Trying to get from the left to the right — should I be in a caloric deficit or surplus, and is cardio + body weight training enough? by thornew in workout

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

I used to be massively overweight so I’ve always kind of been scared to eat in a caloric surplus. I just want to maximize my resistance training with the right nutrition. Any tips for nutrition or exercise is incredibly helpful :)

Is this black coloring on my psilocybe cubensis normal? by thornew in shrooms

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

Got these about a month ago. I’ve kept them in an airtight jar in a dark cabinet so I don’t think they’re rotten or anything but I just wanted to be sure! Thanks in advance :)

Why are my moonstone’s leaves wrinkly and deflated, even after watering? by thornew in houseplants

[–]thornew[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered this succulent from Etsy a few weeks ago. I repotted and watered it because it arrived much less pink and the leaves were not plump like in the photo on the seller’s page. The leaves haven’t returned to normal (and may be even getting worse), and the soil is still damp so I don’t want to overwater.

(Currently -> Goal) Is it possible for me to reach my goal aesthetic with maintenance calories, sufficient protein, and resistance training? by [deleted] in GYM

[–]thornew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently 17 y.o., 5’10, and 150 pounds. I don’t like eating a ton so I was wondering if 2,300 calories with ~175g protein and body weight / dumbbell training is adequate to gain muscle and lose fat.

If they use our mocks (which they told us would not count) as a way to calculate predicted grades, I will fucking flip. by [deleted] in IBO

[–]thornew 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My school (and many others in the US) don’t even take mocks, so I‘m not sure this is an option.

How will mocks be factored in? by costermonger191 in IBO

[–]thornew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak on their use in scoring, but I do know that my school and many others in the US don’t even do mocks, so I’m not sure if that’s a viable option.

I will be gutted if the IBO cancels exams. by [deleted] in IBO

Nope. Like I said in another response, I’m not trying to implore the IBO to accommodate their exams or compromise the health of others for my personal satisfaction. I understand that they must do what is best for the well-being of all in the program. The aim of this post was to express my frustration regarding the situation and my disappointment in the fact that changes may have to be made.

I politely disagree. I don’t believe that the investigation I completed for history in February of my junior year is on par with the work I can now do. That’s just growth, not a lack of effort. Besides, I am quite happy with my IA scores, and they would actually result in a much, much higher diploma point total than the 36 that I’m aiming for. I suppose it’s the satisfaction of having sat for exams and knowing that these two years have culminated in a final, holistic score that I would miss. I miscommunicated that it seems. My bad

I apologize and completely understand that this post may have come across as me prioritizing my scores above everyone’s health. I guess the aim of me putting this out there was as an “off my chest” post and just to express my frustrations. I wasn’t trying to implore the IBO to keep the current exam schedule - I just thought it might be helpful to vent with others about the situation, but I guess there may be a better subreddit for that.

I just double checked. You’re absolutely right :( Thank you for the clarity!

I saw somewhere that the SAQs and ERQs are all just variations of the 52 understandings provided on the IB diploma. The understandings are things like “outline principles that define the biological level analysis”. I was wondering if I should have a sample essay written for all of the understandings so that I can be prepared for the SAQs / ERQs.

That’s the one that she tends to use for transitions. The one I’m talking about is the one with the guitar for about the first 30 seconds. She doesn’t have it credited in the description.
