THE D, no. Vitamin D yes, but from suppliments or fortified whatever, like tofu. I'm not arguing for or against people consuming dairy. For me personally i chose not to, but im not going to jump up and down and yell at others ESPECIALLY when ive not done the research myself on the nutritional side. Like i said, i have seen…

I don't need it for protein. I get enough protein from other sources. Calcium I get from the greens I eat. So really for me it's just a culinary replacement. I guess if someone is not eating the same as me it can seem milk is more imperative, but I was just jumping on the anecdote train with my own :P.

I'm not sure you can point to someone's claim and say it's invalid because it's anecdotal and then provide your own anecdote as a counter point. Pointing out that ethicacy doesn't say anything about the nutritional value was solid enough. While I can't speak to the validity to either side I've seen studies that support…

You and your husband see yourself everyday. Take progress pictures. It'll help when you can see instant comparisons rather than the gradual day-to-day changes. I lost about 60 lbs before I really noticed just by looking in the mirror, but looking at pictures I saw a HUGE difference.

Running Wild is the only pirate metal band for me.

"Mota" - Russian Circles https://youtu.be/eWoJs4QkvwE

"Lady in Gold" - Blues Pills https://youtu.be/W-1hn87q9_8

Bohren & der Club of Gore. I'm pretty sure they're my spirit animal.

What?! The slower the better! I am way into funeral doom. Skepticism and Evoken are two of my all time favorite bands. As long as that slowness is in service of good atmosphere and not "hang on while I find out where my hand needs to go for the next cord," I love it. Worship, Tyranny, Shape of Despair, Catacombs,…

While I still consider myself a big metal head, I've spent an increasing amount of time listening to non-metal as years go by. Still I consider doom and black metal to be my favorite genres. Right now, according to my play counts, the metal bands getting heavy play are Sojourner, My Dying Bride, Tempel, Vattnet Viskar, and…

Ha, no problem. You do it however makes you happy. I was just making a counter point to yours. I probably could have done without the "nobody" . But my point still stands. Spices, seasoning, and adding veggies like onions and garlic to meat sure sound to me like people are trying to make meat taste like veggies. If you get…

But nobody eats a plain old hunk of unseasoned meat. And what do you season meat with? Plants.

There's a company that is already making great strides towards making lab meat a viable option. There was a recent interview with their CEO on Sam Harris' podcast that I found pretty exciting. From what they discuss, already the meat they produce is far more efficient (I believe they said it takes 3 calories to make 1…

i beat DS2 early on but never went back for the DLC. I got Scholar of the first sin not long ago and going back to DS2 after 40-ish hours in DS3 is rough. It feels very different and my rolls are all horribly timed now.

I just finished Dark Souls 3 last weekend, finally. My pseudo-completionist nature had me grinding for stones to max out the weapons I liked, even though I still only used pretty much one weapon the whole entire game, even after maxing the ones I was grinding for.

Well it's more of a thermos than a water bottle, but Zojirushi makes some killer stuff. It keeps things cool for a crazy amount of time.

It's only restrictive if what you want is the food you can't have. I eat a ton of different stuff because I seek out new recipes every week. I've never felt restricted eating a vegan diet, I just had to change the focus of my cooking. There are a lot of good vegan/vegetarian blogs and youtube channels that have all kinds…

Some would say even the off-brand vitamins are not worth it unless you are correcting for a deficiency or supplimenting to fill holes caused by things like b-12 for people eating a plant-based diet.

The way I do it us just not make it an option to not do it. In my mind if I say "I'm going to exercise right when I get home from work for 45 minutes," I'm not making a suggestion to myself, I'm saying it as a factual statement. The shift from making it a "I really should do x," to " I AM going to do x," is only a slight…

Think about it this way. If you get back on track right away, you have less ground to make up for than if you gave up entirely because when you again decide to get back to it, you'll likely have gained more. The best thing to do when you slip up is to get right back into it. You're going to make mistakes. The important…

I'm no scienceologist or anything, but I don't think you can guide fat loss like that. Fat comes from where the body decides to take it. For example, doing crunches don't make your stomach slimmer, but will define the muscles underneath, which can sometimes make it seem slimmer. You can certainly target these places with…

Have you considered that maybe you are a vampire as an explanation for the 0 heart rate? But srsly, I have an FT60 and mine at one point stopped syncing so I got a new strap, which fixed it. But if yours is new I'd get it exchanged if you are in the position to do so. If not, contact their support to see if they can help.

The exchange of ideas is a good thing. A concern about someone else's views or actions is perfectly valid, especially if the impact is greater than just to themselves. If it is just discussion then either nothing comes from it as all sides just stick to what they started with, or something said may spark a change in…

That is IF the person equated it to murder. And even then theres the question of the severity of thaylt action enacted on an animal and if that equates to the same action taken on a human. Not all vegans think to that extreme about it. I personally have some leanings towards what we can assume is the complexity of the…
