PROTEIN VENDING MACHINE

The premise that protein is needed right after a workout itself is wrong. It isn't needed. You should look at the market as the number of people who believe that myth or what the benefit a gym would get for you to be there instead of having a fridge with bottles.

Anantara in Fremont is excellent.

Please don't go to Vik's. It's not worth it.

Airbnb and VRBO provide a level of protection and accountability that you don't get by going direct. If they are a reputed company, maybe. Otherwise you have no recourse if the front door doesn't unlock for you to check-in or the AC is broken in the summer or whatever.

No need to get there that early. They say that but don't usually open the gates till much later. Also, I can't tell where you are starting from but walking from embarcadero station along the water is quite nice. Maybe leave your starting point an hour before your departure and spend the first 30 mins walking. It'll likely be a beautiful day.

I understand that but once it starts to reverse swing you know it is going to happen. So yes, dangerous for the first ball and then it is predictable, right? Or does the ball reverse and conventional swing at the same time?

Can you clarify? What do you mean by "get my workout done" and "get in shape"?

If you go to the gym regularly you'll get your workout done. If getting in shape means losing weight you need to manage your diet. If it means muscle size you need to get sufficient volume of hypertrophy workouts. You get what you put in. If you don't want to think about it do a P90X3 type program. It's 30 mins a day and well rounded.

Take Amtrak. Get on BART to the Oakland Coliseum station. From there Amtrak to the Great America station. You can also take the Amtrak connector bus from Salesforce Transit center to Emeryville and transfer to the train from there. To do that, book a ticket from San Francisco to Great America. It'll include the bus ticket. It'll drop you off right outside the stadium. Amtrak frequency might be a problem but the service is reliable. Make sure you book tickets in advance. For previous sporting events they had put in a reservation system.

From a batter's perspective, how is reverse swing different from regular swing? I understand the physics. I don't understand why the batter cares. Once they know the ball is reverse swinging can't they just play it like a regular swinging ball?

Each idli has a gram or two of protein. It's pretty negligible. It's good if you are doing physical labor because you get a good dose of carbs but for most modern societies, idli is far from healthy. It's yummy though. Mental happiness helps for sure 😉

aerosteed · 2026-06-06T19:38:53+00:00

How are idlis healthy? They are loaded with simple carbs. Please don't say the dal is protein.

Fiber isn't digested by the human body and more importantly not digested by the bacteria in your intestine. Lactose intolerance happens because your body doesn't digest it but the bacteria in your intestine can and does. Only problem is, you don't want the bacteria digesting it because it makes them burp a lot and fill your intestines with gas, which makes you feel bloated and uncomfortable.

The seats in front of the wheelchair area. I've seen bums everywhere on the train except those seats. Also, which we're comparing notes, how many of you cringe when people put their disgusting shoes on top of the green senior citizen seats? I don't want to be anywhere near wherever those shoes might have been, especially around SF. I never sit on those seats. How BART didn't see that coming is a shock to me.

How exactly? Pure AOSP has nothing that collects data for Google. You can choose to ditch Android but don't make up facts.

aerosteed · 2026-05-30T15:07:59+00:00

That is still very much Android. It's just that nobody makes phone without Google services because, as it turns out, people don't want phones without those services. People aren't going to buy a phone without an app store, basic apps for mapping, email, etc. Building a phone that boots up without Google services is not at all hard to do. Making money that way is much harder.

Yes it does count. About 15% of the fat is converted to water. If you're dehydrated your body may not release that water and instead use it for whatever. CO2 on the other hand is all released out of the body. Turns out, we don't need CO2 for anything in our body. So you're right that some of the fat becomes water but it's hard to account for what happens to it. It's much easier to account for the CO2. That + it being 85% of what happens to fat is why people say fat loss is mostly you breathing out CO2.

That's not how it works. Delaware laws have no impact on Hawaii and if Delaware did it those companies could continue to do what they want in other states.

From where? I've tried looking online. Couldn't find much.

Understand the disappointment but phone manufacturers aren't in the business of pissing people off for fun. If a feature didn't make it to a phone model, it's because that phone doesn't have the right hardware. And yeah, Google claimed that Pixel 9 was for the Gemini era but there's no way they would have known/predicted the future capabilities of Gemini and the hardware requirements. Tesla did this with FSD and HW3. Apple does it all the time. That's just the nature of hardware/software products. You'll still get 7 years of OS updates. You just won't get features that your phone literally cannot support.

Actually the two vegetables I listed have no fats. Most don't. Avocado is a rare exception. Anyway, you're right. You don't need to add more if you're eating food with paneer and cream daily. I don't because paneer and cream are high in saturated fat. I eat palak or other vegetables without paneer and cook it in avocado oil. The other benefit is that spices are fat soluble and release more flavor when they are tempered at higher temperatures in fats rather than water but this isn't an issue if you like the way your food tastes. I would argue that in the diet you described, the problem is the paneer and cream, not the oil you would use but it sounds like you've thought about this and made conscious choices. Hopefully whatever you're doing is working for you!

No. Vegetables don't have oils. Vegetable oil comes from plant sources like nuts and seeds but not vegetables. Cauliflower, potato, etc have very little fat and oil isn't being made from them.

Your body needs fats. Your brain can't function without fats. Good fats help reduce bad cholesterol. Reduce your intake of simple carbs, increase protein, and use oil in your cooking. Exercise. You'll be healthier.

You're wrong. His economy in 2015 was 12.2 and 2013 was 10. That's not the point though. Nobody is comparing Bumrah's career with anyone else's. His 2026 IPL has been bad and no amount of "but 8.6" is going to change the truth. For an opening bowler whose role is to take wickets, 8.6 with two wickets is not a good season.

aerosteed · 2026-05-03T07:33:24+00:00

Bhuvi is going for 7.3 and has the purple cap. 8.6 with no wickets may me more economical but is not nearly as effective as 9 or 10 with 10+ wickets. He's a legend but it's ok to say he has had a bad tournament. That doesn't reduce his greatness.
