  1. I have 20 qts rolling. I know it’s too hot, but we Beaumont folk eat it year round, and it’s my boy’s birthday. I noticed these at heb for the first time yesterday and grabbed them on impulse, but now I’m second guessing throwing them in. It couldn’t hurt anything, could it?
  2. Fun fact: my granddad contracted a bad case of flu as an adult that left him with Type 1 diabetes (which at that point was known almost exclusively as juvenile diabetes). A 36 year old nasa engineer with 8 children at dx, he bio-hacked his way to health for more than 50 years, finally dying at almost 87 years old. He was one of the first patients to use a portable insulin pump in the 70s. He was always an early adopter of technology. I miss him greatly.
  3. I need to go back and read. I thought the main premise was that calories out and calories in are not independent variables, and that reducing caloric intake would cause weight loss initially, but eventually the body would adapt and reduce caloric expenditure (beyond the predictable decrease associated with not having as much mass). this is what you’re saying has been debunked?
  4. Ah gotcha. I did not remember him saying it that strongly. The main takeaway I had is that he asserts that not all calories are created equal, which I think is common sense.
  5. My apologies; I am not a physician. What makes you say he’s a quack? I don’t know about the science behind his advocacy of low carb intermittent fasting, but I think for the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes they would be better off adopting low carb IF than most other diets.
  6. I found the diabetes code by Dr Fung really fascinating.
  7. i'm a beaumont girl, so i picked vic and al's for date night this wknd based on this thread. really solid. gumbo is especially delicious.
  8. False. Not even the worst H‑E‑B in temple.
  9. Lulz. Yes. And yes.
  10. Obviously. But I’m guessing he just got irritated at the first non-obvious bit of jargon and decided not to care what a FRQ was. For context, this is the convo that inspired my post: Me: “the guy said—“ Him: “wait. What guy?” Me: “I’m about to freaking tell you what guy. The guy said that when he comes to do the trees he’ll need to start with the ones around the downed power lines.” Could I have said “the tree guy?” Sure. Would that have been better? Sure. Would you treat a coworker or buddy that way? Probably not.
  11. Totally. What you’re describing is a conversation between two people genuinely interested in what each other has to say. What I’m talking about is the opposite. “Say the last part first so I don’t have to engage more than I feel like.”
  12. This is what I mean. In 25 minutes of her talking about FRQ and the implications of the new FRQ, you were not able to use any contextual evidence to determine that FRQ is a type of assessment? I feel like you just decided not to care what FRQ means. Especially because if your wife has been an AP teacher for any length of time you would already know that FRQ means free response question.
  13. Wife here. I understand from this thread that most guys would prefer to have all the information at the onset of a convo (who/what are we talking about). Say the last part first yada yada. But FOR THE LOVE can you let me get a half sentence out before you interrupt with clarifying questions? Like, are your contextual listening skills so poor you literally cannot even listen to a single sentence without prior knowledge of the parties? I mean, that’s fine if you are really that limited in communication skills I guess, but let’s not act like I’m the lunatic here for not saying the list of characters in advance.
  14. We found Porto’s in Buena Park and loved it. Went three times in six days (for breakfast, coffee, and lunch). The Cuban style black beans were so great—very authentic. The breakfast wrap was delicious. Carnitas, black beans, and guacamole with slow cooked scrambled eggs.
  15. any restaurant recs for buena park/huntington beach? i haven't found anything other than korean that i'm excited about.
  16. lol resting qanon face
  17. Do you even empirical research bro? Why would athletics be exempt from something so well documented in the corporate and education spheres? Again, I don’t even think it’s a necessarily bad thing. It is most definitely a thing.
  18. wow. case closed. a master of rhetoric.
  19. All of those coaches scream obscenities in their players' faces and are surly with the media. That Pop is beloved is my exact point.
  20. Then explain how you equate her behavior with that of Marshall and Knight. Wow it’s almost like I predicted there would not be a consensus about another male coach in her category.
  21. Why don’t you say that she’s not as bad as knight and Marshall? Gregg Popovich, Kelvin Sampson, Tom Izzo—all act like jerks but it’s perceived as a benefit to their teams (and themselves by extension).
  22. What on earth are you talking about? I’m so irritated you’re putting me in the position of defending one of my least favorite coaches. You’re equating Mulkey with bob knight who was verifiably abusive, throwing a chair on the court during a game, choking a player on video, and arrested for assaulting a peace officer and Gregg Marshall who also had multiple accusations of assault and racist verbal abuse. I have never heard anything remotely like that about Mulkey. You’re proving the point.
  23. can’t really prove a negative, because there’s no consensus on which coaches are jerks. Name a male coach you think is a good guy. And how much women’s basketball are you actually watching to say that these guys “aren’t nearly as bad as Mulkey?”
  24. Comparing her to other tough female coaches like Staley and Summit does not address the claim of Mrs. [mention=2700]TreatyOak[/mention] which is: If Mulkey does the exact same thing as a male coach, it is perceived differently (and reflects more negatively) than if a male coach does it. She is violating cultural norms backed by empirical research. There’s actually much more of a disparity at lower levels and it’s actually one of the reasons why I stopped coaching my kids’ sports teams. Moms just cannot get away with what dads can. I don’t even think it’s a bad thing, necessarily. But it’s a fact.
