I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to avoid your MIL. I also think it’s reasonable for your wife to maintain the relationship.

Can you use her visit as excuse to take a vacation—alone or with friends—or visit your family? Given the circumstances, I think avoidance is a perfectly valid option. Get some you time if your wife is cool with it.

Someone got their name purged from the Epstein papers, it seems.

They’re disputing false claims? So they’re saying there are true claims of massive data breach?

Think about how many times in human history a person in a particular place and time could look around and come to the same conclusion.

Shit waxes and shit wanes. So it goes.

Even this shit is a blip in the grand scheme of things.

So… Squid Game but with samurai.

OK. It looks like it could be fun.

But, this format is getting awfully close to the shark. It looks about ready to jump.

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? 🥱

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.

They’ll complain of AI being woke for not making porn but when they do get an AI for making porn they use it for BBC and twinks.

Right, for the average person, protein supplements are unnecessary as long as they are healthy and eat well.

Athletes (and people with body dysmorphia 😬) might struggle to get enough protein in their diet. But, far too many people think they’re in a position that would warrant supplements when just a little attention to diet is sufficient.

Huh? It’s what the research is about.

Just to be clear, this is about supplements. It’s doesn’t say anything about differences in dietary protein.

The actual title:

Similar effects between animal-based and plant-based protein blend as complementary dietary protein on muscle adaptations to resistance training: findings from a randomized clinical trial

Did that person then get a presidential pardon? 🤔

I’ve $20 on “It’ll be riddled with Russian listening devices.”
