@CoachDanGo I just call it mush. Ground turkey breast with taco seasoning. Mix in rice, hot honey carrots, and mushrooms. Then I'll do half with tuna half with eggs to mix it up.
@EGTVEgal The problem with this line of thinking is you have to jump to Bluetooth being hazardous and ignore them having a phone on their person constantly receiving cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc signals constantly. Probably have fitbit and smart watches too.
@Helios_Movement "Fuck it gonna just eat these cause I'm poor".
A box of David Bars is $40 for 12. Unless they're getting less than 1000 cals per day they're eating half the box per day. $140 per week in protein bars. Just buy food???
@JDSST@975TheFanatic@BillColarulo His point is just it's been 6 games and this isn't unusual. If they were all hitting .300 and had a bad 6 game stretch in July nobody would even see it in the stats.
"I bet you never thought you would look at what seems like a good lineup nd see the leadoff man hitting .167, and the number 2 hitter is hitting .174, and the number 3 hitter is hitting .136, and the cleanup hitter is hitting .208. Then I am going to tell you that is not the Phillies lineup, that's the Dodgers lineup. Just a reminder that it is not just the Phillies."

@snakeeyes182@FauzKhalid I like how in all of these AI bomb videos the guy holding the camera shows no fear and just keeps filming as large blast go off around him.
BREAKING: After President Trump said he spoke to a former president about his operation in Iran, Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Biden were all ruled out, per NBC.
🚨 SECWAR PETE HEGSETH DROPS TRUTH: "I liken Iran's predicament to a football team, who scripted the first 20 plays of the game. The team knew what plays to run because their first few drives were scripted."
"But now that the game has started and the blitz is on, they don't know what plays to call, let alone how to get in the huddle and call those plays."
"Iran's senior leaders are dead. The so-called governing council that might have selected a successor, dead, missing, or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room."
"Senior generals, mid-level officers, enlisted ranks, they can't talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated and sustained offensive."
"That's not great for morale. The Iranian Air Force is no more, built for 1996, destroyed in 2026."
"The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated. Pick your adjective."
Holy smokes 🔥🔥🔥
@real_lumethos@Womp_Tomp But they don't just go to 220lbs. They'll wither away muscle mass they already have and will need to start on a much much smaller calorie diet or the weight/fat will flood back on. Smaller calorie diet likely means way less protein.
@KyleX63@Womp_Tomp The question I'm asking is this: Is there any reason to believe someone at 220 will build muscle measurably slower than the exact same person with an extra 80 pounds of fat?
If you are fat, get 0 calorie electrolytes and starve yourself for many days at a time.
This is actually fine, healthy even.
The only reason it’s considered taboo is because it works so well they can’t keep selling you stuff.
Because you’ll be in shape in like 2 months.
@real_lumethos@Womp_Tomp I get the idea of dropping the weight it is better for your health. But it's much less stable and unrealistic to maintain it once you're there from fasting. The Biggest Loser study while not perfect showcases how volatile it is. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC49…
@KyleX63@Womp_Tomp Cbum does not have an average lean mass. I'm also not recommending people fast down to 120lbs. But if you're like 300lbs at 6'0, you might want to fast down to 200 or 220 for your health and mental.
@real_lumethos@Womp_Tomp Well no we wouldn't compare cbum to a guy that never stepped foot in the gym for muscle growth. But if you take a guy who is 120lbs and a guy who is 280lbs the heavier guy is going to put on more muscle much faster. If you fast to lose 100lbs you'll probably lose more as well.
@KyleX63@Womp_Tomp I've never seen data showing two people with the same lean mass, the fatter one would build muscle faster. Nor have I seen data showing extended fasting causes rebounds in a mentally healthy individual.
@real_lumethos@Womp_Tomp Because the heavier you are the faster you can build muscle. The more muscle you have the more calories your body requires to maintain your weight. When you go into a slight deficit your body chips away at the fat. By the end of the road you now are less likely to rebound.
@KyleX63@Womp_Tomp If you are like 60 to 100 pounds overweight, that is devastating for your physical and mental health. I can't see any reason not to shed that excess fat as fast as possible
@real_lumethos@Womp_Tomp Fasting is fine but it's a dumb solution to lose the 60 to 100+ pounds some people are recommending in here. Fasting to lose a ton of weight is like your cars engine failing so you replace the frame. I'd prefer people put on muscle as they come down.
@gnoble79 How does SpaceX acquiring/folding in xAI change their IPO? I don't think people with millions or billions of dollars are going to suddenly forget about this. Just because they made this transaction to value the company at XYZ doesn't mean it will sell at that.
