If you haven't heard of it, maybe give MacroFactor a look (not affiliated, just a happy user). It is the only food log and weight tracker that I've used with success. On the weight tracking side, it also requires daily weigh-ins and tracks your trend weight over time. Combining that with the calories you log, it determines your TDEE and adjusts your calories and macros from week to week depending on the goal you want to achieve.

Very cool. I'll check it out.

The limitation, but also the real benefit of the Trend Weight is there is no tracking of food. Each day you can see if you are above or below the trend line and how many calories you are above or below where you need to be.

It's just the diff, basically.


Yes. I had a similar experience. The answer would come to me before I even finished reading the prompt, but I never felt like I was actually learning the info. Just memorizing the pattern.

I surmised that it was a result of my deck being too small. It may be different with a larger deck and a greater variety of cards, but I never got my deck to that point.


Have you looked at Lofta?

https://lofta.com/products/sleep-apnea-test

Disclaimer: I've not used them. No experience with them. I've just seen their name mentioned as an affordable sleep test.

EDIT: Just realized the company of this submission has similarly priced sleep apnea test. I should have probably clicked through before commenting.


Lofta does sell CPAP machines whereas Helio doesn't. I just did my sleep test and follow up through them and the process was quick and painless.


I'll admit it's been 15 years since I originally read Warrior Diet, but I thought it advocated a massive salad as the first part of your dinner followed by the protein source? I don't recall much mention of stew in the book, but like I said it's been ages since I read it. Not challenging you. Just curious since it has been so long since I read it and I'm trying to jog my memory.


I think we're both right, because the author recommended what you're saying: eat a big salad first, then try to have your protein source be a stewed meat of some kind so that the nutrients in the meat wouldn't be lost by the cooking process. They would be captured by the water in the stew, and more bio-available because they've been cooked.


I don’t think it is.

King Ghidorah is the 3 headed monster from the Godzilla universe.


It's very possible. The Japanese pronunciation of hydra can be written as either Ghidorah (as seen in Godzilla) or Ghidra (as seen in Final Fantasy), among others, in English.


And the Greek pronunciation is "eedra", which has a lot fewer sounds than the above.


Good to know. As a Godzilla fan, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.


Certainly seems like it is...

Can you give an example or two of how you effectively turn your Kindle highlights into flash cards?


Here is an example from The Black Swan (cloze deletion)

{{c1::The Platonic fold}} is the explosive boundary where the Platonic mind-set enters in contact with messy reality, where the gap between what you know and what you think you know becomes dangerously wide. It is here that the Black Swan is produced.

Here is a basic card I read and decide if this is info I have forgotten or if I knew about this:

“We had observed a real-estate transaction that takes place each night when we sleep. Fitting the notion of a long-wave radio signal that carries information across large geographical distances, the slow brainwaves of deep NREM had served as a courier service, transporting memory packets from a temporary storage hold (hippocampus) to a more secure, permanent home (the cortex). In doing so, sleep had helped future-proof those memories.”

Excerpt From: Matthew Walker. “Why We Sleep.” iBooks.


Anyone know how to check this in the US? Only information I can find is for UK.

I have a GE Hotpoint tumble dryer from about 4 years ago and would like to see if I'm at risk.
