  • I didnt know this until recently either. Its interesting once you start to read the ingredients breakdown on things that have “Protein!” on the label only to realise that (like on the oats I dont buy anymore) it had 4 grams per serving of protein more, but it was just added wheat gluten which has a PDCAAS of .25 so like an extra gram of protein thats actually useful for muscle building…

    I hate to be all “ackchually” but wheat protein kind of sucks for muscle building. Its only about 50% as digestable and effective as the best sources, its still a better source than processed AF white bread if you cant give up the sandwiches. A great many “protein enhanced” things like oats just dump in a bunch of wheat gluten.

    It still mostly counts towards your daily goals for average people but anyone looking for “gains” should be aiming to get 50% from “high quality” sources like milk protein, eggs, meat and soy.

  • Thats a bit simplistic.

    Caffiene has a half life of 5 hours, which is to say in 5 hours your average person will have metabolised half the dose. So if you have 200mg at lunch time, at 5pm your still feeling the effects of 100mg, it could take 10 hours to completely clear your system. If you’re sensitive to Caffiene,have a low tolerance or metabolise it slower you might have trouble sleeping before midnight.

    I have a biblical tolerance, I’m up at 4am for work and I’m on a pretty serious cutting diet. I have my preworkout can at 3:30 and have no trouble sleeping at 8:30 to 9pm.

    My guy, the motivation is right but the thinking is wrong.

    You teach your daughter how to spot manipulative behavior, teach her how to stand up for and protect herself, teach your daughter how to respect herself AND others, teach her how to love herself AND others, teach her what a healthy relationship looks like…

    Boys will be boys, they will be dumb and horny teenagers and they will try shit, even with the absolute best of dumb horny boy intentions, also teenage lesbians are quite keen on trying shit too. You need to teach them to spot the difference between their first love and someone telling them what they want to hear in order to go up their shirt.

    Because the point the dude is making is valid if you take the misogyny out of it. That guy might be an absolutely sexist piece of shit I dont know.

    But there are some very entitled women in the world, some women just dont realise that everything women DESERVE is a 2 way street. Ive broken up with women because they expect respect, gratitude and support from their partner in everything they do but give none of it in return.

    I was a project car guy for a great many years and I had a girlfriend who complained about every dollar and hour I spent on it (despite me also doing the servicing and maintenance on her car) would say things like “When are you going to grow up?” Whenever I got excited about something for the car and (the moment I decided to break up with her) was when I finally buttoned up the last details on an engine swap and went into the house and said “Its FINISHED!” and she turned to a girlfriend she had over and said “Awww look, he thinks he is manly”

    Now Imagine if my girl had come out to me and my mates working on the car and said “I got my hair done!” and I turned to the boys and said “Awwww look, she thinks the is pretty.” If I told her “I dont know why you bother” when she tried to cook or continually criticised her shopping and spending on clothes and makeup…

    Men in a relationship deserve to be treated like a full and equal partner with feelings too.





  • The sad thing is that as cars get more complicated, google is getting thousands of times worse and old forums and photobucket accounts get deleted its becoming very hard to do these days.

    Also its kind of horrifying how fast all the parts prices add up, nothing takes the shine off the terrible (awesome) idea you have like realising you will spend $20k and take 2 years to lose a race to a $10k used car.


  • This is why I’m such a good car nerd. Ive built dozens of high performance cars with tools, ive built THOUSANDS using google.

    At the moment Im spreadsheet building a new drag car. Before I buy a single part I know if its going to go together the way I plan, what all the major parts are going to cost and what jobs Ill have to send out and what they will cost. The weights and measurements of most parts and what kind of end quarter mile results it will put me in the ballpark of.
