Random Thoughts
I took kiddo and one of his friends fishing last night. The weather turned ugly just as we left town, and was really bad by the time we pulled up to the water. We gave it the ol’ college try, but between the wind, the ominous dark clouds, and the approaching blob on the radar, we had to leave without any fish. We did have a great time, so that’s what really matters. We’ll get out again this week, there aren’t any walleye in the freezer yet and that needs to change.
Vikings Discussion
Draft day is only a few days away! We’re having our annual get-together at the house again. It’ll only be a one-day event due to our trip to Minneapolis, but we WILL be there on Thursday for round one. If any of you are in the Bismarck area and want to swing by, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can let you know where we are. Kiddo and I are making homemade seafood gumbo, I’ll have some of my world famous (well, it’s famous in our household, anyway) homemade salsa, and I’m sure we’ll have more good food and good conversation. It’s always a good time.
seafood gumbo, yum yum
Like I mentioned, we’re heading to Minneapolis on Friday. We have tickets to game 3 of the Timberwolves-Lakers series, so we’re heading to town for that. We’re staying Friday night, and for some reason, we’re thinking of hitting a Twins game on Saturday prior to hitting the road to head back to America. Hopefully we can get out of town without getting carjacked.
Vikings News
At Vikings.com, HC Kevin O’Connell has an opening message for the 2025 season, including an update on J.J. McCarthy and more.
Here’s the full Kevin O’Connell press conference on YouTube.
The Vikings finalized their 2025 coaching staff, details from Vikings.com.
NFL News
Some details on Nico Lamaleava’s NIL contract with UCLA, courtesy of The Sporting News. I guess everyone is up in arms over this stuff. Honestly, the NCAA brought this on themselves. They’ve been making bank off of these kids for decades without sharing a dime. Their corruption created this monster, and it is impossible to say how bad this will get before it gets better.
Colts GM Chris Ballard says he expects both Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones to play ‘at some point’, per NFL.com. LOL, that’s SO reassuring. He expects the starter to suck so bad that the other guy will eventually play. What’s the saying? If you have too many QBs, you don’t have a QB? I dunno, something along those lines. There’s a reason that franchise hasn’t been able to establish a QB since they jettisoned Peyton Manning. Dummies.
CBS Sports says the Falcons are reportedly having discussions with teams regarding a trade for Kirk Cousins but are asking too much. They have almost zero leverage, not a great time to try to play hardball. Goof balls. The Falcons are reportedly asking the acquiring team to pay $20 million of the $45 million in guarantees remaining on Kirk’s contract, and teams (wisely) are saying “ah hell no!”. Wait, I thought Kirk wanted to retire a Falcon?
In related news, the Falcons have signed QB Easton Stick, per MSN. Stick played college ball at NDSU, and has been the Chargers backup for the past six seasons. Could this signing be an indication that the Falcons know that they will be moving Kirk?

I found a tick on myself yesterday, and it reminded me of this Pearl Jam song from their Vitalogy album. Enjoy!

T-pups down by 19 after 1 qtr.
Not sure it means much as they were down by 7 after 1 qtr in the first game before winning by 22.
94-85 Lakers.
Series 1-1 headed back to Minn.
Looks like it’s been a fun one today.
Getting ready for the Draft.
Have to limber up those keyboards and hot takes.
Hey MT gouger, saw your post about fasting, just curious, what are your thoughts on cold plunge? My uncle is a plastic surgeon and does it regularly, I did it once for like 5 mins and I felt good after.
My thoughts are “shrinkage”.
I have reached the age where I have to move things further away so I can read them, I am officially old
just stretch your arms. Problem solved.
Welcome back.
Or, increase the font size.
That’s what I do, but my arms are only so long
Where’s the recap?
I’m a bit busy these days, wife is deployed in Tunisia so I’m either working or Mr mom
RFK Jr. finally planning to ban artificial dyes in foods. Way too long coming, IMO. I’m sure some here will defend it because “they ate a ton of it when they were a kid, and they’re fine!”, but it is long overdue with known neurologic and behavioral issues, not to mention carcinogenic effects. Many companies claimed they would do this without being forced (many in 2016 or 2018, claiming to have it done by 2020 or 2022), but they reneged and used COVID as an excuse in some cases (supply chain issues) and then claimed their customer base didn’t really care, so why do it anyway? I wish he had a sooner timeline, since most of these trash companies already have a healthier/safer option they sell in Europe, but they “need time to reformulate” etc., which I understand to some extent (much increased demand for natural dyes and sources).
Well I did walk 5 miles in the snow everyday to school.
with all that red dye#5 coursing through your veins
And fried chicken twice a week and just about everything else fried in lard or bacon drippings. And also worked hard to get my share of twinkes.
Uphill both ways no doubt.
Of course and with holes in my boots.
How’s Mom doing Cal?
Pretty good for 92.
In a Assisted Living facility so she has lots of help.
Still drives but only in the less busy parts of SB.
Up on all family matters, not so much on national (but still has strong woke opinions).
