re: Creatine and weight loss

It doesn’t matter. It’s not something that has an immediate effect on you. It has to “saturate” your system over a period of time (20 days or so), which is why a lot of people ascribe to a “loading” phase in the beginning to make the saturation happen quicker. ...
He surprise dropped a new album a couple of days ago called Visions of Dallas. It's basically the second set of songs from the $10 Dollar Cowboy sessions. "Loretta" is a highlight for me....

[quote]If you search for one single song that you like and play it, after the song ends Spotify will continue to play songs in that genre and I've found a ton of new music that way.[/quote] This for sure. Also: does anyone know if Spotify takes money from the industry? There are certain artists t...

"I Love My Underground Classics" is a solid hip hop list. "Spilled Ink" is another one. "Indigo" is a good alt.country type list. It's definitely easy to get into an algorithm feedback loop with Spotify. In some ways I like it because I know if I choose 2000s Indie, it's going to play me a bun...
Sun Eater is very good… but the first book is pretty slow/strange as far as world and character building. Then once you’re fully immersed and fluent in the universe, it’s on. ...
[quote]Also, I'm not sure why, but the writers have made Mysaria more sympathetic in this show. She's kind of a POS in the book.[/quote] As I've said, it's been a while since I read the book (and I didn't really love the book anyway), but this is how I remember it as well. She was something of a ...
[quote]Two favorite subtle scenes were Alicent touching Aemon talking about what he suffered in his youth. [/quote] She has to be thinking, "How did I raise such shitty children, and why did I want them to rule Westeros?" ...

:lol: They're local to here, but they're similar to Dutch Bros. in that they're slinging cafeinated sugary drinkable desserts under the guise of "coffee" for the most part. I'm somehow on some 7Brew fanpage on Facebook, and I honestly can't believe the shite people are posting about drinking d...
[quote]Even still, that felt pretty forced and unnecessary. Unless the point is that women are weak and when they are backed into a corner they try to sleep their way to safety. But I don't think that message is accurate or what they intended.[/quote] Eh, I thought it was commiseration between ...

re: milk makes my stomach do cartwheels

3 out of 4 of my family are lactose intolerant to varying degrees. We recently went to Italy/France and weren’t going to deal with trying to go non-dairy and miss out on the food. We used a few different lactaid type pills taken just prior to meals, and no one experienced the stomach issues that...
[quote]I don’t even know what Daemon is doing anymore.[/quote] It's okay, he doesn't know, either. And my main issue is that he seems befuddled and unsure of himself. He THINKS he knows how to handle the riverlords, but he ends up just pissing them off even worse and his strategy to strongarm ...

Any fans of Militarie Gun?

Posted by hogfly on 7/16/24 at 2:09 pm
I'd seen their name kicked around quite a bit in indie circles over the last couple of years. I probably listened to a song or two over that time, but I recently decided (for some reason) to give them a more genuine listen. There's nothing like... groundbreaking or crazy... but damn they write so...
Agreed. We do a lot of topo chico at our house. We also do Nixie, which is a flavored seltzer water with some added caffeine (from green tea) if you're also looking for a small caffeine burst. Only two of their flavors have caffeine (peach tea and pomegranate tea)....
So they had White Worm's spy infiltrate King's Landing and just sort of left that one hanging. It's been a while since I read the book, but what's the play there? She's going to start spreading rumors and sowing insurrection among the small folk? Is there a specific instance this is foreshadowing fr...

I also think they haven't been explicity about Sydney's experience or lack thereof. We know for sure: 1) She graduated from CIA 2) She had a catering company that failed. It, however is implied that her "resume" is very impressive when Carmy first interviews her and asks her why she would want ...

We have only final episode left. Bummed to read that it might not be great as people seem to dislike the funeral for Ever,, which I assume will be majority of episode. I agree with a lot of the takes above. It’s still one of my favorite current show, but this season was slow with a lot of stuff ...

They’re rarely hot in my experience. I usually lightly toss in olive oil, blister them in skillet, then hit them with some salt (required) and lemon juice (optional). Great little app that my family loves. ...

re: Driving to Colorado from LA

Posted by hogfly on 7/9/24 at 7:57 pm
We almost always are traveling with mountain bikes. Not only does that keep us from flying, but it also discourages us from staying at hotels overnight (hauling 4-5 bikes into hotel room out of car is a pain). As such, we do a lot of long haul drives (usually 12 hours... but I've done a full pull fr...

Listen to Empire of the Summer Moon while driving it, if you haven’t already read it. Makes you view the landscape differently as you imagine the Comanche hiding out and terrorizing it. ...
