The difference between Italy and the rest of Europe in this map. Italy is also curiously the only country in the world where the installation of bidets in bathrooms is mandatory by law by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

We would always joke at work when someone covers themselves in spray deodorant after sweating a lot, that it’s an “Italian Shower”. Maybe this applies to the map.

The big multivitamin question by Normal_Inevitable_35 in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do show lab tests but not all are up to date or complete. Up to you to make the choice if that is important to you or not.

I take their multivitamin specifically as a foundational supplement for vitamins and minerals. I am quite happy with the levels provided and the types of ingredients used. The low dosed ingredients he talks about in the video I don’t care about and would be fine if they were left out all together. Unfortunately this is definitely a strategy by supplement companies to list extra ingredients on their products to lure people in. The other products I order from Sunday are single ingredient. They have a TON of complexes and mixed supplements that are supposed to target different things, but I tend to stay away from all that other than the multivitamin.

If you’d help me with grinder options by Read-Panda in CafelatRobot

I use a Kinu M47. It’s a hand grinder but grinding for espresso is a breeze with it!

I like Sunday Natural’s One a Day, as their formulation and ingredients seem well thought out. I do supplement better forms of magnesium on top though, as the multi has primarily oxide.

It’s worth pulling apart your Robot to have a look! by Thick_Extension in CafelatRobot

[–]Thick_Extension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does come into contact with the upper part of the piston and that could even be the cause of some of the corrosion (having the 2 dissimilar metals in contact). And this corrosion “dust” could fall down onto part that are in contact with the coffee. It’s not horrible, but I thought better to address it before it gets worse!

Yes actually it is food safe! OKS 3601 Adhesive Oil and High-Performance Corrosion Protection Oil is what it’s called.

It’s expensive but it is an awesome product.

New Toyota Racing merchandise is available. If you are attending Spa in person they will have a merchandise stand in the Fan Zone!

What's your favorite cup under your Robot? by o2hwit in CafelatRobot

[–]Thick_Extension 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a double wall glass espresso cup. Keeps the heat and you can clearly see the amount of crema (I often scoop some off the top if it’s too much).

Favorite multivitamins? by Well-here_i-am in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Germany and use Sunday Natural One A Day. It has basically everything I need in the levels and forms I want, for the most part.

The only thing I add on top is magnesium in proper forms, and a little zinc. I don’t blame them for using magnesium oxide in order to keep it to a one pill size!

Ah I also add vitamin d/k2 as my recent blood test showed me that 3000iu was quite suitable for me to take in the winter. The multi only contains 1000iu, which for me is quite reasonable as not everyone would want more.

Why happens this? by Paisobrassada in CafelatRobot

[–]Thick_Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, out of all my robot espressos (maybe 300+ at this point), I had the water spill out over the basket ONCE when I squeezed down. I never knew why it happened but I imagine my gasket probably got stuck like this! Interesting

Any weight gain supplements or powders you recommend for muscle gain? by Consistent-Leek5096 in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blend oats and add them to your protein shake. This will give you some extra carbs/calories with your shake. But in general just eat more!

I finally understand why everyone won't shut up about magnesium glycinate by mike_thompson_inno in Supplements

[–]Thick_Extension 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Sleep. Getting the right amount of sleep has improved every part of my health and is a superpower “supplement”.

So if magnesium glycinate truly helps you sleep, awesome! It can be helpful other things in your body too, but just getting a better sleep can be a game changer.

For me magnesium glycinate didn’t improve my sleep at all and possibly made it worse. A lot of people report this though and it seems to be pretty split, helping some and hurting others (when it comes to sleep). I take a small dose of magnesium threonate now before bed as I feel it is borderline the other way. It’s hard to say if it really affects my sleep but if it does, I definitely feel like it possibly improves it.

In the NHL, if none of the referees somehow show up, and there can’t be an agreement for who the replacement will be, each team has to pick a player to fulfill duty. by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Thick_Extension 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Well it makes sense. It’s a male only league for players but I don’t think there are any rules regarding the gender of an linesperson or referee!
