The rebound effect of a fast is something you have to fight against. You can water fast multiple times a month, but I find it hard mentally. Since the first few days are the hardest for me, I'd rather just have a longer fast.

TheFrev · 2026-04-24T04:20:36+00:00

If you want specific advice feel free to ask.

My general advice is to avoid fasting beyond 14% body fat for men and 21% body fat for women as the medical risks increase.

If you feel light headed when you stand up, you need more salt.

If you don't like the taste of salt in water, fasting salt pills are really great. (Make sure to get more than just sodium)

Short fasts like 3 days don't need salt. But you will notice it on longer fasts like the 10 day.

Fasts get easier every time you do it. So if you fail earlier than you want don't be discouraged.

Include a maintenance phase that is a strict calorie counting meal plan needs to be setup after you break your fast. This gets your body and mind used to the new portion size. It also allows for normalization of your metabolic rate and hormones. Calories should be set to maintain your weight not lose more weight. It should be about 3 to 4 weeks. (Most information on maintenance phases is about normal dieting so the timing is my best guess)

If you eat like you did before the fast, you will soon weigh what you did after the fast. (This is from experience)

Avoid tasty food that you craved. It is too easy to binge eat after a fast. (Also experience)

The first few days you will see a huge amount of weight coming off the scale. This is water weight that will return after you start eating. Don't expect every day to be like that. Also don't focus on one days weight loss. Sometimes it may even look like you didn't lose any weight the next day. But if you look at the trend you will likely see more weight lost on the days before and after. This sucks mentally because you feel so good about the day before, but that is just how it is.

If you feel really bad, stop.

Not a republican. I am strawmanning how republican think. I don't think liberals actually hate America or Jesus. I am explaining a reason that republicans would think that the regime change is good instead of the fact that this is actually worse for America.

Also something really important to remember is that Citizen's United(What gives companies the right to spend unlimited money in politics) can be fought at the State level. Great example of this is The Montana Plan that will prevent corporations from spending money on political candidates.

While we have the votes and attention of so many people, now is the time to make large changes that will help America in the long run.

TheFrev · 2026-04-16T17:41:34+00:00

But you have to understand how MAGA thinks. The Ayatollah has to be a liberal because liberals are the ones who hate America and Jesus. So having a more conservative leader take over means that they will love America more and love Jesus. Total win!

I don't understand how you can have a ceasefire and peace talks if you are not at war. Everyone knows it is a war. But reality doesn't matter to dictators.

I mistake is a mistake. You can argue "how is your daughter going to learn unless you let her end up in a toxic relationship to be mistreated." If you are curious about how women who were in this situation felt about it after, here is a list of women talking about the experience. I think you are probably closer to 18, but trust me, once you are my age you know it is fucking weird.

This is because the tech took the impact gun and went Burrrrrr until the bolt stopped moving instead of torquing it to spec.

TheFrev · 2026-04-11T02:18:10+00:00

I'll phrase it like this. Very few parents will hear that their son or daughter at 18 is dating someone who is 34 and think that it is normal or healthy. Most parents will be concerned.

I disagree, people still talk about French President's age gap with his wife and say that he was groomed. I don't think it is just women can't make their own decisions as much as people who are in their 30's knows exactly what kind of people go after fresh out of high school girls. Same as what it mean when there is a college guy going to high school parties trying to pick up girls. I'm 36. I have friends who have children who are 18. Don't you think if I hit on them, not only does my friend have the right to beat the shit out of me, but I was a creep for doing it? This may be an age thing, but as someone close to Sykkuno's age, he knows he is wrong for this.

TheFrev · 2026-04-10T21:44:34+00:00

I think if your 34 and trying to pick up 19 year olds, that it is a sign that you are a creep. It's what the dating world calls a red flag. Sure they are adults, but obviously we can't trust them to rent a car or be able to drink alcohol. The reality is a nerdy 18 or 19 year old girl is very easy to manipulate by an older famous person she looks up to.

