I have finished basebuilding for 8 weeks (5 weeks SE/ 3 weeks Strength) and it has been rough, but I am definitely seeing progress in SE and fat loss. I am 5'9" and 180lbs and would like to get down to 165lbs, so I am in a slight calorie deficit. . Being 62, I no longer have gaining much muscle mass as a goal. I am focused on muscular endurance with 1 set max goals of: high rep push-ups - goal is 80. Currently 29 max. Pull-ups -goal is 15. Currently 0, but 2 chin ups. Lol Sit-ups- goal is 80. Currently 35. and Pistols (for leg strength. Due to scoliosis, I do not do weighted squats). Goal is 10. Currently 1 poorly executed rep due to balance. I may substitute high-rep Hindu Squats to build more endurance.
My question to members is, are there others who have repeated Basebuilding cycles for longer periods to focus more on endurance, rather than strength and mass?

From this video
I'll list some main points from this video. Please try not to read too deep into meanings behind the words. Also note that not everything is translated. Just things I thought were interesting.

• 1:10 In terms of being consistent or not, (GnW is) in the middle or leaning on not being consistent
• In general, I don't think any character is inherently consistent or not, but if I had to say, then I think (GnW is) on the side of inconsistent

He then talks about why characters are called inconsistent

• 1:30 Characters like Cloud and Aegis are strong offensively, which is overlooked in talking about consistency. In return, they are weak defensively off the stage.
• They are inconsistent because if they get edge guarded, then they will have a hard time with that game.

Wraps it back around to Game and Watch

• 2:00 Game and Watch has an easy time recovering, so he will not lose a stock early from recovering.
• However, he is the 3rd lightest in the game next to Pichu and Jigglypuff. Realistically, he's about the same as Pichu because his air dodge is frame 3, so he cannot get out of combos like Pichu can on frame 2.
• What makes him different from characters such as Jigglypuff and Olimar is that Game and Watch has a hard time killing
• Everyone says you can get others to 150% easily, but if you get your opponent to 150%, then they will get rage. Shows 150% Ryu Shoryuken killing Game and Watch at 60%
• Game and Watch has an easier time getting out of combos against characters that try to maintain advantage, but a really hard time against characters that have true combos
• 3:30 Also, his hit animation is terrible. He spreads his hands and arms outwards in all directions.
• Him having slow fall speed can lead to him getting hit too. Being light should make getting out of combos easier but Game and Watch doesn't.
• There are many situations where I get the opponent to 150, cannot get a ledge trap read, get one combo'd to 50, and then die.

Game and Watch Neutral

• 4:15 Game and Watch is not good at going in, so his neutral gameplan tends to be more basic/clean
• GnW can't hold forward.
• Hard to make a comeback, especially characters that can time you out
• Game and Watch has a hard time killing, but is strong defensively
• I think consistency ultimately comes down to the person

Burst Options

• 5:00 Characters that can skip ledge are really difficult. They often get to 150%.
• Characters that have a hard time at ledge are easier, so if those are the only characters you face in bracket, then he is more consistent, but if you can't read their ledge option, then GnW gets blown up, so its hard to say he is consistent.
• GnW has to read the opponent's habits at ledge to reliably kill, so it's easier against opponents you know. This is why I am consistent in Japan.
• Overseas, maybe I wasn't playing well, but I don't really know the players.
• I think given more time, I can get up to a 50% win rate against Sparg0 and Sonix, even though they've beaten me a lot
• Ledge trapping is just reading habits at the end of the day.
• I used to lose a lot to Tsubaki and Jogibu, but after I studied them, I stopped losing. I lost to Toriguri like 7 times in a row on Tamisuma(Online tournament), and I've won twice at Maesuma now.

"Do top players not change their habits?"

• 6:55 They can change, but I tend to adapt during the set
• I hope I can win against Zackray with this same thought process

Also

• 7:10 Two characters I tried really hard to deal with but couldn't were Yoshi and Rosa
• I can win sometimes, but not consistently, so I started using Steve against them
• I'm starting to think Sonic is also not possible, so I've been studying Steve vs Sonic. I've been watching KEN, Onin, and Sonix's matches a lot.
• Oh yeah also Metaknight. That character will kill you off one hit at any percent, so it's very inconsistent.
• More than half the reason I'm consistent is because I have secondaries. Solo GnW won't get you consistent results.
• I used to not care about character weight that much. I even thought it was normal, but people started preparing for the matchup by killing GnW early, so good players would instantly take stocks over and over and it was really difficult
• Characters with bad mobility are easy, but characters with good mobility are hard to deal with. Neutral is hard, and they can catch your landing and Up B OOS. I lost Umebura SP9 to DIO upairing my up B.
• GnW is actually bad defensively. It's just his recovery.
• I still think this character is probably in the top 5. Also great as a secondary.
• I think at the end of the day, it comes down to the person

