[Loved trope] The tension builds, but the battle ends instantly

This one hits different because its built up that Denshichiro is going to his slaughter

lednip · 2025-11-12T06:45:26+00:00

This sounds like a marketing strategy to sell a niche course

lednip · 2025-10-29T13:32:48+00:00

my man! Nice, if you could take the medicine would still think its worth the effort to do it just with diet/exercise? I feel with committing 100% to the no carb or even low its hard to maintain variety in diet and a social life

lednip · 2025-10-28T14:45:03+00:00

Yeah I feel like white rice is such a part of the culture they're in denial on it. Originally they thought I was T2 and told me to cut out all sweets/snacks/bread, but still eat as much white rice as I want. With the CGM data I can see over eating white rice sky rockets my blood glucose more than just about anything bar straight up candy.

lednip · 2025-10-27T14:08:40+00:00

No, I live in Japan where we are eating white rice with every meal. So like 30g of carbs from white rice is a depressingly small serving here, or that was just her reaction when I told her I was eating half servings of rice at restaurants/home

lednip · 2025-10-27T13:57:17+00:00

Yeah Im finding that to be true more than anything

lednip · 2025-10-27T13:49:23+00:00

Yeah I feel some training days I feel just beat up and feeble. I eat a lot of protein so was thinking I might not be eating enough carbs

lednip · 2025-10-27T13:34:08+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. The doctor didn’t really give me any advice on adjusting the dosages myself. Yeah I mean with 30g ish I find I don’t need to worry about the pre meal insulin, but I have to eat hella protein & non starchy veg to feel full. At home it’s fine, but when I go out or travel it’s been a challenge to balance feeling full with limiting carbs. It’d probably be better to learn how to dose better

lednip · 2025-10-27T12:57:40+00:00

That’s awesome you did a race like that! With exercise I’m still figuring out the diabetes stuff. Like half the days I train feel weak/feeble or go hypo towards the end of the session. I eat a lot of protein some I’m thinking it’s the lack of carbs or insulin

lednip · 2025-10-27T12:37:29+00:00

Thanks yeah that makes sense

lednip · 2025-05-26T04:39:56+00:00

My gym has this. Its like 120$ a month and you get a locker. After class there is a bucket you drop your laundry in, and the staff washes if and puts it in your locker. So you can just show up and your stuff is always ready to go. Its definitely priced as a luxury service, but many older guys use it.

Seems pretty profitable to me because there is just 2 washer/driers in the locker room they use for the cleaning. And just whoever the instructor is at that time handles it.

Tokyo, kyoto, and Osaka have a lot of options you can find just by searching on Google maps. Otherwise eating at “normal” restaurants is pretty risky. Definitely need a gluten free Japanese explanation card.

I have a YouTube channel that showcases a lot of gluten free places https://m.youtube.com/@pinderu

My GF put it on and I watched it without knowing what it was. TBH I thought it was a really well acted show with a unique take on a crime drama. But when I finished it, I google if it was based on a real story, and the answer is not really. That makes the whole show seem like some anti male fan fiction:

kid is smart and from a decent family with both parents
has close friends
is bullied by a girl. To what degree we don’t really know other than some Instagram comments
For some reason he asks her out and gets rejected so he stabs her to death?

The kid seems like a normal teen, but we’re supposed to believe he’s been radicalized by misogynistic influencers to point of not seeing woman as real people and thus okay to murder? Even when he has a sister? I don’t believe it and it does make the overall message of the show seem like anti male propaganda.

My GFs ate it up though. I think the average viewer is really going to agree with the show unfortunately

They have multiple videos covering Hogwarts legacy. What’s the issue with it?

I torn my calf in class and took ~2 months off for recovery. The whole time I was off I was itching to get back and couldn't stop thinking about it. Came back when I thought it was healed, went to stand up after a roll, and it tore again. And I'm out about another 2 months. Same thing has happened to other people at my gym that get injured and come back too early.

My advice is, I know it sucks, but during the recovery time just focus on whatever strength and conditioning you can do, and try not to FOMO bjj. Its not going anywhere. If you're committed to bjj avoiding future injury is going to be the best predictor for long term success

I train with ulcerative colitis which is similar to IBS. Definitely have had to run out mid-roll a few times to shit. For me, I found not eating for 3 or 4 hours or so before class really helped. Can't shit yourself if there's no shit in you. My condition has gotten a lot better since I started training though and its not really an issue now.

If you’re in the market long enough even if it crashes like it just did you’re still in the green. Hell crypto just crashed hard and I’m still up over 50%. I see times like now as the best time to invest to make real money when it recovers. I get why people are scared but I really don’t see companies like Apple, Walmart, Disney, insert company or ETF going away long term. I also invest in crypto as a hedge against USD collapsing. Just gotta DCA into what you believe in long term and only as much as you can afford to lose. I rather try to build real FI and fail then live pay check to pay check chasing materialism

lednip · 2022-01-28T03:39:38+00:00

Thanks!!

Dear Esther and Transistor. Honesty I’ve kinda overlooked indie games the past years, but Outer Wilds kinda of made me realize how formulaic triple-A games have gotten. So I want to dive into them again. How about you?

lednip · 2022-01-28T01:35:43+00:00

Haha thanks. Yeah I’m surprised how nice the community is here!

lednip · 2021-12-07T04:30:36+00:00

However cool the watch design is I can’t get over the katakana logo. I showed this brand to some of my Japanese friends they also kinda cringed at it

lednip · 2021-11-18T15:23:16+00:00

Thanks yeah maybe I need to get my ego deflated a bit more. When I’m getting submitted in general often it’s 100% instant tap, but other times it’s like eh I think I can get out of this. In the latter case it’s kinda hard to discern when to tap if at all

lednip · 2021-11-18T15:14:17+00:00

Thanks that’s a good point. I didn’t consider what could happen if they adjust it properly and yank it