I don’t eat the red MMs.
I always thought that the green ones were the nasty ones.
They reminded me of vegetables. Yuck!
Just got back from a nice round of golf, but man it got hot. Shot 42 on the front, and hit the ball pretty well. Putting was meh. On the back though I started to tire over the last 6 or 7 holes. Shot 47. Hit some really poor shots. Still it was a fun round with a couple guys who were mostly out there to drink beer.
Gonna try and get out as a single early tomorrow before it gets too hot. Hopefully score a little better.
At our age heat is our friend. Have fun.
I guess enforcing the border and immigration laws are now up to the courts and not the President who was elected.
In case you’re wondering what half a cow looks like.
Looks the same as a drug bust……
Beef is a drug?
More expensive than drugs these days.
Almost $2,000 for a half beef
No.
But the “bags” of beef just looks those bags of drugs on some Border Enforcement show I watch when they get people crossing the border with drugs.
Pretty amazing what those Border agents do to find it.
Cut up cars etc…..
Which half is it?
Either right or left.
Out on Moffit road I can tell
I’m waiting on a call from a guy. I stopped by the antique store, and I guess the owner just acquired an entire binder full of 380s and sort of Vikings cards and memorabilia. I left my number and told them to have himcall me.
Yum yum
Is that a white pizza with mushrooms and some tomatoes on top?
Nope, breakfast scrambler. Eggs, taters, sausage, veggies, & salsa.
Still good.
I love breakfast food. I’ll eat it anytime of day.
Ever make breakfast pizza?
Yup. My first non-farm job was in high school making pizza at the hot stuff pizza at the gas station in my hometown. I made lots of breakfast pizzas there, ate a lot of them too. Great hangover food..
Me too. Just got back from Juno Beach further south in Florida. Had fried chicken and grits covered with gravy topped with three eggs. Could barely drive home.
And the seafood down there was out of this world.
Which is worse?
Fasting or that plate of Cholesterol ???
Can’t see a team giving us enough draft capital trading out of 24, however, i was wrong once.
depends on how far out of round 1 we’d go. but even getting an extra middle 3rd rounder to drop a couple spots might be worth it.
but i do like having the 5th year option on a 1st round pick
Yeah, it was especially important for Cine!
oh hey, butthead
Lol
If they can trade back a spot or two, do it and draft IOL with the dude from NDSU.
Grey Zabel.
Think protecting JJ paramount. Not sure the thoughts on Brandel.
Brandel did fine and the value for IOL in this draft is supposedly in rounds 3-4. There are a lot of mid tier tackles that project more as guards. No need to overdraft a mid level talent from a mid talent school. By drafting on of the later guys you also hopefully end up with somebody that has experience at tackle if you need him to step in in a pinch.
No charges for the idiot keying tesla vehicles to the tune of over 20k in damages, but the idiot AG has time to sue over men playing women’s sports.

Just those fine folks from Charlottesville…..oh wait….wrong talking point….
i guess the only things i want to know, are:
has JJ McCarthy taken the covid vaccine
and does he intermittent fast
LOL
Freezy wins.
I heard he was up to 240…Is that too heavy for him?
His college playing weight was around 219.
Too heavy, he needs to fast some like Fkey.
But then he’ll die of heart disease
lol good stuff
Does he do the darkness retreat?
Can he play gourd?
Tampon Tim employee caused over $20,000 damages to 6 Teslas let off by a woke DA.Allowed to keep job job and placed in a “diversion” program. This GD state is unreal.
He probably got a ‘pat on the back’ by Tampon Tim.
Virtue signaling with no repercussions so to embolden more Woke to do it.
What the hell is “diversion” ?
Did he at least have to pay for the damages?
Prob have to pay off. Guessing $20 a month minimum. MN has to be the dumbest state in the country. Walz says it all.
Unfortunately it’s not alone, there are many states to compete for that prize.
Diversion means they try to train them to be good. It’s bullshit. No repayment. It is a slap on the wrist. I had kids egging my house and damaging my garage doors over the summer (at 2:00 AM) over 40 times, and they finally caught them when I called one night. They got no charges, they were put in a “diversion” program (trying to get them to be good in the future and explain what they were doing was wrong). I couldn’t even get their names to sue for damages because those teenage terrorists were minors.
So just another bullshit liberal program that won’t work.
I’m sure the kids only did it because of the oppression they have experienced under the white patriarchy and therefore they should be afforded every opportunity to change their lives and quite frankly JRo should probably reimburse them for the trauma that he caused them by having a nicer house and then putting them through the stress of talking to the cops.
Na. Jro needs to get a shotgun with some rock salt. Give them a little get up and go. They’ll forget about oppression.
Haha. Unfortunately, assaulting a minor could get someone in big trouble, though they can do whatever they want.
Good point. I couldn’t believe the excuses made for them, and the fact they wouldn’t even give out parents’ names and addresses for a civil suit. Perhaps I could have forced them to via my own lawsuit just for the info, but they are a “protected class” so basically zero consequences.
Yep!
