When you start out … your body goes through a transition: Your breathing may become heavy, and you might notice your pulse quicken as the heart pumps harder to move oxygenated blood to your muscles and brain. Sex seems a lot like exercise. Oh wait, it is exercise. That’s what happens when you start out on a run. It’s probably what happens during sex too but I’m not a sexologist. (Paging Dr. Q.)
As you hit your stride, your body releases hormones called endorphins. Popular culture identifies these as the chemicals behind “runner’s high,” a short-lasting, deeply euphoric state following intense exercise. Surveys have revealed runner’s high to be rather rare, however, with a majority of athletes never experiencing it.
And though endorphins help prevent muscles from feeling pain, it is unlikely that endorphins in the blood contribute to a euphoric feeling, or any mood change at all. Research shows that endorphins do not pass the blood-brain barrier.
That relaxed post-run feeling may instead be due to endocannabinoids — biochemical substances similar to cannabis but naturally produced by the body.
Exercise increases the levels of endocannabinoids in the bloodstream. Unlike endorphins, endocannabinoids can move easily through the cellular barrier separating the bloodstream from the brain, where these mood-improving neuromodulators promote short-term psychoactive effects such as reduced anxiety and feelings of calm.
Hippocampus literally means “horse sea monster.” Left: the part of the human brain called the hippocampus. Right: the saltwater fish called seahorse (genus Hippocampus).
The research suggests that a wide variety of activities can produce this effect. The key to the high is repetition. Exercises you can perform in a repetitive rhythmic fashion seem to produce the same effect,
The mental benefits don’t stop with getting high — regular cardiovascular exercise can spark growth of new blood vessels to nourish the brain. Exercise may also produce new brain cells in certain locations through a process called neurogenesis, which may lead to an overall improvement in brain performance and prevent cognitive decline.
What’s more, the hippocampus — the part of the brain associated with memory and learning — has been found to increase in volume in the brains of regular exercisers. Other mental benefits include:
-
-
- Improved working memory and focus
- Better task-switching ability
- Elevated mood

Yeah. Didn’t expect her butt to be that big. Would.
Who names these vids? They’re silly stupid.
I’m down about 17 lbs from when I retired 2 years ago (and decided to get back in shape). My wife joined an online challenge about a month ago that has her working out 6 times a week and I’ve been doing my workouts alongside her. It not only has been supportive for her, but has really energized my progress.
?
I convinced the girlfriend to try to get back to a couple of spin classes on the weekends. The results were… not promising.
I’m heading out the door to get in a quick ride while we have another afternoon/evening of decent weather, as it looks to be the last for a week or so.
F1 is back, which means long rows are back!
1:45 today, albeit in two sessions – 30 minutes, take dog to vet (and pause the race), then 45 minutes to finish up. An hour two days ago (watching Drive To Survive).
Still contemplating doing something with my dumbbells on the non-rowing days – it’ll be a plus, but that really will cut into my after-work time; I tend to do the cooking on non-rowing days as well, so I’d need to fit everything in.
I haven’t bothered putting batteries in the scale, but I did get a “you’re looking much skinnier” from friends I hadn’t seen in months, so I assume things are heading in the right direction.
?
Also, I can’t do math – 1:15, not 1:45.
I was able to get a seat in an endurance spin class this week. 75 minutes instead of the usual 45. I’m not planning on setting any personal bests during that.
It’s always nice to get an unexpected comment like that.

Research shows that endorphins do not pass the blood-brain barrier.
Huh, no shit?
I am ambling along with my morning stretches/pushups/bench presses’s. I am also mostly maintaining a carnavorish way of eating hovering around 20g carbs a day. I am at two meals a day which translates to 16 hour fast daily and did one 22 hour fast last week. I felt great. I have been on no bike rides since I bought a new POS car that the bike does not fit in. I have to fix another POS to take the bike to the hills.
Just ride your bike to the hills. 😉
There’s a trail I love riding on. It’s an old canal trail, so very minimal grade. The trail is about 10 miles from my house, at the bottom of a valley. I’ve been hunting for a good, safe route down and out of it. Best I’ve found so far I s to go to the northern trailhead downtown (about a 12 mile ride one way).

Even the overrated Skynyrd tunes are better than much of what’s out there. Like many groups with better songs that didn’t get played like they should have, I just skip them until I’m in the mood.

Just got back from a 5-mile run as a matter of fact. I missed both runs last week due to THE runs (e.g. brown water spraying uncontrollably out of my butt at irregular intervals of no greater than 20 minutes). Great day for it, too – I think it’s about 55 degrees, so when my body heats up I’m totally comfortable.

