You can make protein shakes without protein powder. Choose milk of choice, toss a oikos triple zero and 2 Tbsp of peanut butter and you're looking at like 25+ grams of protein. Yeah about the same as one scoop of powder but it'll taste better and you'll get enough protein elsewhere most likely.

That sounds pretty great!

I've never been able to get into console gaming. I think it's just that I'm too old, as I can never get used to the controllers. KB + Mouse is just ingrained into my soul from the days of Doom and Duke Nukem I guess.

:corsair:

Counterpoint: I switched to consoles around the PS2 and 360, and have had a devil of a time getting back to the mouse and keyboard for the Quake Beta. I did set up some of the older games I still have though. Thank god some enterprising folks have made new engines for stuff like Duke Nukem and Doom, and DosBox. Hell, I even got Oni to work.


New job trip report:
Looking good so far. Actually had a login and access card waiting for me. Don't have domain admin rights yet, but I'm still training and shouldn't be screwing around with admin anyway. Place is pretty chill, and I'll get to help out with stuff that's not strictly desktop support (networking, VOIP phones, servers) when needed. Learn by doing - I imaged my laptop, and set up my phone and voicemail from the Avaya console, which methodology I heartily approve of. I really hope this goes well.

It's been a really long time since I was the FNG, and didn't know at least mostly what I was doing. Kind of refreshing, if I'm honest. I like learning new poo poo, at least when I'm allowed the time and resources to do so.

When I was going to the gym a lot I used to order custom protein mixes in bulk from https://truenutrition.com/p-1126-custom-mix.aspx . You can pick your own flavors/sweetener types/etc, I liked the milk protein a lot.

Get unflavored whey and put it in a fruit/yogurt smoothie. That's how I usually do it.

But for a quick shake, Gold Standard chocolate whey, some peanut butter powder and lowfat milk is the shiznitz.

The On (Optimal Nutrition) Gold Standard brand from Costco is pretty tasty IMO. Of course I make them with whole milk, not water, so YMMV if you are anti cow-juice.

Muscle Milk on the other hand is loving nasty.

:hf: This is all good and true. I've actually transitioned from the Gold Standard to the Gold Standard natural one. I feel better with it. The only flavor worth having on the regular gold standard is Double Rich chocolate.

I think Dom from BroScience Life had a video about ON Gold Standard that was pretty bang on.

I use a small powered mixer to mix it up right in the cup and it mixes perfectly smooth, texture makes a difference because chunky protein shakes suck.

Get some peanut butter powder too, it mixes WAY better than actual peanut butter with less fat and tastes better.

Protein shakes are even worse for me because whey protein gives me the turboshits due to lactose intolerance. I am stuck with plant protein by and large, which is expensive and often way more disgusting than any whey.

Having said that, I am enjoying Orgain's chocolate fudge flavoured protein (which is actually kind of palatable by itself) mixed with a couple tablespoons of peanut butter.

Makes me glad my lactose issues are relatively minor. Switching from milk to almond milk in my protein made it stop acting like drain-o for my digestive system.

Ive run wheel bearings so loose you could physically wobble the wheel while stationary and also run them so tight they turned the races blue for thousands of kms no worries.

When the taper roller bearings in your wheels are nearly an inch thick across their face you can get away with a lot of abuse :v:

No one eats spoonfuls of pb powder. :colbert:

I dont find it mixes better either. Regular pb will blend just fine, sometimes the powder stays in little compact balls.

Tastes better mixed in a drink yes, by the spoonful no lol.

Regular PB is oily (fat) and harder to clean off everything, the powder has almost no fat and doesn't have that issue.

See that's the thing, my school's engineering department is slowly instituting a C or better policy for all prerequisite courses. So if you get a D in course 1, you technically passed, but if course 2 requires course 1 as a pre-req, you can't take 2 until you re-take 1.

The policy seems to be just behind my catalog year. So I can take Senior Design with a D in heat transfer, but starting next fall it'll have to be a C or better. I was afraid that it was already coming into effect for this fall and that I'd be caught out by it, but I finally heard back from my adviser and I'm good.

I fully endorse a D for Done mindset, but in my case it doesn't always apply.

Yeah if insurance companies get wind of it on either side you might wind up paying higher rates too.

Before everyone gets their rear end on their shoulders about "BUT SOMEONE ELSES gently caress UP SHOULDN'T AFFECT MY RATES..."

Someone hit my sisters parked car. Her rates went up significantly when she renewed.
I got rear ended at a stop sign. My rates went up. I got rear ended in traffic. My rates went up. I got side swiped when I was parallel parked on the street. My rates went up.
Some doofus managed to wreck into the rear of my wife's Rav4 while she was parked in a spot. Her rates went up when she renewed. (She later totaled that vehicle and somehow her rates didn't go up that time :shrug:)

Unless the damage is slight AND you expect they can pay up, there's a good chance he can gently caress you over if you don't go through insurance.

If you do decide to try letting him pay out of pocket, force him to sign a statement of liability, that way it isn't your word against his if he decides to be a poo poo down the road.

Steering wheel fully locked in one direction trying to pull into a space, his tire climbed right up the front passenger side of my car (I had backed into my space). Little contact with his bumper.

Just got a confirmed claim with his insurance agent, they're taking full responsibility. Damage is easily $3k. He has State Fart (I have 3 SF agents in my family - I'm in good hands? lol)

Body shop initial estimate of $4400 - new HID headlight, bumper, grille, pax outer fender, hood, wheel/tire, paint. No apparent damage to the structure, all cosmetic.

Also, dude was an early-30s investment banker. I wish I could share his name because it is about the most early-30s investment banker name anyone could ever come up with.