January 29, 2384 - the day of the last total eclipse is when the raid began. “The day of the sun's false shadow” as people call it now. We, humans, were an unsuspecting victims in a universe habited by multiple vastly stronger existences. When it happened the world had been thrown into utter chaos and shock. The sun had been completely covered by the moon and this event was supposed to last only a short while however after two hours sunlight had still not shown its face upon the earth's surface. This was the beginning of humanity's greatest tribulation. After days of the sun's light not being shown the planet's temperature began to drop and to compensate for this people began to create massive fires but this did not stop the problem. Photosynthesis in plants began to stop, making it harder for humans to breathe. This made humans build labs and create artificial oxygen, which took care of that problem but humans still began to die from hypothermia, frozen oceans, and forced stoppage of blood flow. After two weeks, the sun finally revealed itself and all hope had been restored in humanity collectively only for half the population to be massacred in an instant. “The watchers” had been slowly waiting with armies to colonize our planet and technology beyond our wild comprehension. Technology we can only dream of had been shown and used right before our very eyes and for the first time in all of human history, we had been united as one in our mutual fear and horror. 2 months later, 90% of humanity has been wiped out and the few who remained were used as slaves to cultivate energy. With the use of a Dyson shell, nearly 80% of the sun's energy and heat had been directed into maintaining their energy. Amongst all this time, humanity had collectively agreed to fight back. This began the creation of the liberation group, “the Plague”. These groups of people were the last hope of humanity and carried an extremely large ambition and dream on their shoulders. While “the watchers” were extremely advanced this doesn't change the fact that they were fallible and this group of people were their scourge. They didn't have the military might nor the advanced brain to even keep up against “the watchers” but through slavery and forced labor, the human body began to develop into something stronger. They began to surpass their limits and break the barriers that the human mind had once placed on themselves. Through the selective farming of “the watchers” a new plant had developed that was essentially a stimulant to the human body and a limit breaker for their physical capabilities. At first, they began by using strong levels of acid to corrode the buildings and structures and then stopping their heartbeat to give the impression of suicide so they could not be caught, however, they did not die due to a new system developed from the human's newfound evolution. Due to the strict regimen that we had to follow, we knew all of the places where they would and wouldn't be, all the blind spots of the planet, all the places where they were in close proximity to a chasm, and all the places where we were at a disadvantage. We used the blindspots as bases and hideouts where we could plan our vengeance. After a year of just observing their behavior, habits, bodily functions, and even their schedules we developed a hypothesis that 24 seconds after 7:39 PM we have approximately 19 minutes and 53 seconds in Greenland where we are not being watched nor located. We used this small window of time to gather the fundamental items we needed to fight back and build the foundation for our organization. We gathered food, plants, water, armor, and weapons. We realized that they were immune to cutting/slicing damage and could only be hurt through blunt attacks. With this knowledge, we developed a specific fighting style and used that small time frame to train others in it. We adapted to the harsh conditions and created clothes using spare pieces from “the watchers” specially made for insulating heat, weighing less, and being less penetrable by outside attacks. After a year every person on the planet was a master at this martial arts and had fully developed a counter to all technology that “the watchers” had. However, we could not initiate immediate war on them so we needed a plan. We came up with the idea to have one of our strongest members report to the watchers about our activity and give away one of our bases. This created the false notion that not only did they have someone working as a double agent on their side but also they knew where we would be so they could catch us off guard. We were all there like they expected and they attacked like planned. We had all moved our weapons, armor, and vital items into a different base but kept some things where they attacked to make them think we had not gotten far but this was a dud. Eventually, we had all “died” and had our bodies left at that place as a sign of victory on their side. However, because of this, their ego had grown and they began to underestimate us. The surveillance had gotten weaker as they assumed their “double agent” would tell them everything as a trade for luxury living. We knew that physical power would not be enough so our smartest man collaborated to develop a virus specifically made for their genetic makeup which took about 5 years to extract small strands of DNA without them realizing. Once the virus had been created the incidence began and eliminated more than 60 percent of “the watchers” because of how they were too distracted trying to develop a cure and the vast amount of them dying, we had gained more time to develop our forces and we began to ingest various harmful substances but in small doses in order to gain resistance to any harmful poisons and acids. After new children start to be born this began the origin of a new human species. One massively stronger, smarter, more durable, and with all the immunities and benefits without the downsides. With the birth of this new generation, all of the human race had experienced a collective euphoria. We had begun to secretly train these kids for years and strengthen them in a way the human race had never been before. Due to the circumstances of their birth, they had also developed a strong ability for adaptation and healing factor which ultimately led to humans finally being able to physically compete with “the watchers”. However, we were still lacking in numbers despite the virus taking a vast majority of “the watchers” away. Some of us grew confident and because we were now physically capable some believed we could win the war while others believed we couldn’t yet. This created division within our ranks but did not necessarily break our ranks but that was all depending on your interpretation. We gathered our smartest men and women to make a plan to initiate war, and for 14 days they were stuck in ruminative thought. 2 years passed and we had finally built up the numbers, technology, and physical capabilities to contend with the watchers. Now on the day of the war, all of our strongest soldiers imitated the attack. But this time they were an unsuspecting victim on a planet habited by a stronger species. During the war we had counters for nearly everything the watchers could dish out but one thing we were not aware of was the fact that the watchers could transform into a smaller but faster, stronger, and more durable form. This form took the shape of humankind. So closely related that it struck fear into the hearts of many. Not only was this extremely off-putting but the revelation that came along with it had altered the perception of humanity as we know it. The war had been put to a halt, and all forced fighting in the war had directed their attention to one watcher and one watcher alone. All forces had been completely immobilized and fighting back was no longer capable. With this, the words that had been spoken out of the watcher were a revelation that humanity had not even considered possible. “We are not your enemies. We are you but from the future. In our original timeline, we have been attacked by a species even higher than us. We had been pushed to the brink of extinction and our last hope was only to go back in time in hopes that if we returned to our past selves we could help evolve even more to contend with the world-ending threats from the future. This siege we had laid on this planet and the forced evolution, progression, and tragedy among humankind also brought extreme progression in human capabilities. All of you are vastly superior to your previous forms because of our arrival. While we acknowledge our methods were not the ideal we had no other option. This was the fastest and most effective method to progress the human species although we could not allow the human race to have this win. It would boost the ego of your race and our all of you in a state of comfort and stagnation. With this being said we resign from our participation in this war and would greatly appreciate it if you allowed us to help humanity rebuild and donate technology.” Speechless as to what humanity has just heard we just stood there in utter shock and disbelief. Not a single soul knew what to say and all of humanity had stood in confusion. One man spoke “how do we know this is true” the watcher proceeded to show pictures and videos of them being massacred while some stood in human form and others did not. They showed is this along with the words, “we initiated this war as a way to put the human race through natural selection and eliminate all the weak human being who would not be able to contribute to our growth and success in any upcoming battle. So with that being said what is your decision?” Our leader, and the smartest woman among us had stated, “We humbly decline this offer as we would prefer to evolve by our capabilities and we have already surpassed you so what can you possibly teach us.” After this being stated the war had been started again and the watchers had been for the first time since the “great cleansing” began utterly defeated and annihilated. With the war being won, humanity being victorious, and newfound abilities being discovered humanity had been thrown into an era of peace and prosperity. All tragedies had been blamed on the watchers and for the first time humanity had an ever lasting peace and a perfect utopia where everyone agreed and benefited from each other. With