I’m not sure which of us misunderstood it, but my interpretation of their findings is that overall, increased protein intake was not associated with increased athletic performance. However if you look ONLY at endurance, it was actually associated with high performance, though only when alongside carbs. Maybe counterintuitive.

Their total sample size was around 300 or 400 iirc. Pretty big, but could be better.

Haha I watched this a couple weeks ago.
Another really important point they make is that even among athletes, extra protein intake does not really help. Athletes only have higher protein intake because their overall caloric intake is higher. Studies show that increased protein intake is only associated with higher athletic performance when it is alongside increased intake of other nutrients (carbs). I was looking at a meta analysis a few days ago. I don’t have the link but I took this screenshot.

So a “protein shake” is not likely to help you unless you were already protein deficient, which as somebody else pointed out in this thread, is not likely for Americans who over consume meat.

What does Lemmy think of the theory that The Wizard of Oz was written as an allegory for the gold/silver currency standard and that “Oz” is named after the abbreviation for “ounce”?

I do miss my Pixel 5a. I think it was the last Pixel to have a headphone port. I have an 8a now and it’s just worse. Effective battery life is MUCH worse and I’m not even sure why. The device itself is a little thicker, no headphone port, the under-screen fingerprint reader is much less effective, the pinhole camera is in a worse location, and other than that it’s pretty much the same.

I would have used my 5a into perpetuity but the screen spontaneously broke one day totally out of nowhere. Didn’t drop it or anything, it just permanently froze while I was using it one time.
Turns out it might have been some moisture problem and people online said that it might work if you put the phone in the freezer. Well, that actually did work and I used it that way for a couple weeks. I would keep my phone in the freezer overnight and it would work for most of the day. But eventually that stopped working and the screen warranty had just ended so I got a new (worse 😡) phone. But I miss the 5a…

1. Did you buy it for someone else?
2. What’s your ideal salad?
3. What animal would you be?

To be fair, that’s the standard pronunciation in a very popular dialect of the language.

That might be right in general, but the device that the commenter included a picture of says オゾン (ozone) all over it. You can also see the O3 molecules in the diagram. So producing ozone does appear to be the primary function of that particular machine.

I looked it up before making my comment and couldn’t find any info about what % of Americans drink water, only info about average volume of water consumption and average volume of soft drink consumption.

You are right that there is a problem in North America with soft drink vs water consumption and it sounds like you know more about it than I do. I only called out your original statement that “most don’t even drink water” because it seems like a huge stretch beyond what the research I was able to find can actually support. The idea that >50% of people in America don’t drink water regularly or ever still seems absurd to me. I struggle to think you even believe it yourself.

I took a college class once about early childhood development. We were looking at a map of countries colored based on how much paid maternal leave is required to be provided. There were only two countries on the map with 0 required.

Person sitting on my right: I should really know the name of that other country [looking at Papua New Guinea]

Me: Yeah I don’t remember right now but I knew it was just the US and one other country. I really should know the name I just forgot it right now…

Person sitting on my left: Yeah I’ve never seen it before… Is it part of Canada or something?

Me: … That one?

Left: Yeah

Me: That’s Alaska

Left: Haha. Wait really? Are you sure?

Me: 🤨

Most don’t even drink water any more.

Do you have a source for that or even honestly believe it yourself?

I really got into anime in 2018 with Little Witch Academia but as a kid my first anime ever was probably Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or another early Ghibli movie. Also as a kid I watched the Cardcaptor Sakura movies.

My first impressions were very positive. I was kinda primed to expect all anime to be trash and cringe so I was surprised when Little Witch Academia was actually just a great show. I’ve been watching non-stop since then, learned the language, translated some manga, etc.

My favorite series since I first watched it in 2020 has always been The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Every arc is amazing, the characters are so interesting, and the presentation is so creative. Though I just recently started PaniPoni Dash! and it’s the first thing that’s ever challenged Haruhi for me; it might be my new #1. It’s 2005 Shaft and it’s kinda the peak of Shaft’s style and quirkiness and it’s also really funny.

I also just recently watched absolutely the worst anime I’ve ever seen: Kennel Tokorozawa. It is funny, which is a positive, but not enough to outweigh how overwhelmingly awful it is as a whole.
The worst things I’ve seen that (somehow) have an actual level of popularity and acclaim: Shinsekai yori, 86, The Boy and the Heron. All bad for different reasons, but each one irredeemably terrible.

You didn’t ask, but I’ll also mention what I think is the most underrated anime ever: Christmas in January. Amazing short movie. Not very popular or well-regarded, but very subtle and emotional and whimsical. Definitely the most “hidden gem” thing I’ve ever found.
