Physical therapy if you have any physical issues at all, massage therapy if you have any chronic pain, occupational therapy if you have specific life skills or mobility needs.

Any preventative screening or vaccines. There are various generic cancer screenings, etc. Get a referral to a dermatologist to do a once over your skin and document any spots of concern.

Live mice would be pretty messed up.

My favorite IRS notices are the scary you owe us letters that always say somewhere in normal font “if you have already paid or started a payment plan you can disregard this notice.” Sometimes you can get those letters months after paying. To be fair, my taxes are complicated, but boy do they really need Congress to give them money to modernize their systems.

I remember buying mistmare on cd back in 2003. That thing was a broken mess of a game that crashed constantly, and no returns once you open the seal. Kids these days don’t know what a 1/10 game really is, lol. That game was so bad most of the (short) Wikipedia page on it is about it’s low scores, including a 0/10.

Muscle mass burns more calories at rest but the effect is very slight. Eating back any calories from exercise will absolutely outweigh any slight change in base total energy expenditure.

Focus first of what you eat, then sustainable exercise, then specific tuning of both.

Like the other person said, getting the ratio and amount is more important than the source. But you should ask yourself why you are taking the supplement? Are you sure you’re not getting enough from your food? Your body can really only prices 20-40 grams of protein at once, so if you are loading up more than that at a time, you are just piking on calories.

Personally, depending on your current weight, you might think about focusing more on weight loss than bulking muscle mass. Absolutely work out of it is helpful, but don’t worry about mass gains while trying to lose fat. You will develop muscles regardless of whether you micromanage your protein intake or not, and you can optimize better after losing some fat.

But again, you need to check, with, and measure the calories in every portion of food until you develop an accurate read on the calories in things. Like peanut butter having about 100 calories per tablespoon (half ounce).

I’ve read through your comments, and highly suggest a food diary for at least a couple weeks ago you really understand the calories in things you are eating.

Yes, your body does modulate its resting metabolic rate over the long term based on things like average daily exertion, food, etc, but that is largely inconsequential to weight loss.

As a rough guideline, you want about 50% of your calories to be carbs, preferably the fiber or complex variety, 30-35% protein, and the rest fat. If you run a lot, then a few more carbs. If you lift weights a lot, then a little more protein.

Protein will help you feel fuller, longer, so I like to go my ratio of protein a bit.

Meals that I enjoy: steal cut oats and peanut butter, pan seared tofu with salad and a light dressing, bean chilli, tacos or tostados using those low carb tortillas, bowl of rice, refried beans, salsa, and guac, etc

But you really, really need to have a good understanding of portions and actual calories. Most people are way off.

Edit: also, some fasting cardio, like a good brisk walk or jog in the morning before eating anything can help accelerate things. But don’t fall into the trap of eating back the calories you burn.

One thing to keep in mind about how these vaults work, is you often unlock them and then they stay unlocked for a short period of time, like 5 minutes. So if you do compromise a system and can detect when it is unlocked, you have a decent window to programmatically extract credentials.

That said, it requires that your system has already been completely owned, pretty much. At that point, it could potentially log keystrokes and clipboard, and get credentials, including your master password.

Yeah, it sounds like the first exploit required your vault to be unlocked so that a malicious process pretending to be a legitimate integration like a browser plugin could request credentials, and the second one required installing an out of date version of the app.

Good that it is all patched, and that it wasn’t a remotely exploitable issue.

Things like mutual funds, IRAs, etc, are not considered securities and are not disclosed on economic interest disclosure forms. That is true for most government disclosures, including in Minnesota. Minnesota only requires disclosing directly held securities, like stocks, with a certain value. E.g., if you own $10,000 in Apple stock, that needs to be disclosed, but owning $10,000 in mutual funds shares does not.

There’s nothing more frustrating than a GS-12 whose just following rules.

Like the other replier noted, you misunderstand my point. People having kids because it’s what they want isn’t selfless anymore than choosing not to have kids is selfish.

I’ve always been confused by these conversations though. Aren’t people who are having kids doing so because they want to, whatever want might mean to them? Fulfilling just seems like another way to pursue fulfillment/happiness or whatever it is that individuals pursue.

When my wife and I chose to have kids, we enjoyed it. We derive fulfillment and satisfaction out of raising kids. Yeah it’s frustrating at times, and you do have trade-offs, but we did it because we wanted to, to feel happy/fulfilled. We didn’t start a lifelong journey to support children into adulthood out of some weird sense of patriotism or something. Anyone doing that is weird.

Others mentioned multi car discounts, but you can also suspend coverage on a vehicle and restart, or have a low mileage policy that restricts the amount and type of driving. Different carriers will offer different options.

Edit: and old inexpensive vehicles driven infrequently are often relatively cheap to insure.

Glad you got it sorted. Weird about teams though. Have a good one!

Windows detects media being played and shows you that inlay with controls. It must be detecting that stream somewhere being played, even if it isn’t obviously playing in a browser tab. You should be able to control whether it shows media controls on the lock screen.

Yeah, pretty much this. I live two miles from a light rail system that gets me straight to work in 20 minutes, and my job pays for public transit. I can drive two miles and park at the rail station and be there in five minutes, or take a bus that adds 50 minutes. Biking the direct route would put me on a narrow road with trees right up to the lane with cars speeding way over. Biking a safer route would detour me a fair bit.

She drove the 3 hours to see the house, and the seller came home as she was leaving. So chance encounter.

I think many folks are too young to remember before the Internet when everything was published through retail stores. Publishers took big risks paying for advance copies of games to be produced and shipped, and developers typically got less than 70% all told.

When steam came out 30% and you didn’t need to print advance copies, or deal with retail channels, it was a huge win.

Now, the world has changed, but so has steam. Steam has continued to introduce features, sales based % tiers, grown the community, push Linux development, push VR, etc. they also go out of their way to support their devices and make them user repairable.

In any other sector people would be bitching about not having a pro customer option, and yet in this market we get a bunch of non-developers bitching about the revenue split from the best game store other than GoG.

It boggles the mind.

I have two for my kids, and will be getting a third. With the dock, it acts as a regular desktop computer with monitor on an arm, mouse, keyboard, etc, giving my kids an inexpensive desktop computer that can play games. It’s emulation is so robust that I downloaded battle net from Blizzard, added the installer as a non steam game, ran it with proton compatibility, and they can now play diablo 2 resurrected.

In desktop mode it is just a regular Linux desktop, so they can browse the web, and I have a nuc running Windows that they can remote into to learn Windows OS stuff as well. It is a way better experience for them than any other micro PC you might find for $400. And it can be mobile. Pretty crazy device.

That said, I wouldn’t need one for myself unless I traveled a whole lot more and wanted my steam fix on the road. But for a kids first desktop they are amazing.
