  • I also use Tidal, their recommendations aren’t as good as spotify, but they also don’t pay Joe Rogan. Also I did a sound quality comparison between the two and most of Tidal’s audio were better. Though every once in a while I run into a weird quality song.

    For all you spotify peeps that don’t want to feed the fascist machine, checkout Tidal or Qobuz. You can use the service called tunemymusic to transfer your playlists. One month was like $5.



















  • I hired a nutritionist for a while specifically for soccer. She sent me a chart, that I don’t have handy of course that basically gives you a 4 hour window of how to eat.

    4 hours before, a medium amount of low fat protein and a large amount of carbs. Add a bit of sodium/potassium.

    3hours before less protein about the same carbs.

    2hours before no protein only carbs

    1 hour if you have too, only carbs. Example here is granola, or edamame.

    In all cases it’s easier to avoid meat based protein before, as they are too high in fat.

    Post game eat a large amount of protein and a large amount of carbs. Replace your electrolytes with something like coconut water as it has a lot more than gatorade. (Magnesium for example)

    Personal examples, Ive found these fig bars from Costco that have 3g fiber and 3g protein, are small so they fit in my gym bag easy. I’ll eat them pre gane, and these wafer protein bars that actually taste good for post game. If I remember I’ll edit the post for them. Body Armor literally from costco, is the best sports drink I’ve found, minimal sugar, tastes fine and has the most electrolytes diversity.



  • This was me, you’re talking about me. 😂 In the 90’s Linux was barely getting started but slackware was probably the main distro everyone was focused on. That was the first one I ran across. This was probably late 90’s, I don’t remember when slack first came about though.

    By the time the 2000’s came around, it was basically a normal thing for people in college to have used or at least tried. Linux was in the vernacular, text books had references to it, and the famous lawsuit from SCO v IBM was in full swing. There were distro choices for days, including Gentoo which I spent literally a week getting everything compiled on an old Pentium only for it to not support some of the hardware and refuse to boot.

    There was a company I believe called VA Linux that declared that year to be the year of the Linux desktop. My memory might be faulty on this one.

    Loki gaming was a company that specialized in porting games to Linux, and they did a good job at it but couldn’t make money. I remember being super excited about them and did buy a few games. I was broke too so that was a real splurge for me. I feel like they launched in the 90’s (late) and crashed in the early 2000’s.
