I have a variant of this I love. 2-3 lbs Chicken breast coated in taco seasoning and enough chicken broth to cover most of it. Cook on high for 3 hours. Drain the liquid, add half a block of cream cheese and half a cup of salsa, shred the chicken and add it to the now melted goo in the pot. Stir and eat. You might need some time for it to heat back up.

My other favorite is a chuck roast and a big jar of pickled peppers. Cook it for 8 hours on low. Shred it, strain it onto toasted ciabatta rolls with a couple slices of provolone and Dijon mustard.

Quip was pretty awful compared to Sonicare.

It’s like posting on digg via Reddit except both are self hosted instead of corporate. Instances will also defederate if they decide they are incompatible.

I heard three different Old School quotes at work today from different people in independent circumstances. ❤️

Every instance is like a different forum, and they can choose to “federate” with others to provide a somewhat seamless experience. You only have an account at one instance but others recognize that and vice versa. Each instance can have communities, similar to subreddits, focusing on different content. You can follow, comment, and post in communities hosted on other instances that federate with your instance. Each instance has its own rules and culture.

When I am seeding a torrent with less than 5 seeders I just let it go forever. So far I have about 15 of those. Eventually I’ll have to drop them… but I’ll be there hero until then.

Sundried tomatoes. Goat cheese.

In Brazil I ate pizza with ketchup and mayo on it all the time. It was a thing there. The ketchup was a bit thinner and less sweet than Heinz.

Spring - it’s nice to see everything turning green again but all the trails are closed because everything is a muddy mess. 40s and wet is way worse than 0s and dry.

Summer - summer where I live is perfect. 70s during the day, 50s at night. Sleep with the windows open, wake up to birdsongs. All the outdoor activities.

Fall - cooler summer with better views, leaf season here is spectacular. We also have a massive bird migration that is fun to watch. All the hiking and biking I want.

Winter - can’t get enough snowboarding and fat biking. Some days it is cold AF but that is easily addressed with clothing and gear. Sometimes I wear ski goggles to go for a walk.

So in short, my favorite season is everything but spring lol.

I play several a day in an app for the last 10+ years and don’t recall ever guessing. I do sometimes need a hint but the hint is always one of the strategies someone else here linked that I overlooked.

Forbidden by company policy. Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol. Federally regulated manufacturing in the US.

I have worked in 6 different manufacturing companies in the US and none of them allow it. Must be a safety and liability thing.

I have read sources in the past that suggest endurance exercise can slow the decline in max HR. If I find them again I will share here.

In my own experience, I have not lost a single bpm in a decade of tracking.

It’s a good starting point at least. Some folks are lower or higher. If you regularly exercise your max is probably higher than estimated. You can definitely test it with an all out workout such as Tabata intervals and use your real max. The formulas will get you close enough until you’ve tested it. You will also find different max HR for different sports; I found I can get an extra 2bpm running vs cycling, either because biking uses fewer muscles or because I was better at it that running.

Many apps will estimate them for you. The general formula for max heart rate is 220-age (if you’re 30, your max is probably around 190 bpm).

From there, the zones are usually calculated as % of max HR. Zone 5 is 90-100, 4 is 80-90, 3 is 70-80, 2 is 60-70, 1 is 50-60.

For our 30yo above, zone 2 would be around 114-133 bpm. That will feel super slow but that is the point, this is something you could do for a while and it should account for about 80% of your total exercise time in a week.

Edit: if you determine through training that your max is different, adjust it accordingly.

Get a heart rate sensor (wrist or chest) and train by heart rate. Most of your cardio should be heart rate zone 2 on the 5 zone scale. This builds your aerobic capacity with minimal damage and can be done almost indefinitely. Harder efforts do more damage and add recovery time so should be limited to about two a week.

If you’re going slow you’re doing it right, it will suck less, and you’re more likely to continue. Your slow speed will get faster over time.

Nice try, Big VX

I have little need to do that outside of work.

The barriers to doing stuff on a phone are mostly artificial. For most quick computer tasks it is faster to do it on a phone even if it takes longer because I have it on me and it is already on, I don’t have to go to the computer and turn it on.

Last PC I bought was a laptop for school in 2020. Now that I graduated, it is a media server. There are only a few things online I can’t do mobile. There was almost nothing I couldn’t do when I had android.

I use a PC for work but am not going to do personal stuff on it.

Do you have a press or do you abuela that shit with a carbon steel pan and rolling stick?
