And there’s another reason I don’t hang out with people who boil their hot dogs.

Establishment Dems will go after anyone seemingly progressive.

At the same time, this guy has all the makings of a Fetterman about him.

I still think he’s the better choice but I guess we’ll wait and see.

Waiting for a toilet seat to be delivered is really more efficient than getting one in the mean time while you’re already away from home in your car? Or out to dinner near the home store?

Only IF you drive and it’s the only thing you go shopping for and the only reason to drive.

If you really can’t plan your shopping trips efficiently then, maybe.

Walk. Bike. Stop on the way home from work.

I can understand Amazon or other online stores for some things but toilet seats?

Come on people. At a physical store you can actually touch a toilet seat and know what it feels like. I guarantee no one needs a particular brand of toilet seat. Also, toilets seats are relatively dense. It’s environmentally unfriendly to have them shipped home.

This applies to many products.

They made it illegal for them to strike under Reagan. Their strikes were way too effective for the powers that be. So, now, they call in sick until it hurts.

That impotent little maggot having another tantrum? 🥱

FYI, most Mullvad exit nodes are blocked by big services.

You have to try different ones to find one that works. I have found just a couple that work for, for example, Netflix or Reddit.

Proton and PIA seemed to be easier, I think they have more exits and/or rotate the IP addresses of the exits.

I like Mullvad as a company better so I use them.

Odds on Trump appointing her to the DoJ?

And, my point is that calling this research pointless is just wrong because it answers à different question.

I’m not disagreeing that the question that you want answered should be studied. It should. But, the fact that this research doesn’t answer your question doesn’t make it pointless.

It’s perfectly valid research to study whether the results are different between animal-based and plant-based supplements. I didn’t go through the citations but they say:

Recent evidence suggests that both animal and plant proteins support strength and hypertrophy gains when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake

which sounds like the research you’re asking for has already been done.

That doesn’t make it pointless.

There is something to be learned from this. Using a control would answer a different question.

That’s not how science works. You do experiments even to find out if it is pointless.

But, yes, they should have a control group.

Doesn’t matter. The point of the research was to determine if there was a difference between animal and plant based protein supplements for adding muscle. The results would apply to anyone.
