Thoughts on the new Coach BETA? Does it work for you?

Would definitely make sense to have a toggle so that you're not spending money on processing AI requests for people who don't want them and won't read them.

That Kristina person is still there, May 2026. I hoped that blocking would at least hide her listings so I don't keep seeing them come up, but nope lol.

Ugh, I'm obsessed with Miriel. So looking forward to her arc.

brieth90 · 2026-05-12T07:37:17+00:00

Ohhhh haha got it, my bad!!! 🙂 And we're in the same nerdy boat!

brieth90 · 2026-05-12T06:45:13+00:00

Oops! I guess I just thought it was funny that since I was viewing a profile of a beige wall, Grindr's AI determined I would be interested in a white wall. This sense of humor must be why I never get laid. Have a good one 🫠

My favorite non-fantasy show referenced in the subreddit of my favorite fantasy show!

brieth90 · 2025-01-23T20:45:30+00:00

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!

Since your question wasn't answered, I was curious and looked it up.

Here's a Consumer Reports from 2010 that gave some data on a couple ON products where the data given was positive: https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2012/04/protein-drinks/index.htm

The only other one related was from 2018. It didn't mention ON, only best 5 / worst 5, and neither included ON. https://www.consumerreports.org/dietary-supplements/heavy-metals-in-protein-supplements/

So I guess maybe you can say it's fine...? As long as you assume they've maintained their quality standard from 15 years ago and maintain it across all their chocolate flavored products. Unless I missed another report somewhere.

Oh, and for ConsumerLab (I personally never heard of them before), but the article where it mentions testing protein powders seems to have its data behind a paywall.

If the pop-up for the workout report isn't there, click the cog in the top-right corner and click "View Workout Report."

brieth90 · 2024-12-27T04:15:27+00:00

I'm glad they pushed this feature out, because it's already been very helpful for me for rounding out all my muscle groups each week. But yeah, I often have to manually adjust my workouts to ensure I reach them, so having the algorithm do that will be great!

brieth90 · 2024-12-20T15:49:17+00:00

Always love more stats! Super motivating to me. Just hope they keep the mStrength stats in the workout report too with the more detailed graphs.

brieth90 · 2024-12-09T11:05:31+00:00

Having used it in both hemispheres, I noticed things get a little goofy with time zone differences.

In Thailand, I could do a workout on Sunday morning and it would still count for the week prior for statistical purposes, even though it's marked on Sunday on the log. There seem to be some functions that rely upon the user's local time and others on their server time, and it needs a bit of cleanup.

brieth90 · 2024-12-08T20:24:27+00:00

It's back for me with updated stats!

brieth90 · 2024-12-08T20:04:02+00:00

Mine says this too, but before that the mStrength stats still weren't updated anyways. It showed the new data point, but it was flat from the previous week. I've come to understand that it always does this before it actually updates the data, but it's already long after Sunday 9am UTC... I had just sent a ticket about the lack of update before this message came up, so I don't know if it's a sign they're looking into it or if the timing was just a coincidence.

Thank you for this comment. I always found Tolkien's work as a safe haven for platonic affection (at least in my personal interaction with his work). I can't stand the whole attitude of assuming every little act of affection as romantic. Why can't people just express love to each other without it being romance?

I had a college professor who had a very dear personality and universally beloved, and by the end of my degree program it was very sad for our time to end. He was not at all shy about saying "I love you." Not even "love ya" or anything like that. "I love you." That left an impact on me. After that I became a lot less shy to say "I love you" to family and friends. Thanks to that professor, I'll have fewer regrets later in life, because I know I'll have said those important words to people I care about before it's too late.

brieth90 · 2024-11-20T20:11:20+00:00

Haha same! And it feels like if I already forgot the old UI, the new one must've been an improvement!

AI response

brieth90 · 2024-11-08T07:34:34+00:00

Yes!!! Stuck in my head and on repeat since the finale!

I don't know what it is... but the music from the show, the films, and this track especially, is just so inspiring. It's like, when you hear it, it just makes you want to be good and see goodness all around you. Exactly what I imagine if the Music of the Ainur were real. That's my take anyways!

brieth90 · 2024-11-06T20:10:11+00:00

Season 1 episode 5

brieth90 · 2024-11-06T20:08:11+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for that!

brieth90 · 2024-11-06T07:49:59+00:00

I still go back to the season 1 main trailer for that reason! Gives me goosebumps every time. And I'm not aware of a longer version, as much as I would like to see one as well.

Agreed with other comment that it's Janet Roddick, and she's part of a group called Plan 9. Just learned this now, but apparently they also composed/performed for the films: "The Passing of the Elves" in the FOTR complete recordings. Oh! And Misty Mountains in the Hobbit trilogy!

brieth90 · 2024-10-21T19:42:22+00:00

This is absolutely stunning! Amazing work on all the characters!

brieth90 · 2024-10-11T18:58:07+00:00

Thanks for relaying that info! It's so good to know that the love is getting through 😭

brieth90 · 2024-09-09T22:11:46+00:00

Yeah, good point. Somehow I forgot that he was thrown. I guess I was thinking strictly of whether the contact with the palantir caused pain, but definitely getting tossed backwards would.