this, we have been vastly improving and slowly but steadily rebuilding our planet and all of humankind. Our members started family’s and genuinely enjoyed the life they were living once again. Everyone acting coyly and with one another was a beautiful side to behold. Everything was perfect until the same monsters who killed the watchers, showed up to eliminate us due to fear of what we could evolve into this time we had no way to fight back and our ranks were already diminished or severely weakened. How would humanity be able to survive this time???Most people had been massacre and captures to be experimented on. Very few of us had actually managed to get away from them and we had only been able to do this through shadow banishment. It was a skill that we had acquired through the technology of the watchers. Living in the void was not the ideal lifestyle as it was ruthless, dirty, and unsafe but the chances of surviving here were massively higher than surviving on earth. Only a hundred of us remained and the human species were basically extinct. With this small group left we had resorted to instead of trying to repopulate and exact revenge immediately we would take the short route. In the void monsters had no sort of civilization and the only rule amongst these creatures were the strongest prevail. There was no sort of rule, order, or even a sense of respect between these monsters. The weak were prey for the strongest, and the strong were killed by the stronger. We took this as an opportunity to not only increase our strength by training and battling but also amassing an empire. The remind of humanity collectively agree that we would bring order and peace to the void. The best way to go through this was by entering the tournament. The monsters held tournaments to watch the strongest fight and kill each other for pure fun. We joined this colosseum and while at first we easily overwhelmed our opponents we had slowly been facing harder and harder opponents as we rose through the ranks. By the time even a single one of us was defeated we had made a name and gained the attention of multiple monsters within the void. We were not necessarily respected or followed but we were feared and simultaneously an opponent that monsters wished to fight. After this we had developed our own fighting ring in which monster could fight and battle against us and only us. We implied a set of rules in this ring. Rule 1; no killing Rule 2; reservations must be made to fight Rule 3; both parties must consent Rule 4; do not make the fight personal Rule 5; it must be between a human and monster. These rules created a sense of security amongst the monsters and while driven by their desire of battle they also abided by the rules. Eventually after fighting throughout the tournament and gaining more traction with the monsters in it. Eventually even the most high ranked demons had begun to make reservations in for our fights. Our strongest soldiers had been the ones to fight them as nobody else can really compete. The first fight had been with a demon who had the ability of immunity. This ability did not only revolve around internal status effects but also could be applied to his physical body. The fight had been the biggest one the ring had ever experienced and it did not disappoint. Eventually we had won and this through the whole entire void and everyone in it into an uproar. Monsters who never even bothered to fight had shown up to battle. The strongest monster in the void and the only monster with a sense of order, self, and purpose had shown up to fight all humans by himself. He agreed that if we win he would pledge allegiance to us all and work under our rule however if we lose we will be killed. This monster bore an extreme resemblance humans. The structure of his body and the contents of it were all human like however he claimed not to be. This monsters name was angel and he possessed the ability to manipulate and control all matter with the sole exception of any other organic material that resided outside of his own body. Our commander and strongest member amongst us was the person to fight him. His name was Alexander and despite the fact that we didn't have any singular special powers like him however our physical bodies were honed greater than any other species in existence. They were evenly matched in speed and strength and even in our capabilities to rapidly heal from damage. They had been evenly matched in all physical ability and the fight had ultimately come to hand to hand combat and who could last longer. Angel was unmatched in combat and had barely even been hit due to how experienced in martial arts he had been; however throughout the fight Alexander had been naturally adapting to his fighting style and developing counters to everything. Our natural ability to adapt to all attacks and effects placed upon us had given a clear win condition; however time was needed to actually see and fully understand how to possibly adapt to everything. The longer the fight took the higher the chance of Angel losing. Alexander had slowly but steadily been adapting and developing new combat styles to counter everything angle could do and even had grown to use his own severed limbs as projectiles and use his blood as a coat over all other objects to cancel his ability to use his field. Angel's main ability had been to control the air around him to increase speed, power, and even get a sense of what his opponent would be doing before it happened. After finally adapting to this his body had begun to heat itself in an attempt to turn it into vapor and due to blood being organic matter of another life form he would no longer have control of the air and the surrounding area. After this the fight had come down to solely base physical capabilities and for 10 minutes they had been mindlessly brawling and instantaneously healing through the damage taken. After a long period of time their healing began to slow down due to bodily fatigue. Biting, punching, scratching, kicking, anything you can think of, they did it. That fight was a bloodbath unlike anything else and in the end they both passed out on the floor with nothing left besides their bodies soaked and bathed in each other's blood. After they had both been knocked unconscious their bodies had been left there in anticipation for them to awaken. The ring filled beyond capacity as people argued and fought about who would awaken first. In anticipation for this once in a lifetime event the whole void had stopped with all its attention. Angel was the first to awaken and he had been exhausted and utterly stunned as to how he actually had gotten knocked out. He had the opportunity to kill his opponent as he had technically won the battle but out of respect for his opponents strength and capabilities he possessed. After the fight had finished Angel had left and was never to be seen again. After 2 weeks Alexander had awoken in a small shack being guarded by one other human and confused after everything had been explained to him he had went around looking for angel but he was not to be found. After awakening Alexander had been massively stronger than before. Due to the physical state his body was put in and all the damage that he had taken from Angel his body had adapted and become more dense in order to take all the attacks while sustaining the least amount of damage possible. After his awakening this began our political revolution. We had now implemented the ring with rules and gotten multiple monsters to follow by these rules and with them being accurate to filling orders more now we had decided to initiate a leadedictator in a sense. The top 5 strongest creatures in the void had been the leaders and this had consisted of Alexander at 1, 2 other demons at 2 and 3, and humans to fill the final spots. We began to implement laws and rules in order to stop the mass murder and destruction happening and within a small time frame we had created structures similar to the ones of the earth. Houses and gyms in order to train in hopes of becoming stronger and even professional combat sports. After 2 months time had passed we had developed a military with our best members in it and humbly had began to repopulate. All this had been done in hopes of regaining the earth and defeated our oppressors. Fast forward 1 months the and the siege of the home planet had begun. They had not been suspecting us however took the preparations in case we had come. Based and soldiers set up in every corner of the world to fight back when the time came we did come back. With this an all out war for the fate of humanity had began and the extinction of either race lay in the balance between life and death.
After the war had began all forces had been deployed to different areas of the planet. Groups that had worked together best being deployed to one part while our strongest being deployed to another. At first we had been nearly even in everything besides technology. They had everything that we lacked and this gave them the combative edge. However despite lacking in technology we made up for it in numbers. Most fights had consisted of large groups of monsters fighting against one or two of our enemy and this has convoluted till their forces had been somewhat deployed. The one on one fights had been more dragged out and heavily impacted the war. Our strongest soldiers fighting against their strongest soldiers in a one on one fight. Everyone has put their all into this battle and left nothing to spare. Our second and third strongest soldiers had the most impact in this war not because of who they fought but because of what they could do. They didn’t actually have abilities specific to them but instead they were born with a type of energy within their bodies in which they called “synergy”. This synergy could be used to amp all their physical abilities but also be used to crate and use techniques or even use techniques that are specific to the traits of the individuals soul. The strength and physical stats of the individual depended on how much synergy they had at their disposal and while some of them were able to gather strength from other life forms it was not a very common occurrence. Alexander fought someone with the ability to control and manipulate momentum. They used synergy and funneled it through all objects of their choice to increase or decrease of momentum of that. This