Finally made a chiropractor appointment to figure out my posture problem, which I think I originally mis-self-diagnosed. I walk like I'm going permanently uphill. -
Watching Brees and Brady makes me all the more encouraged about the prospect of trading Rodgers in a year or two while he's still great and before any skills start to erode.

I can't wait for Starlink. Only one internet provider in town and they know it. My internet has been out for a week and they regularly don't bother showing up for scheduled repairs. And when they do they tell me their box is old and there's nothing they can do.

Next NBA season is going to feel a lot like being a Dodgers fan during regular-season play. Win-win-win is pretty much a given and it's all just twiddling your thumbs until the playoffs.
-
Another MVP is all the more reason to seriously address the postseason failures and do something more drastic than brush things off with an "oh well maybe next year" type of reaction from management.

Of course I say "yeah hunger isn't a problem" as I sit here biting my nails and nearly giving in and eating lunch today. It's a rainy day so nothing is going on and I'm not able to busy myself with work. My weight is up lately but at the same time I've also been lifting weights, so it's been tough with just a scale to really know how I'm doing. Maybe I'll have to get some bodyfat calipers. I know they're not hugely accurate, but as long as they're consistently inaccurate that would be a great way of tracking real progress.

I've liked what Cleveland and LA has done with LeBron the way they've had him move without the ball and then get him the ball in motion. Giannis would probably play well like that with his length. Plus that adds more dynamic to a half-court offense which is otherwise pretty stale and 95% reliant on Giannis dribbling past his man. To a degree the same could be said for Middleton, who I'd love to see moving around more on offense. I agree with the Beal comments. Even though Middleton can drop 30 on anyone, he also doesn't strike me as a guy who gives other teams that "dangerous if not planned for" reaction. Instead it's a 100% focus on Giannis and everyone else gets what they get. But a guy with the skills of Beal really demands that attention because he can create 25 points out of nothing.

Glad to hear it went well. Yeah it's really weird to not be particular hungry having not eaten (ate?) for that long.
-
I think a used PS4 will be a Christmas gift for the brother. He'll never play anything, but the parents live nearby him and we'd all be able to play Jackbox together. And since the brother-in-law already has one, it'll be fun to say "This is a gift for the whole family, except Rebecca."
-
The more that teams are competitive or even SB contending with star QBs on rookie contracts the more it makes sense to pay big for position players. Bit of an instant team when you do only have that short window.

I love opera. The Met does a "Summer Series" where they play them in movie theaters on Wednesday, and so you get the subtitles. Act 2 is where you get all the beautiful, sad songs. Ironically, I hate musicals, though. What's the adage? "The mark of a man is someone who can cry at a good poem but still beat you up for laughing at him for it."

My last post actually didn't get lost in the shuffle. I'd deleted it. Homer had already posted a good article and Bucky has more experience, so I decided I didn't want to monopolize the Random Thoughts thread. But I guess I'll post it now:) https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-health-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting The article also cites its claims. For the Youtubers, I've been watching Dr. Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer. What I've been reading: 1. Any calories, including many vitamins and sugar-alcohols, break the fast. So no diet sodas and multivitamins. 2. Post-fast meal should be a small serving of lean protein and just that. Then eat a normal meal 1-2 hours later. 3. Caffeine is fine during a fast. 4. Headache? Same when you start keto, it's typically a lack of sodium. Have some salt (also doesn't break a fast). 5. Fasting lowers gut flora, so a pre-biotic like asparagus is a good vegetable for your first real meal. Non-fast-breaking supplements/vitamins (not required) 1. tyrosine. helps energy and cognitive focus. 2. Thiamine. Helps a body process the post-fast meal. 3. Creatine. Energy if you're lagging during exercise. 4. Potassium. Mostly only necessary if you are cramping during exercise. 5. Magnesium. De-stresses muscles and mind some. Kinda takes the edge off. If you want a fast-approved pre-workout, DeLauer recommended beta-alanine and citrulline malate.

