  • You need to drink your way to weight gain.

    Try 4 meals a day if you can but get some big calorie drinks in you.

    Stop looking at the weight in the gym and start looking at the weight on the scales.

    But I’m (athletic) skinny and punched out of my weight loads. How? I don’t fucking know. Think girls are just really comfortable around me and for some that works, usually the cute quiet ones. Or sometimes I been blackout drunk and magic happens.

    Edit: Just get really drunk and lower your standards. I’ve done that too.






  • I agree. It’s also probably person to person thing.

    I’ve been told it’s better to take ibuprofen with food as you can get indigestion. But I don’t so I don’t need to. Some people need to. Some people get indigestion so bad they can’t take ibuprofen at all even with food.

    Also I went to the doctors and he said “just take some ibuprofen that will help” and I said “oh I’m asthmatic I’m not meant to take that. But I have taken it before and I didn’t realise”

    And he said “oh its fine then. Some asthmatics might get any issue with it. That’s why it’s recommend not to take it. BUT seeing as you have and didn’t have any issues, then you are fine to take it.”

    There is a huge theoretical improvement in medicine if it can be given individually rather than by demographic.







  • The internet as a whole was so much better for this.

    Free speech and exchanging of idea and views was great. Most of my time on YouTube was spent looking at out and out discussions, back and forth, about religion. Which seeing as I went to a religious school I didn’t really have anyone to talk to that was very helpful for me.

    Now people come to a conclusion and stick with it. But they also get encouraged by people doing exactly the same upvoting their view and down voting others. Evidence doesn’t matter. Reddit and redditors used to encourage upvoting alternative opinions.

    People are going so far as to want certain views banned just because it isn’t their view. It’s scary how much people want to be restricted. Reddit used to be great for free speech but now its terrible. I was hoping Lemmy would, by it’s federated nature, be an exchange of different ideas and views but if anything it is a lot worse. (I actually find the mods to largely be okay. But the people are terrible, worse than reddit is at this moment it time)

    So no Lemmy is nothing like reddit of old at all. I’d love to go back to reddit from 10 years ago.






  • If these are “intentionally obtuse” points, well then welcome to aerospace engineering, its called rocket science for a reason.

    Haha lol you are being intentionally obtuse again. I never said anything bad about NASA I never said they was being obtuse and I never said they were being cringe. You are arguing at a wall because I never made those points.

    A lot of people say a lot of stupid things about Elon and SpaceX and that vastly out weighs the actual issues with this project. Of which there are real issues. Everything NASA says is assumed to be a valid issue. Again intentionally obtuse because I’m not arguing anything else

    I watched that video when it came out and I can’t really be bothered watching it again.

    Haha good day mate. You are trying to make a conversation out of something I’m not saying, you’re not worth talking to. If you want an imaginary conversation please have it with yourself.


  • If NASA is to a point healthy critique is considered cringe, then I doubt we’ll be on the moon for long.

    You’re being intentionally obtuse. I’m obviously not calling NASA cringe and that’s not even remotely implied.

    NASA is running the project, set the tenders and observing the suppliers. No one would expect anything else. Smartereveryday was largely on about culture at NASA from what I remember from that video. That and the lack of hypergolics. If NASA wanted hypergolics on the moon they could have put a requirement “must use hypergolics on the moon”. But they didn’t. That’s why all the relighting tests are being done. If the engines relight to the needed reliability then everything is fine, they have set the standards.

    The Apollo project was tested live. They did all the lab tests but the real world tests were largely done with people in them. Apollo was risky as fuck and would never ever be allowed to happen now. I think some of the astronauts thought there was as high as a 50% of death. The fact you don’t know how risky Apollo was to the astronauts shows you don’t know much about this because you are using the safety of Apollo as a benchmark. Look I love Apollo but it wasn’t a high benchmark of safety.

    With things like this. Testing to failure is pretty norm. NASA uses falcon 9 rockers for crew which was largely tested the same way. They obviously have faith in SpaceX because they out humans in their rockets.