didn’t do much on a wide scale and was a very basic ability but in a solo battle this made it extremely hard to land attacks and even when they were landed they did little to no damage. The most important one to kill had the ability to manipulate all probability. Meaning the likelihood of us even winning this war was less then .0001 percent with them being alive. Whether it was because of a collection of small losses or one major loss did not make a difference. All odds were stacked against us as long as this person remained on the battlefield. In simple terms the whole war relied on the defeat of that person. Our second in command and smartest soldier, “Cassandra” decided to take this upon herself. She was the only one among us who possessed an innate ability and was viewed as the most special soldier but this came at a cost. She gained a talent no other human possessed but in return she no longer had the natural ability to adapt to all circumstances. Her ability was to take the form and attributes of any and all creature she knew to exist. Mythical or not she could take the shape and ability of these creatures and use it as long as she desired. However she could only use one at a time and had to wait 30 seconds in between shifting. Our third in command, “Vladimir” had took the roll of fighting their head technologist. While his opponent had not specialized in battle he still was one of the most dangerous and this was because of his ability to create machines as small as molecular level that shared his thoughts and emotions. These machines were used to repair his body in case on injury, transport information, invade any opponents body and restrict movement, anything that he deemed possible could be done with the use of those machines. But he chose to mainly use them as sort of technological tools to help him further advance his society. The rest of our battles were not nearly as important and were mostly group battles. Afro the beginning portion of Alexander’s fight he had been losing severely and could barely land any attacks at all. After a few minutes of getting beat down and not being able to fight back the adaptation process began. The first adaptation was only a temporary solution to the problem but his body had been explosively shooting out sharpened pieces of his bones and even using tiny droplets of blood as weapons. However this was only a temporary solution because eventually those bones and blood just started being slowed also. The final adaptation and most effective one happened when his body created a function in which he can store kinetic energy and then release it at any given time. This allowed him to rapidly boost his speed whenever his momentum had been slowed and basically cancel out his opponent power. However this still did not stop how his opponent made himself significantly faster. After this the fight had been more tipped into Alexander’s favor but still not enough to actually win. Throughout the progression of the fight Alexander had been gathering more and make friction between the clothes he had and his feet running against the floor. After gathering as much friction and kinetic energy as possible he let it all explode and release all over his body. This altered the form of his body. His body and skin began to form cracks and let off steam. He began to turn dark red and his eyes became shot with blood. His body was slowly crumbling and deteriorating. He had 5 minutes left to defeat his opponent and if he did not then his body would crumble and he would die. Due to his rapid healing factor he had a chance of living if he was able to end the fight within 5 minutes and give himself some time to rest but this all depended on how much he could get done. The battle had been tilted all the way in Alexander’s favor and had no longer been a battle. It had turned into if his opponent could outlast him in those 5 minutes. Brutally beating his opponent and taking full advantage of the situation Alexander did not relent on his rampage. Stopping his momentum no longer mattered and it seemed like the more he tried the faster Alexander got. Steam had been blowing off him. In the end he had managed to kill his opponent within those 5 minutes and had been at deaths door. Cassandra had began her battle and had been absolutely obliterating her opponent. The ability to shape shift from dragons, unicorns, hydras, centaurs, and any mythical creature you can think of. At first she had taken the abilities of a dragon but throughout the fight she had been developing into stronger and more complex creatures. After a while her opponent had been decreasing the probability of her even landing attacks. This made it extremely hard for her to fight and maintain the advantage. She took the appearance and abilities of the mythical deity sun wukong. Due to sun wukong being a monkey that ascended into a higher power he is one of the only gods that she can transform into. After this she gained the ability to not only make clones out of every hair on her body but also multiply the power of each clone. While she does not possess every power sun wukong has she possesses some of them and the most prominent ones. This fight had been a one sided beatdown and only lasted longer than 2 minutes because the probability of each clone attacking each other had been raised to its maximum percentage. Despite this every 1000 punches that had been thrown at least 1 hit her opponent and this was more than he could handle from millions of clones. Vladimir had no special capabilities; he only possessed an extremely honed body and battle experience. At first they had been near equal but the battle began to take a turn when the tiny bugs began to infest his body and eat him from the inside. Due to his advanced healing factor he had been able to stop any significant damage and fight with mild discomfort but this did not change that if he continued in for a longer period of time then he would inevitably be defeated by these bugs and killed. This made the battle a race against time. Expending everything his body had to offer and leaving not a single drop of energy left. Pushing his body to the absolute peak and physical limit. Even going beyond the known capabilities of his body he began to evolve into a higher form. He did not develop any new type of power or gain a newfound power but he did increase and rapidly evolve his physical capabilities. He began to punch with such speed and strength that he created shockwaves from breaking the sound barrier. With this his punches became far more explosive and with every punch thrown he was exploding giant parts of his opponents body and everything within the perimeter. With no regard to his surroundings the battle had destroyed everything in sight and left them fighting in a bare wasteland. Basically erasing everything within line of his punches he began to annihilate his opponent with speed and strength unmatched. Due to all the tiny machines within his body he regrow limbs and was able to counter attack with near no fatigue or even lag in his action. While pushing his body to its absolute limit his body had given up on him. Rapidly healing from constant damage, pushing muscles to their utmost limit, moving, attacking at his highest speed, and even understanding/ perception of all attacks massively faster then he could ever before. Due to all this his body began to give out and in the midst of battle he fell and was unable to recover. No longer able to fight back and maintain the performance he had, he was defeated. Being eaten from the inside, limbs being torn from his body, and being damaged so much that not even his regeneration could keep up. His head had been ripped off his body and with this humanity had suffered its first major loss. After this all other forces began to gain support from all his other bugs and humanities forces had been rapidly depleting. With loss in sight humanity had lost hope and accepted defeat. Right when humanity had accepted defeat and all hope had been lost the king had shown himself once again. Like an Angel coming to bless all of humanity he had run through and obliterated all enemies of humanity. Destroying everything in sight and bringing all enemies to his feet he had saved humanity and restored hope and just like that he had disappeared into the void once again. There was no explanation as to how or why but in that moment all of humanity knew who we would be forever grateful and indebted to. Not many opponents had been left standing but the few who were, were extremely weakened and overwhelmed by numbers. After this decisive battle humanity had been in a state of joy and excitement out of their new victory. Once all the excitement and happiness from winning had worn off all the sorrow and remorse from the losses had come rushing in. All the lost family members, dead soldiers, limbs lost, and mental trauma had taken a toll on humanity. After we had gotten our planet back we did not spend our time rebuilding and trying to repopulate. We spent months mourning the loss of our loved ones and all our soldiers. We laid in depression and sorrow for our mutual loss and mental trauma. This brought humanity closer as a whole and we bonded over our suffering. Humanity had been one but at what cost. After years of processing humanity had finally been able to rebuild all of our structures, population, and even expand to different planets. After all these trials and tribulations we had finally evolved completely and after ages of loss we had finally entered a golden age of humanity. After all this we had begun to explore the deep parts of our planet and while exploring we discovered something far beyond our comprehension. Humanity had only been a small part of a vastly bigger world and a whole new world had now been exposed to us. We had breached through the ice caps of the north pole and had been greeted with hostility from a race on our planet we did not even know existed. After entering this “new world” humanity had found out the truth of our existence and creation. After finding out the truth of our creation and the prophecy of our faith we had all collectively regretted winning that war. Beyond our world laid horrors and truths we were not yet prepared for. After all this we had once again been thrown into a dark age with no will to fight. In the end this was the beginning of the end for humanity…

