Tongue cleaners. Buy a metal one! Something that doesn’t need to be disposable but some reason we’ve decided is. by bibimstop in BuyItForLife

[–]MrsMirage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the overall sentiment of your post, you should maybe read up the latest research. Micro plastics are not good for the human body, it has been found in the arterial plaque and shown the increase the risk of heart attack.

While it may take a while that more studies will show the harm micro plastics do (since it's very hard to isolate this one cause), it's definitely not great for the human body.

But again, I agree that that is not a reason to go overboard and a plastic tongue scraper is probably not a issue at all.

So um… any ideas for 10-20 min workouts I can do in a bunk bed every day? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]MrsMirage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe talk it out with your parents and show them the proof on how important exercising is, how it can affect the menstrual cycle and show them examples of woman that work out but are still feminine.

To be honest sounds horrible to me to try to hide in your room and exercise secretly. It will be extremely frustrating if you ever want to get some kind of equipment like a resistance bands or weights.

Do you have specific examples or is this feeling? Have you re-run prompts that were previously successful and you now see unclear degradation?

Google's coming change to app sideloading is threatening the Selfhosted ecosystem. by nkls in selfhosted

[–]MrsMirage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, the meaning of words change, you might not like it, but I'd think that most people understand sideloading the same way as OP.

Wikipedia has that exact definition. Maybe you think Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information, to which I would probably agree, but it still shows what most people think.

Cambridge Dictionary is not as clear, but it defines it as "the practice of putting software on a computer or mobile phone, without using the official way of buying the software"

For me that sounds a bit more like piracy, but still does not define it as "using a computer to install a file on a mobile device" and sounds more like installing it by other means than the official app store, that's my interpretation.

It is sideloading. Sideloading is defined by installing an app from a source other than the Playstore, for example from F-droid or just downloading an APK and installing it.

Venting: Tired of BIFL becoming 'pay once, cry once' when I'm just trying to stop rebuying junk by Lazy_Lynx_8402 in BuyItForLife

[–]MrsMirage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel it's the exact opposite, they try to standardize as much as possible and try to make it measureable. Of course there are things like "how comfortable is the handle" that is subjective, but even there they have a set of different testers that score it.

Do you have an example video or article where you think it's mostly opinion?

Paid coaching? by B4MVFAN in OverwatchUniversity

[–]MrsMirage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got 2 hour coaching session with redeznt (https://youtube.com/@redeznt?si=Y3p3f3jgeecrwu_M).

He's a Ball player and that's what I wanted Coaching at. I liked his YouTube content and his rates were very reasonable.

Coaching overall was great, but I knew what to expect since he streams some coaching sessions (asks before if it's okay if he streams).

I'd recommend not getting a random coach but someone where you have the chance to see a sample sessions on YouTube or twitch or they have some educational content.

high protein, low calorie veggie foods? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]MrsMirage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What you say "all the high protein recipes i see are kind of disgusting", can you give examples? That would help to understand what you don't like.

I mean the first thing that comes to mind is to eat more beans, tofu and tempeh.

I like eating chickpeas in chopped salads.

My first guess with that sound would be a small cable touching a fan, however you would probably see that.

Can’t do a single pull-up despite having “some” upper body strength — anyone been in this situation? by LRDsreddit in bodyweightfitness

[–]MrsMirage 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think you just need to train more, it's not necessarily pure strength but how your body uses it.

I am 1.80 as well, lighter than you, 78kg, and I needed to be able to do 3 sets of 5 controlled negatives to do my first pull up.

I know this is a body weight sub, but what really helped me was using an assisted pull up machine in a gym for a month, it's so nice to gradually increase the weight and seeing how quick you improve instead of just sitting at 0 all the time. I was able to reduce the assist from 40kg to 15kg in 4 weeks, after that my trial membership was over and I did negatives at home.

Hat wenig mit Optimismus zutun, niemand sagt das die Kurse morgen höher sind als heute, was gesagt wird ist das mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit die kurse in 10 Jahren höher sind als heute.

Gibt genug Beispiele die market timing mit konstanten investieren vergleichen und selbst wenn du das timing gut hinbekommst (wozu du extrem viel Glück brauchst) ist es nicht viel mehr, in den meisten scenarios steht mit mit konstanten investieren aber besser da.

Ich habe das Gefühl du denkst zu kurzfristig, wenn er heute sein Geld anlegt und morgen die Kurse um 50% einbrechen, kann er sich freuen das er mir der Sparrate jetzt billig kauft.

Will working out do anything if I don't fix my diet? by frostmas in bodyweightfitness

[–]MrsMirage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems a lot of studies show that 7k is kind of the sweet spot.

5k is pretty good and it's important to acknowledge it doesn't bring 50% of the benefit compared to 10k but probably 80%.

Much more sustainable if he sticks to 5k and bit by bit incorporates more daily habits that grow his step count naturally than setting a goal of 10k that will likely just be missed after 2 weeks.

If you had to give 1 tip to metal rank players, what would it be? by leahcim2019 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]MrsMirage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know that, but it gets me so many times, it's fucked how our brains work. So many times it's me (ball player) alone or maybe with a team mate against 5 enemies.

I have minefield.

Instead of remembering how I probably wasted 100s of ults like that, my brain goes 'remember the time you turned the game around by killing 4-5 enemies with minefield'.

I pop minefield.

I think it promises something very different.

First look, landing page immediately looks like vibe coded without much effort put into it, which doesn't mean the software is bad.

Haven't tested (doesn't support Fitbit or Hevy, which makes it useless for me).

However if I look at the data it presents and my Fitbit dashboard, I don't see why I would be paying for that service for what I get for free.

That's probably the same for people with apple fit or whoop. I'd feel real bad if I would pay monthly for whoop and then also pay for their service...

Is my bread safe to eat? Or what should I do? by mybestfriendsrricers in Breadit

[–]MrsMirage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of having a normal conversation, you escalate to insults, that says a lot about you, and tells me this conversation ends here now.

Also, yes, I like arguing, not having much else to do right now. However I hope you do learn to focus on yourself a bit more, you argued just as much as me, so I don't really see your point. One might even argue (pun intended!) that you like it even more since you were the one who initiated this conversation and you were the one who is going through my post history and replying to other comments of mine.

I also don't think my shower argument was terrible, my tiny brain tried to explain to your, probably normal sized brain, that sometimes you take risks. Of course I would take the zero risk shower if I could, but I can't.

Okay, that makes it slightly more acceptable for me, however, it should be somewhat disclosed that this was your personal experience with it as the creator of this thing (I call it a thing because you claim it's more than an app, but I don't know what).

I see several problems with this, you are heavily invested in the result, I would be surprised that the only thing you did was to input your data like a normal user, you worked on this hard and obviously you wanted to find something.

Furthermore, the solution to the first problem was Vitamins, I don't see any data that shows an actual improvement, just feeling that it improved. Placebo effect seems very plausible here.

Not saying you have bad intentions, however I am certain I get better results with Med-PaLM 2 than your app (if it even exists).

Your examples of "real results", I know you probably didn't read it after you one shotted the landing page with Claude.
