well… always nice to see more post diversity directly on lemmy.ml - upvoted.

nice job :-)

I have sparred rounds with quality female muay thai fighters and “throw like a girl” takes on a very different meaning.

clean cuts - thanks for the tldr.

well, peeps. its been a “fun”(for the least charitable definition of the word) ride.

naked mafia in the wh with really expensive toys to use against its foreign mafia peers never really sounded like a fun time but, hey… here we are. I mean, executing economic hit jobs on europe (the latest one is ballsy) and birthing a trump lead neo-axis vs whatever is left of the world. impressive shot.

I dunno, will there be a flash of intellectual and emotional reflection just before the state round exits the front - or perhaps just the flash and an afterwind.

I think I’ll go hug some people more.

exact same situation, my friend.

if you are looking for a caloric deficit (fat loss with minimal muscle loss or even some reasonable muscle gain with the test) then absolutely. ON is one of the standard go to protein sources. I have been using IsoPure whey isolate over the past few years and find its as good as or better than others. either option is good.

some may say that you cannot build on a caloric defict - and I call BS on that. if you have fat stores and you can absolutely build while catabolic and using 90 - 120 grams of protein daily to take advantage of anabolic periods. eat healthy, whole food as often as you can, but lean protein supplements like whey can keep you burning fat and building muscle.

one one other thing… dont overthink it. 50+ with test and your body will recover and grow like whe you were younger - even in a caloric deficit. 12 to 24 months later and you may be shocked at how ripped an old body can get.

p.s. test after 50 (or if you have natural deficiencies) is absolutely valid and useful for quality of life. younger or with normal test levels…? well then you better understand how test supplementation can (and will) screw you over beforehand. talk with a medical professional.

edit: I have used monohydrate and HCL. unless the HCL prices have dropped, I don’t think its worth it. if you dont mind the monohydrate grit, its cheap as hell and effective. just be safe - test and creatine can make you feel as though you can lift more than you should. old men and joint injuries or serious muscle tears are generally incompatible :-)

and a nice set of silver bracelets.

forearm position in that capture is about half an inch away from “crush the trachea” compliance and a mile away from “control the head, neck and blood supply” compliance. this is battery with intent to cause severe bodily harm.

as OP indicates, its a rough read - but worth your time and sharing. thanks OP.

i would have guessed a null modem adaptor, cuz - why the hell not! but… assuming the USB to serial is a typical DTE (M) then the 9pin to 25pin would likely be (F) to (M), but the potato markings on the mystery adaptor seem to suggest M/M… so… 🤷‍♂️

your breakout box suggestion is a reasonable one.

because nothing says “deeply held belief” quite like a registered fucking trademark. fuck every one of you.

no shit. god forbid there could be space to get some important progressive agendas passed here. as the kids say “let the man cook”. we can burn him at the stake later, if need be.

been using it for years now when i need to be precise. colloquially, everyone i know still understands that contextually, K is 2^10

but at least it is what it says on the tin. no pretense. prepare accordingly.

jfc, not this vampire again.

there are long standing radicals on the .ml instances, to be sure. I would place the bulk of the current lemmy.ml userbase between Democratic Socialist and Social Democrat (with a strong, vocal splash of authoritarians mixed in there somewhere).

lemmygrad.ml and hexbear are often otherworldly - interesting to watch, ocassionally interesting to engage, but always entertaining if you can pick out the salient arguments from the confusion. love federated systems :-)

probably too much of a sweeping generalization there. I would say (with zero evidence other than my interactions) that after the great reddit migration, those who might say this are likely in the minority.

I cannot defend this other than “the feels”, but hey… I think lemmy.ml got moderated a little with the influx of cooler heads.
