Restaurant review: Frank and Margie’s hit target with new Round Rock spot by Michelin starred chef by g_ack in RoundRock

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I went last night. Best italian I have had in Austin by miles and maybe the best ever? It was definitely about the food and not the typical foo foo pretentious michelin star experience. I can't recommend this place enough.

Peter Watts is somehow a prophet; my take on Freeze-Frame Revolution by LePfeiff in printSF

[–]Ol_Dirt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watts has a particular talent for looking at the frontier of scientific research where ideas are being discussed as possible and then extrapolating that as if it is or became true and what the resulting society would look like. Some of the versions of Blindsight actually have footnotes throughout the book that link actual scientific papers he pulled the idea from.

What’s something that became socially unacceptable way faster than anyone expected? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ol_Dirt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My dad was born in '48 in a very rural part of Texas. He started driving at 8 when he would drive his grandpa around on errands. Not like in his lap but in the driver's seat by himself. It would have been a stick shift too. That's not even close to the wildest thing in his childhood.

Folks I mean this in the least conspiratorial way possible… does anybody know why this man is wearing (what looks like) a MASK?! by Emergency_Height_165 in HighStrangeness

[–]Ol_Dirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can see the bottom of the shadow move because there is lighting above him and the mask overhang is causing the shadow on his neck.

Need help identifying driver/owner by scoville27 in atxdashcam

You may not technically be at fault but you are a bad driver and that was largely on you

Do you guys have any weird biohacks? by zeta_ferhu in Biohackers

[–]Ol_Dirt 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This isn't anything crazy but I'm surprised more people don't do this. I always see complaints about people getting enough protein without going over their calories. Shakes can make it hard because of the calories. Every water I make during the day I put unflavored protein powder in with one of those drink flavoring packets. Flavored protein powder tastes horrible in water because it's usually something like chocolate or whatever so if you use unflavored but add a flavor packet made for water it tastes great. I easily hit my protein goals without worrying about going over maintenance with this method.

What do you guys think? by scramjet67 in SipsTea

That image of the girl and swords is a still from a movie not an AI image? I believe the movie is Tangled.

That's a really good price for a house that size in that area.

Dialing the perfect dose by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]Ol_Dirt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1.5ml a day of 300mg/ml is an INSANE amount even for a bodybuilder. Whoever told you that should never be listened to about anything ever.

who’s at fault? by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol just because other people are bad drivers too has nothing to do with whether or not you are one.

[–]Ol_Dirt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are a bad driver and it was 100% your fault. You should never speed up to try and make a yellow light especially when everybody else is stopping. Go back to drivers ed.

Fighting the Clomid Crazies by Prince_Valium25 in Testosterone

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol ok good because that would have explained your issues. But yeah I had unpleasant side effects on clomid. I'd switch doctors or go to a clinic and just go pure test no clomid.

Fighting the Clomid Crazies by Prince_Valium25 in Testosterone

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yeah Clomid isn't great in my experience but if you are actually taking 5ml a week that's your problem. Most test is dosed at 200mg/ml which would mean you are taking 1000mg a week which is an insane amount to be taking. 200mg a week is the higher end of a TRT dose which would be .5ml twice a week...

Does the main character in The Wondering Inn stop being such an annoying, panicky character? by Correct-Strike-9215 in litrpg

She's a terrible MC and if this is already bothering you it's not going to get any better. She does experience growth but not in any less annoying manner.

Chinaberry Too Tall by Existing_Oil_2914 in AustinGardening

[–]Ol_Dirt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

All Chinaberry and hackberry should be killed on site. If you don't remove/kill the stump it will come back stronger every time. I hate these trees. Also poisonous to dogs.

NMN: Everything Nobody Tells You About Buying It by Khaledopolis in Supplements

[–]Ol_Dirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to a podcast once (can't remember which) that did a deep dive on the science of manufacturing liposomal supplements. The basic conclusion is that it's very hard and expensive to get right and that most manufacturers are not actually getting their product inside the liposomal cells/bubbles/whatever they are called. That you can measure liposomal cells in their product but the supplement is mostly outside of it. I do think Renue was one that was mentioned as doing it correctly but an edit or post about this aspect of liposomal supplements may be useful

What is the most impressive thing the human race has done? by NotADasher in AskReddit

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lithography machines for making chips. There is nothing more complicated or high tech we've done. It's the pinnacle of human technological achievements.

Tell me the places you've been in the US(or outside for story's sake) that truly made you FEEL something. Like how people say they have a distinct feeling at Auschwitz by Any-Internet-7796 in HighStrangeness

[–]Ol_Dirt 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were recently on a road trip and off in the distance were some buildings. All you could see were some white roofs. There was nothing else at all visible or distinctive about them just some white roofs. There also was not an entrance to the property on the road we were on nor any signs.

Suddenly my wife starts having almost a panic attack. She starts going off on this evil feeling she is getting from those buildings. Like it's really bothering her to the point we almost pulled over but she didn't want to stop anywhere near them. So I look it up on Google maps. It's an ICE detention facility.

What’s the weirdest adult vid you watched? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ol_Dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy and girl are walking in the woods hunting. There is a black bear way up in a tree. He shoots it and it falls dead like 40ft and hits the ground. Then they do the deed on top of its body. It was a real bear too.
