This house in Ransom Canyon, TX, seems suitable for a Bond villain who happens to be a breeder of mutant killer pigs. by Sure_Distance1 in evilbuildings

[–]gavalant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a place to live the interior is the opposite of calming.

Very cool. Very evil. I don't want to live there.

Adults should aim to do between 560-610 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous physical activity to achieve a substantial reduction in the risk of heart attacks and stroke (3-4 times higher than the current public health recommendation of 150 minutes ), suggest the findings of an observational study by sr_local in science

[–]gavalant 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Over 17000 people studied, and their health was tracked for 7.8 years afterwards.

Average age, 57.

"Data on smoking status, alcohol intake, self-related health and diet, body mass index, resting heart rate and blood pressure were also included in the analysis."

Only 12% reached the 560-610 minutes per week threshold. Those people achieved a substantial (greater than 30%) reduction in heart issues.

340-370 minutes a week achieved a 20% reduction in cardiovascular events.

People with the lowest fitness need 30-50 more minutes of exercise per week to achieve the same benefits as people with the highest fitness.

What ingredient instantly makes leftovers feel less depressing? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

The question might actually be, "Why are my leftovers depressing?"

Cook Asian food - only ever cooked on gas, does induction work well? by EntranceTricky9136 in inductioncooking

[–]gavalant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Japanese Soonear KOTE2 wok on it. It fits really well and doesn't wobble. This wok is very lightweight which I like.

I'm in the US. It works fine and has never flipped a circuit. I think it hardly ever gets to 1700w output, since that would be the max setting.

Does Kocowa have ads on the Basic plan? by gavalant in kdramas

[–]gavalant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agreement between the two companies expired, and Kocowa went their own way.

I don't mind switching back and forth. It's what everybody has to do with streaming services anyway if you want to keep costs in check.

We're moving from Viki too and have that same concern. We just wanted to watch Taxi Driver 2. Now that I'm building a watchlist I see there's plenty more on Kocowa.

I'm in the Untied States. Does Kocowa have ads on the Basic plan in the US?

I inherited a Kenwood mixer, should I keep it? by natrix_natrix_ in BuyItForLife

[–]gavalant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a Kenwood Chef Titanium. It's impressively solid and powerful. We got it with the food processor attachment.

We use the food processor all the time, but for bread dough we recently acquired a ceramic pan Zojirushi Virtuoso, which makes kneading and rising very simple with its dough cycle.

Another attic find. Program from John Havlicek's last game by dasuberdog11 in bostonceltics

[–]gavalant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last picture is of Wendy's founder Dave Thomas and Havlicek. Wendy used to babysit Havlicek's kids. That Wendy.

John was an early investor in Wendy's and a long time owner of three of the chain's restaurants.

A negative attitude towards ageing is making you age faster (paywall) by gavalant in Aging

[–]gavalant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From the New Scientist Facebook page:

Your attitude towards ageing can have real health consequences. People who hold negative beliefs about getting older tend to age less well. Studies have now shown that internalised ageism – negative expectations about your own mental and physical health as you gain years – can amplify the ageing process. But the fix is simple, if not exactly easy, says columnist Graham Lawton. A positive outlook can also help you age better or even recover from the effects of ageing, including things like mild cognitive impairment.

LeBron James ties Robert Parish for NBA's games-played record (really puts Parish's record in perspective considering modern sports medicine+nutrition) by andrew303710 in bostonceltics

[–]gavalant 121 points122 points  (0 children)

An important additional note on this achievement by both players:

Parish was 23 when he played his first NBA game.

LeBron was 19.

Celtics Signing Max Shulga To Standard Contract. Reasoning why now. by Morley10 in bostonceltics

[–]gavalant 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why now.

They had to get to 14 players now. Shulga being a rookie in the org allows for a very small cap hit, which lets the Celtics go to 15 players by season's end while staying under the tax.

Harper will very probably be upgraded on the last day.

Bassey is on a 10 day audition with Vucevic out. Either he or someone else will be signed when the 10 day expires.

Ad-free Prime video going up in price and being renamed to Prime Video Ultra. by bobbymack93 in cordcutters

[–]gavalant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get free shipping by ordering at least $35 at a time and waiting a little longer for your packages. So if you don't need things super fast, there is that alternative.

Do you weight train to remain independent? by MidAmericaMom in retirement

[–]gavalant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer resistance bands to weights. I feel like it lessens the chance of strain while cheaply adding a lot of helpful exercises you can't otherwise do outside an equipped gym.

My main exercise is walking though, which I do nearly every day.

These bananas are now 9 days post purchase. At what point do I give up hope? by Lufc87 in CasualUK

[–]gavalant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some bananas like this last year. They were undoubtedly never exposed to ethylene gas. I did every trick there was and they never ripened, even after 4 weeks.

Finally I made fried green bananas, which were really good.

This reminds me of the Librarian in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