Normal people are afraid of shitting themselves. Runners are afraid of shitting others.
OT: One thing we need to bring back from the ancient world – heads of state going into front-line combat. You want to start a war? Fine, you lead the first charge. For today’s rulers, war is little more than a video game. They rarely leave the comfort of their offices.
Russia seems to be losing a bunch of generals. That sounds appropriate.
Light Horse Harry approves this message. Dashes off an expletive loaded memo to T. Jefferson.
President Madison did show up to “command” the troops at Bladensburg in War of 1812. And any number of presidents did their fighting before winning office.

Took the critter feed in for the Spring, I left a bucket of corn sweepings out, I’ll know if a bear comes by, he’ll tip the bucket over. I filled the bird feeders for the last time, the squirrels have been eating that all winter. There are really a lot of greys and reds around this winter, 1 black came to visit the last few days. Turkeys will be out of luck too.

Sous vide -ers (ists?) any experience with corned beef I got about a 3 ¾lb. brisket and I’m see numbers online anywhere from 180° for 10hrs to 135° for 48 hours, also should I cut it in half?
I haven’t done corned beef, but for a smoked brisket I did a 36 hour cook using this method: https://www.seriouseats.com/sous-vide-barbecue-smoked-bbq-brisket-texas-recipe
Ha!
I have never done a corned beef sous vide but I would assume it like any other brisket flat. Check this for cooking tips. I do my corned beef in the crock.
Thanks Trashy and Sloper, based on the link I’m going with 155° for 48hrs or whenever I get home Tuesday afternoon.
I’ve been very happy with the results of 10 hours @ 185F; largely because I am too impatient to wait for corned beef.
I’ve done corned beef – it works great in the sous vide.
The shorter/hotter will give you the texture that you’re used to. The slower/longer will change it into something… odd bur pleasant. I’d recommend trying that one for eye oof round and the former for brisket.
Where were you and lobot an hour ago? I guess I could still crank up the temp, but screw it, I’m dedicated to the long cook now.
Can’t speak for l0b0t, I was at the dog park, watching Lily wrestle and putting the moves on Banks’s owner. She is the least crazy single woman there.

Lily was putting the moves on Bank’s owner? Kinky but whatever floats her boat.

I went out to get GlibFit by playing tennis with the kiddo. Unfortunately, every court around here is reserved for tourneys, lessons, camps, or some other organized event. ???
It’s getting harder and harder to use parks unless you pay to reserve the field/court/diamond/whatever.
What is this reservation you speak of?
It works great for hosting a birthday party in a pavilion, making sure beer league softball has a diamond to play on for Thursday night, or ensuring that Saturday morning kids’ soccer isn’t waiting for a field, but it has gotten way out of hand. From observing the park in my neighborhood, the football/soccer field is reserved every work evening except Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday, I’m not sure the softball diamonds are actually open to the public at all, the basketball pavilion is reserved at least 3 days a week for martial arts or camp gladiator, and the tennis courts have lessons 4 days a week. Essentially, that leaves a playground and a walking trail for the public at large to use, with the occasional ability to use the rest of the park.
I’ve noticed that more often as well.
I don’t think it is quite that bad around me though the pool does have something planned for every hour that would be available for people who work normal hours.
So that is basically off limits (and not public anyway, but similar situation)
The organized events are most likely ran by a business/ “non profit” of some sort. The taxpayer subsidizing a business because they use “public” turf is a fuck I want to punch walls sort of emotion for me.

That struck me as well.

I wish I could find a doctor to see like these two. My last doctor visit I asked about my blood test. ” what was my Vit D level”? He said he did not check that. One of the things that saved folks regardless of age from having a hard time with Covid and the fuck did not even write that in to a blood test. I knew he was an idiot at that point.
I don’t know how you find a decent Dr. in the USA, I gave up. Most of them do not give a shit about your health, they seem to be pushers for the parm industry more than anyting, they’re happy as long as you will take every new drug that’s being pushed at the moment, it’s a total turn off for me. And their bedside manor is disgusting. Oh yeah, you have cancer and you’ll probably be dead in a week, there’s no hope for you, but this is perfectly normal, you’re old, sorry, we can’t fix you, be sure you pay your bill for me doing nothing and schedule your follow up so I can do more nothing.
Last doctor I had here told me that the only reason to buy vitamins was to contribute to the US economy, but hey, there’s a new drug I can prescribe.
In next town we have a new clinic that is month to month pay. Like a subscription to health care. I would do it but they seem to be full on maskers even now. That tells me the Doc is an idiot. Just because a person finishes medical school and an internship does not mean they have any sense. Fer fucks sake, look what the idiots have been telling us for the past 50 years. Eat margarine!
Did you know what will happen if you go to those fake doctors? You’ll probably have to take cold showers and then you’ll turn purple from a balm and probably have a 911 call. You never watched Seinfeld? And also, Pfizer needs more profits to help keep you safe and the new Covid money is almost ran out and the Rethuglicans have a war against medicine and stop worrying about your silly vitamins, there’s a novel virus out there and you need 10, well at least 20 more boosters!
I got a list from my mom of special tests to ask for next time I get blood work – due to significant history of heart disease on her side of the family (even for the healthy folks). My primary care Dr last summer didn’t want to go for the initial set based on my age (40) – and cost, but I’ve updated my family history in my record now and my endocrinologist says she’ll order more of them this next appt (although may be more expensive even with copay than my normal appt).
Ah yes, a great land of freedom where you can’t even buy your own medicine or monitor your own health without a government approved doctor.
It is bullshit.
It’s complete and total utter bullshit. Someone just tell me that they are not the world’s largest drug cartel. Anyone remember that startup company that became so famous trying to market a self blood test and then they were completely destroyed by the blood tesing indusry and the FDA. I don’t know much about them or the claims that they were fraud, but I can tell you that sort of tech is completely possible, today. But the testing industry like Labcorp are making trillions and anyone who tries to edge in on their turf with their stonage technology is going to be crushed by the industry and their cronies in DC. These people are evil, period.
If you’re talking about Theranos, that was a company that convinced a lot of rich people they were on the verge of instant blood tests. They were not, nor does it appear that they ever had a real plan. There’s already been several documentaries about the CEO.
Yeah, but I stand by my accusation that the FDA is evil. And the same thing would have been true if they were legit. Here is some more proof abou the FDA abeing evil assholes.
EVUL

