@anymanfitness Hi Jason, thank you for all the amazing info that you provide.
Quick question- would you recommend PPL for someone who can only go to gym 3 times a week for an hour each or is full body a better option in that case
Americans are obsessed with protein. They eat about 2x as much of it as the federal government advises, and 60% of US adults are trying to get even more of it into their diets.
Excessive protein consumption could be making us sick. It's also wrecking the planet.
How much protein should you actually eat per day? Find out: https://t.co/S8I4C0WiIk
In the sacred tapestry of remembrance, we bow our heads in honor of the martyrdom of the revered Mata Gujri ji and the valiant Sahibzade - Baba Fateh Singh (6), Baba Zoravar Singh (9), Baba Jujhar Singh (14), Baba Ajit Singh (18), and the countless Sikhs whose spirits were immortalized in the sands of Chamkaur in 1705.

All evidence suggests Guru Nanak was a ritual bashing rebel. He used his wit & logic to question ceremonies and superstitions that didn’t stand up to reason. If he were around, he would have doubtlessly questioned many of our prevalent pretentious practices, including those that have crept in the faith he founded. Happy birthday to the original maverick. #HappyGurpurab
Today, few neighbors of my patient, a 33 year old man, came into my outpatient department to convey the message that he had died by suicide.
On the way to Kasargod town by train, he jumped on to the tracks from the moving train and was smashed to death.
He was sufferring from alcohol use disorder and barely survived a severe episode of severe alcohol-related hepatitis 4 months back. It took me and my department a whole lot of shouldering burdens to get him out of the ICU and discharge him home.
He went through a de-addiction protocol and was off alcohol for two months. But on that train, he was partly inebriated.
He left behind his wife, aged 29 and a cherub of a daughter, aged 3. People love to believe that there is an afterlife and the spirits of the deceased linger on out of love. These are consolation borne out of grief and loss. The young child's father died. The young wife's husband is no more. There is no afterlife. When some one dies, it is same as it was before birth. Nothingness. They become memories for the living to grow around and move on. And nothing more.
Value lies in living a life. Not in living to death.
Covid had destroyed his travel and photography business. He could never recover losses. It was as if, he decided he wanted to die, as he could hardly provide for his family and became dependent on his elderly parents. To die and to quit - alcohol use reinforces that decision very easily. Even if the best doctors work on it, the simplest of answers for the patient always lie at the bottom of a bottle - because temporarily, it takes you elsewhere, away from all worries and paints an inaccurate picture that eveything was going to be ok.
When people think about alcohol use, they always think about the liver. But there is more than meets the eye with alcohol use and the one I dread, because consequences are unpredicable, is alcohol's influence on the brain. It is terrifyingly close.
Alcohol use (sometimes even one drink a day)
➡️Can reduce brain volume and accelerate brain shrinkage
➡️Can reduce "gray matter," leading to brain degeneration
➡️Can make it difficult for consumers to make new memories
➡️Slows down how your brain processes information, making it harder to work out what you are really feeling and possible consequences of your actions
➡️Alcohol targets and feeds negative feelings inside your head - regardless of your mood
➡️Increases anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric disorders higher compared to non-drinkers
➡️Can increase risk of social anxiety disorder and panic disorder
➡️Alters sleep physiology, reduces rapid-eye movement stage of sleep, induces periodic limb movements during sleep and worsens sleep quality
You can never know what alcohol can really do to you - small or large. You can never be too sure either. Because if alcohol is your friend, trust me, you dont need any enemies.
I lost my patient. A family lost their son, husband and father. What can you do about it? Directly, nothing. But there is something we all can do. None of us can stop people from drinking or enjoying their drinks. We are all adults and the most intelligent ones take the right decision on alcohol use. To abstain from it.
But the other lesser intelligent ones, can still help. At least, STOP normalizing alcohol on social media - on Instagram, on Twitter (X), on Facebook, and on your Reels and Shorts. There is no style in it. There is no love in it. When you feel putting up photos of your alcohol escapades, try to deviate and put up another picture - of your dog, your flowers, your garden or a nice book collection or something that is useful for others. Do not give undeserving credit to this socially accepted poison.Take honor in not doing so, because this way, you can contribute towards your fellow humans well being.
@iimcomic Very well put. And that is one of the reason these teams have a loyal fan base even outside of their hometown. There is consistency both in terms of the players and the style:
@airindiain It is AI 137, Delhi to Milan, March 19. Both things I mentioned were not working for all the seats so my specific booking detail or seat number won’t help your team much.
@airindiain never fails to disappoint! AI 137 from Delhi to Milan with non functional air conditioner and entertainment system. Feel bad for the crew on such flights..

In this thread, I'll walk you through "Gambler's Ruin".
This is a classic exercise in probability theory.
But going beyond the math, this exercise can teach us a lot about life, business, and investing.
@steviebreech@Instacart I faced something similar today morning with @Instacart. Luckily, have the screenshots because Instacart removed all the chat history about that order!
@Instacart That’s cute @Instacart! Not sure, what was resolved. The order was canceled again today morning, your shopper’s behavior was inexplicable. Anyways, not shopping with you again. And will follow up on what the “appropriate “ team decided was the right action for the shopper.
@Instacart terrible customer service. Twice in the last two months my order has been delivered to another house and when i have contacted your customer service i have been told that a replacement order will be delivered in 24-48 hours! Been loyal customer for 3 yrs but nt anymore