Thanks everyone for looking!

Hi, I am 25, Female. I have been on contrave for a month now. I did 1 medicine for the 1st week and 2 medicines (1 in morning, 1 at night) for past 3 weeks. This dose is what my doctor suggested. My weight is down only 5 pounds (from 232 to 227). It’s definitely working but I feel the progress is too slow. Any thoughts?

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS NUMEROLOGY DECODE

Since we all know exactly who and what Spongebob is, I am going to do a Numerology decode.
When it comes to Numerology, there are many different things you can look into. I am going to look into the letters, patterns, and Numerology personality numbers.
SPONGEBOB has a personality #6. 6 is the number of compassion, work ethic, criticism, cleanliness, and productivity. In the funny show, we see that Spongebob is a workaholic. He has a 5 destiny number which shapes who you are overall. 5 is connected to youthfulness which explains the silliness of the Spongebob character. He is always laughing and doing things funny. The 5 energy indicates this. 5 also points to people, places, and things that are unique. He has an 8 soul urge which explains his undying ambition and creativity.
We can see that SPONGEBOB has 2 O's which has the numeric energy of 15 and numeric value of 6. 15 is the creative use of energy for productivity. Again, 6 is the number of routine, work ethic and productivity goes with this. This energy is not only his personality number, but also it is within his name. It's really in him.
SPONGEBOB HAS DOUBLE NUMERIC VALUES IN HIS NAME WHICH ARE, 7,6,5, AND 2. This explains why he is able to show his emotions and have moments of sensitivity(2). Very compassionate(2) but also childish and silly(5) and able to come up with plans that work(7). Since these #s has double influence, we must considered what they equal. 7 twice equals 14/5 which shows how he is responsible and can make work fun even though it is a duty(6). 6 twice equals 12/3 which shows his social skills, life, and creativity. Another youthful energy as well. 5 twice equals 10/1 which points to his bravery and capability to take action. 2 twice equals 4 which is home,family,responsibility, and structure on the home front and he would make everyone feel comfortable for the most part.

