I do more of a 5 meal thing lately. I became very regimented over the last couple years.

Morning is a 2 hour procession of water, protein coffee, regular coffee, and oatmeal.

Late morning is a piece of Ezekiel toast with a light cream cheese spread and either smoked salmon or sliced chicken breast on it.

Early afternoon is often a full or half banana. Late afternoon is protein drink and either a banana or a rice cake with honey. These two mini meals bookend my workout.

Dinner is the wild card. Chicken, salmon, shrimp, scallops, tuna… all fair game. Usually with a vegetable and a an egg or half avocado.

Then my night snack is usually Greek yogurt with something mixed in. Mix ins range from Stur to blueberries to peanut butter… just depends on the day. I’ve also been known to do a hard boiled egg or two instead.

Ha, can’t comment on the name but it’s a flourless bread, using sprouted grains instead. It has good macros for a bread, too. I’m a convert from 88 cent Aldi loafs.

Ah, Jerome. A great example of man’s hubris.

The real ones had blockbuster deliver by mail, then returned those discs in store same day so to prompt the next delivery. I think it was a buck cheaper than Netflix at the time, too. Yargh

Weezer’s Hash Pipe came to mind for me. The rest of the green album and much of their stuff is distinctly different.

I’m not here to condone smoking, but OP isn’t here for unsolicited advice either.

Man, I remember having to use a VPN to sign up for Spotify when it launched, because it was founded in and available to the UK only.

Sometimes it’s because of the temperature delta. Really cold outside and warm inside might feel hot, comparatively. Apparent temperature stuff.

Other times it’s probably over compensation for the thin skinned.

Idiocracy has been my go to for the past several years. Before that, Super Troopers. Or maybe Dazed and Confused.

My guess… That’s about 80-90 cals per bite, and it’s a high glycemic index treat. 1-2 might be good pre lifting session, or 2-3 post workout combined with another carb and protein source. But definitely more on the treat side than healthy food side. It looks delicious though!

Natural Born Killers. I think it’s the whole “killer duo” and cultural obsessions that linked them together for me.

But it’s been a while since I watched NBK, too, so maybe I’ll have to do these two back to back!

I have not, but I’ll check it out some time. The trailer makes me think of NBK.

Idiocracy

There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

Chill out. Going into attack mode doesn’t make your assertion carry more weight.

And a politician he is, willing to be bought in exchange for political capital.

Stealing from my comment in a different thread:

I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

How, even as seasoned veterans of experience, can we preserve a sense of wonder throughout our lives?

. . . truly contemplating the world — truly attending to and feeling wonder for it — can help dissolve the separations we artificially impose upon life.

Your post reminded me this short article, on maintaining wonder and awe through awareness. Its less about the comparison, and more about the appreciation.

The bigger concern typically comes from using non sterilized/distilled water. Overall, and with proper use and cleaning, it’s an effective and safe method of sinus cleansing.

Don’t miss a day once you start taking it. It’s not an instant relief med, but has to build in your system for about 24 hours. In my experience, for example, missing Tuesday meant a headache on Wednesday.

Zyrtec and Allegra, I believe, provide same day relief. But I still prefer Claritin myself, for various reasons.
