I love Canadians but please don’t return! Both for your safety and to send an economic message to all the shortsighted fools. It’s the only way some might wake up.

Absolutely! I admittedly fell for this for many years as a runner, but these days I do just some light/moderate squats, leg extensions, curls, alongside sprints/inclines, etc. and it’s made a big difference! Especially in stability.

I’d like to suggest they may be more complementary than strictly achieving the same, which seems like why most studies suggest trying to perform a mixture. Of course, something is better than nothing relative to your interest and limitations! (eg, arthritis, joint issues, preexisting conditions etc.)

Speaking only for myself, I definitely feel the best mentally and physically when balancing the two. And if I happen to take a break from both, boy, does my mental state nose-dive within 2 weeks.

This is very good, and it’s also worth noting that the benefits can also come from aerobic exercise; and if your joints or back are an issue for waking/running, consider cycling or swimming. Ideally, I think one would do a mixture of both resistance training and steady-state cardio; then later, if fit enough, some HIIT. Worth noting I think that when it comes to something as intensive on the body as going through chemotherapy, strong studies suggest pretty big benefits, which would apply to anyone with energy-based issues, presumably.

The beauty of light aerobic is that to get the benefits of increased energy, you can need only do light aerobic activity that is (a) easy to recover from, and (b) increase mitochondria count, and © lowers your weight which translates to a myriad of downstream benefits including less energy consumed at baseline throughout your day.

I was told exactly the same thing years ago but admittedly never followed up with the Endocrinologist (many reasons). Like I was surging LH, but the response in the nethers wasn’t there.

The good news is bloodwork on a later routine visit showed my T levels seemed pretty normal.

Out of curiosity did your endocrinologist have any theories why this disruption between messaging and production was occurring?

I feel like I’m you about two decades behind, so this concerns me lol. I’ve always been thin, always high metabolism, and generally have a ton of energy.

However I will say: The first time I’ve experienced true, relentless fatigue was with raising a child lol. You just can’t turn your brain off and consistent, quality sleep tends to be a thing of the past. There’s just damage done when you get that much consistent sleep loss. You can’t just “catch up” without some damage being done, I think.

My goals to age as best as I can (and know that I will inevitably fail at some point) is to remain pretty physically active especially in terms of aerobic exercise. I’ll stick with my whole foods plant-based diet that has worked well for me for going on 20 years now, and doing my best to lower my stress with hobbies and family, etc.

What do you mean? Yeah I’m not one to suggest people need to be roiding up or anything, and usually low T levels is indicative of some other upstream issue whether deficiency, lack of fitness, socialization, exercise, etc., but it’s worth checking with doctor.

I was looking into them! Basically I’m just trying to utilize what I already have with my kobalt batteries for odd-end projects and camping, etc. The price-to-performance for the XTR line that has the 21700s just isn’t justifiable for my use-cases.

I’ve only recently stumbled on 18650’s potential (lol) by using the 4Ah Kobalt 24v batteries for some experiments with solar, 12v loads, and inverters. Holee hell nuts. Theoretically around 44amp continuous draw in 4Ah arrangement (though I’m aiming to be well under 30 in most circumstances).

Also need to mod kids power wheels with these.

Relevant documentary on The Science of Touch I watched a few years back. I think they mention force and speed matter in stimulating oxytocin.

As a general rule you can have versatility, or efficiency but not both.

You can have legible coding or efficient coding but not both.

Memory is comparatively cheap, which means labor hours is comparatively more costly; so why spend time optimizing when you can throw together bloated boilerplate frameworks and packages?

Many of the traits of childhood are wonderful and you should cling to them. Sense of wonder and curiosity, goofiness, don’t take yourself too seriousky, adventure, physicality, etc.

I think I get what you’re saying, that sometimes one wonders if relative to some of your peers of you’re “achieving” enough. That’s a trickier question because some introspection from this is good.

• Are you truly content?
• Is your future somewhat secured? (forward-thinking with finances, career, health). Or are you doing the more reckless Yolo teenage thing? (this aspect of being a child, especially if one has kids, I’d say isn’t good lol).

They really are! I’ve brushed against these climbing communities before and long been drawn to go (for many reasons haven’t). Why is this? Why does it seem like this attracts chill people?

Lately I’ve realized I need to get back into some sport again, whether that’s pick-up soccer, racquetball, climbing or something… Good for the soul. Too old for hockey now, I think lol.

What was the curriculum you used for them to learn to read?

From dead war criminals to this, lots of good news today! Not necessarily making up for everything, but I’ll take it.

Prop 50 should be a done deal too, yeah?

• Dr. Gil Carvalho, MD PhD Nutrition Made Simple.

No sponsors. Sells nothing. Just an enthusiastic scientist who discusses studies and interviews anyone willing. Truly in it for the greater good.

• Talking With Docs (2 Canadian surgeons).

These guys are cool, entertaining, and informative. No red flags I’ve seen.

Avoid like plague:

• Eckberg
• Berry
• Berg

There’s another guy I can’t remember his name but is so full of hate and vitriol and insults. He’s British. If I recall all indications point to his cardiology background being a total fraud.

Interesting! I have the inverted perception. All subjective of course, and it probably has to do with my being less interested in the gritty thriller aspect of the other two. That said I thought Riddick did a great job blending the two. If you haven’t done so, I highly recommend watching the “Unrated” version of Riddick and the Director’s Cut of Chronicles of Riddick which elevate both films significantly.

CoR had so many big, unique characters and good actors. Lord Marshal, The Purifier, Karl Urban as Vaako, Dame Vaako, Keith David as Imam, Judi Dench as the Elemental, etc. In our house, it’s one of the most quotable movies up there with Sin City. Some of the cinematography is stunning, too.

Yeah nothing as groundbreaking as Blade Runner for instance, but just one of those films that has such high replayability for us.

Mediocre!? Thems fightin’ words!

Chronicles of Riddick is a hall of famer in the sci-fi world building space romps! So many good lines.

I modeled the teacup and put in Riddick’s lines when equipping or striking in Skyrim for my wife lol.

Not necessarily the biggest roles but I’ve always appreciated:

• The narrator in the original Medieval: Total War (intro for example). Set the mood.

• Prophet of Truth in Halo 2.

• Dunmer male voice actor for Morrowind.

The first and last especially set the atmosphere so well.
