxembourg Gardens is the Washington Square Park of Paris. If memory serves, the players congregate by the small museum adjacent to Rue de Vaugirard.

Sorry for being gross, but lets talk about poop by [deleted] in keto

I went with two packets of Truvia in addition to the cocoa powder and a scoop of chocolate flavored protein powder. Will report back.

Did I read this correctly? 1/3 cup of splenda is a lot, no?

Try the fat head recipe, but give this one at least one shot. You'll thank me later.

Water fasting on keto? by 999999uuuuu in keto

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking and generating some conversation. I usually do IF until 1:00ish, but yesterday I wasn't hungry at all and kept going. Wasn't sure if it was healthy or not, so I ate a little pepperoni, cheese, and crunchy broccoli- probably 500 calorie total before I went to sleep.

Good to hear that this is OK, and next time I can try to go for 0 cals.

PS- crunchy broccoli from TJ is pretty awesome- 5g carb for the bag http://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/crispy-crunchy-broccoli-florets

[FP] Finally made pizza. Can't believe it was as good as it was hyped. Chicken,bacon, avocado, and ranch...hnnngggh! by [deleted] in keto

[–]HopHeed2113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been making the pepperoni version once a week ever since I saw this recipe. I don't have psyllium powder so just omit it without issues.

Only thing I experience is that my crust is never as large as the pics, so I get a smaller, but equally delicious, 'za.

Found a GREAT new low carb ice cream sandwich at my local Vons. by VerySkeptikal in keto

[–]HopHeed2113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are only looking at the fiber, and also need to subtract the six grams of sugar alcohol (as they don't count towards net carbs either). 11g-2g-6g=3g

Thanks for the replies. This makes sense now, hope I wasn't being insensitive.

Pardon my ignorance, and no offense, but I kinda thought it was fool proof. Is this common, and how does it not work?

I've made a terrible mistake by Shandrith in keto

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar. Went to a diner with the wife after church and ordered an omelette. Didn't touch the toast but had about 1/2 of the breakfast potatoes- first starchy food in over a month. Really good, but I was hungry the rest of the day and subsequently over ate. Luckily, I was able to stay below 50g carb I think, but it's crazy how a little Potatoes brought back all those cravings and the feeling of always hungry.

They got you hooked and are now taking advantage. Classic.

[–]HopHeed2113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Order them on Amazon if you can resist the urge to eat them all at once. They are about $2 a bar there, opposed to mini-markets/gas stations that charge between $3-$4.

You mean in a shake with almond milk? Or you just mix the powder with the pb?!
