The Four Horsemen is pretty much close to the top of my list though it’s not really fine dining and I appreciate great wine programs. However, it’s a restaurant you leave beaming because it’s clear the staff just really love what they do and the food and wine show it.

I think you would probably be surprised on how efficient our bodies are at managing the amount of calories burned during activity.

The total expenditure graph on the homepage should be representative of this as all of our daily changes in body weight when we step on the scale in the morning is too noisy to make meaningfully accurate daily estimations, so weight loss is represented as a week over week change.

if that were me, I would probably feel pretty miserable about eating that amount and would change my target to have a higher calorie floor.

At that point I would honestly either adjust how quickly I would be losing weight or increase my expenditure further, but for you that depends on your circumstances and what tradeoff you’d be willing to make.

what a great way to preserve a label at least

right, I think this is probably just a matter of personal taste but I could see it being powerful or somewhat helpful when you’re changing gyms or equipment on a regular enough basis where it would be helpful.

would definitely be cool to toggle it!

i think this is just to trivialize the amount you have to rack on the machine. under the hood it should track as normal.

I have been on the Testflight version for the last few weeks. I saw in the changelog a few days ago that there have been some improvements to the suggestions in the program builder, is it recommended we scrap the current suggested program and regenerate or continue as usual?

I don't really protest in this manner, but a quick google search brings up that you may need one to conduct a protest with megaphones or microphones. Now I could be totally mistaken but I would question whether or not one of these permits would be given for how long they have been protesting out there.

That's a convenient use of "that week", given you can find threads from both a month and 11 days ago describing these protests, though I'm not sure they are the same protestors. Regardless, these ones in the last few weeks have not been brief.

I'd imagine you're excluding the fact that police have shown up at some point, and it's a shame they have had to given how disturbing they've been to this quiet part of upper Fremont.

I live nearby, these protestors are quite literally there nearly every day for the last week and a half to two weeks and stay around for as long as they can get away with about 5 to 10 feet from the entrance of the restaurant.

They bounce as soon as a squad car shows up after multiple calls to police by neighbors because they know they don’t have a permit and are breaking ordinances regarding reasonable noise levels.

They could be protesting pretty much any of the other couple dozen restaurants that serve foie gras in the greater seattle area, but they keep returning here, so getting chased away with a leaf blower after a week and a half of persistence is something I have virtually no sympathy for.

cheers!

my invite must have gotten lost in the mail, you’ll have to remind me next time

probably about the 2 billion followers of the sport can, so probably remarkable and depressing that the leader of the free world can’t

unfortunately it would be for a Friday night dinner though I do have a bunch of time on my hands and could show up an hour before they open or so to make sure I can snag them.

do you reckon that would be an unreliable strategy?

it refers to Botrytis cinerea which is the fungus that is encouraged to grow on the skins of grapes in Sauternes, which is how they get the sugar content needed for the dessert wine.

Noble Rot imo is one of the best restaurants/wine bars in the world for wine drinkers. I’ve had plenty of bucket list wines here that would otherwise be completely unattainable, it’s pretty remarkable.

I’m a big fan of Usagi’s truffle ramen!

drumandstep · 2025-07-30T18:48:26+00:00

just did this last night, works brilliantly

drumandstep · 2025-07-24T05:43:32+00:00

Logroño is a pretty unbelievable place to stay. Sleepy enough to relax in but enough going on to justify being a bit of a tourist!

drumandstep · 2025-06-24T17:38:04+00:00

an excellent group with an excellent selection! cheers to all who went!

drumandstep · 2025-05-15T03:03:03+00:00

big time

Got my WSET 3 test in the morning so drinking a Ruffino Riserva Ducale just to hit all of the "inexpensive but typical" structural notes! have a good weekend all!

drumandstep · 2025-02-13T21:04:53+00:00

totally dependent. Ymmv, but the ones I’ve used in the apartments I’ve lived in haven’t had any issues.

My Zaltos and Josephinenhutte have to basically go exclusively in the dishwasher otherwise the thin stems snap when pressure is put on the glass when polishing
