    Creatine is LITERALLY the only supplement that almost everyone and every study agrees.

    1. Has a measurable physiological effect.
    2. Has next to zero side effects.
    3. Is incredibly cheap.
    4. Is universally beneficial for anyone training in almost every sport/activity.

    Anything else the answer to “Should I take…” is at best “It depends” and in most cases “No”. Its the only one if people arent taking it I’d ask “Why not?”

    My favorite stupid unit of measurement is “A gram of protein per cm of height” for protein intake for very overweight people who have no idea what their lean body mass is or should be.

    It sounds ridiculous but for 90% of people it puts you within 10% of correct and usually errs on the high side.

    BCAA’s are essentially bullshit 99% of the time because if you’re getting adequate complete high quality proteins from food (including whey or quality plant protein shakes) they contain all the amino acids your body can use.

    Honestly, the flavor is all down to the brand. But water just gets boring as shit if you’re drinking a lot.

    Fundamentally you’re right. If you get absolutely everything 100% scientifically perfect for you, your circumstances, your genetics, etc you will always see better results than the person eyeballing it. But its like 200% more effort for an extra 25% gains, the minutiae of this shit goes as deep as you care to look and thats what drowns a lot of new enthusiasts.

    Its a pretty common unit when it comes to discussing dietary protein around bodybuilding and fitness because 1g per lb is a super easy conversion for people to remember. Its kind of the golden number because even for people not getting the best sources of protein 1g per lb almost guarantees anyone other than edge cases and steroid users are getting more than enough to support optimum growth and recovery.


  • The only thing I want from companies is just a little transparency and a paid option to opt out.

    “Facebook is free, but we will mine the balls off your data, monitor everything you do, we will control your feed and you cant customise anything. Or for $20 a month, we wont mine or track you, your feed and how it works is totally customisable”

    Just put a number to it and let me decide if my privacy and experience is worth the money.


  • It wouldnt be any good for speed runs on an OG console. But I’m using all those re-release mini consoles so they are effectively emulated and not always perfectly so its ok. Best thing is I think I paid $50 for the projector brand new so its not expensive to give it a try, and even if you think it sucks theres a novelty to playing NES on a 3 meter “screen”

    Good enough that I’m still a hot hand at Metal Slug.

    I genuinely dont think he is that dumb.

    Child sex offences are still (thankfully) one of the last things that 99% of people agree on as being fucking horrific. Especially when that child isnt even a teenager yet. There isnt much room for “spin”

    Im not saying that he might not try to influence the investigation or trial but if that doesnt work I dont imagine even he is thick enough to publicly pardon a child rapist.
