Yup... this is up to 300 comments and likely doing decent clicks (they did stop letting us know how many clicks articles were getting) on top of that. Nathan Grayson is a master of it. He knows nobody really cares but it generates revenue.

If that is why you are working out, to be in absolute peak physical condition for whatever reason (no judgment, good or bad) then yes, suffering is a necessary part of that workout.

The issue I have noticed is people don’t actually know what “going to failure means” and how tied this concept is to soreness. When you tell somebody you “go to failure” on most exercises (I do) they think I’m grinding out seven sets and I’m barely able to lift my arms by the end. That is a form of failure yes,…

Liked due to the Stronger by Science link. Love the podcast.

No idea. Haven’t actually heard that one before. 

Its not. Like at all. All the benefits can be achieved by consuming regular vinegar and all the nutrients can be received by eating an apple. Actually more so. Its not at all surprising the biggest proponents of this are keto folks who play fast and loose with the science of that, so why not play fast and loose with…

My general rule is any time somebody cites a “study” I tune them out. You can find a “Study” that will support any bias you want. You don’t even have to look very hard. 

Not really. Tomino started getting depressed while making Space Runaway Ideon his successor series to Mobile Suit Gundam. By the time they brought him back and requested he make a new Gundam, which became Zeta Gundam he was already falling into depression. The story you mention has been debunked by the man himself. In…

Fun story. Gundam Unicorn was written (it was a novel series) as the epilogue to the original UC story of Char/Amuro and designed to be an ending. While Victory does still exist its hundreds of years in the future so Sunrise doesn’t do much with that. Its why it sort of confirmed that Amuro and Char were killed at the…

I like having my official stuff. Also the DVDs were cheaper then the Blurays and I have The Vision of Escaflowne on both DVD (Bandai Release) and Bluray (Funimation release) and got to say the Bluray isn’t a huge improvement. So I expect Wing which came out a year before The Vision of Escaflowne would likely look…

Also affordable I picked the Bluray off Amazon for $25 canadian. I actually just picked up the Wing DVDs last night.  Waiting for a sale on 8th MS Team to have all what I would consider essential series.  

Seems to happen more often than not. I mean, I don’t really expect somebody to have seen EVERY Gundam to write about it, I haven’t, and I’ve written two ranking lists on the subject (The Worst and the Best), a 50 episode weekly blog, and some random articles, but like... there is some just basic mistakes here.

The original Mobile Suit Gundam was supposed to be a one off which ends on a hopeful note. As confirmed Newtypes take their place. It was only later when Sunrise realized that they could make a shit ton of money off merchandicing an eternal franchise of model kits did they ask Tomino to make more. At which point the…

I found it interesting which series they included. Most notably Wing which I expect is a branch to the west as Wing is not nearly as popular in Japan as it is here. Also this served as a nice reminder that Hathaway’s Flash is still a thing.

Yup that is clear.

I got Salmonella (or something like it) from spinach last summer. By far the worst three days of the year, don’t risk it to save some onions.

Response to SD1 in case he deletes the post due to the hilariously bad post he made:

Quebec updated their model thats it. But if he wants to carry the water for the Chinese Government for free, whatever let him.

You know Google is a thing right? Its an extremely simple search and well reported in the media. Such a cover up... but ya go ahead and carry that CPC water for free.

I’m also going to add since I didn’t previously. This isn’t just a run of the mill bad idea. In terms of pandemic Do Not Do list this shit it number one at NO gigantic gatherings. Its like Pandemic Response 101.
