Don't hikers hear your exhaust?:notbadObama:
Encountered probably 75 leaf peepers through my 7 mile loop but a good ride nonetheless. Today was a great use case for the Timber bell!
We're getting rid of the Infiniti within a year anyways because of the warranty expiration. I'll talk with her tomorrow about it though. Looks like it also impacts mileage negatively, which can offset the cost savings.
But but Volvo still turns a profit
Btw Vestas is a Danish company. Interesting case how it became a major player globally but that’s a different story.
I think the rational choice for her would be a 2010-up Highlander Hybrid (or HiHy as I like to call it
) with a CPO warranty. But rational apparently isn't a criterion.
Snow conditions look pretty marginal.
The skier depicted is one of my med school classmates. Doin' it right.
If you are a heli skiing guide in Alaska as he is (not sure when/if he actually practices medicine!) you could sample that goodness year round.Snow conditions look pretty marginal.
For my post-lunch-ride lunch I had a bowl of homemade chicken & rice soup, a couple small brownies, and some ice cream. Oh... and a hot tub before lunch.Starting to read this now:
Dr. Fung is the same author of the fasting book. I imagine I'll have seen most of the information presented in this book via my other reading and viewing (prolonged insulin elevation == bad).
How does one run up medical-school type debt and then become a ski guide? That's some SURGEON-level shit right there.
with that sort of horseshit.

Just wondered if these are as good a vehicle as most toyota's are? I have an 06 tundra and am looking for a new vehicle for the wife. thanks Larry

2006 HiHy Inverter
Has anyone heard of the early failures on the 2006 HiHy. There are a couple of internet forums that have some posts regarding this, but I am not convinced these are not just isolated instances and sour grapes postings. One post claims that Toyota issued a service bulletin on the inverter and...

The most egregious that I've seen lately was FoCo HoCo. Almost had me ranting about dumb fucks out loud like a crazy-person... but I resisted. Because it's irrational, my irritation by this.

Also doin' it right.
A key quote, among many (great book!):Starting to read this now:

Exactly!
Obesity is the predictable result of a calorie surplus. Diet and exercise dictate the presence or absence of a calorie surplus.
If I'm understanding your quote; by their science IRB could run marathons like a beast and if his hormones said so, he'd be overweight. Or some sedentary gal could eat 4,000 calories a day and do nothing, but if their hormones dictated such they'd be slim.
I don't disagree. She has issues with the limited space in the third row for passengers.I think the rational choice for her would be a 2010-up Highlander Hybrid (or HiHy as I like to call it
If IRB was given exogenous insulin or cortisol/hydrocortisone then yes, he'd be fat even with that exercise. And if a sedentary gal ate 4,000 calories per day but was a type 1 diabetic without enough insulin then yes, she'd waste away.
And the Pilot is better? Seems awfully small back there from poking my head into my neighbor's one.
It's shockingly large back there.
Yes, I would.@Nick if I sent you a copy of this book would you read it?
Set up alarm on the leave in thermometer for 105F this time, pulled at 110F. Got up to 120F or a touch higher while resting.
My kids loved it as well. 6 year old in foreground usually doesn’t care for steak but this one got a thumbs up, especially the ribeye cap.
:lol:
Expensive tastes I’m breeding...
Just ordered this:
My construction-rerouted bike commuting route has me on a multiuse path that is crossed by car traffic looking to turn right from an interstate off-ramp, turning right to an interstate onramp, and turning right from a major street.
All of these assholes in cars are looking to their left for car traffic to spot an opening, and I've had several close encounters. Now they shall get a 120 dB heads up. If this sucks I'll return it and get another Air Zounds air horn as I've had in the past.

I've got a bike air horn you can have gratis. Might be the Air Zounds, not sure.Just ordered this:

That's your ace in the hole for avoiding all kinds of carpool fuckery.
Neither of our vehicles can accommodate beyond our family +1, by design.
With ski team, planning carpool fuckery can save me driving every weekend while taking more kids on occasion. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Mechanical engineer's simple running hack is fun and increases efficiency
Attention runners: The next time you go out for a jog, you might want to strap a light resistance band between your feet. This rather quirky but oddly effective hack, according to UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineer Elliot Hawkes, could make you a more efficient runner by approximately 6.4%.
Finished reading The Obesity Code today. A lot of the diet-specific advice mirrors The Perfect Health Diet, since both of these books make it a point to actually cite studies instead of touting (often wrong) conventional wisdom. I’d glossed over it when reading PHD but those authors actually suggested using intermittent fasting/time restricted eating in the end of their book, too.
Cliffs Notes for Dr. Fung’s take on things:
Cliffs Notes for Dr. Fung’s take on things:
Note the lack of “move more” advice there—it’s all in the book but exercise is good for many things… but not for weight loss, per se. And also note the lack of a general “eat less” there, too, just to shift carbs to fat basically: because calorie restriction leads to downregulation of metabolism.

Tesla Model X beats Mercedes-Benz EQC and Audi e-tron in camper trailer towing test
The Norwegian EV association put a Tesla Model X, a Mercedes-Benz EQC and a Audi e-tron through an interesting towing test with identical camper trailers. Here are the results… Many people still think that you can’t tow a trailer with an electric car, but the Model X became the first one with...
Do we know why the Tesla is more efficient?
The canteen at work has been doing amazing thing with portion control and at the same time using the less food consumed to finance better quality ingredients. Would this also have a positive effect on long term weight?

That sounds like an incredibly effective way to wind up breaking your wrists.Mechanical engineer's simple running hack is fun and increases efficiency

Better quality ingredients may, if the amount of refined flour and sugar is reduced. Amount probably won't--if people truly eat less over a day then their metabolisms will slow down to match it, and if they eat more at home to make up for it then similarly a wash.
The Model 3 is similarly more efficient than its peers. Tesla has some good motor and inverter design. Aero between the companies is roughly comparable, and that Audi, for instance, doesn't use all their nominal pack capacity is irrelevant since this is in Wh/distance.
I may end my metformin experiment.
After 4 days x 500 mg of metformin ER I had lactic acid-type pain in my left quad as I bike commuted in, despite probably a 110 bpm average (with my personal anerobic threshold something like 160 bpm). I also just felt a bit weak in general.
Then again, most of this could be due to apathy, from me being the early attending on service, thus being on the bike in the cold, dark 6:15 AM environment. So I'll certainly pay attention to my overall strength and muscle soreness on my commute back home this afternoon.
A reference that suggests a plausible mechanism:

Metformin may work for Peter Attia, but perhaps not for my particular metabolic gestalt/mitochondria.

Metformin Impairs Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle of Both Lean and Diabetic Rats in a Dose-Dependent Manner

Metformin may work for Peter Attia, but perhaps not for my particular metabolic gestalt/mitochondria.
Note the "probably a 110 bpm average". I don't know exactly because my Apple Watch has decided to auto-delete my activities on Strava. Prior to yesterday I'd logged something over 100 activities on it, and after doing one out of cell range I'd go to History, pick it, then manually sync it again to the phone that'd then send it to the Strava cloud.
But yesterday it glitched and all of a sudden I had 0 activities in the history. Today I noticed it didn't auto-sync after I completed, even though I am clearly in civilization with cell service. I went to History, saw 1 logged and then as I watched it refreshed and went to 0!
My Watch doesn't want me to have any e-KOM glory (or to log my pedal powered commutes, apparently).
Edit: reinstalled the watch app and relaunched the phone app and magically my two missing rides appeared on the Strava-webs! PR on Through the Trees but still behind Todd/Compressed.
