On the contrary, when I’m going for a long bike ride, I’m literally drinking syrup for fuel and eating high carb snacks.

The carbs are great sources of energy, but aren’t meant for post workout. Just enough to power through a long, multi-hour cardio session and avoid bonking out.

It’s the reward you get to have while doing the work and a healthy meal with whole foods is what you have afterwards. Good to train yourself that the sweets should never be at the end.

For anyone only doing short exercise sessions, absolutely no reason to carb load or fuel on anything other than water and maybe some electrolytes. Especially if weight loss is the goal. Even then, diet should be priority 1 over exercise. That one Oreo could cost you 30 minutes to burn off.

We’re about to have some quality quantum-titties in the future.

You add your milk before the ball bearings? Wtf is wrong with you?

Dynamo lights work off a similar principle. It extracts energy from pedaling or the wheels spinning to power lights on the bike. You can feel the drag and it’s probably about 5w of power. Really not a whole lot. About the same energy you’d save from wearing smooth socks or cleaning the chain for some perspective.

The extra weight required to implement a solution like yours would probably rob the rider of any gains. But in a very theoretical sense it could work if the material weighed an insignificant amount.

If you extract enough energy from pedaling to charge a battery while also travelling, you’ll definitely end up using more power than less. Which absolutely defeats the purpose.

All these “smart” ideas would already be implemented if they were actually clever and deployable. The reason no one does it is because physics doesn’t work that way.

Drinking in my 30s really meant that I won’t get much of a buzz, but will feel bloated and get a headache later. Also, unless I do all my drinking early in the day, I won’t get a good night’s sleep because my heart will be racing.

So…only have 2-3 drinks max for the day and do it before the sun sets so I have the evening to process it. Or don’t bother at all since the benefits don’t really outweigh the cost. Staying hydrated throughout is important but doesn’t really fix any of the aforementioned issues.

It’s poor UI but also I think it’s a sign that the userbase has been coddled too much with things like this. Even Google adding the search bar widget to their homescreen of Android is kind of an illusion since it doesn’t need to be shaped that way. But an entire generation has been programmed to type into a little empty field with a search button that they don’t think of alternatives anymore.

Windows 8 thru 11 are trying to add sleeker and more intuitive interface skins to be more usable for the masses but the underlying OS is still the same. Accessing additional options that a legacy Windows user uses all the time just takes you back to the old menus. It feels so lazy that each major windows iteration feels like a new skin on top of windows xp/2000 because not much really has changed since then other than the bloat and a few cute features that could’ve been done with a 3rd party app.

Obviously being a little reductive here but with how windows 11 looks, I would’ve imagined it being actually different. But as soon as I right click something and view more options, it’s clear it’s still the same stuff once the old right click menu pops up from underneath.

The collision itself will generate heat. And a super continent with less water will also absorb more heat energy without having water near its center.

When the tectonic plates collide again to form another supercontinent, it will create enough heat to kill off most, if not all, mammals. And it will happen before the sun destroys everything, probably in around 250 million years or so.

If I actually wanted to make an event out of it and didn’t have plans for Sunday, then the classic Sunday meal prep strategy applies.

But many times, I also feel lazy or have stuff going on so I try to find one day in the week where I can cook some type of larger effort item that takes more than a couple hours and do the rest on other days. Mind you, I live alone so YMMV. But for example, I could spend one day with the high effort portion of a main dish. This would classically be some type of protein but I don’t always want to limit myself to that mentality. Just anything that I’d be most excited to eat.

If I don’t have the time to make any other sides, I won’t. I’ll have a partial meal that day and do other stuff while I put the rest in the fridge. Then the next day I’ll cook a different side or two. If I do it right, I’ll have a rotating menu of options in the fridge where I cook new dishes to replenish ones that are about to be gone.

This way, I don’t need to dedicate a whole day to cooking, and I can still have fun with cooking in smaller portions and still have the evening to do other things. My meals can also be a mix of various sides which can stagger. This is not always the case as I do find myself just clearing things out frequently to start from a fresh palette of foods. But just a different take on the meal prep that I personally find is manageable.
