I’ve had more social interaction with friends outside of class in the past month than anytime since elementary school
Unfortunately, it’s coming at a very bad time.
I also confess that I feel like I’m being too much of a social butterfly since my friend (that one) has far less of a social life
That “comparison is the thief of joy” quote has never been more applicable.
Got a legitimate laugh out of that confession. I dig science lab foods from time to time, but the “pasta” products always fall flat for me.
If this is your first time having those noodles, you may be in for an interesting experience after slamming them. I’ve had situations where they came out in the exact same form they went in. Not necessarily a digestible fiber.
But oh the fun of diet food experiments, haha.
For what its worth, I use a brand called Silver Palate because they have an awesome low sodium marinara, but their stuff is all like 60 cals. per ½ cup serving and quite good. Just tomatoes and some spices, really.
But is he Big Mac index cool?
Macro bad
Too many assumptions to accurately reflect reality, huh?
Nah- too tied to politics and it’s much harder than micro conceptually for me.
On that note: politicians making arguments directly from economists is like someone making a video tutorial of how to squat and filming the last few reps of someone’s high intensity set as “good squat form”
Behavioural economics is like the newly minted personal trainer looking at those last few reps and telling the advanced squatter he has bad form
90% of the assumptions made in Econ theory are to make the maths possible
Its hard to accurately convey the position of hundreds of millions of individual cells moving in every different direction for their own reasons in a 10 second word blurb.
A lot gets lost in translation.
I confess I had fried chicken for the first time
My discord/gym friend and I were going to brunch. The brunch place had a ridiculous line, so he took me to a fried chicken place nearby
The verdict: it’s good, but not any better than the air fried drumsticks I’ve been making. It’s also less healthy and more expensive… Not worth it
I know what this is.
You’re just trying to drive wedges into our online friendship. 
Kidding.
NGL though, it was a lot better than i’d expected.
For one thing, they actually seasoned the chicken well, not just the breading
I confess that…
after multiple days of getting up at 0305 to train, the end of the day will roll around and my workout will have been so long ago that I’ll panic and think I forgot to train that day.
I am way too excited about my bison and liver chorizo that I am eating this week.
That when I GOT that liver sent to my house, I kept laughing to myself at my own pun that “My shipment from piedmontese has been DE-LIVERED!”
That I had a feeling that was borderline inappropriate when my wife inhaled the steak I made for her last night and said she was sad when she ran out of steak.
That I’ve found the secret folks: daily tabata KB front squats. Thank you Dan John: you’re welcome the internet. I actually find reasons to go through my garage so I can hit up my KBs for 4 minutes and then try to compose myself before coming back into the house.
I appreciate everything you do
You are my spirit animal
This is right up there in my list of dad jokes. When ever someone asks is a restaurant delivers ‘do they deliver?’ I always like to answer, ‘no they do chicken, lamb or beef’ It gets the usual roll of the eyes reaction from the misses.
When ever I stray away from the power rack to the dumbell and machines side of the gym, I get annoyed at how many kids (yes I know I am getting old) do completely unnecessary isolation movements with a complete lack of any hard work in their training.
They’ll be the ones wearing $200 shoes, a “Train insane or remain the same” hoodie and any type of pants that covers their shitty calves - and they won’t have even broken a sweat.
I didn’t know you went to my gym
