Random Rants LXIV: Who's Acting Like a Child Now?

[Commodore]

TIL that my passenger-side airbag is actually totes deadly!

fortunately I learned this via first-class mail and not, y'know, via somebody dying in my car

2006 Nissan Sentra?

I'll gladly trade you my ~40 degree C weather for whatever the Australian definition of "cold" is

Air temperature of 3.7C, which according to the BoM felt like 0.4C, wearing just a T-shirt and jeans.

 

[Takhisis]

I know that you are Australian, but I suggest that you evaluate the possibility of wearing socks, even when not playing rugby.

 

[azzaman333]

Well, I was wearing shoes and socks as I was walking home at the time.

3,7 C is way better than 40 C

 

[azzaman333]

Still cold but.

 

[Phrossack]

Ah. There's your problem. At that temperature I'd be wearing long sleeves, jeans, and a jacket.

 

[azzaman333]

Yeah but that makes going out way more cumbersome.

 

[Phrossack]

Yeah but that makes going out way more cumbersome.

It takes hardly any more time to put on those clothes, and a light jacket doesn't weigh anything.

But then, I enjoy cold weather.

Oh. I ask because 2006 Sentras had a recall notice a few months back about the passenger airbag needing to be fixed because there was a part in it that wasn't made to standard and would pretty much blow out like shrapnel and possibly kill someone if the airbag deployed.

Bars and nightclubs typically are quite warm without a jacket so unless you're willing to pay to use the cloak rooms it's not worth it.

Yeah, it's the Takata airbag recall. Same manufacturer. They're finally filtering through all the affected VINs and sending out individual notices.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

There's no right or wrong answer, or at least I don't think there is. I've never seen anyone demoted for not giving a correct answer...

Anyway, I got promoted out of the Flaptains rank years ago.

Half year ago: 88kg, 25% body fat.
Now: 84kg, 25% body fat.
fuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Snerk]

Body fat % is a sly mistress. I seem to be completely unable to make gains without also bumping my fat % too. Now I'm at around 13-14% so it's not a huge deal, yet still annoying though.

If you're 4 kg lighter, that's a good thing, right? People have a natural body weight, it seems, and if you're close to it, you're unlikely to see large shifts. My GP told me that my seeming inability to put on weight shows that I'm at a healthy equilibrium (or at least as healthy as one can be when you're perpetually underweight).

In this case you should have a sixpack and should be happy about it ^^.

I'm still 10kg away from a (according to the BMI) healthy weight, so I don't think that's the case here.
And a good body fat percentage for a man is also around 15%, not 25%.
Basically what I did for a half year is burning energy, but mostly not fat, but muscles.
I could have lost muscles also with sitting on the couch .
Guess need to do what the trainer in the gym said: Focus more on the muscle training.
Which I'd like to do, but with the gym not being open on the weekends, the most optimal program is muscles on Mon/Wed/Fr, and running on the other days, so no idea how to do that :/.

My GP told me that my seeming inability to put on weight shows that I'm at a healthy equilibrium (or at least as healthy as one can be when you're perpetually underweight).

My initial reaction to this is that I'd not be sure about it and that there are a half ton of factors which could influence it. But on the other hand...not a medical expert here :/.