Yeah, Theranos was an actual fraud.
They were, that is some fucked up shit. Good for them though they were’nt legit because then they would have ended up in the bottom of the Bay with concrete shoes on, or their Mercedes would have mysteriously exploded at 3am.
Fucking docs are useless. They don’t want to test vitD or test, a couple of the most important markers for dudes.
Look for an MD that got disillusioned and went renegade. There are more and more “functional medicine” docs who are simply done with the system and want to actually help their customers. It might be helpful to start collecting names and publishing them in the forum.
Depending on their specialty, it might also be a matter of asking for a specific test by name – not just “Vit D” per se.
Yes, good point. GPs are the most useless.
Mine ordered vitamin D and other stuff.
Good.
Vit D is probably one of the top 5 health markers. I can’t believe it’s not automatic.
Of course there is no huge windfall for the drug companies for vit D supps.
Most people are also deficient in magnesium. But don’t worry, don’t buy a high quality mag supplement, you can get all that with you Daily frozen entree diet. You’re just going to get expensive pee, I think you have high cholesterol, here take this.
Here’s the entire problem with the medical industry today. They have switched their priority away from innovation and health in general to ‘equity’. Allow me to explain, that means it doesn’t matter if you are sick, all that matters is that everyone is equally sick. It’s the equivalent to the Marxist economy model. Everyone equally poor, miserable, and sick. That is utopia, comrades.

I’d get runner’s high doing cross country in the Philippines years ago – maybe something with the temp/humidity too.
How far were you running?
For me I only got it from running 10+ miles.

I think dancing is probably the easiest way (?) most likely to get you laid, anyway.
My normal runs were 8+ miles. Even when I’d run longer I never got it.

Very nice. It was a bit chilly (just hit the low 50’s) and breezy today, but I got in ~11 miles today. Weather forecast is not looking good for getting any more rides in outside this month. On the plus side, I’ve gone to 6 spin classes, and have three more scheduled for next week.

Sunday is deadlift day. Topped put at 3x 5 185 pounds. My form was starting to go (shoulders rounding) so I didn’t go any higher even though I know I can.
My dailies are usually just 20 minutes (after stretching), so the new goal is to increase the intensity – basically less piddling around, more cycles/reps. Already do not like, so I know its the right thing. Looking forward to semi and full retirement, which will take the time pressure off my workouts.

the DNC is looking for ways to remove Biden before the 2024 primaries. As others have noted, Kamala needs to go first. Then a new veep is chosen, and that veep becomes the 2024 candidate. It will be interesting to see which wing of the Dems – Clinton’s or Obama’s – will have the most clout.

Most days I get the runner’s high about two miles into my run. It was not always this way.
I think some of it is genetics, but I also think you there’s the weak link in the chain syndrome. I think most people need to run slowly for about two years before they can expect their weak links to level up. Until then–even if you have the proper genetics–you’re not going to get the runner’s high. Most people don’t have the patience to get there. I got there by accident.