I’m hoping there are enough sane people in this state to straighten things out at midterms. I am also not holding my breath. Midterms are a long way off.
State is progressive beyond believe. I guess the left wants socialism. I just shake my fucking head of people holding office.
What about the people that vote those fools in.
Puppies at 9 PM CST.
Mild at 10 PM CST.
Guess i have to set alarm. WT…?
I’ll be asleep
I am watching neither. I will watch Friday as the wolves play, since that will start earlier.
Stocks down….Trump Bad
Stocks UP….Trump Bad
Woke Logic at its finest.
Woke logic is simple – everything Trump does is bad.
I mean, he is the embodiment of evil, quite possibly the anti-Christ.
Well of course, Trump is simply manipulating the stock market so he and his friends can get richer….it is so obvious.
There is a crazy ultra lib pastor here in my town that posts a weekly editorial with religious overtones of good (liberal) vs evil (conservative) that puts me over the edge but keeps me crawling back for more week after week, damn her eyes. She had some whopper about the billionaires making millions on the stock market. Apparently we normal folk don’t have access to the same stock market…don’t have the ability to buy stocks when the market dips…pay capital gains tax unlike the billionaires when we realize a gain…etc etc etc.
Well as a (mostly) conservative Gouger you are lumped in with he billionaires and are therefor part of the problem for the left.
Their definition of ‘conservative’ seems to be someone who can think for themselves and decide what is best for them and their families.
So where’s the crazy part? (I kid, if she is saying only rich conservatives are benefiting from the stock market she should check into Pelosi’s net worth.)
And Soros usually does very well too.
Yep. Only Trump gets more money win the market is up, and all other investors only lose money when the market drops.
It’s proven.
Damn I meant to post a stonks gif but was replying to kfey.
I saw MT made a post about one new study that was released about fasting and it showing an increase in cardio vascular issues /heart problems in people. Iv learned to take every study with a grain of salt since COVID because I know the process studies go through to be published and made public is very flawed.
That being said MT, I have questions about the study. What was the core demographic of people involved in the study? Where they all considered over weight when they tried fasting, how old were they? Did they have prior medical issues? What was their diet like? etc. These are all small things that add up and can throw things off. I question the study because I’ve naturally fasted since I was in JH. I stopped eating breakfast because I was never hungry in the AM any way and I got to sleep in later for school. I eat between 6-8pm at night and dont eat again until 11-noon ish about every day so thats 15-18ish hour fast every day for the past almost 20 years of my life and im perfectly fine and healthy. Not over weight at all. But I also would say I eat healthier then the average American (low bar I know) im not a health nut, i just calorie and sugar watch. Were there people like me in the study?
I just need more details because I refuse to believe A causes B with out knowing the context.
There is a lot of context and many confounding factors to consider for all studies (they can never take out all confounding factors in life to study one single aspect perfectly). I have a hard time believing a lot of studies due to overlooking obvious things or too many factors, and previous lies from “scientists” regarding COVID and other things have made me more skeptical. I do believe that reduced caloric intake in general has been shown to lead to longer lifespans, which would lead me to believe that as long as you’re not over-eating a huge amount when you’re not fasting, then it is probably fine or even good for you. That is my take on it.
That would be my thought as well. I think we have to ask, “Why do most people start fasting?” And I would say thats for weight loss/general health. “Who typically needs that change?” Overweight/unhealthy people. I can see that system shock causing problems with said people. Fasting can be beneficial but it has to be done right.
Can you elaborate on the lies from scientists regarding COVID-19?
About the only thing I can think of that was lied about was that the lab leak theory was discounted without any actual attempt at disproving that theory.
Yes there was the no kids in school, wear masks, close businesses, etc stuff that we all suffered through but in my recollections those were all policy decisions driven by a number of factors, not scientists lying about things.
If you got the shot you couldn’t pass the virus on to someone else. Was that policy or science?
Being 100% honest, I don’t remember that exact claim being made, nor published. Given that there was little time to test the vaccines in the setting of a pandemic I doubt there were any publications on record. I do believe and research has borne out that receiving the vaccination reduces risk of contracting the virus, lessens severity of the infection, and does reduce (but not eliminate) the risk of passing the virus on to others.
The latter, by the way, is the exact reason I get the flu virus year after year. Unlike the lay population, I am constantly in contact with ill people and immune compromised people and have no desire to share the two populations with one another.
I believe the statement was made by Biden, not a scientist but not a policy statement either.
But my problem here is Fauci is a scientist and really the chief scientist of the government on this matter. Yet, he didn’t utter one word correcting or even ‘messaging’ Biden’s statement.
I have no issue with your having a problem with Dr. Fauci’s response or lack thereof. He was the captain of the ship so anything that happens on the ship is his responsibility. I think it would massively suck to be the captain of the ship during a deadly pandemic.
Reports are that Fauci made millions off of vaccine’s. Don’t know if its 100% true, but I believe it. Which could explain why he kept pushing vaccines even though they weren’t as effective as he claimed.
In the long run, people always appreciate honesty.
