When I worked out more regularly I looked into the extra protein stuff. This is a little off the dome, so excuse my numbers and any inaccuracies. Anyway Theres a lot of broscience out there, but I remember being able to find some scientific evidence that showed some benefit of a higher protein diet. It was more like 0.7-.8g of protein per lb vs the body builder stuff which would want you to essentially get a 1 or more ratio which is insane and absolutely unnecessary.

Even the lesser ratio can be a pain to maintain. Thats like 150g if you're 180lbs vs the recommended 50g of protein. It doesnt sound like a lot, and yeah if you like boneless skinless chicken breast you can get there pretty quick, but if you're maintaining or cutting weight it can be a hassle to it's hard unless you have a protein shake. Some days you can easily pass it depending on what you eat, while other days you have to try. Me? I like my bread, my sides, my potatoes, my noodles, my rice, and etc. These are all things with protein. Just not enough to get to 100+ figure.

I imagine for actual athletes who are able to do more than go to the gym a few days a week and walk a lot they burn enough calories to be able to make up the difference so theyre already eating a lot making the protein easier to achieve. If we're talking about the broscience ratio where you're essentially anywhere from matching your body weight or more in grams of protein then I cant picture an average person sustaining that without putting on a lot of weight or heavily supplementing(and even then whey isnt exactly light in calories for an average sized person who isnt an athlete)

I can believe that the 50g may not be the ideal number and more could be better especially if you are a little active, but there's no way in hell the answer is eating a full on professional body builder ratio of protein.

Suddenly? Nothing sudden about it been going around for years.

As for why it's because it's super easy and if someone gets one of your checks they have your full routing and account number on the bottom which can be easily used to make a fake one or initiate an ach or something. Since its old technology that for some reason banks refuse to update, you get a credit in your account within a few days of deposit while the actual account holder has time to notice they've been robbed or their bank has time to catch any obvious fake checks. In the meantime the fraudster is already free and clear with however many giftcards they got.

Did they manage to fix whatever it is they did with the last few kernels that made the rembrant freezing problem worse, and caused amd gpus to not clock up when playing videogames and get horrible frames?

I look forward to getting it on sale a year or two after its release, but "least buggy" bethesda game still leaves a lot of rooms for bugs. It's like saying the "least buggy and most polished 3d sonic game yet!" . I still expect to sometimes clip through a loopdiloop and die.

One of the biggest issues is how horny the art can be. Western media is guilty of this too if you look at comics made in the late 80s till today, but western comics have started to tone it down in the mainstream(and with how hard the market crashed even mainstream comics were fringe in the 00s) .

Still the horny super saiyan male gaze is the worst and ruins a show. Dragon maid is exhibit A. Even if you age up the 16 year old to 25 and if the camera treated the child character like a child, it would still be a hard sell to someone who isnt already indoctrinated into how anime is. The story itself is fun and wholesome and the animation is great, but the character designs and framing of the women is still just too much. Tits jiggling wildly, distracting angles, situations that should be played straight played SUPER erotically for no reason. Its bad.

Whenever fanservice is criticized there are tons of members of the community who come out of the woodwork to defend it and act like the wanting my media to not be embarrassing is the result of being a prude, or not being sex positive or something when its just like, no this is just objectifying and distracting at best, and at worse it is detrimental to the story.

Of course then you have shows like dragon maid or how heavy are the dumbbells you lift which are ecchi series. Fans of ecchi will come out and say "why are you watching ecchi if you dont want to watch titties bounce. Do you get mad when people have sex in porn?" which is fair, but porn also doesnt represent a significant portion of each tv season and big budgets and quality animation isnt diverted away from other non pornographic projects.

Over sexualization of minors is one of those things that can make it hard(and embarrassing) to be an anime/manga fan.

For high school characters at least(depending on the series) you can usually rationalize it the same way you might with an american show that hires adult actors. Theyre intentionally drawn in a more adult fashion and the characters themselves, while exhibiting cute traits are often still hyper competent and independent in a way that resembles college students more than high schoolers.