Any of you wokesters still awake? I finally got to finish Sling Blade. Was just discussing with my son today and talking about what a great job that was from Thornton and comparing it with Dicaprio and Depp in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and Catch me if you Can with Dicaprio. And while Sling Blade was a great job of acting, I cannot compare it with Catch me if you can by Dicaprio. Real acting is a lost art in Hollyweird and we only have the treasures of the past, today it’s only a woke scene of destrution. They’ve finally achieved their greatest ambition by completely destroying Western Civilization and anything ever worth living for. May they all burn in hell forever.
Mentally challenged people are renowned mechanics.
I reckon I could have me some biscuits and mustard about right now, mmm humm…
Anything that happens, I call dibs on “false flag”.
Morning, Glibs.
?
I have to drag myself into the office, but I feel more and more like a petulent child going “I don’t wanna”
Don’t forget your mask. ?

They dropped that charade weeks ago.
Morning peeps.

Something bad happened and they aren’t saying what.
Guessing they means it’s their fault.

“Hold my IPA…”
Howdy Folks!
Covfefe for all!

That’s not gonna buff out.
?
serious insurance claim,
Boink!
I’m amused. What’s with all the flying cars lately? People finally reach their breaking point?
Well it is the future, like fusion……..
So we should expect the nukes to go off sometime soon?
I’d rather not.
Good morning, Bartleby!
Good morning, Lack, Yu, Sean, and U!
Got the back patio mostly cleared of the winter’s accumulation of debris, but didn’t get the futon mattress out of the garage and onto its frame. So far, the weather forecast for this coming weekend looks as if it will still be too cold for me to start having my mornings out at Tranquility Base. ?
Does Tranquility Base face East?
Southeast. Usually very pleasant all morning. (It’s covered.) I just have to wear a cap at a certain point to keep the sun’s glare off my glasses.
Her window faces southeast ?

Love that Western Swing! ?
Awww-haw.
Morning, GT.
Made it to the office. Apparently they rebooted my work desktop on me. Bye bye unsaved notes.
Aaargh! Happy Monday! ?
“Bye bye unsaved notes.”
“Commit and push upstream frequently” is my mantra, after losing 2 weeks of work when I spilled Covfefe on my workstation during a code review with m manager.
Mornin’, reprobates
There is no version control for random notepad scribblings taken during meetings (of which I have far too many). These aren’t deliverables or documents that need saving, more like a collection of post-its.
“There is no version control for random notepad scribblings”
*checks latest release*
Random scribblings, right there.
I put that stuff in the quick notes section of OneNote.
I’d sooner go back to paper notes.
*shrug*
The quick notes function isn’t half bad.
I’ve never figured out how to make use of that thing.
If you’ve ever used the sticky notes app on windows, it’s basically the same thing. A small text field that you can enter text into and leave on the screen without chewing up too much real estate.
I don’t use it much because I have my entire to-do list in OneNote. It’s easy enough to just add another page to my to-do list and put the relevant notes in there.
I meant the whole app.
I have my own digital Stickies app that I use.
*looks at desk littered with post-its*
Good Morning GT and the rest of the morning crew.
I admit that this was a very productive week off, but I am seriously sore and hurting. Should have started farming stuff 10 years ago. This getting old s**t sucks.
So very happy to see the antics of some interesting people here.
🙂
So, how are the sheepies doing?
The two new babies are doing great, freely frolicking and enjoying the hell out of life.
The one who is next to deliver birth, has not, haven’t been able to pin her down and examine her. Her “V” looks “normal.
Snowbunny is next to deliver, but is at least a month away.
The ram that broke through the fencing to be with the ladies is back in his male jail.
I had some help with the neighors boys this weekend, got the second pasture almost finished. I can start to rotate the grazing area. Its important for several reasons to do that.
They also helped us pin the mini cow so we could loosed her halter. It was tight on her, and she just does not like me.
Glad they’re doing well. I’ve got no advice for handling farm animals. All I know is theory from online research for books. Maybe the cow will stop hating you on her own.
Not going to lie, she has mass.
She moves where she wants to.
I do know enough to know that most cows outmass humans.
Is it a Jersey mini? One of our Jersey bulls is considered a mini, but still weighs ~800 lb.
Its mw wife’s project, so i cant confirm if its a Jersey mini- sounds about right. 800 lbs looks about right.
And pregnant.
Very cool, good luck with the birth.
I saw online that someone has been breeding miniature cows as pets.

Bah, All Creatures… would have been more apt.
Good morning everyone. Never learn too much about those whose work product you enjoy. She went from the hottest female in Cincinnati radio to a purveyor of phony-bologna Eastern mysticism and promoter of a fundamental misunderstanding of weather. https://youtu.be/g_LZoAYAWQ8
Chemtrails?
Everyone preferred Maryanne Bailey. Even if she was pro-ERA.
Errr, blessir harrt, anyway.
(Grunt to self: Mary Ann, most likely.)
Interesting view – through a rifle scope.
NPR had a multiple-minute segment on a US version of Eurovision that is apparently happening. They of course thought Eurovision was the greatest thing EVAH! but were afraid that it would be too “queer” for a nation “founded by Puritans.”
