  • My tip is rice for calories, veggies for nutrition, dry beans/chicken for protein. Frozen veggies can get very cheap.

    Potatoes are also super good and allow for a lot of variety. To make something tasty like mashed it does require butter and milk.

    Side tip for rice, rice cookers are pretty cheap and save you plenty of time. You just toss in rice, water and salt in the correct quantities and good rice comes out. You can also make whole meals with it by putting some oil and frozen veggies.

    For taste spices are key and big quantities of spice don’t cost much per dish. It takes some experimenting but once you get a hang of it it becomes very nice and easy. Garlic/onion powder, cayenna pepper, salt and pepper improve almost every dish.

    One caveat is that seed oils are just not healthy so if the budget allows for olive oil, butter or coconut it’s better.









  • You just have to add two numbers. With the big number hand you can count hundreds by using the closest segments first, then medium then distant and so on. Hardest additions will make you carry the one once for a case like 19+175 which is easy enough. Also, going from 37 to 38 in binary with fingers you have to close 4 fingers and open one while counting segments you at most move your thumb to the next segments on both hands.

    Binary still works fine and is better depending on the specific case but in my opinion counting segments is usually more convenient and base 10 friendly.



  • For anyone considering running a marathon then they should know it’s easy to train for it. Elite runners train with 80% of their weekly distance as easy and going 100% on that is totally ok.

    So going out there, running at a comfortable/enjoyable pace is all you need as long as you’re consistent. It’s literally that easy. Increase weekly distance by 10% a week and do a long session ideally once per week. Long distances should also follow a 10% per week max increase to avoid injury.

    So basically, you end up chilling, listening to podcasts and plodding along for a year and you end up being ready for a marathon.

    One quick side note: If something feels weird in any of your tendons, just chill and take some days off and do quick warm ups before running.
