  Keep in mind that the more muscle you build, the more energy it takes to move that muscle therefore the more calories you’ll burn during your activities through the day. It’s not necessarily about the calories you burn during the workout but the aggregate impact downstream.

  I could be wrong though I don’t go to the gym lol.

  I upgraded my note 10+ to an s22 ultra thinking it would retain all the same shit but noooooo fucking Samsung decided to dropt he card slot and keep the internal storage the same. Fucking assholes. I just want the same fucking experience I had. I don’t want your ai bullshit. I don’t want 7 fucking cameras I just want my old phone with a pen that worked fine.

  Only upgraded because the wireless charging stopped working, the screen got phantom touches in one specific spot (both known issues with note 10+) and the charge port wouldn’t work unless you had the cable in JUST right.

  Anyway fuck you Samsung and someone else make a decent sized phone with a working stylus please.

  I think it was google that fucked it up. The newest (as of a long time back) version of Android broke it and I had to install a separate app to get ACR working again. And it never recorded their end properly unless I was on speaker or their side was somehow audible through my mic. So stupid.

  Nah Terraria Elseworld (otherworld?) fell through. It was going to be a spin-off/sequel before they cancelled it and later announced Terraria 2. T2 is still in development I believe (and pray).

  Nah the Salarians neutered the Krogans. They uplifted the Krogan to beat back the Rachni only to turn on them afterwards. Whether or not the Krogan were expansive or betrayed is a “history written by the victor” scenario but what the Salarians did was straight genocide. The Batarians are assholes (especially that one piece of shit bartender in Afterlife) but they’re not responsible for what happened to the Krogan.

  This is probably how I’ll die tbh

  To quote Wikipedia:

  Asbestos is an excellent thermal and electrical insulator, and is highly fire resistant, so for much of the 20th century, it was very commonly used around the world as a building material.

  It was later discovered to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and also because of its fibrous structure; it breaks into lots of tiny little microscopic needles when agitated. Those little shards get inhaled and poke tiny holes in your lungs which causes Asbestosis (kind of like Emphysema for smokers).