It’s always tough to be the captain of the ship in very difficult times. But there’s a correct way to handle it and a way(s) not to.
Fauci quotes…..
“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated…”
“It was likely created by at a wet market….”
“Wear a mask for protection…”
“Stand six feet away from people….”
“Two weeks to flatten the curve….”
“You can’t pass the virus if you are vaccinated…..”
“Natural immunity offers little protection compared to vaccinated immunity….”
Let alone Fauci himself approving and moving gain of function research to the Wuhan lab in 2014 after the Obama administration banned the practice.
Fauci and Medical Science have their dirty hands all over this pushing a specific narrative.
It became politics, which has now damaged anything coming out of the medical community.
Unfortunately.
yeah, we were pretty much lied to, then we had 5th and 6th graders playing basketball with masks on….its hard for me to describe how absurd that was….let me try….It was REALLY REALLY REALLY absurd….but this is what the good folks at the CDC (scientists) said we should do.
Heh, we went to several basketball games during the pandemic and obviously wore masks, social distanced from other families during the games. I never saw players wear masks (in Montana) but the cheerleaders often did. FWIW.
In minnesota they had to wear masks – they said it was at the recommendation of the cdc.
North Dakota wasn’t bat shit crazy, so no they didn’t wear masks.
Yep.
Each State made their own rules.
Delaware had a rule that no more than 5 people could be together for a Holiday gathering.
Churches closed. Liquor stores open.
Red states were more free than blue states. Of course all based on SCIENCE !
Ol Tampon started a snitch line for people being together and now screams about Trump’s overreaching dictatorial tendencies.
Tampon, man who wants Tesla stock to be crushed when state pension fund has (teachers, 1st responders etc..) have 1.6 million shares. This is a fucking clown that word salad picked as a running mate! Left is good now, got AOC and Bernie jetting across country arguing oligarchy.
Kamala picked Tim because he was the only one dumber than she was.
And now he’s out campaigning, excuse me, I mean conducting “town hall meetings” all over the country, don’t know when he finds time to screw up Minnesota worse than it already is, but he does it.
I can give them a break for the first few months.
If they would have just said, we don’t know how to deal with it, they could have saved themselves a lot of backlash IMO.
But they chose to lie about it.
exactly….that first spring I have no criticisms of anyone. It was new, it was scary…but by the fall we pretty much knew what we were dealing with. A virus that was deadly in the elderly population but not really for healthy adults.
And KIDS were at no risk. and yet we closed schools and sports….so stupid.
I remember the canceled a lot of college football that fall and I was thinking “yep, smart move, lot of 70 year old diabetics playing college football.”
LOL…..
That is exactly the point. If they had said we are not completely certain, but our best guess as medical professionals is to be this……
But they chose otherwise.
Come on now, bow, that was never said. That statement doesn’t exist, and there were never any lies about COVID according to MT.
I named quite a few things, but this is another great list. But of course, some people will claim they were never said or that they don’t remember because perhaps they think it is stain on their profession or whatnot, or worse yet, they actually believed (or still believe) it.
Claiming the ol’ “I don’t remember that being said” like politicians, eh? Selective memory.
I welcome you to watch this channel and his videos from the 2020-2022 time period. He digs into false reports and studies that the media was using to back up their shitty policies back in the day.
You should watch The Fat Electrician video about the Got Milk campaign. It was all a government psy-op.
So is “modern art” like the impressionist painters.
I watched this video. I’m going to be honest and say I’m not going to sift through dozens of 40-80 minute long videos by Chris Martenson trying to find the key moments where he provides documentation of scientists lying to the public about COVID-19. He takes up to 7 minutes in this video alone just to explain the meaning of a single line in the response to his FOIA request.
I don’t dispute that I myself scratch my head at some of the policy decisions. Don’t dispute that the media news cycle focused on continuous updates of death counts and case numbers and drove general hysteria. I don’t dispute that at my employer even a year after the vaccine was made available and case counts were manageable that we still had remote only meetings.
I also don’t dispute that many people died during the pandemic. Our hospital had the worst of it in the entire state. Were I in charge of policy I don’t know what I would have prospectively done different without knowing what I now do.
I do take issue with the lies from scientists meme. Show me the evidence and I will believe it.
Then why did the scientists often say we just follow the science when in fact there was no real scientific evidence at that point, only their best theories.
I don’t remember, but were you in the Dive for the plandemic or still in the big city?
WAY less people died from COVID than was claimed. Many people called that out in real time (people dying from car accidents were claimed to have been deaths from/with COVID, etc.). I would venture to say confidently millions less people died from COVID than was claimed. It was not nearly as deadly as they would have us believe.
So yes, lab leak, it was killing millions of people at a high rate (rate was WAY lower than they claimed), it was killing young healthy people, the vaccine was 100% effective (which I called as a lie immediately because even 95% effective for vaccines is a stretch), masks prevent transmission, ventilators were helping people, etc. etc.
Yeah, studies are limited to specific data points.
If I eat three meals a day, I would gain 15-20 pounds quickly.
