March 23, 20215 yr Aren't most body fat measurement methods unreliable? The skin resistance ones are thrown off by surface moisture and the caliper ones are prone to error too I thought. Only legit way might be volumetric displacement via a dunk tank.

I’ve had a bod pod done before, used air displacement. https://amlifestylemedicine.com/en/bod-pod-body-fat-testing/ I think the calipers are fine if you aren’t a pro athlete or whatever. Kind of a "close enough” situation as long as the person doing it is competent.

Obviously I need to get Pfizer for my 2nd since that's what I got for my first. But I went to a drive up, no appointment clinic for my first and I know there is a drive up no appointment mass clinic in Greensboro on my way this Thursday and it would be awesome if I just jump off the interstate and get it done then. It shouldn't matter if both clinics were no appointment clinics. Right? Yes, it matters. Every single distribution center in the world gets a very different vaccine and they are only compatible if you go to the same place. If you go to a different location your P will shrink from its already microscopic size. Plus the RFID tracking chips won’t work. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

It shouldn't matter if both clinics were no appointment clinics. Right? As long as you're getting the same type (Pfizer) and you're 3 weeks past the first shot (again for Pfizer) then location shouldn't matter. Just make sure you bring your card with you so they can confirm your first dose and write in the data on your second one. Unless the clinic has a specific rule against it. Might need to call to confirm it's cool. Sorry I haven't had much experience with the drive-up no appointment sites. Medically it's fine, logistically pop up med sites have goofy rules sometimes.

Said this exact same thing to my friend yesterday when he told me about the krispy kreme situation.... The reason he was standing there telling me this was because he was helping carry my 450 haul of costco goods into my apartment lol.

Now take all the older people in the country and lock them inside with nothing to do but eat. Basically, anyone with self discipline probably kept the weight off, some people like our dear Vikas found themselves with some extra time and picked up an exercise hobby, everyone else just magnified their sloth. right, that's what I'm saying. there's a baseline of weight gain for certain demographics that isn't being accounted for here. you could probably take any typical year and find a fairly significant number of people who say they put on undesired weight, and that the average amount of weight gain within that group could be like 20 lbs. especially focusing on demographics like millennials who are in prime "getting fat" years under normal (non-covid) situations. pile a pandemic on top and I'd not be surprised to see the number go up more. but not 0 -> 29 lbs. maybe 20 -> 29 lbs. 4 hours ago, vikas83 said: You leave my uncle out of this. he used to dunk on you, didn't he.
March 24, 20215 yr Got my shot yesterday (pfizer). Had an appointment but it was still a 2 hour wait. Arm soreness and very tired but otherwise fine.
March 24, 20215 yr Unsurprisingly, Republicans proved more knowledgeable about coronavirus whereas dems were more likely to overestimate its effect: An astounding 41% of dems think that half the people that get coronavirus have to be hospitalized lol

March 24, 20215 yr All arm soreness gone from daughter, wife and I by the third day. Pfizer first shot.
