Do you have a link to the mice study? That sounds interesting.

How am I admitting it’s more than CICO? What I said aligns directly with CICO. If you eat junk, you are eating high calorie dense foods, and people tend to eat more because it’s not as filling. That’s literally CICO. You eat more calories, and you gain weight.

The reason dieticians recommend not actually counting calories is because people suck at it, as was mentioned before. By telling them to eat healthy, low calorie foods, it makes it basically impossible to eat too many calories due to the giant volume of food you would need to eat.

In the end it all boils down to calories. You cannot escape the laws of physics. You can’t gain mass without adding mass.

I agree it’s not possible to count exactly how many calories you burn. The basic idea is you guess how many you burn and consume that amount of calories each day. If over weeks/months you are gaining weight then you are eating too many calories, and you adjust, until your weight is stable. Now you know roughly how many your burn in a day. It’s literally that simple.

1000 calories of pizza and 1000 calories of broccoli is the exact same from a weight gain point of view. If your maintenance calories are 2000, and you eat exactly 2000 calories of pizza, and only pizza, you will not gain weight. You’ll be extremely unhealthy in other ways due lack of proper vitamins.

Also 2000 calories of pizza is doable in one sitting, and you won’t feel very full so it would be easy to eat more, but good luck eating 2000 calories of broccoli in a day, the volume of food is much higher.

Holy fuck this makes so much sense and I hate it.

I’d make my own studio ghibli paintings.

Spoiler alert, it’s still calories in calories out. Some people burn fewer calories as a baseline, (Called NEAT) which means they can’t eat quite as much without gaining weight.

The biggest issue is most people are absolutely horrible at counting calories. They think they consumed 2000 in a day, but it was actually 3000 because they didn’t count pop, beer, snacks, condiments etc.

If one is truly in a calorie deficit, no amount of bad genetics will keep them from losing weight.

That’s just the default. At some point a while ago I got a pop up about making a username, which for YouTube I don’t care about at all. So I just clicked the button accepting whatever it gave me.

The guy down the street from me with a giant “Trump 2024” flag probably wants it. Fucking traitor.

I know you probably just typed a random small number, but you’re gunna need at least 10 more zeros to be close. Absolutely mind boggling

I was talking with a coworker a few months ago, who to my surprise was a big Tesla supporter. He was convinced Elon would take personal accountability for FSD because it was THAT good. I told him he’s living in a fantasy world.

Ok sure, they aren’t routing, just using P2P like I mentioned. It’s still not possible to access remotely without using plex services. This is what you are paying for. If you don’t want to pay for their auto-config remote streaming it’s easy enough to do it yourself.

Because he’s right. You can’t access your own server remotely without plex’s infrastructure (provided you don’t just set up that infrastructure yourself). You don’t need to open ports or anything. Your server reaches out to plex server, which creates an entry point to your network. Your stream is then either routed through their servers or possibly setup as P2P stream.

All it means is you can’t go through their servers. If you setup a different way to access your network (VPN) it’ll still work.

SSD stands for Solid State Drive. Hard drives have spinning disks, they wear out much faster, especially in portable devices like a laptop. They are also MUCH slower than SSD’s. System responsiveness is going to be way better with an SSD. Just changing HDD to SSD, a super slow, nearly unusable system, can become completely usable for day to day activities.

Might be hard at that price point but try to avoid anything with a hard drive. You definitely want an SSD.

If you feel adventurous it’s really not difficult to swap a hard drive for SSD, if you are ok doing that it will open up a lot more options.

Even Steven’s anyone?

Not sure if it’s changed by now but a lot of the social apps for Android would just take a screen grab when taking a picture, so when uploading from Android the pics looked much worse than iPhone.

I don’t think this is actually true. Pretty sure if you feed it naked adults and clothed children it can figure out the rest.

Damn fine print!

I once ordered two mugs from Etsy. It was literally two mugs in a cardboard box. No bubble wrap, no nothing. Arrived in about 8 pieces.

Get a glass of water and a straw. Plug your ears, drink through the straw for absolutely as long as you can. Has never not worked for me, used to have a hell of a time getting rid of hiccups.