I have a hiatal hernia in my upper stomach, so I usually eat once a day.
I’m almost never hunger though.
Exactly. Also who is funding/backing the study? Does the money come from someone who profits from people eating more? It sounds crazy but its sadly not. Look at the sugar companies in the past and their garbage backing of the food pyramid.
Believe me I know you are naturally distrustful of science. I saw it come up on my morning mayo clinic news feed and obviously it has been a topic of some conversation on here. I professionally do not believe that intermittent fasting is some panacea for weight loss or improved health…which is why I shared my experience with DDP yoga…it led to initial and so far short term prolonged weight loss but to me is more about flexibility and core strength. If a large epidemiologic study came out and said that those that do DDP yoga were twice as likely to die of cardiac disease I would certainly like to know about it and review the demographics, much as you are requesting.
Dont paint me with that wide brush my guy. Thats not true. Science is great, and studies are great. But Science is meant to be challenged and examined by all. Not just :”Drs. and Scientist bow down to us and our knowledge you could never understand!” Im critical because I know the system and the people in it are flawed and are willing to make $$$ and let the average person die. Again, im not dissing the study at its core, im just not buying the result and saying theres needs to be more done. Im going to keep eating what I eat and when I eat it because thats what has kept me healthy. Along with exercise and sleep of course.
During the Covid time I had quite the discussion with a doctor friend over drinks. I come some from the engineering group of scientist. Two plus two is always four, or the bridge falls down. He was more into the science is involving school.
Given how fast the “science” was changing I felt that was hardly science, certainly not sound scientific theory.
Here’s my issue with trying to work my way through your presentation/diction.
You asked for more information on the AHA viewpoint regarding the study. I not only cut and paste relevant data but provided a link to the article in question.
I request another poster provide some details of which lies were promulgated by scientists and you tell me to sift through and watch hours of videos by a neurotoxicology PhD.
I state you are naturally distrustful of science. The definition of distrustful includes skepticism…read your statement above, is that not skepticism, distrust? How dare I “paint you with that wide brush”! The inhumanity!
I did not bring it up for discussion on a slow day to demand that all of you intermittent fasters stop intermittent fasting. Your decisions are your decisions. Why would I bring it up at all? I must enjoy getting kicked in the fucking balls!
You know the system, in reality you know the system far better than I do. The information on openpaymentsdata.cms.gov is a lie, I actually make hundreds of thousands of dollars by just posting items for discussion on here that advance the interests of my overlords in Big Pharma. In school all we did was draw pfizer logos with crayons and learn how to write a dozen prescriptions when only one would do.
More young people are taking up smoking now than in two generations, which is awesome! Free thinkers! If you don’t believe smoking is good for you, the burden is on you to show me all the proof that smoking is bad.
Ask NVF some detail of his military knowledge, he gives an informed answer, but we know better than him what goes on in the military and the battlefield…just watch a few hours of YT videos from this expert!
Religious discussion on Easter Monday, the horror! Show us all the proof that Jesus rose from the dead! Got a few hundred hours of Dawkins videos for you to watch that prove my POV!
Yeah, I’m a doctor. Bought and paid for. And I’m done with it on this site. I’ll talk about the economy, politics, and sports but I will no longer have a word to say on the topic of medicine.
Please don’t do that. You are a trained professional and have probably forgotten more about medicine than any of us will ever know. Now, many of us may act like we ‘know’ a lot, but really we are but bringing a pop gun to a nuclear war.
MT. Man of few words.
An hour to read, two hours to look up the words that I don’t know the meaning of.
I know you’re not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, but I don’t care.
You were the one pressing me for the lies about COVID, seemingly to dunk on me about what I saw and my personal opinions about the situation. You can certainly have your medical opinions, but it seems to me you shill for the medical community in general, which, by and large, lied to us in many ways and for a long time, and it is warranted to be skeptical now, more than ever, after that experience.
MT, we can go back to doing underwear reviews.
Seems to be less controversial than medicine or kirko.
This works for me Surly…
Her stockings don’t match…
Laughing… I think that’s a garter on her right leg, but you have some eye my friend.
I see, she’s a “belt and suspenders” kind of girl.
What stockings?
Don’t give up MT. Some one needs to be the voice of reason.
I don’t think in this situation he is the “voice of reason”. Usually he is logical, but pretending there were no lies about COVID loses a lot of credibility from my perspective.
From the AHA, the reader’s digest version:
https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death
Research Highlights:
Study details and background:
The study’s limitations included its reliance on self-reported dietary information, which may be affected by participant’s memory or recall and may not accurately assess typical eating patterns. Factors that may also play a role in health, outside of daily duration of eating and cause of death, were not included in the analysis.
Future research may examine the biological mechanisms that underlie the associations between a time-restricted eating schedule and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and whether these findings are similar for people who live in other parts of the world, the authors noted.
From that page you can find a link to the poster pdf
Thank you! So the study was 50/50 male and female, mostly white and was at risk to flawed reports of their diet between 8-17 years. Yeahhhh, theres too many factors that could cause that outcome they got from their data. I was say this study needs to be redone and revamped. Im interested in the out comes but these seems like a false positive.
