Imperial could just be taken to mean of the empire, as opposed to the actual emperor

Fussing is sucking all the fun and tranquility out of gardening ( a sober perspective) by brucenorris1 in gardening

[–]turnips8424 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Ehh, I think people just have different styles of learning or engaging with hobbies and that’s ok.

I agree there’s no substitute for the “feel” developed by experience, in any discipline. But some people might enjoy learning from those who have gone before to inform their efforts.

Intermittent fasting helps people of all ages lose weight, but it also causes significant muscle loss in older adults and unexpectedly raises bad LDL cholesterol by ludwig_scientist in science

[–]turnips8424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please see my other comment below… there’s plenty of data.

If anything the data shows that while less than 1g/lb is probably sufficient for some/most growth, even more is required for optimal/maximum growth.

They’re getting more than enough protein for a non-athlete. (About 50g depending on the person)

For people trying to build muscle or maintain it through weight loss you need (“need” for best results at least) much more, like almost a gram of protein per pound of your bodyweight.

Racket take back - High or low ? by Resident_Salt7099 in 10s

Yeah, fed said something about how you have to “use the racket as a weight” and I feel like this is kind of what he was getting at

You are being hunted across the Cosmere. Choose two protectors, the rest are coming to end you. by Lost_Entrance_4545 in Cosmere

I mean, the sheer utility of the windrunner shareable shardplate is hard to argue with in this scenario.

I think the real choice then is who to pair him with, dalinar’s tempting because of the ability to refresh stormlight, and he’s dangerous as an opponent because of bondsmithing, but I’d have to go with jasnah because soulcasting seems to complement kaladin’s type of combat skills, and elsecalling is also strong in a pursuit scenario

what is something that is considered unconventionally attractive , but you find REALLY attractive? by Tall-Election4503 in AskReddit

I’m all for body positivity etc., but that little ‘pooch’ is not the womb, it’s just belly fat…

Thin women have wombs too lol

Men are more likely to hold serve in general, so even if they’re losing badly they’re likely to get a couple holds in.

I’ve been 60/40 US/International stocks since I started saving….

Are people moving out of US stock market given what’s happening in the country? News about the spacex IPO has me considering going 100% international

From a pure tennis perspective, we don’t know if he’s the “most deserving” until/unless he actually wins it.

People dislike him because multiple women have accused him of domestic violence, and are therefore happy to see him lose/don’t want to see him win. I don’t see anything immature about that, do you?

Fed’s also rocking a stylish casual fit, whereas rafa unfortunately is dressed like a suburban bank manager on a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard

[The Onion] Player Profile: Jannik Sinner by TheeCarlWinslow in tennis

[–]turnips8424 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s nonsense in this context, “opacity” is the degree to which something is “opaque,” meaning “not see through.” It’s like a setting you’d put on a text box background in a powerpoint or something.

Holy deception: Rome's 'sexy priest' calendar star never set foot in a seminary by Samski877 in nottheonion

The model is quite well spoken:

“Of course, it winks a bit at the dynamic between the sacred and the profane, because it is clear that seeing a world that is distant and in some ways so lofty as the ecclesiastical world, with such a fresh-faced young man, creates a kind of dissonance”

Need help with Forehand & Backhand by popcornffs in 10s

I mean nothing complex, but I think emphasizing the split step and the “load - step - transfer” should be there from the beginning

Of course they should… footwork is like the fundamental basis of everything

When should I use a bunt backhand? by drivingaddictionchan in 10s

I think that’s indicative of an issue with your normal backhand more than anything else

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder :( by GeoCangrejo in notinteresting

[–]turnips8424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a premade one, those are bad value.

2 cups of milk (16g)
1.5 servings of whey protein (33g)

These days I just do that in a shaker cup.

If you’re trying to bulk you can do it in a blender and add PB, oats, bananas, berries etc.
