Dipshits that run circles around you and have real freedom that they've earned. Fuck off back to your Jira tickets until you figure that part out.

Re: Fasting
That's almost it, Bill. Just eat a huge breakfast at 11 am and don't eat until the next day until noon. It isn't that hard and you can do it again three or four days later.

Re: Fasting
In my world, in addition to water, black coffee and plain black or green tea is acceptable.

Re: Fasting
So I don't know if this is connected, but lots of claims about inflammation being reduced after fasting, etc. I've had a right knee bothering me for a month ever since I decided to spend an afternoon kicking those light weight outdoor balls to my kids and getting a little too excited to go long every time. Went for a 3 mile run last night and the pain is almost entirely gone whereas 10 days ago it was taking a good half mile to get loose and have the pain dissipate for the rest of the run. Have not done any ice, heat, painkillers, etc. I also don't think it was simply time allowing it to calm down because it was pretty consistent feeling for weeks. Only variable was fasting.

Re: FULL SPEECH: Ichiro Suzuki Inducted into National Baseball Hall of Fame
Edgar's advanced stats are 100% HOF worthy. His WAR was 68.3 as a DH, only. Insanely high.
HOF case, traditional stats:
• Martinez, arguably the greatest designated hitter ever, did his job perfectly: He hit. Martinez's .933 OPS would rank 18th among Hall of Famers, and it's tied with Albert Belle for 31st all-time among players with at least 10 seasons in the Majors.
• Martinez was an on-base machine. His .418 on-base percentage ranks 19th all-time among Major Leaguers to play 10-plus seasons, and would rank 13th among Hall of Famers, between Frank Thomas and Stan Musial.
• Martinez's .312 career batting average is 10 points higher than the Hall of Fame average, and would tie him with Johnny Mize and four others for 54th among position players in Cooperstown. Only 44 other hitters in baseball's modern era have retired with a .300-plus average over as many plate appearances as Martinez's 8,674; 35 are in the Hall of Fame, five are on this year's ballot or will appear on future ballots (Derek Jeter, Todd Helton, Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Manny Ramirez), and another is Pete Rose.
HOF case, advanced stats:
• Even though Martinez spent most of his career at DH, which negatively affects his WAR, he was good enough at the plate to put him well within Hall of Fame range. Martinez's 68.3 WAR ranks at just about Hall of Fame average (69), tying him with Eddie Murray and Carlton Fisk and placing him just in front of Ryne Sandberg and Ernie Banks.
• Martinez's 147 career wRC+ -- signifying offensive production 47 percent better than average -- is tied for 28th all-time among players with at least 5,000 plate appearances, the same wRC+ as Honus Wagner and Mike Schmidt.
• Martinez also has a 147 OPS+, which would tie him for 25th among Hall of Famers, and is tied for 39th all-time (minimum 10 seasons), alongside Schmidt, Willie McCovey, Willie Stargell and Jim Thome.

Re: Fasting
Yes. Zero cals Monday dinner to Wednesday lunch. It works out to between 34-38hrs. Water/black coffee only. It’s a routine now. I’ll take a week off every now and then but I typically mesh that with protein dense calories around my fast and am pretty stable wrt to weight.
I could probably move to every other week and get about the same effects. I like how it makes me feel as well as the associated mental discipline, I guess.
The weekends are straight random consumption. Pizza, beer, burritos, whatever tf I want to do I do…Weekdays are more of a focused routine.