Respectfully, you should share your sources that intermittent fasting is associated with certain endpoints. You mention weight loss. Did you keep a food log before and after initiating intermittent fasting…did you lose weight despite consuming the same number of calories…same activity level?
I would theorize that consuming the same number of calories and burning the same number of calories, one’s weight would be stable whether they ate every 15 minutes 24 hours a day or ate one enormous meal daily.
I’m skeptical that intermittent fasting in and of itself has any long term benefits.
Yep, weight control – calories in calories out.
I would say its helped me keep a healthier diet and at a stable and healthy weight. I lost weight from eating better and exercising more. So combining that with the fasting times has helped me maintain. Thats my conclusion. I am using myself as my source.
I like to use myself as my source also, makes research less time consuming.
I was using myself as an example know several others that “fast” similarly to me and have had positive results. You can look up studies that support and refute any subject.
Wasn’t disagreeing with you, just being a smart aleck, hence the italics. Also, I am a firm believer in what works for one person may not work for another, and vice versa. Studies can come up with general guidelines, but rarely will apply to everyone (smoking effects being an example that applies to almost 100% of the population).
You’re the doctor and this is interesting. But would guess that ‘what’ a person actually eats might be even more of a factor.
Also, do you think level of physical might also bee a big factor.
20,000 people.
Are you suggesting because of the size of the sample, the ‘quality’ of the diet becomes a wash and a non factor.
Correct. p-value becomes tighter and tighter the larger the sample size. Nonetheless the AHA acknowledges that as a limitation of the study.
I would say that cant be a NON factor. Thats a huge factor. And if its not being considered then the study should be thrown out.
Yes, 20,000 is a large sample leading to a small p.
I would tend to believe this study.
Small p is nothing to be ashamed about.
I mean, I would not know, but just trying to make whoever needs to hear it feel better about themselves.
I think the proper term is phallically challenged

I like the black…hopefully you found someone to do it at a reasonable price.
Yup the guy and gal that did it were very reasonable, now they had some typical marital discord while doing it, and for some reason or another the original cheap China made black GFCI’s didn’t work, but the more expensive China made black GFCI’s did work.
Ha!
Marital discord,,, I’m sure you and the Mrs had a few smiles at that, as long as nothing got broken.
On Friday (date night/movie night) while my wife was washing up after supper I said I would change out “one” of the GFCI’s…that went so well that I was on the fourth and final one when she came out of the bathroom and said in a not so nice tone “I thought you were only doing one”…followed by, “When you put everything back on the counter you better put the items exactly where they belong!”
Now I don’t know about you guys but I could take a picture of the items on my wife’s dresser, take them off, replace them just like the picture, and she would still instantly spot that something isn’t in quite the right position. So that was just an awesome comment. haha
Damn that looks nice.
I have no skills
I have a check book that works….that is how I would approach a project like that.
Actual quote from a carpenter in Dickinson that is doing a ceiling project for us (24 feet up not my cup of tea)…Glendive tradesman like to do three things:
well except for that 3rd thing they seem like swell guys.
Just rent a scissor lift. Easy peasy.
The old GTA elevator on the river bank as you come into town is going to be painted with two murals. They are going to rent a 160 foot boom lift.
Having been up on a 36 foot boom lift at max height, you could not pay me enough to go to 160 foot extension on a boom lift, let alone paint all day. Thinking of the sway in the wind makes me nauseous.
I think the biggest boom I’ve used was 120 or 140 foot. Even though I know the physics say if something happens I’m going straight down, I couldn’t convince my brain to stop picturing it turning into a catapult whenever I’ve been in one.
It was actually pretty easy to do. Ripping 12 foot long pine T&G is easy with a table saw, now I have never been someone that can rip or resaw a 12 foot line with a circular saw.
I have to justify my tool purchases. Love my miter and table saws.
sweet!
Brad I found me a legit Gumbo recipe (wasnt seafood, just chicken and sausage) that turned out amazing. I had to stir the roux for a legit hour until it was dark, almost melted milk chocolate color, it was a process but the pay off was worth it, one of the best things iv ever made. Not sure if you do this or not. Either way, looks great, iv debated making it again soon and adding shrimp for more protein.
Yup, the roux is the secret. Gotta make it from scratch or you’ll end up with bleh
Voluntary OTA’s….and it’s Tuesday……
Nice to see the team work on a Tues
JJ is not working….he is spending the day lounging in the locker room…says its a “Vikings Tradition”……
Even if that were true, still more than some would do…
My 5 year old is playing coach pitch baseball this year.
the coach sucks, he is WAY out of his league and doesn’t know how to wrangle 5-6 year old kids. it doesn’t help that most those kids are super disrespectful and their parents have no idea how to handle their own kids.
my wife asked why i didn’t want to coach. i told her i would literally have a majority of the kids running foul poles for not listening or paying attention or talking when they shouldn’t and that the parents would be mad i’m not teaching their kids anything even though it’s the parents fault their kids suck…
alas, my son loves baseball and is having a blast, at this point that’s all that matters.
