Somehow, I can tolerate “jpheg” much easier than the forsaken “jif.”

They’re also at the lowest drainage point for that whole valley. Plus, the properties of the lakebed make it so that water is very slow to soak into the ground, so it’s going to take a while for things to dry out.

That was my first thought, but I think the legend is just wrong, as I don’t see that second red next to the blue anywhere.

Hah, same! Tried to zoom in, but no luck reading it.

Hah, the number on my bank account sometimes feels like it’s just pixels.

But most valuable to me would be old irc chatlogs with people who’ve passed. It’s been years since I’ve felt the need to pull them out and read them, but I’m happy to know they’re there.

I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I’ve had enough of the all feed, there’s plenty to see without the horror stories.

Some of us embrace the crumb life.

Trypophobia, something about those kinds of holes… *shudder*

Yeah, I overshot my goal weight back then without even meaning to. Though I liked what I saw in the mirror (visible abs!), being underweight sucked, I was cold all the time, and had so little fat on my ass it was uncomfortable to sit on an unpadded chair. Not gonna let that happen again.

I don’t think it’s too crazy of a rate of weight loss, I started after getting back from vacation in the beginning of June. My sedentary TDEE is about 1600, and I aim for a deficit of about 400 day, either through eating less or moving more, which turns into about 3/4ths a pound a week.

Yep! I was thinking that too, really aiming to keep it up and not lose focus this time.

Yeah I developed some disordered eating patterns during that first large weight loss, started obsessing about food and my next meal. Those thoughts would come back every time I tried starting up the diet again, which made it such a struggle these past few years.

I haven’t noticed an uptick in food obsession in this latest attempt. I wish I had some concrete reason as to why, but the only thing I can think of is that I’ve been generally feeling less stressed the past couple months, and I have had the bad habit of reaching for sweets when stressed. I know that I’m happier dieting if I can resist spending calories on sweets, and use them on real food instead.

As for a counting app, I used to use myfitnesspal until they paywalled their barcode scanner last year, which is when I switched to loseit, which I’ve been mostly liking (with a few minor quibbles).

I tell her she’s a pretty kitty all the time ^-^

My fiance and I eat out about once a week, and we often choose local places where we know we’ll get 4 meals off of a $15 platter of food. It’s certainly not as cheap as cooking at home, but sometimes you want a giant pile of orange chicken, and not the bother of prep/cleanup.

Man that wiki page is a trip, what a crazy life.

I love Townsend’s videos, and learned something new. Always thought Welsh rabbit contained actual rabbit, rather than being a cheese sauce on toast, now I’ll have to try making it!

Maybe some non food gift, like a bouquet of flowers? Or a gift card to a local movie theater or other non food activity?

There’s a blast from the past. I had to look the guy up, and seems like he does motivational speaking now.

Yep, and he’s probably the guy responsible for the nibbles higher up. They love my tomatoes, and become absolute terrors in my garden this time of year.

It’s not the age of the person, it’s the number per 100,000.

Perhaps try dehydrating the paste into a powder? Don’t know how much flavor charge you’d get, as that’d probably volatilize some aromatics, but could be worth a trial run.
