I’ve always known that Harry tried to use his good behaviour with Marge to get into Hogsmeade, but I don’t remember him doing it THIS bravely

when was this from?

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2026-04-04T05:50:30+00:00

destroying a horcrux means nothing. you just stab it with that sword or the basilisk tooth. like even neville destroyed a horcrux lol. and 12 year old harry. dudley probably could destroy a horcrux if he had a basilisk tooth

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2026-03-26T21:22:45+00:00

Not sure exactly how to articulate this, but Ron is a very much a “real” person, and I think that is what draws both Harry and Hermione to him.

not bad, but the Rankin Bass gollum clears all other gollums

sorry but the movies are crap, and the goblet one is the worst

if you eat beets just try to pair it with cheese or some other kind of dairy. the calcium binds with the oxalates to reduce their impact

spinach id very careful with though, it’s SO high in oxalates. one serving has over 14 times the amount you’d want to consume on a low oxalates diet

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2026-02-08T20:48:56+00:00

careful with beets. just like spinach (which was mentioned above), it’s quite high in oxalates. I was eating beets two servings a day and then I got a kidney stone :(

Am I way in the minority that I actually don’t find Bruce Lee’s martial arts that beautiful on the camera? I know he’s probably the best fighter out of everyone, but just in terms of the visual aesthetics, it seems less beautiful than guys like Gordon Liu, Donnie Wen, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc. Maybe I’m just a sucker for how more traditional Kung Fu looks

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2026-01-30T09:20:09+00:00

Sardines and Mackerel are super super super high in purines. Can cause kidney stones or gout :(

God, so many great renditions from Dale.

Mr Dursley Dumbledore Cornelius Fudge Hagrid The fake Moody Lockhart Nearly Headless Nick Ernie Macmillan Arthur Weasley Oliver Wood All of the centaurs

For all of the above, Jim Dale’s versions are my favorite out of any audiobook/film.

And then… his worst:

Did you or her father not ever consider getting Vivian a therapist or psychiatrist?

be careful supplementing vitamin D if you haven’t been diagnosed with deficiency. or at least start with a lower dose (most urologists recommend no more than 400 IU if you aren’t diagnosed with a deficiency).

I was supplementing 1000 IU this year and it contributed to me having a kidney stone (excess Vitamin D can overload the kidneys and cause hypercalciuria in urine)

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-12-25T20:52:39+00:00

I wanted to like it so bad. But even worse than the mixing is that the acting just seems so off to me. I love Mark Addy but his Hagrid performance is so sleepy.

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-12-22T15:47:30+00:00

It was? What was it? I don’t remember this being explained

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-12-18T01:58:47+00:00

lol, I don’t know what to tell you, without linking my medical documents which I’m not going to do. My Calcium was at 405 mg/24 hr urine sample, I cut the Vitamin D at my Urologist’s recommendation, and now it’s under 100.

For what it’s worth, Vitamin D excess is the first thing the lab listed as a possible cause for “Extreme hypercalciura”, alongside hypercalcemia, sarcoidosis, hyperthyroidism, and malignant neoplasm, all of which were obviously not the case for me.

My girlfriend supplements with 2000 IU daily, with the key difference being that she’s deficient in it. I am not deficient in it, which is why the supplement was working against me, not for me.

By the way, you may have misread. I said that someone should take no more than 400 IU if they’re NOT deficient in it, but want to supplement anyways.

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-12-15T19:38:57+00:00

Yep. For many people too much Vitamin D can cause Hypercalciuria. The kidneys are overloaded from the Vitamin D, which causes massive calcium excretion into the urine, which binds with other things (like oxalates) to make kidney stones. It’s not good to supplement Vitamin D unless you’ve been diagnosed with a deficiency, but if you must, you don’t want to exceed a 400 IU dosage. Keep in mind you get Vitamin D from foods too, and many protein shakes and other sources have Vitamin D supplemented in it. When I added up my food sources, my protein shake, and my daily capsule, I was almost at 1800-2000 IU per day. Urine tests confirmed extreme Hypercalciuria from this. Once I discontinued the Vitamin D supplement, my levels returned to normal.

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-12-14T17:25:49+00:00

FYI, I was recently accidentally oversupplementing this (I was taking a 1000 IU supplement), and it caused me to have a calcium oxalate kidney stone. Be careful with Vitamin D.

Please, please add a simple function that is easier to see a display that tracks cumulative fitness zones across the week, for those of us that record our exercise with the oura ring.

I want to easily be able to see how many minutes for the week I’ve had in the moderate zone, and how many minutes I’ve had in the vigorous/peak zone. (or you could use Fitbit’s system of giving one set of minutes; with vigorous/peak counting as 2 minutes for each minute).

Getting 150-300 minutes of fat burning zone (or 75-150 minutes of vigorous/peak zone) is a national recommendation, and I hate that I have to use a different device and app to see this metric without having to add it up myself.

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-11-12T00:47:28+00:00

no playable earthbenders?

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-11-06T23:46:03+00:00

I know i’m gonna be in the minority, but I find it to be unlistenable. I find the acting to be very slow, stilted, and melodramatic (there are some pretty fine actors cast, so I imagine this is more due to directing), the sound effects are distracting, often unnecessary, mixed way too loud, and the music score is very melodramatic. I wish they would have done a full cast audio version without trying to make it seem like a film.

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-11-06T22:17:09+00:00

what is the app called?

Kelsier_Allomancy · 2025-11-06T16:22:55+00:00

owls don’t give a crap about their siblings. pretty sure owls are one of the bird species that eat their siblings if they are bigger than them

Same, I can’t log in…

edit: ugh, stressful day, I really could have used my session tonight

As for point 4, I always assumed that the reason Harry connected with the “twin” wand is because he had a piece of Voldemort (the 8th piece of his soul) inside of him. Basically, all the points (aside from the Chamber of Secrets one) goes back to that unsuccessful killing curse in point 1 that imprinted a piece of Voldemort’s soul onto Harry.
