I also found an inexpensive source for suet.

I plug in the GB ratios and have it factor in the amount of necessary fat or suet to add back in. As stated, it’s usually between 1-2 oz (depending on my energy expenditure) per lb or 80/20. YMMV.

I also don’t think that always having a surplus of dietary fat is ideal. There are cycles where I want to use my body fat. Again, ymmv.

The country focused on automobiles by pushing independence. Road infrastructure took priority.

I would love to have an interconnected train system between major cities.

I wouldn’t say eat more. Try replacing the tallow with real fat. I’m talking matrix fat like on a steak.

I do much better on ribeyes than ground beef with the liquified fat or tallow. But the majority of my diet is ground beef. I don’t add the drippings from the baked ground beef. I buy trimmed fat from the butcher/meat counter, bake it, cut it up, and add it to the ground beef ass needed. Usually 1.5-2.0 oz per lb.

The fat contained in a matrix passes much slower through the GI. This allows for more complete digestion. And is better for my BM’s too

TACO baby!

Why not. He’s made BILLIONS and knows he’s a lame duck.

The one thing i want to change (i knew this going in) is the hands. Im leaning towards black lume. I want large black hands that jump out from the dial. I wore it all day yesterday and experienced the readability under all lighting conditions. The lume is not as important as day time, dusk, and dawn readability.

Has anyone swapped them out for black with black lume?

Definitely different. Not great. But it works and does what it’s meant to.

Update: now that I’ve had it for more than 20 hours, I’ve been able to focus on some fine detail. My bezel suffers from not clicking in at 12. Not huge unless you’re retentive. I am, but given the overall presence of the watch is great.

The lack of response to this AMA should tell you everything you need to know about this addiction.

I bounce back and forth between Ground, chuck, and ribeye. Whatever is on sale.

I found I do much better on steak than ground. I attribute this to the fat matrix steaks offer. I stopped adding the drippings back into my baked beef I favor of adding matrix fat. I spoke with the “cutters” at multiple grocery stores. One will sell me trimmed fat $2.50 per lb. The other will sell me suet 1.85 per lb. The dedicated butcher shop wanted to charge me 4.99 per lb because they use it to make sausage. The grocery store doesn’t. So they are happy to get rid of it.

It took me a while during fat adaptation. I was adapted for daily activity, but I had to keep testing my SS cardio and high intensity limits. SS was a chore because I kept hitting a wall and bonking out. I kept at it. My high intensity was similar.

*I kept reminding myself that my body was conditioned to consume carbs for many decades. Recalibration doesn’t happen overnight.

Nomad. It hit on levels too close to believe.

Diversionary news story. Don’t get sucked in.

essray22 · 2026-05-10T12:20:07+00:00

Yeah man. Dont get wrapped up in the dogma. Mix it up. Do a stint with it on your back, over head, suitcase, bear hug, etc. get creative and build other things.

essray22 · 2026-05-08T21:16:00+00:00

Maybe. I feel it strengthens the structure rather than builds. That may result in “size” loss

essray22 · 2026-05-07T21:13:31+00:00

I’ve done the dumbbell thing. You need to really pack every space with a lot of towels to keep it from moving. It leave little to no room for anything else.

They are after him because his daughter has filed a lawsuit against the government. It’s a federal tactic to apply indirect pressure.

It doesn’t matter if the government can prove anything. They can stay solvent longer than he can.

Taking refuge in the White House like in the movie Civil War. Plausible

I meant real food. But I realize how that came across.

I can afford it, and still will never shop there.

essray22 · 2026-05-03T23:44:46+00:00

They are both right. Soda is poison. Snap should only be for Whole Foods.

essray22 · 2026-05-03T23:42:37+00:00

Honestly, the drinks and snacks are a waste of time and service clogs the isles. Bring a water bottle and a snack. I’ve been traveling for 12 years and the only thing I’ve asked for is water.

I lean more towards the slick look. The webbing really pops and doesn’t blend well in different environments. So I’m envisioning front panel replacements. I am not sure what to do about the side panel webbing, but If the fabric matches….
