    So.....

    Any doctor or scientist could maybe help me with this?

    My son is 17.5 years old and has gotten into weight training. 

    So,  I got him some good protien supplement and a creatine supplement. 

    My son's doctor told my wife he shouldn't be taking creatine because it crystallizes in the liver and is generally not safe. 

    Sure,  OK, it's not a big deal... other than the fact that I cannot find one study,  peer reviewed or even some junk science study that makes this claim, and,  in fact,  have found several that say it is actually helpful to the liver when eating a higher fat diet (in mice,  that is...)

    What gives? Does this doctor know something that isn't published?

    Creatine is fine. 
     

    Your doctor sounds like a wuss.

     

    Let the boy have his gainz.

  2. Had a football related realization today. My oldest starts high school this year and is involved with Friday night lights via being the mascot. Going to be tough for quite a while to make it up to Dallas for the OU game. And I've been to 24 out of the last 25. Probably going to miss the next 10 years or so as the kids cycle through. Gonna miss it!

    What do I want for her?  Find a job, ANY job, that even remotely advances her career goals.  Preferably outside of Texas

    What's her desired field? I'm sure there's a starting point in Texas even if she wants to leave. It's just that it can be tough even for an adjusted, motivated person to get fresh job in new field across the country. You have to get off zero and start somewhere.

    Watching Liucci edit prior season records and game outcomes and then speak about the changes as some kind of reality for himself and his patrons is like watching a master chef or artist at the height of their capabilities. It's just beautiful, man. And surreal. 

    Liucci is already out there announcing that the aggies really aren't banged up and then talking up a 3rd string WR transfer from D2. Neither of those are good signs for them. 

     

    I just watched the Manziel Netflix special and man Looch has been hard on his body.

    I think he gets the “fat people with food stamps” thing wrong as a “position” (as much as he takes one there) but it’s also weird from a… songwriting/cohesiveness of thought and message perspective to have a “cut welfare” verse in your populist/anti rich men from dc song. It’s, they’re taxing his dollar all to hell and giving it to the broke fatty down the road and now it’s about poor people buying the wrong groceries.

    I don’t think it’s confusing. He’s definitely saying, I bust my ass, pay my taxes, and some fat, lazy fuckers take advantage. I guess that’s his perspective/experience.

    If you are worried about a teenager accessing porn, spend the $200 fucking dollars to install montioring software yourself you fucking fuck

     

    It doesn’t take $200 dollars. We monitor traffic.
     

    But it’s nice to see that there’s some hoops to jump through for underage kids to watch porn. There’s zero positives to unfettered access to pornography for teens. Unless you can name one?

    So limit their access, what is stopping you? 

    Do you also want to limit their access from running in the freeway? Should we ban cars too for your children's sake? 

    None of these comparisons are relevant or valid.

    When I see the name "Boss Hogg", first thing I think is "needs government to assist in raising kids". 

    Should everything be legal and accessible to kids 24/7? What about tobacco? Is the government “assisting” me in raising them by outlawing tobacco?

    But last weekend she was talking about how at Orange Theory her heart rate was higher than everyone in the room when working out.

    It sounds like she just needs to get in better shape. If the other people working out have a better exercise capacity, then they can do the same workout with a lower heart rate. 
     

    The number itself is not very concerning.

    The resting is what bugs me.  Thanks for the link. I am not worried, because I always say you have plenty of time to worry. But concerened enought to want to rule out stuff that I could worry about!  Just want to have her tell her doctor to probe a little deeper.  If there is something wrong better to know about it.

    As you get older, your cardiovascular system loses sympathetic tone. That, and beta blockers, are why older people have lower resting heart rates. Hell just about anyone over 75-80 is sitting in the 40s-50s for resting heart rate and it isn’t because they’re marathon runners. 
     

    She should definitely mention it to a doctor if y’all are concerned. But for a reference the only resting heart rate that really demands a closer look, especially at her age, is below 40 or above about 120. Or if you’re symptomatic at rest. Lightheaded, chest pain, headache etc.

  8. There’s plenty of companies out there that do syndicated real estate investments in things like large multi family projects. Your return is obviously much less than the principals, but I had a small amount in one that did flip. With the rental income over the course of project it was like 2.2x in 4 years. It does feel like a bit of a scammy space though in general. A lot of marketing to gullible people willing to part with some dough. Principals get fat off your contribution of capital. 
     

    Oh and when I first started making money I put small amount in a local food startup that is basically a zombie co. 
     

    A lot of these things are just who you know. And you might just be hearing about the less desirable options. Then your capital is locked up. 
     

    Probably the most liquid, uncorrelated alternative asset class is crypto, but buyer beware big time.
