I get around this problem by having ~10 very important files that I shoehorn into all situations

Britain has a Vagina Museum! They’re active on Mastodon too, actually. Top tier posters, highly recommend a follow

Woah!

Well to be fair it also has a really nice cnc aluminum enclosure, high quality mechanical switches suitable for live performance, and is hand assembled by one guy.

And to be even more fair, he made the software available. So if you want to just buy the $35 controller and build your own enclosure for cheap then you can with no real restrictions, which is awesome.

Imo it’s a great price for a small batch boutique item; it’s cheaper than a lot of plasticky buggy grooveboxes being put out by major corporations. It’s very high on my list of things to pick up if I become suddenly wealthy lol

Check out the revised Kurzgesagt script, they have pretty much the best and most up to date collection of research papers at the moment

I actually was introduced to the topic by Mike Israetel when he was reviewing Herman Pontzer’s research. So when I watched the original Kurz I was super confused because it seemed to make a different conclusion than the work they were citing. I’m glad they made the revised version

Yeah the body compensates for it to an extent.

You know how lot of people report exercise makes them feel better? Releases dopamine, relaxes them. A result is that they actually fidget less, their heart rate slows, and other energy burning processes in their body relax.

The buffer is relatively large in fact, like possibly over 200-400 calories per day depending on the person. I think of it as the body’s flywheel for keeping an energy balance.

One should keep exercising, for the numerous benefits. There also is a point where you are burning calories that need to be made up (either through eating or weight loss), ask any endurance athlete. Just not likely to hit the threshold in 20 mins on the treadmill, which is what many people do for exercise

That misses the question a bit, no? Everything that is wrong to do is a personal choice. It’s not relevant to whether or not it should be done

Oh interesting! Yeah some classic fediverse weirdness lol.

This is the response I was referring to, if that’s at all helpful

But yeah, tough topic in general. It doesn’t help that everyone you meet will confidently proclaim that they know the real truth and everyone else is wrong (much as I am doing now, lol). But ultimately the important thing is finding something that you can happily continue doing for the rest of your life

I was planning to write up a longer response but the other one you got is very detailed and accurate. But yeah basically cutting carbs just makes you miserable and makes it harder to exercise. The reason it’s a popular recommendation is because it often causes a very dramatic (but very temporary) drop in water weight. So people torture themselves for a month, lose 20 pounds on the scale, and are forevermore convinced that they have “cracked the code” on weight loss. They rarely mention that they instantly regained all of the weight when they inevitably quit the diet lol

It’s sadly very difficult to find good information because of how much noise and misinformation there is out there. I apologize if this sounds conspiratorial, but even primary care doctors are a pretty poor source of info as they receive no special training in weight loss. Whole situation is just a mess tbh

Something cool to check out is the national weight control registry, which is the largest study of people who have lost significant amounts of weight and kept it off.

We can see that most people who are successful don’t rely on some sketchy elimination diet, but rather build a lifestyle around more simple things. Such as having breakfast every day, prioritizing exercise, and keeping an eye on their weight by weighing regularly

Carbs are not bad for you at all btw. Just something people say a lot without any basis in reality. On the contrary, eliminating carbs is going to make achieving fitness goals prohibitively difficult for 95% of people

Yeah, come to think of it, what’s up with that one anyway?

Derek is a pretty awful person, as a heads up.

Spoilers for nsfw just in case