Is it still conceptually gross? Absolutely. It's something that you just get desensitized to and I dont think thats a good thing, but at least on some level I can see how it can be tolerated in SOME series depending on how it's handled, but I can also see how it's a deal breaker.

The full on child stuff full stop is gross. All the time. There is no desensitizing and I hate that its so goddamn common in anime and that it's so accepted. To the point that the community has a cute little term for sexualized children that they throw around. In any other community this would be a fringe dark corner of the hobby that never touches the more mainstream stuff, but in anime land it's front and center.

Western New York State. In general our summers into fall are excellent. Spring's kind of lousy tho. Our winters are generally not as bad as our reputation lets on(unless you live parallel to the lake then it's every bit as snowy as they say)

Ah damn. I was wondering why it was still working at all

I havent noticed too much of an uptick but admittedly Ive also been using the site less and the articles I do click on are either dead or ones with civil discourse so I may have just been lucky.

Feels like fall already in my neck of the woods. Weirdly cooled off

Yeah you know yourself better than anyone else, you know how much this + the vacation will set you back in your bank accounts and towards your goal. Relative to downpayments(which range in the tens of thousands to beyond here in the states) 330 is a drop in the bucket. Plus your gpu is like 6 years old and wasnt that much more powerful than the 480 it replaced.

If it were 9 years ago I'd say "wait and see the new gpus are just coming out soon", but this gen has been a bit of a bust for gpus. The Nvidias are expensive or lack vram in the budget space, and the current gen AMDs are also more expensive while offering very minimal gains(and in some cases are power hungry). If anything I'd say aim a little higher and see if you can snag a 6800xt for a good price(and if not stick with that your getting).

But yeah if you have the savings to eat the cost without it being much of an issue, and if this isnt going to awaken the shopaholic deep inside I dont see too much reason to not treat yourself. I'm sorry for coming in as the devil on your shoulder, but your thought process reminds me of my own saving habits and it's important to remind yourself sometimes that it's good to treat yourself!

That gpu is old enough. I dunno it sounds like you've been good about saving. It might be worth it. I went from a 5600xt to a 6800xt and have been quite pleased with my choice.

As long as treating yourself this once doesn't break the damn of spending I don't see an issue

The show managed to be surprisingly great. Superficially it looked like a rick and morty knockoff, but the series really has a good sense of humor while balancing the wacky off kilter fun in a way that still feels like star trek.

In addition to that we've passed that era of Moores law. New hardware is coming out with diminishing returns unless it's big and expensive. We're long past the era of every 2 years hardware is released with exponential returns in power and efficiency rendering everything that came before obsolete.

Hell even from an aesthetic point of view Red Dead Redemption 2 came out almost 5 years ago and with higher settings on PC still holds up as a pretty game. The biggest factor holding graphics back these days is development time and money.

Ive held my buddy's deck a few times, and despite how bulky it is, it is well balanced and feels light in your hands.

Otherwise for streaming it's a linux PC so if youre downloading files or using plex/jellyfin(or even a legit streaming service the BS with browser DRM on some services not giving you full hd doesnt matter as much on a small 720p screen) you can have it auto play, or use kde connect to remote control with your phone and etc.

According to memory alpha there is a starfleet training command:

Which makes sense. We know universities and such are around. Trip is an engineer, hoshi was a uni professor.

Yeah. Ubuntu has kind of taken a turn over the years but its still a super user friendly distro and they have done a lot to make linux more accessible for the masses. They also serve as a base for a number of other distros to build off of an as a result theyre an easy choice for a newbie to gravitate towards.

I hope they consider finding a way to make linux support a bit less clunky. I know its a bit more daunting because instead of just finding the c: drive you gotta find a bunch of proton/wine directories of windows that these games are hidden in, but it'd be nice for it to work a little bit better as long as I point it in the right direction.

See I agree that it's good to be small, but I also feel like it would be nice to have more niche communities as well. Before reddit was a thing small message boards still filled with small niche communities that spoke and interacted with one another.

I agree we dont need to become a 100 million a day biggest site on the internet, but it would be nice to be a bit more active on some instances.

Cant less democratic regimes do that anyway?