I’m assistant coaching for my kid’s 9-10 team this year and the kids don’t get any better. The worst ones on the team are the other coaches’ kids too so you can’t get on em too much.
Oh yes you can
The head coach and his kid have a tough relationship because of the kid’s mom. He tries to get him to pay attention but I just don’t think he cares about baseball. The other assistant coach’s kid is just not good and his parents are horrible. He had my kid, who loves baseball more than anything, ready to quit one night because all he was doing was yelling at the kids for not doing things right but never actually coaching them how to do it. I was not there for that or it would have been stopped. His mom is a nightmare as well and yells at every kid from the stands like she is some professional batting coach and I just want to tell her she can help coach all of the kids when her kid learns how to hit and catch a ball. Drives me nuts some of the parents that just overload the kid when they’re in the middle of batting. It has been cool to see some of them improve with the little I have been able to help them.
Yeah, that sucks. I told my son there’s zero pressure on him to play any sport, it’s up to him. I encourage him to try things, but he gets to choose what he enjoys and what he plays. I told him if he just wants to be a bookworm, that’s fine too.
I enjoy being a bookworm
How can he NOT suck as a coach with a bunch of anarchists?
i can’t imagine, being a parent, and watching my kid blatantly mouth off or ignore the coach and do his own thing, and think that’s perfectly normal
He’s just expressing his individuality and it should be encouraged.
Yep.
It is a sad world of today’s parenting.
mostly home schooled kids. probably…..
haha unfortunately for that….it is definitely not
Too easy…..
I actually laughed out loud. 😁
Home schooled kids are too socially underdeveloped to be verbal in front of other people.
Correct.
Most parents are not very attentive and spend way too much effort trying to be their kids’ friends instead of actually parenting. It will only get worse IMO.
That is a hard thing to handle. I remember my wife coaching girls basketball, and several parents went nuts when my wife would discipline their precious princesses by making them run when disrespectful, and also when she would not play everyone on the team near the end of games, but actually try and win by playing the best 5 available.
I had to step in twice to ask parents to leave.
People suck.
I feel bad for the kids who have no interest and are only there because their parents make em. I had a kid tell me last night that he’d rather be at the soccer practice. I support my kids and encourage them to be in something, but I’m not going to force them into something to relive some failure in my life.
Good parenting advice there.
We made our kids finish what they started, even though there were a few cases over the years of them joining a sport because a friend did, only to find out they hated the sport. Good lesson for them. Be sure you want this, and finish what you started if possible.
That sounds like fun. Glad he is enjoying it.
We were all disrespectful 5-6 year olds at one point. I remember getting all pouty when the coach was on me for having weak ankles weak ankles you have weak ankles and thinking what am I supposed to do. I guess just be envious of kids with strong ankles that could skate like Lafleur.
I’ve had a great experience coaching, even the five-year-olds. I was lucky in that we live in a really good school district, so most of the kids were fairly well behaved. Even the so-called problem children were well behaved for me.
Some of the parents were/are dip-shits, but I’ve had pretty good luck coaching. I’m coaching the 10-year-olds this year, this will be my fifth year coaching baseball, we’ll be going into my third year coaching football.
Last year, one of the parents was in the stands, bitching about balls/strikes. Between innings, he said to me “hey, aren’t you going to say something to the ump about the strike zone?”
I said flatly “no, and neither should you”.
Great response!
My friend, who used to coach our kids in baseball always likes to tell other parents my story.
I usually hung out at practice or was there early so I got to see my friends (the coaches) yelling at their kids at practice. I never seen them yell at any other kids especially mine. So I asked him once, why he never yells at my kid like he does his kid? He smiles and says he never has to, my kid was always where he needed to be and if he wasn’t he listened the first time so the next time he was where he was supposed to be. So the next game they played, the coach deliberately yelled at my kid for a very minor mistake on a play. I think he was a foot or two too close to first base. Later the coach told me he had been trying to find something wrong with his game all day and that was the best he could come up with.
I have to go to my second funeral in a month now. Bad start to the year for old people. Then again, maybe all I know is old people now!
Sorry to hear this. 😔
Sorry Wrenage,
I you know you are officially getting old when the annual funerals you attend outnumber the number of weddings.
Consensus seems to be the Vikes are taking Safety, Corner, or Oline with their first pick.
Could also see LB or TE (if they trade back).
They need a backup long snapper also.
don’t forget a #3 QB …..
Sam Howell
Bowbunch got me on the TE train.
Sometimes Loveland lasts until 24-27 in my mocks, but he is usually gone by then. I’d also like some second round picks.
Kwesis needs to spin straw into gold with only four picks.
The Miami TE was on the radio yesterday on my way home. I haven’t watched any of his higlights or anything, but sounds like a good kid that will be available later, but I’d really like to see Loveland and JJ pair up again or Taylor.
