  • Finding a brand of protein bar that you genuinely enjoy eating is a huge deal.

    I have my preferred brand and when I have 1 or 2 I feel like I just had some chocolate bars, while its still a fair chunk of calories its also 50g of protein and not much fat or sugar.

  • I track my macros. I have a jar of Chilli Crisp and a jar of hot honey on hand at all times.

    If I make my lean chicken tacos for dinner and Ive got a bunch of carbs left i put the hot honey on, if I have fats left over I use the Chilli Crisp, if Im running light on both just a small pinch of chilli powder.

  • It sounds super counter intuitive but I recommend newbies weigh themselves multiple times a day for the first few weeks or months and write down the date and time of each new low (or use a tracking app) to get used to the idea that your weight fluctuates wildly throughout the day.

    Just because you got a bad weigh-in doesnt mean the diet didnt do anything all week. A salty carb heavy meal last night (that was still within calories) can fuck up a weigh-in bigtime.

  • Creatine is LITERALLY the only supplement that almost everyone and every study agrees.

    1. Has a measurable physiological effect.
    2. Has next to zero side effects.
    3. Is incredibly cheap.
    4. Is universally beneficial for anyone training in almost every sport/activity.

    Anything else the answer to "Should I take..." is at best "It depends" and in most cases "No". Its the only one if people arent taking it I'd ask "Why not?"

  • My favorite stupid unit of measurement is "A gram of protein per cm of height" for protein intake for very overweight people who have no idea what their lean body mass is or should be.

    It sounds ridiculous but for 90% of people it puts you within 10% of correct and usually errs on the high side.

  • BCAA's are essentially bullshit 99% of the time because if you're getting adequate complete high quality proteins from food (including whey or quality plant protein shakes) they contain all the amino acids your body can use.

    Honestly, the flavor is all down to the brand. But water just gets boring as shit if you're drinking a lot.

  • Fundamentally you're right. If you get absolutely everything 100% scientifically perfect for you, your circumstances, your genetics, etc you will always see better results than the person eyeballing it. But its like 200% more effort for an extra 25% gains, the minutiae of this shit goes as deep as you care to look and thats what drowns a lot of new enthusiasts.

  • Its a pretty common unit when it comes to discussing dietary protein around bodybuilding and fitness because 1g per lb is a super easy conversion for people to remember. Its kind of the golden number because even for people not getting the best sources of protein 1g per lb almost guarantees anyone other than edge cases and steroid users are getting more than enough to support optimum growth and recovery.

  • The following are quotes from the Guy Ritchie film "Revolver" see if any of this sounds like the last 12 years in America...

    “IN EVERY GAME AND CON THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPPONENT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A VICTIM.”

     
            “RULE #1: “IF YOU WANT TO GET SMARTER, PLAY A SMARTER OPPONENT.”
    
        RULE #2: “THE MORE SOPHISTICATED THE GAME, THE MORE SOPHISTICATED THE OPPONENT.”
    
        “THE BIGGER THE ENVIRONMENT, THE EASIER THE CONTROL.”
    
        “THE OPPONENT SIMPLY DISTRACTS THEIR VICTIM BY GETTING THEM CONSUMED WITH THIER OWN CONSUMPTION.”
    
        “THE BIGER THE TRICK, THE OLDER THE TRICK, THE EASIER IT IS TO PULL.”
    
        “YOU BELIEVE IT CAN’T BE THAT OLD, AND IT CAN’T BE THAT BIG FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE FALLEN FOR IT.”
    
        “EVENTUALLY WHEN THE OPPONENT IS CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED, IT MEANS THE VICTIM’S INVESTMENT AND THUS, HIS INTELLIGENCE IS QUESTIONED. NOONE CAN ACCEPT THAT, NOT EVEN TO THEMSELVES.”
    
        “YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND A GOOD OPPONENT IN THE VERY LAST PLACE YOU WOULD EVER LOOK.”
      
  • Tesla isnt one company, its the parent company. Tesla Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary.

    But other than that you raise a fair point. It entirely depends on when the rebate is issued, it depends if its issued on the planned manufacture of the car, the car entering production, when its produced or when its sold. I assumed that when it was first registered for road use with the government with its first owner.

    We're kind of splitting hairs on this given that its hypothetical until we figure out their rort. But if you look up a cars history of ownership, it doesnt show the manufacturer or the dealership. They own a car shaped asset with a hypothetical value, it isnt until money changes hands and the car is registered/taxed by the govt that it has an "owner" and that seemed the most likely point to issue any kind of rebate or incentive to produce EVs because thats the point thats hardest to do sneaky shit like try and scam the government.

    Yeah its probably against the rules, but Elon has no respect for rules.

  • If thats what they did How is it fraud?

    Companies can own assets, provided they filled out all the correct paperwork, paid the taxes and insurances or whatever Canada does they now "Own" the cars and can do with them as they please. Including sell them. Provided they dont misrepresent the cars as "brand new" and sell them as "used cars" then its not fraud.

    Doing it on this scale is dodgy as hell which is why the Govt froze the rebates. But I absolutely beleive Elon would do something like.this to prop up the sales numbers and stock price while forcing the Canadian govt to either make an issue of it (which means he can play victim) or let him get away with it. (Ego boost)
