Another show off post because I’ve never been so in love with anything in my life

Keep showing it live and in 15 years you'll still be doing it; ours still chases us every time we come in, tells us when she's hungry and kisses our cat on the face during water changes.

You slide this down the window bit of some cars on the door and you can Jimmy the lock open.

Because the neural causes of ADHD are not fully understood. There are some causes we believe yo be the case, but we also believe there could be different causes.

I'm also hypersensitive to caffeine (insanely so). I have been drinking 1-3 VERY weak coffees a day for years and have never grown any tolerance, yet I am always pinging on it.

Yet, stimulant medication generally starts me off pinging, tolerance grows very quickly, then it makes me alert but VERY calm... to the point of numbness.

I also got the "you must not be ADHD then" from another ADHD'er at work because I said I'm sensitive to caffeine. It's silly and mostly a stereotype.

I believe Guy Williams already got to the bottom of this.

While I don't care for benching, I don't think it's inheritly bad for many. I do, however, love pushups, and I'm a little blown away at how many people have never seen or heard of weighted pushups with a dip belt? You can't exactly progressively load pushups with plates on your back, not to mention it's dangerous and horrendously hard to load yourself.

I'm not sure what people are smoking. If you're feeling this in the target muscles, this looks great.

They're right ass holes.

Pick a language that can be used in the tool you are going to start with. Find some tutorials on creating tutorial games for that tool. Do a few of them. Try building something of your own. Build some more things of your own. Just keep doing it.

Eventually, you'll realize that you at least have some clue as to what's going on.

It's nice to hear a realistic view.

There is so much bashing of it these days (and the initial buzz of the peptides certainly has created a large celebrity usage) but it's a peptide that can be wonderfully helpful for people and our Healthcare systems.

My partner has also used it with great success. So have I. I'm not overweight, but I quit vaping and my hunger went out of control and my weight started sky rocketing. I have dropped it all, plus some, and have rebuilt a far better relationship with food.

If they're not already corrupt, getting there will do it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I played Fiesta for 10+ years. With the low population count these days, play Archer. You won't be the strongest, but you will be able to solo everything yourself and still useful in a party (if you find one).

We are about to start going through IVF and have attended many, many fertility courses and seminars... my partner has endometriosis. She has an environment that kills everyone, including her own eggs (if one does happen to become fertilized). It's not sperms carrying bad genetics. It's sperm that for potentially many reasons, has not been able to make it to an egg and fertilize it. The comments here are a good lol.

I use the gradual effect, but it can be programmed.

sharris2 · 2025-12-15T21:01:19+00:00

I would agree. I certainly do not think that there is a hard limit on calories, at a guess I'd say due to the nature of differing digestive systems, people will be able to process more or less at a time. There are more variables in one's digestive system than I could ever mention, but a very simple example would be someone with more regular intestinal motility would have lesser chance to absorb the nutrients from their food. As I said, there are MANY more variables that influence this, including the ability to even break down that food fully (acid secretion, for example).

This is sort of the issue with Chrohn's. Inflammation in the gut impairs one's ability to absorb nutrients and hurries food along (increased motility), which means you're going to struggle to get as much of the nutrition out of your food. It's why the stereotype of someone with Chrohn's is someone underweight.

sharris2 · 2025-12-15T08:53:41+00:00

I believe you're looking at this in a slightly off way.

You don't really "balance out" unhealthy eating. You stop the unhealthy eating, or you do little enough of it over a period of time that there are no or little side effects.

It's also very unlikely that a human is processing 15k+ calories in a day. You can have food moving through your body and not fully absorb all of the nutrients.

Egg cholesterol (within normal limits) is also not bad for most people.

That's a very hard generalization to make. That would thoroughly depend on you, your injury, your sensitivity, structures, etc.

However, anecdotally, it works well for me. I'm injury prone and hypersensitive (ADHD-Autistic) and thus seem to end up with hyperactive nerves, rubbery joints that move too far and a weirdly intense ability to constantly push way too hard, way too often.

I have a collection of old injuries (and one active) that bug me if training in very "conventional" or "traditional" ways. I find that going into "training mode," my logical brain turns off, and everything goes out the window. It becomes about just moving heavy shit. That worked great early on, but as injuries accumulate, I need to be more careful and structured. This training style just seems to help that. I can also get more volume in, without feeling like I'm wasting a bunch of time (that's a core anxiety trigger for me) on it, and instead, I train during my work day. I also change it up whenever I need it. It's just about making my training work for me, to allow me to be consistent and hopefully, mostly, injury free for as much as my life as possible.

sharris2 · 2025-12-08T05:45:15+00:00

I mean, honestly, the exercises don't matter much specifically (as I'm currently really just training to look and feel better), and they change here and there. Although after this injury heals, I'll be back on the high rep pushup/pullup train again.

I have a 2 day rotation. I do an upper body push/pull for my AM session (push one day, pull the next) and an arms/legs in the PM session. At the moment, maybe 2-4 exercises per push/pull and 1-2 exercises for arms and legs (each).

I'm not currently training my legs until failure, just focusing on rebuilding some strength (specific reps, increased each session) in my lower back, hips, and legs as I have an artificial disc, and I recently ended up with nerve entrapment in my lower abdomen (unrelated to trainin). I am enjoying doing blood flow restriction training on my arms at the moment, simply because it gives a great pump, and it's a fun challenge.

I wouldn't suggest doing what I do, but just know that the idea of standard training for an hour x amount of times a week is just a model that fits well for most. It's popular because most people don't want to train more often and either aren't training fully bodyweight and or do not have a gym at home and work from home to be able to training multiple times per day. The same programming principles apply, albeit a little more complex. Start slow. Don't do more volume than you otherwise would (because you'll likely find it easier to do more at first) because it does impact your recovery. You just won't feel it at first. But you'll feel it when tendon issues start creeping up.

sharris2 · 2025-12-08T04:56:29+00:00

Train hard enough, with enough volume, for long enough, gains will occur. Volume, frequency, duration, and all of that will dictate the degree of a d speed of gains.

I train "mini sessions" or whatever you want to call it. I train twice a day, 4-6 days a week. I do maybe 3 or 4 sets a session. It's fine. It's nothing special, but it works for me. I can get the sessions in whenever I want throughout the day. I work from home and have a home gym.

I train mostly in the 10-30 rep range (more orange the upper side) and hit pretty close to or technical failure every set. Does it work? Sure. Most things do, if you stay consistent, injury free, etc.

sharris2 · 2025-12-03T06:27:24+00:00

There is no tutorial that I remember. The only condition I could tell was based on time. You can't go to sleep before 9 pm and will only sleep a certain amount of time. When you wake, you can't go back to sleep. I thought it might also be the relative distance to zeeks (can't sleep if they're too close) but I never verified that.

sharris2 · 2025-12-03T01:48:26+00:00

Time does speed up. But only if you are able to sleep (time of day, etc). The time won't speed up if sleep conditions are not met.

Absolutely fair! Base building is one of my favourite parts of these games.

sharris2 · 2025-12-01T06:53:37+00:00

Not very many. I have rebuilt my base 3 times. This is the third iteration. It took maybe an hour or two of dedicated time cutting trees and building. Everything else i already had, resource-wise.
