@bschermd Calories bro. Full fat is excellent but to much is bad.

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'm super curious what everyone thinks about the full fat dairy section. They basically admit the science doesn't support avoiding full fat dairy, yet they go ahead and recommend it anyway. Anybody else perplexed by that?

@FiredUpCoug Squid and uni.

Hello Japanese X. While all my American friends are asleep, I have a question for you. What is the strangest topping you have seen on a pizza in Japan? This is a safe space, no judgement.

@pirooooon3 もう分かってるっしょ

これが 日本のビックマックセットです ドリンクはラージ ポテトもラージ 日本円で1,030円 6ドル55セントです 安いかな？高いかな？ アメリカのマクドナルド🍔🍟 ならビックマックセットは いくらなんだろうね

@taggartvanetten Feels very AI

@AlDefinitely Dolla dolla bills ya’ll.

Why is a senator from Connecticut at a protest in LA and not like Hartford or New Haven

@chyeaok Fat JD is my fav.

Is JD Vance much skinnier now or am I crazy? Did the memes get to him

@upstatefederlst It was Harry Potter’s dad.

No he hasn't.

@upstatefederlst No. This idea sucks for pedestrians.

The Brooklyn Bridge should be closed to vehicle traffic and remade as a public park. Cyclists and pedestrians should be banned from the Manhattan Bridge.

@Hybridathlete @SummersJohns69 Oh. Then you’re just making shit up.

@Himought5 @SummersJohns69 No I’m not. And I did answer him.

Yep, especially true as your fitness improves. My top end Z2 running is 6:30-6:45min/mi and 150-155 HR but I do my easy runs mostly at 7:40-8:00 pace and 130-135 HR. My top end Z2 biking is ~270W and 140HR but I do most easy bikes at 200-230W and 120-125 HR. If I were to start doing all of my easy runs, even at 7:00-7:15 pace, or all of my bikes at 240-255W, it would start negatively affecting my training very quickly. And that's not to say I don't do any work in that range or at the top of Zone 2, because I do. Every week I probably spend ~20% of my easy training in high Zone 2. Simply put, any additional benefit (and arguably, there isn’t much, if any) of doing all of your easy training in mid to high Z2 isn't worth it due to the disproportionately higher recovery cost versus Z1 work. In the short term, and on lower volume training, you can get away with doing mostly zone 2 but eventually, it'll catch up to you. If your goal is long-term consistency and improvement, you should focus on keeping the easy days truly easy. And a quick disclaimer before a bunch of you lose your mind in the comments: I'm not saying you should completely avoid zone 2. I'm just saying the majority of your easy work should be zone 1, with targeted Z2 “intervals” worked in when necessary. A good example of this that I have my clients do and that are in my programs is what I call "easy plus steady run". For me, “easy” is Z1 and “steady” is mainly high Z2. An example would be this: 20-25 mins easy + 15-20 mins steady And how that would look for me is over the first 20-25 mins I'd probably start off around 8:30 pace and steadily work it down to about 7:30 pace by the end of the easy portion. Then the steady portion I would work from probably 7:15 pace down to 6:30-6:45 pace depending on how I feel.

@SummersJohns69 @Hybridathlete I’m not sure why he didn’t answer you but Hybrid Athlete Guy is using the MAF method to determine his zones. But if using the 65% of max calculation it is impossible.

@Hybridathlete Am confused. How can top of z2 be 155?

@dannowicki @FarOutMag I'm too old for The Kinks and too rock for Moby but I know who both of them are. These guys are bing dorks.

@SamAntar @LincolnRestler Bro, let's Singapore this shit for like 5 years. Snitches get $$$.

Hey @LincolnRestler: If civilians should enforce parking laws, should we also empower them to ticket cyclists riding illegally on sidewalks and in crosswalks? Or is this “citizen enforcement” only when it fits your narrative?

@PopBase Nikki Hiltz is not trans.

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy: “I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

@AJA_Cortes Also, it’s kind of wrong. It’s going to take time for that protein to denature and for the aminos to be cleaved. Better to have it before the workout that way it’s getting absorbed and metabolized right when it’s needed.

This is peak Orthorexia, hyper obsessive focus on inconsequential minutia because hEaLtH Nothing bad happens if you consume a protein shake on an empty stomach

@MarkJCarney Can I get that in French please?

Canada has hit its 2% NATO defence spending target. We made a promise to transform our defence — and we’re getting it done.

@nogoodboypoints @LincolnRestler No, but if you monetize parking fines like bottles and cans, then you've got an entire cottage industry of people helping to enforce laws. Cops can worry about real things.

@LincolnRestler So what you're saying is I can handle the schizo homeless appropriately on the subway The illegals on electric bikes on the sidewalk with the care they deserve Finally something we agree on

If it is official NYPD policy to not enforce the law - then New Yorkers should take matters into our own hands. Pass my legislation to empower civilian enforcement of illegal parking and abolish parking placards.

@DanBiancoNYC @jwilcox79 @richmintz To see at what ridership levels the gates are worth it.

@jwilcox79 @richmintz Why did they pick those stations with already very low evasion rates?

The new pilot MTA fare gates are already helping to reduce fare evasion.

@NBCNews This is not accurate. Transgender women are NOT banned from participating in the Olympics, they simply must compete under the gender in which they were born and not be on PEDs.

BREAKING: Transgender women are banned from participating in the Olympics beginning with the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. nbcnews.com/sports/olympic…

@MOrcmisha @TristinHopper They’re similar to the US. Which makes sense.

@TristinHopper Canadian youths are the odd ones out worldwide

British voting patterns are weirdly the exact inverse of Canada. Canadian youth are trying to hammer the brakes on everything from wokism to immigration, while British youth are flooring the gas.

@AlaskanKate You’re not doing it right.

My doctor’s office told me today that I can cancel appointments through MyChart bc “it’s easier”. For WHO, Brittany????? I have to two-factor authenticate and that takes way longer than dialing your number and saying I’m not coming.
