  • I cut weight all last year. Went from 203 lb to 181 lbs at my leanest, while training hard. I was obsessive about it. After 9 month I started stalling hard. I hung on for 2 more months and then quit because it was almost Christmas.

    I tried to start the cut again but it was too mentally grueling for me. I crept back up to 195 and now I’m just maintaining until I don’t have a visceral reaction to the idea of a cut again.

    I definitely gained some muscle during the process, and don’t look as soft when I started but still a bit discouraging.

    Also it’s nuts how your body can hold 2-5 lbs of carb reserves










  • What would you propose, then?

    We use organic amendments all the time when reclaiming historically mined lands that did not salvage soils.

    Soils take millennia to form, and you’re not going to get fertile soils without either kickstarting the process or waiting.

    Another commentator points out that using arbuscular mychorrizhal fungi is also cheating. Again, how?

    To have a functional soil and not regolith you need the following:

    • An organic matter source - regolith lacks this
    • A moisture retaining media - regolith usually has this but its ability varies widely
    • Enough rooting depth for your desired plants
    • A method to transform organic matter to nutrients - regolith generally lacks this

    Organic matter is your pool of nutrients and microbes and fungi are what mineralize this pool into plant available forms, so saying they are cheating doesnt hold water (like a shitty regolith).

    But I can grow plants in glass beads! Sure you can, but you’re supplying chemical fertilizer to do it and constantly replacing that - so in this case you’re the organic matter pool and the transformation vector.

  • I hadn’t played video games since 2012. My boy got a PS5 for Christmas, and well, we all know how that was going to turn out.

    I’ve been playing it more than he has, after he’s gone to bed, and catching up on a lot of titles I missed.

    Anyway, I got into Minecraft. I didn’t get the appeal until I started playing and now I’m hooked.

    I’ve got a strong drive to explore, in general, and that itch used to be scratched by fieldwork. Now, I do desk work and I’m too busy with kids to actually get out in nature like I used to.

    Minecraft kind of scratches that itch. I get to spelunk, see new stuff, and there’s a non zero chance of getting my ass blown up by creepers. Fun!













  • so instead of browsing /r/all, my mobile experience will consist of solely visiting the handful of niche subreddits i have favourited? thanks, I guess?

    seriously this, it’s dogshit if you only go to a few subreddits, even if they aren’t favourited. I gues /r/random will have to do a lot of that heavy lifting now. It’s going to be subreddit 50/50 - either you boring or great subreddits, or furry stuff.