21F
I have always thought that if I just did that big weight loss then I would be happy, it turns out that the body that I want requires around 15 more kg of weight loss and what then? I try my best not to fixate on the negatives of a situation, to enjoy the journey, because I've spent so much of these last few years trying to fix my relationship with food and with sports. I've gone to therapy, I've journaled, I've found people and things that I love.
I've gotten really into weight lifting, I care about what I put into my mouth, I don't eat like shit, and I move pretty regularly but still I don't like my body. Specifically, I don't like my stomach. I think I have a nice bum, I do 2-3 leg days a week and I'm pretty happy with my glute gains.
It used to not annoy me as much before I started dating this guy. We got intimate pretty fast, and he seemed to enjoy my body. He would always compliment it, and he would love to see me... you know. He was the first guy I'd ever been intimate with but since we broke it off I just can't seem to love my body in the same way I did.
There's a small part of my brain saying that it's because of my body that he broke it off. I gained around 5-7kg over the course of our relationship but I was bulking when we were dating. I'd done a cut over the Summer when we first met, but I wanted to see if I could improve with my resistance training. He was also doing the same so he understood to an extent and he never brought up my weight. There's just this part of my brain saying that if I'd never bulked that it would have worked (which i know is dumb, he knew I was into the gym when he met me and he knew that it was a part of it). I've lost that weight now due to post break-up weight loss.
I just can't get rid of my stomach, but I can't help but think. I see women all the time in my area, with stomach a little smaller than mine, walking around with their low rise jeans. Why couldn't I do that? And that voice of early 2000s muffin-topping just arises in the back of my head. "When" I have a flat stomach, I can wear that. Why not now? Why can't I show it off? If I keep going and trudging through my life with the "when I'm skinny, I can do this" and "when I'm at a certain level of fitness I can sign up for calisthenics training", I'll go into things wishing I did it sooner. It took me 1 year of cardio to finally make it into the weight section of the gym where I thought, "one day, when I'm fitter I'll get a bigger bum!" , and when I was in the weight section, all I could think of was "well maybe if I did Pilates and more cardio, I could finally wear those low rise jeans!"
It's just Sisyphus, no one could ever possibly be happy thinking like this! This is it! This is life! Chasing after something menial, temporary, and inconsequential. I've decided to enjoy it, to enjoy my exercise, to take my time. I can't hate my body into some version of it I find worthy. Me two years ago, 35kg heavier, was just as worthy as I am now. Of course health is key, and that version of me two years ago was borderline pre-diabetic. I'm just trying to find the healthiest version of myself through all the bullshit of fad diets, syns, gut health detoxes, gummies, "tiny waist leg day routines" and ozempic.
How do you sort out your brain amidst all of this misinformation and taking advantage of peoples' insecurities?

I’ve been on a smeglutide for about 2 and a half months now. Haven’t lost any weight, developed acid reflux and am constipated. I haven’t really changed my diet as I wasn’t told what I’m supposed to be eating. I am on 1 mg right now, I’ll take any and all advice please! Desperately trying to get things to start working.

UN 38.3 Standard Testing Items & Procedures

The UN 38.3 standard includes the following 8 detection items:

• T1 low pressure,
• T2 temperature cycle,
• T3 vibration,
• T4 shock,
• T5 external short circuit,
• T6 heavy object impact (lithium battery core),
• T7 overcharge (lithium battery or lithium battery )
• T8 forced discharge (lithium battery cells).

For lithium batteries or lithium battery packs, a total of 7 items of tests T1 → T5, T6, and T7 are required. However, for lithium battery cells, T1 → T5, T6 and T8 tests are required. Among them, T6, T7, and T8 tests need to use separate samples. And T1 → T5 test sequentially tests the same sample.

Comparison of UN 38.3 & International Standards

Compared with other international lithium battery standards, the temperature cycling conditions specified in the UN38.3 standard are more demanding and longer. Other international standard test items generally use separate samples for testing. However, the T1 → T5 test in the UN 38.3 standard tests the same sample in sequence. The previous test may have a negative impact on the next test, resulting in failure to pass the test. If the lithium battery submitted for inspection is tested for T1 → T5 in the UN 38.3 standard, there will be one item unqualified. Enterprises need to re-test UN3813 standard after process improvement, which will greatly extend the testing cycle.
It can be known from Table 1 that compared with the international standard IEC 62133, the high and low temperature exposure time of the temperature cycling item in the UN 38.3 standard is up to 6 hours, and the low temperature test temperature is -40 ± 2 ° C. The temperature cycle of the temperature cycle test is larger and the test cycle is longer. It is easier to cause the internal materials of the battery cell to decompose and generate gas. In the case of problems in the production process, when the gas generated during the temperature shock reaches a certain pressure, the gas is likely to leak from the weak point of the battery case or the internal seal, resulting in substandard phenomena such as gas leakage and liquid leakage.

