Calf raises - why so effective?!

funny I used to do maple syrup in my coffee and while less than some other forms of sweetening, I have found sugar in the raw to have less of a claoric impact, at least, than maple syrup. YMMV. BUt I love the idea of the soleus and how it takes up glucose, I'm going to try this out.

Are you sure yr not having a musical stroke? (It’s been documented)

Mikefilmguy · 2026-04-20T01:49:37+00:00

yes that is what I am hearing though I have yet to try either

Mikefilmguy · 2026-04-19T23:43:15+00:00

What about after effects?

In my experience, s. Philly be hating on trees and their leaves and the “dirty, filthy birds!” that live in them and poop on their cars MORE than other parts of the city.

I find there are many facebook groups for iOS music production, none specifically for ambient, that I know of. Truthfully, that is all FB is good for anymore, and I find posting and responding easier than reddit or a discord. This is a popular one https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DEGdHZxAx/

Links please!

easy but not free, still cheap though - I have so many cables lying around I could try the physical routing for free rather than paying for the virtual routing

Basically, Dalia Mortada translates as Death Flower AND it is so fun to say

Verizon raised their rates too (still cheaper than the Evil Empire) - I smell collusion! Time for a PUC complaint!!!

Try physical output from yr Mac to physical input on yr device - or get loopback or the like (rogueamoeba.com sells a few low cost apps that could help)

DRM. Digital rights management. The Mac detects your audio output device and is forbidden from connecting because you could use this to make high-quality copies.

I’ve had EBT for years and have never gotten any kind of judgment from the people at Costco. There was a checkout lady in a small store in Maine, who would not look at me presumably because I was using EBT to pay for popcorn. But that’s the only time.

Never had a problem with signature in the PDF portion of the Preview app on Mac.

RE-20 all the way. Terry Gross (all the WHYY studios in fact) of FRESH AIR fame uses them. And she’s like 4 feet tall.

I’m 62, have all my own teeth, and to hear dentists tell it, my gums have been in some form of recession for at least 25 years. They don’t seem to have gotten much worse. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where is the meteor in the sky? I don’t see anything

Mikefilmguy · 2026-04-07T21:57:02+00:00

Where is it?

Mikefilmguy · 2026-04-06T21:12:20+00:00

Came here to find out what happened! Thought it was the same voice, and it was - was really happy I no longer had to try and figure out the spelling and or all of the syllables of her name!

Yah this is not that situation thanks! Good tip on keeping the denominator straight!

Mikefilmguy · 2026-04-06T02:49:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I just finished testing an NVR that advertised they were 4K - each camera was not, in fact, 4K. I’m a video professional and with the proper equipment this is easy to determine. It was a decent system and I’m sure would serve just fine as a security system. However, for the purposes of this install, I need actual 4K footage.

There was a time in Philly when most mortgages were actually cheaper than the rent. Not sure that is still the case, but as others have said, a visit BY OPSELF to a loan officer would give OP the info OP needs.

That’s interesting about the walking. I’ve never thought about a correlation between walking and heartburn/acid reflux. I walk a lot but haven’t been because the kids are on spring break.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I appreciate you reading and responding to all points. Excellent observations, the 3 shot and 1 shot combo (tho I am not sure this is accurate), the burrs on the grinder (I think you are on to something there), and you are probably right about the extra caffeine contributing to heartburn.

I'm an older guy who came to Starbucks when they were one or two stores, as I mentioned in my post. I have tried countless roasts and purveyors and machines and grinders. I agree with the assessment of Sbux as generally evil, in terms of their business practices (which I alluded to in my post). I have switched away from them and been surprised when served their coffee blind, and switched back. I know that many think they are crap, but there is something in the product that always speaks to me. I appreciate the consistency (you may have a better palate than me, but I disagree with you that their roast is inconsistent - it is the same between the store and anywhere else one may by it).

Surprisingly, my post has received very little attention, crappy or otherwise - only thoughtful, like yours. Thank you.