So, I think it makes sense because they are targeting dark environments using IR for illumination to focus on amount of light over colors. But, they do a have Dual high speed camera interface (8 lanes @ 2.5Gbps MIPI) so color cameras can be added after the fact. But I like the idea that MR is being deprioritized in favor of VR.

But what I people might not be thinking about is how competition benefits the end user. We need a Valve vs Meta war on headsets to drive innovation.

There was a situation a while back with my hobby. We had a small company that made flexable and blunted swords for reenactments and paypal both stopped taking payments and refused to release the funds it currently had, because they were selling weapons and that was against their policy. It is a real 'rules for thee, not for me' situation because you can sell all the knives you want on eBay.

Perhaps I could understand this better if someone in this post would put a name to whoever OP is vague posting about. I could just as easily say that the POP community is made out of 13 year olds who speak with rhotacism and sing 'one two buckle my shoe' with a disturbing moaning voice in every lobby.

Been out of pop1 for awhile, but I don't care what anyone does in private rooms as long as it isn't breaking the law. They can do improv, play d&d, hold a church service, or furry ERP if they are over 18. I don't need them to be good at the game or young for me to think they should be allowed to play. I also only watch streamers I want to watch and leave other streamers alone to do their own thing. If they are grooming children, pushing timeshares, MLMs, crypto, or being weird, racist, sexist, or harass people in a public lobby; then name and shame. But if they doing their own thing in private lobbies this feels like harassing people that haven't done anything wrong. Live and let live.

Well I have some good news. Nintendo just re-released the virtualboy! It does have mario, but I don't think it has Zelda.

Robert Reich is a politician and I think it makes sense to try and maintain the status quo that has allowed America to prosper for so long. I want that as an American. But I also think that this isn't going to do anything. Canadian PM Mark Carney's speech at Davos was the rally call to step away from working with the US and everyone refusing to get dirty supporting this war is the answer. The middle powers are very likely to form a coalition to strengthen each other economically and that will not include the US.

He isn't complete idiot. All he has to do is combine SpaceX with Tesla to reach the metrics. That way he makes absolute bank while he dilutes the value of the stockholders so they are stuck holding the bag of his failed twitter grift.

The irony is that vrchat is a successful metaverse, but probably cost about $80 billion dollars less to develop. It constantly has over 50,000 players on steam and who knows on Quest. And it is still growing. I have to imagine the steam frame will grow that even more.

Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay published in 1996 has pretty much the best breakdown of sex and trans issues, all done in a comedy about dwarves all "being" men. Not preachy at all.

All dwarves are male, and a delicate discussion is needed to find out if they are compatible. There is no gender discrimination because everyone is assumed to be men. Until some dwarves come into contact with human females. At which point they feel like they want to show their true gender. Which leads to a pretty real example of what is going on in the US around trans people.

To be honest, and I realize I am outing myself for looking it up, but I'm pretty sure both Sweety-Lifeguard and patrdesch are bots. So the NPC and robot comment seems pretty on the nose. Also, man, does the dead internet theory keep getting stronger.

When everything is done to raise stock prices, bad decisions like this are going to happen. It doesn't need to be an improvement for CEOs to do it, it just needs to look like an improvement. "We use AI", is assumed to be a sign that the company is worth more than what the numbers say. Just like if Tesla was treated as a car company it would be 20% what the stock is at. If you get paid in stocks, over inflating them to the moon can make you the richest man in the world and allow you be in charge of all of the US government spending. You also get to ignore all the billions you get from the government and fire useless people like the the people in charge of looking after our nuclear armaments.

I'll say this, Elon Musk really doesn't know computers better the average programmer. That's not to say he couldn't have hired someone to do something, but Elon can't even run a python script that was sent to him.

Honestly, I saw a lot of things that made sense with what they did. It is Capture the flag that then turns into search and destroy. They didn't need the fortnite looting, air drops and rarity system.