Analysis of UN 38.3 Standard Test Results & Causes

First case

In the UN 38.3 standard, the lithium batteries tested in the temperature cycling project are fully charged (100% SOC). Therefore, when subjected to a long-term temperature shock, relatively serious side reactions may occur inside the battery, generating a large amount of gas. If there is a problem with the manufacturing process of the battery, when a certain amount of air pressure is accumulated, the gas and the electrolyte may leak from the gap in the case or the place where the solder is welded.
Problems in the manufacturing process may have the following conditions:

1. The welding of the battery case and the cap is not firm and not sealed;
2. There are missing welds, false welds and cracks, and welds have cracks, cracks, etc .;
3. When the steel ball is sealed, the size of the steel ball is improper, and the material of the steel ball is different from that of the cap;
4. The positive pole of the cap is not tightly riveted, and there is a gap;
5. The elasticity of the insulating gasket is not suitable, it is not resistant to corrosion, and it is easy to age.

Problems such as mass loss, leakage, and exhaust during the UN 38.3 standard temperature cycle are mainly related to the manufacturing process. Anatomy of the leaked battery revealed that the battery was subjected to uneven force during assembly, which caused the internal insulation plate of the battery to deform, causing the battery to leak at the insulation plate.

Second Case

In addition, the test also found that some lithium batteries have no mass loss, no leakage, no exhaust, no disintegration, no cracking and no combustion after the temperature cycle test. However, due to the chemical reaction between the positive and negative electrode active materials and the electrolyte inside the battery during the temperature shock, a certain amount of gas was generated, which caused a bulging phenomenon during the test.
However, the swollen lithium battery is more difficult to pass the vibration test during the next high acceleration and long time vibration test. The battery is likely to produce gas leaks and leaks, resulting in excessive quality loss and ultimately failing the vibration test. This requires lithium battery manufacturers in the research and development stage, in addition to continuous improvement of electrical performance, but also must fully consider the adverse impact of temperature shock on lithium battery materials.
Starting with lithium battery materials, the stability of each chemical material at the test temperature specified in the temperature cycle of 75 ℃,-40 ℃, and the transition points between 75 ℃ and-40 ℃ was investigated. Find out which materials are liable to generate gas at the test temperature. Through a large number of experiments to improve the process of these materials, or to find other alternative materials, to seek a better balance between the electrical performance and safety performance of lithium batteries.

Third Case

In another case, the lithium cell that swelled during the temperature cycle passed the subsequent vibration and shock tests. However, the large amount of gas generated internally during the temperature cycle adversely affects the welding parts around the shell. The pressure shock of the gas directly causes the welding strength to weaken in some areas. In the external short-circuit test after the impact test, the lithium single-cell battery rapidly heated up, and a large amount of gas continued to be generated inside the case. When the internal pressure of the shell rises to a certain value, the gas is released from the area where the welding strength becomes weak, causing the shell to rupture. As a result, the external short-circuit test cannot be passed.
The following test chambers are used in the standard UN 38.3:

• Servo Computer Battery Crush Tester
• Vibration Test System
• Shock Test System
• Battery Crush Nail Penetration Tester
• Altitude Simulation Test Chamber
• Heavy Impact Tester
• Temperature Control Battery Short Circuit Test Chamber
• Battery Crush Test Chamber
• Temperature Cycling Test Chamber

This is just my personal opinion, but I have found far more success getting a carrier to run a lane year round at a set rate, or set rates for a certain season. When the market is in the brokers favor, the carrier is getting taken care of. And when it flips and carriers are ripping us to shreds with rates we’re sitting pretty. Plus this establishes trust between the broker and carrier, the lanes become well known to the carrier and it just goes smoother. For example, say a reefer lane from Santa Barbara, CA to Richland, WA. 1/1, say we have 3200 in the load, get like 8 of them a week. At a certain point of the year for probably 6 months, at least this year these were running at $1800-$1900. Now this lane is $3200-$3500. So instead of hosing each other during the market runs why not just find a happy medium with a carrier you trust, instead of going through the stresses every day of finding Vlad to run it at a loss during produce season?

My Sex drive has been diminished since going through IVF and then having a baby about 1.5 years ago and I blamed my weight gain (plus hormonal changes) on that. But since starting zepbound whatever little sex drive I had left is completely gone. Having sex right now just sounds like work to me and my husband is understandably feeling rejected. I started zepbound in February and I’m currently back down to 2.5 due to shortage but hoping to get up to 5mg eventually since my weight loss has stalled. Anyone here feeling the same way? Did it get better?

I struggled with weight my whole childhood, mainly due to parents who instilled absolutely zero discipline and self control in me. I'm not sure how much blame is on me, since I was a kid, but I was allowed to eat seconds and thirds of every meal. Sodas and sweet tea galore. And I'm from Louisiana so the food was incredible but extremely unhealthy. Due to this, I was over 230 pounds by the time I was 18. I'm 5'11" (and at the time was closer to 5'9.5") so this is firmly in the obese category. One week I got sick with the flu and ate an extremely low amount of calories due to the sickness, I lost 12lbs in a week, a lot of which was surely water weight of course, but it was the kick in the ass to make me feel like I could do it. If I could eat nothing while sick, I could eat a normal but lower than what I was used to amount while healthy. I also just wanted to be happy with myself and how I looked, which I certainly wasn't. So over the course of the next .5-1 year I lost a lot of weight down to 170 at my lowest. I maintained for a while, went back up to 195ish for a while and maintained there, then eventually fell back into old habits a couple of years later, gaining an extra 75+ pounds to now 272 being my highest recorded weight ever. I didn't weight myself for almost 3 years and had no idea how much more I had gained. I knew I for sure had gained up to at least that 230 number once again, but I didn't realize how much over it I went.
It seemed like an absurdly long road to me, I had lost the weight once before and knew I had the discipline within me to do it, I just had to find it again. But it was so demotivating to me to know that I had to lose over 30 pounds just to even get to the 230s again, like my highest the first time around, let alone the extra 60 pounds. I pushed through that demotivating factor though and started CICO again. The one good part was I got to lose at the same pace as before but with a higher calorie count due to the extra 40 pounds, haha. It made it even easier to CICO than the last time. For me it was mostly just cutting out soda and snack calories, as I've only ever eaten two meals a day and only mildly high portions with those two meals, so i didn't have to change much there. As of today, I weighed in at 238.8, where my previous low was 240.0, so I finally got to see that number tick into the 230s once again. I'm 111 days into the CICO journey this time around according to MFP, so I'm losing at almost exactly 2 pounds a week, which is great and feels sustainable. Next stop is getting that first number to start with a "1" again. :)

