science@lemmy.world•Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groupsEnglish
222·4 天前It doesn’t look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.

34·7 天前Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can’t breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)@feddit.uk•Ron Howard's Cocoon is still impossible to find anywhereEnglish
121·9 天前Easily torrented.
I watched it recently and the film didn’t age well in the current social climate. Good script, great cast, but the story is about a “magic pill” that will make old people young again. That in itself is not a bad thing, but the end of the movie sees all the old people making the selfish decision to leave their loved ones for their own eternal bliss. I know it was supposed to be a metaphor for death and heaven and such, but now it just looks like Me Generation, head in the sand, fuck you I got mine, Boomerism.
Wilford Brimley’s grandson pleads for him not to go and tries to stow away on the heaven boat. And then Brimley’s like “nope, I choose to never see you again, go fishing by yourself.” If I was a grandpa, every moment with my grandson would be worth giving up an alien immortal orgy. Geez.

2·9 天前One of the biggest leverage pieces the US had to bully the rest of the world into adopting pro-US tech policy was the threat of tariffs. Now that TACO Supreme has levied tariffs at random all over the place, that threat is invalid.

Art@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The Spanish Singer by Edouard Manet 1860English
2·9 天前If the crowd liked your guitar playing, Spaniards at the time would remove the onion from their belt (as was the fashion) and throw it on stage. It’s nice to see Manet’s attention to detail on the custom.

29·12 天前Taste test.
I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?
Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.

Global News@lemmy.zip•German industrial output falls to 2005 levels as auto sector cratersEnglish
1·20 天前Thanks to everyone who posts the archive link!
The why from the article: "According to the German statistical office, the “sharp decline” in car production was in part caused by the later timing this year of annual closures at car plants for holidays, as well as production changeover.
But a profit warning by German carmaker BMW late on Tuesday was the latest reminder of the industry’s structural challenges as it struggles with the transition to battery cars, weak sales in China, competition from Chinese rivals and US import duties.
Germany’s economy has been stuck in stagnation for more than three years."

Television@piefed.social•Charlie Hunnam defends Monster: The Ed Gein StoryEnglish
6·20 天前From the article: “Is it Ed Gein who was abused and left in isolation and suffering from undiagnosed mental illness and…that manifested in some pretty horrendous ways? Or was the monster the legion of filmmakers that took inspiration from his life and sensationalized it to make entertainment and darken the American psyche in the process?”