Harrison Smith needs a live-in to help him with his day-to-day life. I’m glad the team is giving him the support he needs…
i REALLY hope we don’t draft safety in the first round or with their first pick
That safety from South Carolina is intriguing, but his ability in run support his questionable. Not sure he’s worth a first.
I am going to the Tpups on Sunday….Tickets are not cheap, told a little lie to my wife about how much they cost. Oh well, you can’t take it with you.
Exactly. Why make it if you aren’t going to spend it?
I told my son not to expect a big inheritance from me. I’ll teach him how to work, he won’t need money from me. I’d rather give him my time now than leave him money when I die.
Will serve him better in the long run. Good work.
we did that with both of our kids. Worked out really well for one. Makes more than I do now.
The other is 33 and still trying to figure out life.
I’m headed to MSP tomorrow.
I doubt I run into GF though.
Good for him.
I won’t be there until Friday.
We will be in the Edina and Eagan areas.
Doubt we will actually be in Murderapolis.
Edina…
Good Gif is good.
I don’t blame you for staying out of Somalia, we’re only going for the game. I am looking forward to eating at Oceanaire, though.
Oceanaire is so good.
Heaven must be Oceanaire and Manny’s on a rotation. And Vikings winning championships by defeating FTP every NFCCG
It really is. I was impressed by the quality of the seafood, I was apprehensive about getting good seafood in the Midwest, but they definitely have good stuff there. The waiter dude told me that they fly it in daily.
I have spent many moons sitting in the Edina Trader Joe’s parking lot while my wife is in there…
Edina or Bloomington?
Off of 494?
North of 494, so Edina proximity, but Bloomington.
Edina
RIP DE Viking
MSP is pretty sweet. Dallas-Fort Worth airport is the worst. All the big east-coast airports suck the chocolate starfish, too.
Yeah.
Gotta risk it.
My mom is 91.
Have to check in on her every few months.
Same reason I just got back from Commifornia.
How was the trip?
He survived and hasn’t told a story of being mugged so sounds pretty successful to me.
We kept moving, never in one place more than a few days.
Harder to hit a moving target.
It was good, about 2500 miles, 5 stops to visit with family and friends plus an overnight to break the trip home from Santa Barbara to Boise.
We can/have made the trip home in 12+ hours but that last few 100 miles is a rough 2 lane hwy especially when worn out.
My son tried to get free tickets to the T’wolves game on Friday. He had a friend of a friend that worked for the Wolves, but now works for Toronto.
I think I know who you are talking about. I think she lived right west of the county shop…or at least those folks have the same last name as her, I think.
No, not her, I know who you’re referring to. She was the team photographer if IIRC. This guy went to Minnesota State with my son’s friend, he was not a local.
Tickets aren’t cheap, I think we paid $130 per ticket, then another $150 in taxes & fees for the 3 tickets.
That was for nose-bleed tickets.
I have not been to a game there in a couple of years, but they are fun live.
I keep entering the lotto at work for Wild and T-Wolves tickets. Free is the only way I will go to either.
I am paying for Vikings tix this season, at least 1 game. I want to see the start of the JJ legacy.
We’re thinking of hitting an away game again. We had a blast in Miami, would be fun to do another. We’re thinking of Cleveland, depending on the timing/schedule.
…
Retiring a Falcon right?
Good old, Kirk…
Easton Stick, NDSU QB.
True story, Weston Drexler’s parents live a block away from us.
He was also an NDSU QB.
Very famous QB, went to NDSU, it’s in Minnesota.
I don’t know why they tie the Vikes to him, I don’t see him wanting to settle for a backup role.
I hope he either stays in ATL as their #3 QB, or ends up starting for the Browns. That would be poetic. Browns suck.
The dude on That’s Good Sports said that the Browns signing Cousins would lock them into mediocrity. It guarantees that they won’t get a high draft pick, a record near .500 with a ceiling of one and done in the playoffs.
“I do believe that Kirk Cousins has enough good football left in him to keep the Browns in QB hell”. LOL
Almost like weve seen this play out before some where, but where?
that is perfect.
Average enough to cause pain.
Keeping the Browns in QB hell, just like he did in ATL, MN, WA, and whomever his next team is.
Likely not.
But being in Minnesota where most people worship him, or sitting on the bench in Atlanta?
I think the Jets might make a play for him.
I’m sure Slick has the hard sell going on with the GM.
Will be interesting to see where he ends up, that’s for sure.
If The Douche keeps playing his game maybe the Steelers pivot to KC?
Have a Son In Law who is a longtime fanatic Steelers fan and he said he probably would stop following them if they signed The Douche. At least for as long as he is there.
GM!

Happy Kirko Tuesday!
Hehe. Kirko wants another long-term fully guaranteed deal. He does not care what color shirt he has to wear, he just wants his HOF agent to get him paid even more.
Wouldn’t you?
Of course I would. I do not fault him for wanting to get paid.
I am just glad my boycott of the Vikings is finally over, since we now have a QB that will put the team and winning first, while knowing he will get paid eventually.
Happy Tuesday everyone, including Freezy.
