| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 306: McMuffin Times Matter |
| Seanchan 06/19/20 6:01:00 PM #265 | I guess I'm a little surprised by the possible Harris pick because she was going after Biden during the debates. But I guess maybe Democrats can put that behind them. Personally speaking I didn't come away from the debates impressed by Harris but maybe she does make sense as a more behind the scenes #2. I mention Haley because, as someone with left leaning persuasions, she seems like an "obvious" choice for Republicans. She's a well liked female and could bleed off some of the suburban white vote that propelled the Dems forward in 2018 (and 2020). So that scares me a bit. I guess I'm skeptical that Trump will have long lasting influence if he loses in 2020 for a Republican party that, in theory, would actually like to be widely electable in the future. I view the country's inability to tamp down COVID-19 on the asinine politicization of the disease by the Trump administration. Having said that, as others have said, the important thing is more the hospitalizations and deaths. Those are the trends that concern me. Positive cases might be leading indicator but the amount of testing being done (or not being done) plays way too much of a factor. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 06/08/20 9:45:24 AM #127 | Isn't it kind of useless to eat that much meat in one meal anyway? I've always heard the body can't absorb much more than around 30 grams of protein at a meal, so the rest would be "lost". So it's better to consume a smaller amount (15-25 grams) of protein every few hours, rather than 80-100 grams all at once. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Topic | Adjusting the contest scoring system based on prediction percentages |
| Seanchan 06/01/20 8:01:49 AM #93 | Safer_777 posted... Yeah I get it. I get it that we usually know 1 game/character that will reach the final match without rally. But still the system is fine. Mostly. Fine is fine. But this entire topic is an analysis of "does the current system work, could it be better and if so, how". Clearly you don't agree. That's also fine. I'm just not someone who agrees with tradition, i.e. always doing something a certain way because that's the way it's always been done. If there's a better, smarter way, I'm all for going down that path and trying. Maybe it doesn't work out in the end and that's okay. I don't want to put words in your mouth so I'll ask a hypothetical question. If the scoring had always, since the first contest, been based on Fibonacci sequence (e.g. 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 12 - 15), would you still be as adamant (relatively speaking) about your stance that that's the "wrong" system? Or do you think you'd be fine with it because it would, at this point, be the "traditional" scoring system for our contests? --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

The A day routine continues to be harder than the B day but it's not quite as bad as it used to be. I suppose I could have tried to ramp it up faster but I'd rather make slow progress. Plus, even though you're supposed to be able to do the 3 rounds in less than an hour, it definitely takes me more than an hour to get it done. I sometimes need 10-15 seconds between exercises just to catch my breath more so than muscle fatigue.
