Most of these were committed with handguns FYI, not long guns. Long guns in general are a drastic minority of gun violence, deaths, and while the rate is higher for mass shootings than general violence, they are still a minority.

30% of Brit’s can’t kill a rat. Lets not act like this is beautiful data here

Less than half of Brits couldn’t kill a goose?There is no reason a fully grown adult human should lose to a goose in a fight.

Edit: read the graph wrong

I use the nominee list from Hugo for inspiration. I’ve found some real gems there (A psalm for the wild built is maybe my favorite book I’ve read this year) and some real flops (A spindle Splintered is probably the worst book I’ve read this year). But it generally gives me decent content regardless

Not sure how much I trust OP. Source seems a bit dubious. First, it lists 7 US museums, not 4. Plus, the list has the Smithsonian African-American museum, which is the 7th most visited Smithsonian museum, so it’s missing 3 other Smithsonian museums?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/258338/visits-to-smithsonian-museums-und-institutions/

I’m counting 7 in the US on your source? How many total did you cut from the source to your visualization?

>Maybe next time I try and get back into it more seriously I should scale some of this stuff back.

I really recommend it. I tried to hop back on the fitness train after college and failed multiple times because I kept trying to keep track of the minutia, would fail at it, then would downward spiral due to my failure.

Nowadays, I just track my protein and calories, my taste enforces enough diversity in meal composition, and follow a simple(ish) program, and am stronger than I've ever been in my life (although I need a lot more conditioning, which is going to get added after my current program cycle).

Yeah, And I used to be in the same boat. But for a person with a 9-5 and a host of obligations, trying to factor in all that optimization causes you to lose the forest for the trees. you spend so much effort for that one percent increase, you start to miss the +25% stuff.

Define "type"?

Unless your Vegetarian or Vegan, It's not a massive worry, as most all animal sources are complete proteins, not incomplete, so it's not required to have different sources to get all the essential amino acids.

Sure, you don't want to just eat whey all day everyday, but yet again, you should focus more on a solid amount of protein, meeting your calories and sticking to your diet than making sure you eat every 1-2 hours, or you have 5 different "types" of protein, or you eat within 30 minutes of completing a workout, or whatever hyper specific study some influencer decided to overhype for views.

This whole overcomplication around dieting is really unnecessary unless you're a top tier athlete. you'll do a lot better changing your focus from "protein types" to just staying on diet and program.

>My point was that if you ate 20 cooked eggs you're not going to absorb 60gs of protein per hour.

Yeah, but there's minimal difference between eating 3 cooked eggs at breakfast, or having a hardboiled egg every hour till lunch.

And frankly, none of that *really* matters unless you are a top tier competitor. If you're trying to get stronger for yourself, just up the protein intake, watch the calories and you'll be fine.

That article is talking about overall daily intake, not limitations on a "per meal" basis. Specifically crazy high protein intake (they quote 200g-400g). There is nothing I can see in the abstract related at all to having smaller meals every 1-2 hours instead off fewer smaller ones, which is your initial claim.

​

>For example, cooked egg protein has an absorption rate of ~ 3 g per hour [5], meaning complete absorption of an omelet containing the same 20 g of protein would take approximately 7 h,

This seems to fly directly in the face of the "1-2 hours" claim I was refuting anyways?

First off, the BF% on these is pretty gimmicky, Regardless, a bulk with minimal fat gain is actually pretty hard to pull off, especially if you're not experienced in dieting for muscle gain. It's easier to just aim higher than you think, and know you need to lose a little fat later.

> you would maybe be lucky to actually absorb 5gs of that. If you're in really great shape and also take other supplements it might be a bit higher and closer to 7-8gs. So really you need different sources of protein every 1-2 hours throughout the day for optimal results.

This has been debunked. You use all the protein you eat. There are limitations regarding muscle-protein-synthesis, and high quality protein after a fast, but overall, it's not a major issue unless you are a body builder. Meeting macros and calories is significantly more important than spacing.

I have read all except the most recent novella (Fugitive Telemetry).

they're really fantastic. Network Effect in particular is great.

Moreso, advancements in safety make the car slower. And the drivers would rather risk death than risk loss.

Isn't Rugby technically "rugby football"?

>GT cars and F1 cars

even more so. The first car pass looks like a WEC prototype, which is significantly faster than a GT car.

This is a common theme amongst populist uprisings. Another interesting book is "The Storm Before the Storm" by Mike Duncan. It has a lot of parallels as well, especially regarding the Gracchus brothers and the Social Wars. History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

The Red Rising Series (my personal favorite sci-fi series)

The Furies are all black
Atlantia (>! Likely one of the BBEG of the second series!<)

Moira (the least important one by far)

Aja (arguably the single most badass fighter in the entire series)

Ajax (Aja's son) is also black

Also, their father, The Ash Lord is also black.

All the characters (except Moira, RIP) are extremely important characters.

&#x200B;

Binti (A Hugo & Nebula award winner)

Main character is African

&#x200B;

Murderbot Diaries (2 Hugo/Nebula winners, a single Hugo, 3 rejected hugo nominations, and a Hugo for best Series)

While racial terms aren't used at all, skin color descriptions vary significantly to encompass what is likely a wide range of lineages.

That was tied to Stop & Frisk, right?

I mean, you're required to "Be able to read, write, and speak basic English" to become a citizen per CIS. The vast majority of natural born citizens would also likely have at least a basic grasp of the language. The only real fringe case would be someone born in the USA, lived somewhere else for most of their life, then came back. but that's a fringe case.

I don't see anything wrong with supplying other languages, especially Spanish given our demographics and proximity to Latin America. But, if you're eligible to vote, you probably shouldn't *need* a non English one.

cool. Thanks for the discussion.

>You sure that you I understand

Pretty sure this isn't even a proper English sentence, so I certainly didn't understand this.

I also realize you aren't the person I was initially discussing with, which makes you totally changing directions seem a lot more logical.

>All problems exacerbated by the fact that toxic masculinity has told boys and young men that showing your feelings is a "woman's trait".

And that's not moving the goal posts at all. We went from "Women are objects" to "woman's traits" real damn quick.

>Can you give an example of something you have been shamed for?

Personally, I go to an IFBB gym, and have gotten multiple comments about it. Not at all because of my behavior, just because I go to a certain gym.

Also, I used to shoot competitively (archery) and still shoot recreationally (archery as well as firearms). the amount of "compensating for something" and "must have a small dick" comments is sort of crazy.

I've certainly got a lot of more light hearted shit I don't really mind about things like the gym, FF as well, video games, etc, but there's definitely a distinct difference.