Hello,
Our baby is just over 2 months old and EBF. Around the 1 month mark she was diagnosed with silent reflux and uses a small dose of Pepcid currently. Around the 1 month time she also has mucus / green poops for a while. These then changed to yellow/orange and improved in consistency.
Today she had a big green mucus diaper with some blood in it. Her 2 diapers afterward have been green with mucus, some seeds etc but no blood. She is overall very happy baby, hardly ever cries. She does grunt sometimes, has had congestion off and on, seems to strain for pooping and farting but never cries out in pain. Good weight gain. Spits up a moderate amount (has good and bad days) that I would attribute to the reflux.
Communicated this with her pediatrician today who recommended eliminating dairy and soy from my diet at this point due to the bloody diaper. Unfortunately for me, I eat a lot of dairy and soy and worry if this will impact my supply as well as my sanity. I have a bit of an oversupply (have worked on this with LC) and very much want to keep feeding my baby. I feel sick to my stomach that my breastmilk freezer stash won’t be usable now??
Anyway, my question is for those with MSPI diagnoses - does this sound like your baby? Is it jumping the gun to do elimination diet with one bloody diaper? On the flip side I don’t want to cause my baby discomfort and understand the elimination diet is a small price to pay.
How soon can I reintroduce dairy and soy into my diet?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Due to work and life, I haven't played in about 2 weeks. Hop on tonight, join a quick play lvl 6, get halfway through the mission, network error and disconnect.
Trying to do the daily and get 5 rare samples, try again. Join a defense mission. It's cool, we get 6/8 rockets launched, we're crushing it. Someone dies, respawn glitch. Get overran, only 1 person can respawn, we obviously lose.
Stay with the same group, spread democracy, raise 2 flags, ready to extract, I get kicked from the match. I'm level 49 and was 20 (+/- 5) levels higher than anyone and was definitely pulling my weight. I just don't understand.
Anyway, like the title says, first time straight up not having a good time. I'll probably delete this post later but flippin heck dudes.

I've always lacked discipline. In school I was an unorganized under-performer. In my 20's my life appears more put together, but my lack of self control has led to multiple addiction problems. Nothing imminently life-threatening, but slow killers that are not without their immediate side effects.

1. Nicotine - cigarettes and nicotine pouches. Off and on, but mostly on and mostly cigarettes. Anywhere from 5 cigarettes a day to almost a full pack when I am smoking. With Zyns I will have a couple a day.
2. Sugar - I go out of my way to buy sometime sweet everyday.
3. Caffeine - specifically energy drinks. I drink 2-5 everyday
4. Pornography - Everday, 2-4 times.
5. Fast food - I eat out everyday, often more than once.
6. Social Media scrolling - hours everyday. probably like 4+ hours all in.
7. Alcohol - Not necessarily an addiction, but I drink a couple times a week just for fun, even alone.

If you can believe it, I am not some 400 lb basement dweller, but nonetheless my lifestyle is completely out of my control. Fortunately I live alone because I could not handle the embarrassment of people being aware of my daily habits.
Notable side effects: 1. Memory loss and short attention span. Sometimes I open a browser tab to look something up and forget to hit "search" and just move to the next app or page that comes to mind. I come back later and see the search bar and think "oh yeah I forgot about that" Mostly from social media km sure. Often times I can't keep up with conversations because I zone out. I will forget things brought up even minutes before. 2. Erectile dysfunction. Sometimes I can't get fully erect for sex. I have a new girlfriend and this was an absolute, gut-wrenching killer the first time we got intimate. 3. Intense cravings. I can hardly go a day without using the aforementioned vices. 4. Complete lack of discipline or grit. For 15 years I have geared myself up to be a quitter. I can barely stand any degree of difficulty in my life and get easily frustrated when I have to go out of my way or exert considerable mental effort. 5. Most importantly, I haven't accomplished any of goals I set for myself as a younger man. I am "behind in life" by my own standards. I don't have much to show for the last 5 years.
Not sure if anyone else has this experience, but I remember as a kid overhearing adults talking about someone they knew who "was a smoker for decades, then one day just decided to quit, cold turkey!"
I always thought that was so badass. Flipping the script on an addiction that's old enough to vote. Having the sheer willpower to take back control of your life on a dime.
However, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that the best way to build new habits and break bad ones is atomically; Making incremental, consistent changes over a long enough period of time. This method is more sustainable and realistic than breaking habits/addictions outright.
Well, fuck that. No tapering down, no baby steps, no training wheels.
I want to solve my addiction problems, I really do, but I have this fantasy of just turning everything on its head and taking back control of my life's steering wheel. Maybe it isn't sustainable, maybe i'm setting myself up for failure, but damnit i'd like to have my cake and eat it too. I'd like to see what my limits are, if I have the fortitude to fend off multiple addictions at once.
I'll document that process here.

Hello, I'm doing an analysis for boxing matches.
The fights are listed by boxer so the same fight is listed twice with the variable values switched depending on what boxer you are looking at.
The variables that are problematic are:
Weight and Opponent's Weight. 1.Boxer1 weight Boxer2 weight. 2.Boxer2 weight Boxer1 weight.
What is the best way to handle the same fight under two boxers?
