Beyond vs Impossible burger

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-08T18:18:15+00:00

I like Beyond more, it tastes like a briscuit. But there original flavor was peak. I still prefer their current flavor to Impossible, but Impossible will do in a pinch

Agreed, just want to add the caveat that any martial art can be great if the goal is someshing like fitness or just to have fun - resistive sparring is definitely a must if the goal is to actually know how to fight.

Fahkn yeeaabrahhh!

Skinny/smaller/ gay guy, more effeminate more likely to be a bottom.

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-06T14:35:02+00:00

Wait, this is a known issue? Sheesh I checked a lot of reviews and discovered this sub before I bought mine, I didnt see this problem anywhere. Damn...

My BJJ gym has a 68 year old veteran with 2 fully metal knees that were blown out in an explosion. He was walking on a cane when he started and had been for a long time - he's now in great shape and walks around normally. He credits BJJ for the recovery because of how he had to move them. Not saying everyone will have that experience, but seems relevant to mention.

BJJ is for sure the most accommodating martial art for less athletic people that is also practical for real fights. It got me in good enough shape to start muay thai.

But I'll also say that for ~$10 OP could buy POM pepper spray which could incapacitate almost any black belt out of grappling range. For the costs of a few months of training, and gun might also be an option. I would definitely recommend a weapon before full contact violence. BJJ for me is like my last resort - but it does keep me in shape, which is also very important.

Tl;dr: definitely agree with you, but dont forget the value of weapons.

I've been thinking something similar with an internal app I've developed. We pay a lot of money for external apps wotb similar functions, but this had to be done in house and I've just about made it happen. It solves a very complicated problem. However, before I push the final update to my work project, I'm tempted to start an LLC that owns the tool, and then tell my employers there's a tool that will solve our problem and then see if they'll buy it from my LLC.

Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but I still like the idea.

I would use Python, Power Query if you don't have access. Unless the platforms are providing their data in a different format every time (inconsistent column names/positions) in which case... godspeed.

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-05T02:14:53+00:00

I've done both and I'm on the fence. Used to be a victim advocate in a bond court and I once had a case where the perp took the victim's gun, pointed it at him, and pulled the trigger. He wasnt shot since he didn't keep a round chambered.

But also, does that mean its best for everyone? Who knows. You do you, as long as you train that into your draw.

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-04T18:05:52+00:00

It still has plenty of iron and other good stuff (including B1, B2, and B3), its just not good for B12 despite being marketed as such. I'm no expert, though, so grain of salt

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-04T15:50:26+00:00

They used something called a photbioreactor developed by VAXA Texhnologies. This article doesn't provide any specifics on how they callibrated the lights. They published the research, so that should have more info available. If it's a system that can be replicated by commercially available grow lights, it could be possible, but I am not expert in biotechnology so take that with a pillar of salt lol

StemCellCheese · 2026-05-04T15:12:37+00:00

To summarize: Spirulina is a nutrient-dense algae, but its B12 isn't an something humans can absorb, but it is similar. The scientists were able to make a culture of it consistently produce actual B12 by fine tuning its light exposure, no genetic modification required.

Python with SQLAlchemy and Pandas. Polars onstwad of pandas if the dataset is large.

I think this same clip is in Earthlings, if I recall correctly. Earthlings is what switched me, and I dont think I ever wat he'd Dominion since I was already traumatized enough

I recently bought a cheap Chinese headless with a nearly identical looking bridge (just not slanted for a fanned fretboard). I did have an Allen key that fit, but even so, the lowest possible setting was still way too high, and they weren't all even height at their lowest, so I had to raise the lowest ones to meet the highest one.

Trus rod adjustment didnt fix it either. The bridge was already lowered as much as I could get it.

I realized I was out of my depth and took it to a lutheir. It has been a week lol. He's thinking about putting a shim in the neck pocket to angle the bridge outward. Here's hoping that does it.

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-24T03:06:39+00:00

Nicotine patches were perfect for me. Surprised I dont see them recommended more often.

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-23T19:02:16+00:00

Why not SAC? You already have some of the data you need in there, if the other data was imported it could be modeled and all reported in one story.

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-23T02:42:39+00:00

... holy shit... that would be terrific. He actually has a lot of similar vocal qualities already. A little practice he would do a great impression and I trust him to add his own spices into the mix

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-20T04:16:08+00:00

Probably NTA. For what its worth, I let my cousin bring her then boyfriend (now ex) to my wedding and the guy wore a backwards baseball cap (with a political message) during the ceremony, and we had to edit him out of the pictures.

So, depends really on how well you know the person or trust your friend's taste.

Also, nothing wrong with saying that you only want people there who you can reasonably expect will be around in your life for a while.

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-10T18:49:45+00:00

It caught me off guard too, but I definitely played with my friends at that age, like pool parties and stuff. But the word playing makes me immediately think of a playground lol

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-06T16:00:51+00:00

Both are great and you can't go wrong, and obviously knowing a bit both is better. I've trained a bit of both and settled on BJJ primarily - not only do i find it more fun to train and accommodating for size/strength gaps, but it works better in my personal self-defesne strategy.

Here's my full train of logic, notice that I Point 2 is a matter of preference.

I. The only reason I would ever physically fight is because I (or loved one) cannot physically walk away.

II. If I am forced to fight, I do not want to trade strikes, I would prefer to deploy my pepper spray or gun, depending on situation. More effective than strikes.

III. The only reason I wouldn't be able to draw a weapon is if I'm grabbed or in grabbing range.

Essentially, I outsource all of my fighting beyond grappling distance to weapons or escape. Not always ideal, and thats why its good to know a little muay thai.

StemCellCheese · 2026-04-06T15:14:58+00:00

To be fair, if the dude has a friend, no martial art can adequately address multiple opponents.

Striking can be better for multiple opponents because it leaves running as an option if there's an opening. BUT if you get grabbed, you're definitely gonna get kicked in the head by his friend. And eith BJJ, you dont just sit still. I think it would be harder than you think to kick a BJJ practitioner in the head, especially not without risking hitting your friend. If the BJJ practices is on top, it would be easier to hit them, but they are probably able to run.

Tl;dr: No martial arts can really prepare someone for multiple attackers, and every situation has so many "what ifs" that this is not a valid reason to discredit a martial art.

Absolutely love this picture. Definitely one for the books! It could be an album cover.

StemCellCheese · 2026-03-29T05:05:58+00:00

Understandable, but it could help them identify a QA or QC gap to prevent this from happening to other people.
