I think a sort of gallows humor is necessary to do that job, & that's what was at play there

(Related: we don't pay those people anywhere near what they deserve. I'd double their salaries on day one if I were made king)

Was sitting at a stoplight when an ambulance with the sirens blaring drove by. The paramedic smiled at me and waved and something about the duality of the situation--a kind happy paramedic driving to a health crisis--struck me.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Keep your head up! It will eventually click.

1. Play fewer games / don't specialize
2. Ditch the stigma that heavy lifting "isn't for girls"

These measures won't eliminate the problem, but it would undoubtedly push the trend in the right direction.

Repair with internal bracing. That's a 9-12 month recovery rather than 12-18 months for full TJ. If recovery goes well, he should be ready for spring training in 2027.

There's so much misinformation and crap information out there in the exercise science/sports science realm. I've often thought about starting a podcast (because it's much easier to discuss in that form compared to writing) but does the world really need another podcast?

As an exercise scientist I may have to try this out...for science, obviously.

The issue is the beer. It would have to be Keystone Lights and I'd need to be hooked up to a catheter. The run(s) and the tacos are child's play.

Kinda both.

Generally speaking, as long as you're consuming a broad diet, supplements are largely not needed, except for certain instances where a doc might recommend specific vitamins or minerals.

The 1 g/lb of protein is for those working out frequently and is on the high end.

Most supplements are useless. The ones that do work are probably only the most impactful amongst the highest performers.

Science has done a pretty good job at defining β€œalive” and none of these AI’s meet that threshold. They never will.

There was a significant snowstorm that was supposed to stay to the northern aspect of the state today. I would imagine that's why attendance is so low.
