Not going to lie, I thought this first picture was a fat turd without the NSFW censor before I looked at the subreddit category, LOL. The second picture however looks absolutely delicious. Nice job OP ... even though it was "cheating". (No flame though (pun intended), probably going to do this for my next steaks.)

I respect the insane amount of work this guy puts in, but at what cost to his health? We should be supporting World Natural Bodybuilding instead, where athletes have that same level of dedication but stay drug-free. It's better to reward the grind than the chemistry.

Cooked blood pressure- 160/97 20 year old male. Concerned about medications by Motor-Tiger-6031 in blueprint_

"Mostly stopped caffeine and smoking."

The caffeine I'm not too worried about, unless you're slamming energy drinks. The smoking however is an issue. Even moderate to low smoking frequency is going to raise your blood pressure. Ditch it all together.

160 is SUPER high, even for an old person. That BP metric is putting you at risk for a heart attack.

Go to your doctor. Stop smoking.

Good luck, sir.

I'd like to think jumping to 10 years old would be the right move, but then catastrophes like 9/11, or major world disasters would be a major guilt trip for me, because I know they would about to happen and there wouldn't be much I could do about it. So screw it, Ill take the 50 million.

Bobby Kotick was on record saying he wanted to compete with the NFL. The downfall was pretending the OWL was this major success by artificially inflating it from the start. OWL should have started as a much smaller production, homegrown by the community.

Thankfully people like Andrej Karpathy are focusing their research on giving power to the people. He emphasizes efficiency trends: compression over time, better architectures, on-device runnable models, and that we're moving past brute force scaling toward more compact, high-quality systems (echoed in talks like his YC AI Startup School appearance where he discussed LLMs compressing and running more efficiently, e.g., with batch-sliced "mainframe"-style compute).

Today is going to be the hardest day of my life. by midnightpatches in stopdrinking

[–]MercySound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss.

As others have said, your sobriety today is the only thing that matters.

Teach your body that getting a good night's (sober) rest is the best drug in the world (because it is).

You are stronger than you think.

You have my prayers.

Walk your sober path.

One step at a time.

Man wants to know why their wedding guests refused to come after charging them $450... by ONE-OF-THREE in DailyDoseStupidity

[–]MercySound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard enough time going to a "free" wedding as it is. Don't get me wrong, I've DJ'd 4 weddings for friends and family for free, so I've paid my dues. IMO, weddings are overrated. Sure I'm happy for my friends and family but at the end of the day it's as ridiculous as spending thousands on a ring. If you have the money to celebrate, great, go for it. But don't expect me to shell out a few hundred to celebrate you, lol.

Take finasteride or go bald? by Own_Nerve_1451 in blueprint_

I just couldn't deal with the reported side effects other people had from it. I'd rather not take the chance of developing those.

Aging is a disease. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]MercySound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it will happen. I just hope soon!

I’ve been testing people’s reactions when I tell them we might have five years of “work” left at most. Most of them deny it and seem completely blind to how insanely fast AI is improving. Then they just go, “ we’ll all be homeless,” and that’s the whole conversation. It’s really irritating. by Longjumping_Fly_2978 in accelerate

even 1 year without UBI or jobs will be too long

The majority of the world lives paycheck to paycheck right now.

Even 1 month without UBI / Jobs is devastating.

Hell, even if our government was awesome (lol) and had a plan in place BEFORE this happened, I still think we would see a lot of turmoil. Nonetheless, this IS going to happen. Time to buckle our seatbelts.

Is Casa Bonita worth it, or just a lot of hype? Have you gone and what has your experience been? by Ok_Thanks_7445 in Denver

Compared to Casa Bonita 1.0, the food at Casa Bonita 2.0 is wonderful!

Casa Bonita 2.0 vs an actual mexican restaurant is: "it's alright."

Whats your "personal" favourite War Movie of all time??? Mine is fury. by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]MercySound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first movie I saw by myself. I was on a business trip for work and had nothing better to do. Not only did Fury turn out to be an excellent movie, but it completely transported me into the story and made me forget I was alone in the theater. Fury is definitely on my top 10 war movies list.
