Comment on Nutrition experiment results by rolfkyburz

Hi Rob, interesting post, indeed! I would not say that this is of direct use to me, but I still have a question: for all I know, there are substantial differences in bioavailability in the area of proteins. In that sense, juxtaposing Harzer Cheese and Broccoli without factoring in bioavailability is not quite correct. I haven’t eaten meat in several years. I’m vegetarian, moving towards vegan, and I use protein supplements to make sure I consume *at least* 1g protein / kg body weight. My background is scientific, yet I don’t do all the calculus. However, I suspect I’m overdosing proteins by 50% or so… I also try keeping carbs at a minimum. 32 years ago I was 105 kg, 20 ears ago I was at 95. Within a year, I dropped that to 75, and since late 2015, my weight stabilized around 70 – 73kg — not the least thanks to daily exercising or garden work. I’m 72 now… Best, -Rolf

800 calories per day?! How are you able to function? I would be distractedly hangry.

Comment on I’m not creative by Chuck Grimmett

All throughout grade school I thought I wasn’t creative either because I was terrible at drawing and painting. Things didn’t start clicking for me until I picked up a camera at 15, and that unlocked my creative side!

That is such good advice. Very relevant for me being in the midst of moving as well. I wonder how this same metaphor could apply for knowledge work.

Comment on Sunday afternoon in the forest by robfelty

In reply to rolfkyburz.

Ha! Indeed. These wind turbines are not milling flour :) – I have too many EF-S lenses to go full frame. I am going to ride out the wave of Canon APS-C DSLRs I can find used until I am really forced to switch to something else.

Well, windmills is a bit of a misnomer: wind turbines would be more accurate. Windmills is what they have in Holland (though very few of these were ever real mills: for the bulk of them, “windpumps” would be the proper name). Nice blog! I should some day revive my photo blog. Mine has been resting for two—soon three—generations of photo equipment (essentially since I went full frame…). :-)

Comment on It doesn’t matter to me … by Daniel Reeves

Woo-hoo! This makes me very happy. I have a million quibbly things to say about the mechanics of auction-based decision-making but I think they are beside the point because I’ve come to agree that it doesn’t work unless you put in a totally unreasonable amount of effort (which of course Bethany and I do for fun, so we don’t count) on replacing a whole set of norms with a different set of norms.

I just wanted to say…

… that I enjoyed this short post immensely. We’d all do well to adopt the THINK principle.