SpaceX just acquired xAI in a deal valuing the combined entity at $1.25 trillion.
Elon says it's about building "data centers in space."
But let me translate what's really happening here...
xAI is burning through $1 billion per month.
The company generated $107 million in revenue last quarter while hemorrhaging $1.46 billion in losses. It burned nearly $8 billion in cash through the first nine months of 2025.
That's not a business.
SpaceX meanwhile generated $8 billion in profit on $15-16 billion of revenue last year. It's the ONLY Musk company that actually prints money.
So what do you do when your AI startup is drowning in red ink ahead of your mega-IPO?
You fold the cash-burner into the entity that can still raise absurd amounts of capital.
And we've literally seen this exact thing before:
In 2016, Tesla acquired SolarCity for $2.6 billion.
SolarCity was bleeding cash, drowning in debt, and trading near all-time lows.
Tesla - the only Musk company at the time that could access the capital markets - absorbed it.
Wall Street analysts called it a "bailout dressed as synergy." Tesla's stock dropped 10% on the announcement.
The SpaceX/xAI deal is the same playbook.
Musk's stated rationale - that AI compute will be cheaper in space within 2-3 years - is the kind of thing that sounds visionary until you think about it for 5 seconds...
SpaceX builds rockets. xAI trains large language models.
These are wildly different businesses with zero operational overlap.
Imagine Microsoft acquiring a cement and steel conglomerate and claiming "tilt-up concrete slabs are essential for data centers."
That's the level of logic we're working with here.
The real play is simple: prop up xAI's insane burn rate with SpaceX's funding access ahead of what could be the largest IPO in history.
And xAI isn't alone in this capital-devouring spiral.
The entire AI sector has become a web of companies cross-subsidizing each other's losses.
OpenAI squeezes billions from Microsoft. Nvidia invests billions in xAI while selling them chips.
Everyone's propping everyone else up.
The investment thesis across the industry has devolved into:
"Please keep the Ponzi spinning long enough for someone else to be left holding the bag."
Meanwhile, the end product - AI - delivers marginal productivity gains for trillions in capex, soaring power costs, and balance sheet carnage.
If these services were priced to reflect their true economic cost, most users would find negative value.
But investors stopped reading balance sheets and cash flows long ago.
The AI models probably can't read them either.
What a time to be invested.
So what's the play?
AVOID the AI infrastructure complex.
When everyone's propping everyone else up, you don't want to be holding the bag when the music stops.
Look instead at sectors that have suffered from years of underinvestment: energy and commodities.
While trillions have been funneled into AI infrastructure, capital spending in oil, gas, and metals has been starved.
That's how cycles work - underinvestment leads to supply constraints, which leads to rising returns on capital.
Tech has the opposite problem. Overinvestment is destroying returns.
When you're burning $1 billion a month to generate $107 million in revenue, that's not a business model - it's a wealth transfer from investors to chip manufacturers.
Emerging markets are also attractive here.
They've been ignored while capital chased the Mag 7, and valuations reflect that neglect.
The Mag 7 now represent roughly a third of the S&P 500.
When this unravels - and it will - capital will rotate into the parts of the market where returns on capital are rising, not collapsing.
Energy. Commodities. Emerging markets.
POSITION ACCORDINGLY
@DavidLeavitt I would like to believe that Cena has someone who runs his social media because the amount of racists, sexists and overall garbage human beings he follows really makes me question all the “good” he’s done in the world. I really hope he’s not just another piece of shit…
@SpikeEskin Besides yesterday every game they've played all season basically comes down to the final possession. It's so weird. Eventually something is gonna break one way good or bad.
Even as Embiid has looked much better, the Sixers are 14-12 in December and January with a point differential of about 1. This with Maxey taking a leap, George being mostly available, etc...
I know all of the dreams about what they could do in the playoffs but I don't buy it.
The whole “Luis Robert isn’t even good” crowd not being able to see what he could be if he puts it all together is classic.
Another move the Mets can make due to having a loaded farm system and deep pockets. If he doesn’t pan out which is obviously possible it won’t even hurt them.
@JonnyPage9 This is one of the things that makes me really curious about this year. Like there has to be a reason they do this surely. Could it be they think it's some super secret deception for run plays? Personnel mismatching? Freedom to switch plays at the line? Or just dumb.
Grant Calcaterra played 20 snaps last night. 5 pass blocking. 14 run blocking. 1 route.
Is it really possible for a coaching staff to misunderstand their own players this badly?
