Yes, pretty much. The weight should go up because of the explosive movement from your lower body. The arms are just meant to catch it overhead.

Excellent movie.

Holy shit. I had completely forgotten about this book.

Actually I still can't remember it because I was young when I read it, but I def remember the artwork.

One of my hobbies is the sport of weightlifting (the snatch and the clean & jerk). There is a rule called the Pressout Rule that keeps lifters from pressing the weight out overhead - basically you can't catch a weight overhead and then muscle it out to full extension. This rule is pretty unpopular with a lot of folks because the judges judging the lift may see your arm shake a bit and decide it was a pressout. I'm not a big fan of the rule.

Ah, that's a bummer. Thank you for finding it!

I need to print this out and put it up somewhere. If I even remember to do it. I'm such a dummy who can't remem-

OK I'm going to print this right now.

It accumulates in bone, yes, but not all of it does. It also collects in blood and organs where it is passes fairly quickly. The FDA sets their guidelines based on safe blood levels of lead and their recommendation is I think 1/10 the actual value to build in a pretty big safety buffer.

We're already exposed to lead constantly through the environment, etc. It's not just present in foods and other man made things. It's definitely in many of the foods we eat, not just protein powder. Root vegetables, grain crops, etc. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0963996920303951

I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea to try your best, but I also don't think it's worth stressing over with these protein powders compared to other stuff you may already be ingesting.

This is not really a big deal.

The MADL for lead outlined by Proposition 65 is 0.5 µg of lead per day. This value was set, arbitrarily in 1989, even though scientific evidence continues to show that it’s wildly unrealistic and not remotely near an exposure that would be a health concern. It remains unchanged because Prop 65 is a political tool, not a scientific one. Consumer Reports decides to ignore FDA interim reference levels for lead in their assessment. These levels are 8.8 µg per day for reproductive age females and 12.5 µg for general adults, 17.6-times and 25-times higher daily exposure levels compared to the Prop 65 levels, respectively, and are already extremely conservative (more on how those are calculated in a moment).

Not saying you shouldn't take it into consideration, but it's not as big of a deal as CR is making it out to be.

Good point.

Oh, good... looks at my Pixel 10 Fold

Me reading resumes this morning.

Can't do rye, but I can do teff! I've thought about giving gluten free sourdough a try. Maybe one day.

Yes the crackers are really hard not to destroy by yourself! Sadly I'm allergic to wheat now. I do miss those crackers.

No. Are you watching it? One of my favorite series of all time.

This happened in my game. I spoke with the player about having his character swapped with another version of him from an alternate universe, and he was down for it. Then it happened in game. None of the players realized it. This went on for years (literal real time years) before he betrayed them. It was delicious.

Again! Again!

An excellent use for sourdough discard! I've made them before (not this exact recipe) and they're so good.

Sourdough discard crackers were very good as well. Excellent with some aged cheddar mixed in.

I'm going with D. Australia has a good variety of cuisines, but I also get to eat foods from the Malaysian Archipelego and part of Africa.

Yes for sure! I held off for a while because I wasn't sure if foldables would stick around, but it seems like they're here to stay.

It's there, but it's not too bad and it doesn't really bother me.