The luxury tax also has substantial additional penalties if you go over two years in a row. So Horst could very well have been timing it to spend more this coming offseason to convince Giannis to stay.
-
I'm all for the Bucks saying "He Giannis, we'd be totally fine with firing Bud if you sign an extension. Just don't ask for Kidd back." Maybe that would help keep him here.
-
CBS with an early report that the Bucks will not trade Giannis even if he doesn't sign an extension this off-season, which I think would be a mistake. It takes a lot of years to rebuild a team, and add in FAs not wanting to come to Milwaukee, it would take a very long while in Milwaukee. But trading Giannis would bring back a haul of talent. OKC is a good example of what happens when you just let good players walk. Bleacher Report put some potential trades together, which were basically 2-3 young players plus 2 first-round picks. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2901743-every-non-bubble-teams-best-trade-package-for-giannis-antetokounmpo I thought the Lakers would have been pretty mediocre this year for having two great players and basically nothing else. But I guess it's really more a game of individual stars than a collection of overall talent. But mostly I think it's the fault of Budenholzer. He's well-known for never making in-game adjustments, and we've seen how far that gets you in the playoffs with even a great regular-season team. No reason a Giannis Wall should have worked two years in a row. And no reason Giannis shouldn't be getting 25 assists per game when teams overload on him.

I tried the fasting out today. Made it 21 hours. What really surprised me is I was hungry, obviously, but not desperately so that it was particularly difficult to go without. If I were asked to go another few hours I don't think it would have been a problem.

Weight-wise, what I'm reading is fasting really boosts your HGH which is a big positive for fat burning, and the lack of meals means no insulin spikes. I was also reading that while most people do a 16/8 fast, if you're 40+ longer is better. I'll probably try it because it's at the very least not a health-negative. I just have to time it all out since I work shifts, especially so with timing workouts. I've been eating really well and weightlifting regularly. It's the cocktails and the now-and-again light snacks that's doing it for me, but less than that and it hits the point of being so strict as to be untenable. I'm also switching to monkfruit from aspartame. I drink 3L of that sugar-free Crystal Light stuff per day and all the aspartame is probably doing me no favors. And thanks for the advice. "Guy who sounds smart on the internet" wasn't enough for me, so I appreciate the confirmations.
-
That's interesting, thanks. I guess I'll have to start reading more about it. Skipping breakfast is the default for me--I have force myself to eat something in the morning. Was hearing about it from the Thomas DeLauer youtube channel, but I don't know yet whether he's a reputable source or not. But one video on belly fat he said fasting is really good for that. In general I'm just trying to fix my skinny-fat problem. Doing bro splits about 6x per week (even though full body is better for 40+) and eating well, but I've also been plateauing the past month or so.
-
Anyone ever try intermittent fasting? I realize it's sorta the in thing right now, but I've been reading some positive things about it. Though ultimately it probably goes a bit far for me.
-
On the slim chance you haven't yet, also see the documentary Fistful of Quarters. The antagonist of the documentary also made the news somewhat recently. It would fit well with that Netflix series.

I've watched a lot of Dillon tape and to me his balance is the most impressive. I don't see Dillon running right through people ala Jerome Bettis, but more being able to stay upright and move forward again quickly if he's not hit squarely. He's closer to a ballet dancer than a steamroller. He's a really nice opposite-compliment to Jones. I think we'll see a lot of games where one does poorly and the other does well, just based on the LBs the Packers face that week. I hope Jonathan Taylor's fumble problems don't follow him. I worry he'll be one of those guys who is otherwise-great with loads of talent, but won't get put on the field since he'll turn the ball over.

One of the best regular-seasons in history turned into a long layoff turned into....whatever this is. Momentum lost, no more home-court advantage, teammates not where they were and hack-a-Giannis in full effect. And wasn't there a Stephen King novel about a town trapped inside a bubble? I'm amazed he's not out there throwing haymakers. The level of stress all the players are under has to be immense. Oh, and a new baby, which of course isn't stressful at all. Not surprised some of it has bled out even by one of the nicest guys in the League.

If there turns out to be any sort of permanent health damage from anything related to Covid, couldn't players sue the school for basically 'making' them play if they end up contracting it? If you'd lose your scholarship for not playing, that's as close to being made to play football as you can get. And any permanent health issues would tank their draft value. Better off just canceling the season and letting the players decide what to do with the lost year--count it as a season and go for the draft or pretend it never existed and stay in the same class.

My boss is the only one on that side of the street and they told her that they'd already connected as many lines as they could and couldn't add her unless somebody drops out. It's a poor area. Folks around here would only have enough money for the cheapest package, and so the company focuses on the richer folks. And we're on a park boundary, so there won't be further development for them to warrant expansion.
