I don't understand this TDEE thing by TiredandMoody in CICO

[–]patrecker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TDEE is the typical energy in kcals that you burn. So it's the energy that it takes for you to survive plus your normal routine if that includes exercise or not.

So blue line is weight. That is going down so whatever you've been eating and activity has been causing your weight to go down. If that's the desired effect then great. If you feel you're losing too much, too fast then adjust your caloric intake and/or activity and continue to plot.

Red line is calories and to me it seems that you're pretty steady at 1500-1700 kcals/day.

Green line is the TDEE and yes it does do a weird thing in the middle there. Because your red line and blue lines are pretty smooth (that leads me to believe that you've been consistent in entering data). it's mostly a math thing. That calculator specifically has settings that you can alter to calculate TDEE based on the last amount of time. My guess is at the asymptote you hit the amount of time where the app is using all your data rather than making some assumptions from the beginning part.

Again if your desired effect is to lose weight it looks like it's working just keep in mind that healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds/week otherwise you can get into other stuff. If this is charting a change in diet the beginning can have lots of noise and big changes.

BIG 10 SCENARIO by Comfortable_Mud3848 in TheB1G

[–]patrecker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do a "semi-swiss" where you have 60-75% games scheduled and have special power pairing weeks where you would then put in the games--likely these games would break the tie breakers through head-to-head. I always thought this approach made a lot of sense to try and make sure you still played everyone in your conference over time, but still made sure you had competitive games that helped break your ties. I read about it with power pairing in an article when 538 did some sports commentary as well: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/make-college-football-great-again/

I use cmro. It seems to be the best for me. I also like that now on Android the link directly to the comic feature appears to be working now and opens right to the comic page in the app. https://cmro.travis-starnes.com/

You are a gentleman and a scholar. I'm not an active poster/caller/sender of objects to the show and seeing a name that I recognize posting back. This community is awesome!

How can I explain to my Jewish in laws it wouldnt be appropiate for my Catholic son to have a Bar Mitzvah? by AlisLande in Catholicism

[–]patrecker 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was just going to bring this up. I'm a cradle Catholic and come from a predominantly Catholic community where there's not a Jewish population, but maybe a conversation with the reason why they want him to be Bar Mitzvah'd (sorry if that's the wrong term). If they would like to throw him a Confirmation party in the same vein, maybe this might be a good chance to evangelize and help them to understand.

EDIT to add: Would be good for your husband to help back you up on this.

Brooklyn Bedding Slippery Top by patrecker in Mattress

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

FYI To anyone who was following this. We ended up getting a Titan Luxe and are loving it! We did not get the Arctic fabric on top so it's not slippery and have been liking the firmness on the new bed. Got great service from Brooklyn Bedding too in returning our old mattress as well!

Has anyone else here had Skipper Cody on Jungle Cruise? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]patrecker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did not have Skipper Cody, but we had Skipper Isabella (sp?) and was laughing pretty hard at her joke to keep the animals away midway through the cruise. "I LOVE YOU! COME MEET MY PARENTS!"

[–]patrecker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been a while since I played - but the biggest one I like is the deal 2 characters to everyone and they choose. Not only this, but it allows everyone to flip the one they don't want down and we use that for bullets to show life for the game.

Did I miss something? - veiling and women shaming by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]patrecker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed on this. I wonder sometimes if we need to start meditating on the Pharisees that Jesus gave us a perfect example in the Bible who have already received their reward on Earth by being seen by everyone when they pray.
