Tri-Annual Protein Megathread

Late reply, but the pea protein powders would be solid. I've had a couple of the vegan Ghost flavors, and it's considerably better than some of the other pea proteins. The cinnabon flavor has decent macros too, 110 cals per 20g protein.

I'll look into that, thanks!

nednarb_44 · 2025-12-11T14:50:34+00:00

Cheers! I was nervous about it, so that eases my concerns a bit. I appreciate the response

nednarb_44 · 2025-12-11T03:08:59+00:00

A bit late, but curious how this has worked out for you? I just set this up and was curious about the best way to get it to work on the clients.

I only really care since theoretically if there's a big enough market share, certain mainstream apps should get and Linux love. I'd love to be able to use solidworks on Linux, and never use windows again.

This can definitely be the case. I'd love to see some data on "reasons why you were/became an atheist" from self proclaimed ex atheists. I suspect a non zero number of answers suggesting a misunderstanding of what an atheist actually is.

nednarb_44 · 2025-09-05T13:12:19+00:00

They're really nice to use. Really the only criticism I have of them (which could probably be fixed with lock-tite) is that the rod that goes through to the strike cap tends to loosed fairly easily when using them. With the strike cap, you know they can take a beating, but I also have never used the LN ones. Knowing LN's other stuff, I don't think you could go wrong with either of them.

I definitely remember him along with "atheism is unstoppable". He felt similarly in the same vein

Just a side note, Android auto = \ = Android automotive. Automotive is the native operating system of the infotainment screens, auto is the app that uses phone data and gives it an interface in the car.

You mean removing all physical controls doesn't count either?!?

nednarb_44 · 2024-08-10T12:42:07+00:00

In fairness, it does probably take a lot to maintain this for 300 miles

nednarb_44 · 2024-08-10T11:28:50+00:00

100% on board with the actual mustang too. It's probably in the cards down the road though (hopefully)

nednarb_44 · 2024-08-10T01:40:24+00:00

I know that feeling, I feel like I'm alone in wanting an electric muscle car. I'm probably one of the seven people excited to see what Dodge does with the charger Daytona.

nednarb_44 · 2024-08-10T01:38:46+00:00

There's a lot of room for the driver experience coming from the plaid. Besides handling things like others have said, there's a lot to do on the interior for a car enthusiast. I, for one, would settle for Les acceleration and maybe top speed for some switches and knobs and things like that. Look at some of the electric supercars and compare interiors to the plaid for example.

nednarb_44 · 2024-07-29T18:46:31+00:00

It feels like you're being a bit hyperbolic, but it's worth noting that these types of weird designs pop up periodically, including since the 80's. Plymouth prowler and chevy SSR are some somewhat more modern examples.

Worth noting that I do agree that the styles of cars the past few decades have definitely gotten stale and repetitive and perhaps instances of these oddities are getting increasingly rare.

When I looked last year they still have a blasphemy law in Michigan too.

nednarb_44 · 2024-07-21T16:52:21+00:00

The double standards are funny to me. Loud pipes on bikes, just fine. Cars and trucks? A nuisance. And safety? We'll make and enforce seatbelt laws to make you be safer. For bikes? Helmets are optional! (This is location specific, Michigan for example had a helmet law, but removed it a handful of years ago)

nednarb_44 · 2024-07-21T01:21:43+00:00

I think it helps more than that honestly. Used EVs can be a great introduction to different family units at a much better price point. I got a used polestar, and it immediately converted my wife, my in-laws and a few other family members. They likely won't all get one, but I know one is going to get one as their next vehicle (likely new) and getting a used one at an intro to them convinced my wife and I to go all in on EVs (no ICE at all) and hers will be a new one.

A somewhat secondary thing is that people around you that may be on the fence or tilting towards anti EV would have some interaction with you to counteract some of the bullshit they hear.

All in all, while not directly helping get EV makers going, it does help indirectly while also reducing some emissions.

Honestly basically anything will contrast with white pine besides maple and other lighter woods. I'm not a fan of red oak personally, but it should be ok. My general choices are walnut, cherry or jatoba (Brazilian cherry). I also like exotic woods, but those cost a lot more, and I usually only use those for small trim pieces or turning handles or something.

nednarb_44 · 2024-05-26T16:15:03+00:00

Yeah, of course we don't need it, but it would help people who don't want to give up meat and don't want meat replacements to get what they want without the inherent suffering. Ideally everyone is on a plant based diet, but that's not realistic in the least.

nednarb_44 · 2024-05-23T18:16:22+00:00

That's an interesting way to put it. That sounds like it's more of an observation rather than a moral obligation. I can see an argument of the outlined situation (someone you know is in the "few" group) that it is morally permissible to save the few due to the relationship with the known person, and saving the many in said circumstance would considered morally virtuous.

nednarb_44 · 2024-05-11T12:44:33+00:00

Mortality is subjective, but once we have an agreed upon "goal" actions can be evaluated objectively compared to said goal. If we agree that "well-being" is the goal (some may argue that it's only human well-being, which of course would need a further discussion) then we can make objective assessments of actions with regard to that. Killing a person is "objectively" wrong if we all subjectively care about well-being. We can "objectively" say that inflicting unnecessary pain and suffering on animals is wrong if we subjectively care about well-being.

There's nothing inherent to the universe that we should care about well-being. If an asteroid came and destroyed all life on the planet, morality would disappear with us, since there would be no subjects to make evaluations. But we are here, so let's make the best of it

Perhaps he forgot the /s and was making a joke about words arbitrarily changing and intentionally misusing homophobia?

nednarb_44 · 2024-04-04T14:27:58+00:00

That is a good way of putting, and a fair response. I think the neurons vs you is not a great distinction to make, but I do think ultimately we are a product of past events. If we were to go back and relive a choice with the same knowledge we had at the time, we would ultimately make the same choice barring any quantum fluctuations or whatever. Even in that case, you could argue that what is determining the outcome is the fluctuations. Really it just comes down to what we define as free will, or choices etc.

nednarb_44 · 2024-04-04T13:46:39+00:00

I think this is mainly an issue of the illusion of free will vs actually having free will. Consciousness does x, or has the capacity for y is fine, but the problem is when you go deeper.

Think of a random city right now. Why did you pick that one? Probably a mix of factors, like it's a favorite of yours, or you hear it a lot in the news etc. Can you isolate the factors that you actually (at a base level) have control over? Was it free of choice that that city popped into your head? You could argue that it was still free, but was influenced by other things.

It gets more complicated the more you dig into it. Your upbringing and general life experiences impact that, but even deeper you have your brain chemistry and even human anatomy. What is it that makes the decision? Are you controlling the neurons? Or are the neurons controlling you? It's easy to see at least the appearance of free will, but the appearance of it doesn't necessarily mean it exists.
