- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
i did have some blood tests back in december. everything was within parameters for someone my age & gender.
i’ll try the calories / carbs counting. based on how much i eat, i should be able to add it all up at the end of the day. i remember 10-15 years ago i dropped the sugar from my coffee and also stopped eating bread for a few weeks, and i dropped a few kg. i do eat veggies, it’s not just protein with rice. my kids love a salad with olive oil and lemon juice, and my stir fries and curries also have plenty of them. but noted!
thanks a lot for the tips!

thanks! i commute once or twice per week to the office, and that’s some train, some walking. i average 5k steps per day, but with 10k when I go to the office. yesterday i did just under 1k.
i did check in with a specialist regarding my sleeping issues. it’s… complicated, but i’m working on it, part medication, part cpap machine :)

sorry for hijacking, i am also interested in the subject, commenting here to hopefully get some info. i’m 174cm / 84kg. i wear medium clothes, but my beer muscle shows up, it’s quite big. even through a sweater.
i don’t exercise (i work in it, from home mostly), but also, i barely eat. today i had 3 coffees (no sugar, little milk), some leftover stir fry (veggies, chicken, mie noodles) and an apple, and that’s common. i don’t eat sweets or junk food.
i cook almost every day, usually curries & rice, stir fry, pizza/pasta, soups and stews, but i rarely eat myself. i switch daily between chicken/pork/seafood/tofu/legumes for protein, but there’s always rice or pasta or bread.
i drink a couple beers in a week (on average), i drink very little water throughout the day, maybe half a liter.
i sleep very little too, about 5h on average (less during the week, more on weekends).
where should i start? what’s the most blatant issue on my list? i know, all, but… what would be the first?

55 in a 50? Killer?

They are enforced, of course, but there are large sections of highway with no speed limit.

If it only was that easy. I don’t know if 5km/h over the limit is “speeding”, she just doesn’t pay attention, and we’ve been having this discussion for years… I am trying to convince/teach her how to use the speed limiter, but she always forgets to enable that. And the cameras are not static around here. There are a couple static ones, but the vast majority are mobile. They look like small black boxes on wheels, like a power distribution point. Until you see the flash light :)

Well, tell that to my local traffic authorities. My wife basically has a subscription with them, we get home a monthly invoice for 30€ because she was driving 55-60 km/h in a 50 zone… Complete with a picture of her face and the car’s license plate :)

Oh, I left that for something more practical IT (DevOps now), but I did it as a freelancer for a few years

People here gave really thorough descriptions, but what I remember is that their pamphlets (awake?) have a really cool graphical style, and that mesmerized me as a kid. Not the content itself, but the shadows, the gradients, etc. I went into graphic design because of :) still an atheist though.

I think the issue is consistency. Not making everything look the same, but have a common design language.

So did I, and a lot of people I grew up with. Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel and later on, the Internet.
My teenage kids fluent as well, and that’s almost all of it from watching media. First cartoons and movies (I keep all my streaming services in the native language, and most of them are in English), and now… YouTube.

I read somewhere that certain places have a very large amount of people with lactose intolerance, like north America. I used to drink raw milk, straight from the bucket my grandma used to milk the cow. Never had any issues. Grew up on a farm in Romania in the 80s.

I don’t live so far north, but good, light, waterproof boots. Of course, everything else people recommended already - good gloves, socks, jacket, and layers. But for me personally, boots would be the most important.

I tried playing a couple of times with others, it was not my thing… I personally prefer alone. I have a certain style, I like base building and hoarding, and I go for very long games, usually lasting months IRL. I put in more than 1000 hours over many years, and I never got bored of PZ :)

You can siphon gas with an empty bottle too, you no longer “need” a gas can. It holds a lot less gas, but would work in a pinch.

No one will say 3.658m. We would say about 3.5m or 3 and a half meters. I’m pretty sure those 12’ are not exact either. You wouldn’t say 11 feet, 5 and 1/32 inches, right?
