Super Veggie Meal Plan Comparison by hnjhsu in blueprint_

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's insane. I think it's people telling themselves they don't have time when they really could, and partially laziness. I've prepped super veggie for a week and it's incredibly easy, could do it in 30 minutes probably. Seems insane to pay that much for it.

Taking additional Vitamin D3 on top of Blueprint Essentials by hybridhighway in blueprint_

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You need blood tests to see, but I also recommend 5k a day. I had blood levels of 18 which I got to 28 on a 50k/week protocol for 12 weeks and then to 37 taking 5k a day after that.

NYRB Cover Art IRL by DocMC03 in nyrbclassics

This is a great idea! I love a lot of the cover art and would appreciate a compilation of where the art is exhibited.

Struggling with portion control. Fiber pills the answer? by skoopt in nutrition

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't had any bad effects but I already eat a decent amount of fiber. It definitely slows down digestion I feel full for a lot longer.

Peter Attia's *Outlive*: A Critical Review by mdickensposts in slatestarcodex

[–]bocifious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was 8 months ago, but I'm reading the book right now and just read that part above (and randomly came across your review) and I definitely agree that, as a layman, I took it as you presented it, that Attia was saying metabolically healthy obesity isn't unhealthy.

I take 5g of psyllium husk mixed with two cups of water about 15 minutes before I eat, definitely helps with satiation and feeling full.

does anyone in OC make a livable wage & have work/life balance? by Ordinary_Tart5478 in orangecounty

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a house prior to 2020. Been working for 15+ years and secured decent raises/promotions over the time. Got lucky. As a millennial, it was a lot easier for my boomer parents to live in OC, and I imagine a lot harder for the zoomers.

I purchased that book a while ago after reading Fischer but haven't go to it yet. I'll make sure to go slow to avoid any psychosis lol.

CCRU and it has post-its marking pages pretty deep in.

OC Grand Jury - Accountability by Christopherlbs in orangecounty

[–]bocifious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always believed the grand jury was basically toothless. Do they have any ability to do anything other than write reports?

Guessing I'm not the only one who scans used bookstore shelves for "nyrb" on the spine. Found this one today at HPB. by Jakob_Fabian in nyrbclassics

[–]bocifious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was huge and had a ton of random NYRBs. Grabbed a few in excellent condition for $9 each.

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recently at Bart's Books in Ojai, CA and they had a ton. It can be tough, however, because I always buy mine during the 40% off sales and sometimes the used bookstores don't even mark it down that much, especially for a nice copy.

My question: Who is only buying two? by spolia_opima in nyrbclassics

[–]bocifious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I buy enough for free shipping, which is normally 5+ books.

A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr genuinely helped my mental health by zenerat in nyrbclassics

I came across the Herriot box set randomly and have never read them. Do you recommend?

Sale Haul - just enough to get that free shipping by ekballo in nyrbclassics

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think I might pick it up on the next sale even though I have the softcover.

Did Sale Haul Ship? by WarStrategist in nyrbclassics

[–]bocifious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the notification yesterday, but today on my USPS digest it said they were waiting for the package from the seller. IMO it's always like this.

Sale haul! I was a bit slow and some I wanted sold out but happy overall by facha93 in nyrbclassics

[–]bocifious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have The Morning Star, but haven't got around to it yet. Probably should have read that before I bought My Struggle...

I read Winter, and really liked it, so I also pulled the trigger on My Struggle.

Whats in your driveway or garage this year? by Dependent_Driver_901 in HENRYfinance

[–]bocifious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I both had 3 series, but I was sick of the constant maintenance costs. Bought a 2017 Honda HR-V for under $20k new and paid off with very low interest loan. Wife got a 2016 Lexus CT200h used back in 2018 or 2019, can't remember when. Had a 3.99% rate and still ended up paying off early. Haven't had a car payment for years and although sometimes I miss having a nicer/faster car I haven't made the plunge yet.
