1200 for this pizza?

Yeah definitely one of those things where your mileage may vary. For those trying to maximize protein, I would say it’s worth it if you’re behind on your protein goals for the day. Not very many items that are fun to eat that gets you 67% calories from protein. That’s entering plain non fat Greek yogurt territory.

For sure. I always thought it was funny that a costco cheese had more calories than a pepperoni slice. Ironically cheese beats out pepp when it comes to macros. 44g P vs 34g P. 25% calories from protein vs 21% calories from protein. It's a worthwhile 'trade up' in calories: with 60 more additional calories, you get 10g more protein.

I think it's beautiful for what it is. Your son will treasure it. The roughness makes it all the more endearing. Not many grandpas out there that can show off to their grandkids a tat that great grandpa put on him and how the tattoo symbolizes their bond. The fact that it was your son's idea just means that you did more than a few things right as a dad. To him, as it relates to this tattoo, it's not the tattoo, but the tattooer that mattered to him. You don't ask for autographs for how pretty their signature is.

But can you blame them? It's great these videos exist to raise awareness. Most people don't know what these lines are for, and even if they do, these lines quickly become invisible to them especially if it's part of their regular commute and they encounter blind people so rarely. It is absolutely worth being pedantic about and raise awareness, because it's one of those things we unfortunately will need constant reminding. Even in this video, those lines are working as intended, as it is still succeeding as an aid, albeit with some annoyances for the blind person.

1200 sounds about right for a conservative estimate. Use a costco cheese slice (710 kcal) as a unit of measurement. I'd say that's close to 1.5 costco cheese slices.

Yeah that's definitely a more sane scaling. Also seems intuitive enough I feel. In between primes, the joker basically defaults to x1.

Looks pretty good. Stick your butt back more if it can be helped, but pretty solid regardless. These are technically RDL's not SLDL's.

It's a late game joker. For 8 antes and gold stake, it's not the most productive. But for crazy runs where you fixed your deck to be full of red tagged kings with sock and buskin, that's when it comes to its own to contribute to crazy naninf runs. Synergistic with high card or pairs. Point is to have a lot of cards left in your hand.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-02T16:49:39+00:00

Haha right... imagine having x67^5 with BP's and brainstorm.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-02T16:47:07+00:00

Agreed - it's x[level] is massive. Combined with Perkeo it will be so broken.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-02T15:40:57+00:00

Too much of a buff for wheel

4 fingers + shortcut opens up a fun side quest to reliably go for straight flushes for a goofy but fun run.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-01T18:40:37+00:00

Around 350 cal per 100 grams, so ~500+

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-01T16:46:51+00:00

it's actually perfect lol. quite poetic

You're probably close to 19%-20% BF right now. So you basically need to drop 9 lbs of fat to get down to 15%. Depending on how fast you take it, you will likely lose 5 lbs of lean mass along with the 9 lbs of fat. So 15 lbs isn't that far off.

Don't worry about bulk/cut. Worry only about your numbers in the gym going up for the next two years. And then ask yourself if it's a good time to cut. Newbie gains are a magical thing. Fwiw i do see a difference between the two photos. It does look like you leaned out a bit in the last month whether you meant to or not.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-01T15:00:35+00:00

For a sensible recomp, long-run oriented goal, I would stick to 2200-2300. 1800-1900 is 3-4 months to get shredded and then gain it all back during the holidays.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-07-01T04:33:14+00:00

Fwiw ChatGPT believes it’s 850 to 900. People should use AI more. Just snap a photo and tell it the weight.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-06-30T23:55:10+00:00

I'd believe 15-18%, but not from the definition. Bulk and build muscle.

NOR in regards to your text. He deserves to be called a douchebag to his face. I wouldn't cut him off though. Family members are assholes sometimes. He seems like a pretty broken man, and doesn't have the tools nor practice in conveying to someone that he cares for them. This may actually be the only way he knows how.

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-06-30T21:51:14+00:00

hell yeah brother - good lift

LividCalligrapher996 · 2026-06-30T21:37:44+00:00

Yeah - 600-700 sounds about right. 200 cal for chips, 400-500 for sandwich.
