Everything I’ve seen and read says exercise won’t actually change how many calories you burn in a day. It’s still super healthy to do, but does not replace a calorie deficit.

Your anecdote seems to support that. You burned up all your blood sugar by biking 10 miles and then almost passed out. So now you’re just going to laze around for hours burning fewer calories than you would have during that time had you not exercised.

I’ve dieted before and always embraced the “eat your exercise calories” idea. Exercise is good for your body, but any calories spent doing it should be eaten as extra food outside of your normal calorie goals.

Consider taking up scuba diving. It normally requires active ear pressure normalization (Valsalva maneuver), but it sounds like you’re one of the rare people who will have a wonderful time never having to worry about that.

Why not change countries? I think about doing so all of the time because fuck the USA. Goddamn shithole country. But I, too, have million reasons not to. -_-

As a kid, I had this tabletop video game called “Dracula” that featured a multicolor VFD display. I loved that game.

Before ATMs, bank drive-throughs (the ones with multiple lanes for cars) had pneumatic tubes to send cash and checks to the bank teller, or receive cash.

Some probably still do. I feel like I used one within the past 10 years.

TIL capcom is a real word and not just a Japanese game developer.

That’s what the barbed wire and nails are for!

the dev team

The team is one guy. His name’s Evan.

I also highly recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been playing it for years.

Sience, bitches!

It always used to be IANAL on reddit. Why did they drop the I?

Who’s “we”? I love recaps at the start of an episode when the last one I watched was a week ago. If you don’t like them, it’s streaming video. Just skip forward!

Yes, and you have to say it while sucking in air, not breathing out.

It’s true, though.

Mmmm, I love cold turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving

I was going to let this one slide, but then you went and said:

They’re starting to ship them with chips in them to send the data away whether connected to WiFi or not.

So you have a source for this claim?

I’m really happy my Lemmy app (Thunder) has an option to not show display names. I only see normal usernames and none of that KOLONAK bullshit.
