@noob404 are you going to LET me come closer to your numbers than the 300 difference you've maintained for the past couple of days? already? time to sleep so i could put in a few dozen comments without you matching those and then some.. i used to be 30 close not it's 300.. can't and don't want to think what'll be a week from now.. 😱😱😱😓

I am pretty sure you will overtake me very soon.

yes i will.. but right now i am sooo hungry.. every morning i hunger waiting for noonish time to finally eat.. intermittent fasting. allows me to eat all i want, well, you know, healthy food but volume is unlimited, i like to eat food. but then i can also drink hard liqueur in the eating period without big consequences of empty calories.. i don't often do it, but sometimes i do enjoy a stiff one..

I tried intermittent fasting last year. Failed, I am too much of a foodie.

that's the point.. during several hours a day you can be straight up gobbling up anything in sight... i am serious, sometimes my dinner adds 2-3kg to my weight.. lots of water before, no water during meal. but for 1st meal i only do like 6 eggs sunny side up and a bunch of various fruit and sometimes nuts like Pistachios or similar..

I don't think that's doing you any good. Fasting for a whole day and then eating everything in vicinity the next, you are going to end up confusing your body and digestive system.

i've been sporting same body mass for the past 2 years.. and i eat like a pig sometimes, not dirty or disgusting, just a lot.. it is healthy food though, so you know.. doing double good. eating lots of vegetables and as much as i want. i used to we roughly 1/3rd heavier than i am now. and that was back when i'd skip meals cause in the coding spree or something, and then eat once a day, like a super-strong intermitter, but instead i was just getting bigger and bigger,. anyway IF changed my life, i can eat all i want and i remain at the normal mass level for my height.. just 5 years ago i'd hate summers cause all t-shirts would look funny on me..

If you say so, I could try this as well then. So, you don't eat anything a day and the next day, you go all out?

noooo.. i only eat 11:30am till 6:30pm. that's what it's all about. you make up a period of time for yourself and only eat during that time. the shorter it is - the better, but i don't force myself that way.. 7hrs to eat is best IMHO, cause by the 2nd and last meal the 1st has descended into the guts and stomach is empty and ready for the evening meal. people do 6hrs or even 4hrs, i cannot, i do not wanna eat so soon, but 7 is the sweet spot for me.. the main part is not to eat when you wake for a few hours, cause it's then your body starts digging into fats for sustenance.. best way to lose fat. that and HIIT. and technically you eat all you want, any foods you want. well, within reason, of course

Oh ok. But, how many meals do you have in a day? Is there a specific frequency or gap that must be followed?

it is up to you completely. that is the beauty of it. i am just used to 2 meals. i even freaking get sad sometimes after 1st meal, cause it ended, and i didn't even eat that much... and sometimes i day dream about eating food.. it is hard, in a way.. esp morning hours.. my stomach sometimes does that noise so loud, it scares a cat off my lap..

I will try Racknerd

And you will not regret it.

and we will not forget it.

We will make sure of that

so bury down your head

And forget your bed.

let me just stop you right there....

Thank youm but weren't you the one who wanted to skip sleep altogether?

i wanted you to skip sleep. me - i am not doing it.. unless i need to be up on last day of the engagement contest, then i may be do some sleepskipping.. otherwise i am in bed at 11pm, no questions, no votes, nothing will change that.

That's actually healthy. if you do religiously follow that, it's a very good thing indeed.

i also enjoy when my watch compliment me on my sleep. recently been getting 80+ scores, and on 85+ which is rare it tells me good job!

I really need to get a smart watch esp. to monitor my REM sleep. I really need to understand what's making me feel tired even after waking up.

actually to feel more rested you need DEEP sleep. with age people have less and less deep sleep. on a good night's sleep i manage like 40 minutes of deep sleep according to my watch, and roughly 1.5hrs of REM when all dreams happen.

Yoo 1k comments, nice!

You are almost halfway there as well.

Yeah nice! Been busy in the past few days. I saw @PuDLeZ took my spot, sadly

hehe, well you knocked me back down Don't worry, if you try, you will easily beat me. I always start strong but then slow down after the whole BF/CM.

Why not change it this time? Go all in till the end?

I kind of tried last year but then I got knock out of placing and then I got distracted. This year, I also got a new toy (the 3d) so I'm scared something similar will happen

you can still be in the running, why not? so far you've been doing a great job and i need support to bounce my posts off of, while noob is asleep. if he ever goes to sleep..

Man, I have 26.2K comments in total on LET and am pretty sure 99+% of it is on RackNerd threads!

you didn't hit the megathread last time? or is it called "megathread" because of the sheer number of views and viewers it attracts?

I did post a few there after emgh posted on the RackNerd thread. Pretty great guys on the megathread as well. I believe trk and xpress did participate in the megathread as well and got some good deals too

i mean, you gots to partake there to get deals? not enough just to read and snag something? cause i mean i am not spreading my eggs into other baskets, TBH.. dead centered on the gaming rig, or at least the handheld.. BTW another reason not to buy into those borderline illegal amazon sold ones just yet..

No, on the megathread there were flash sales, no participation or comment number giveaways.

ok then, that i can keep on the refresh, getting my new screen tomorrow, so i will be ready. not even gonna try gaming on it up until after all this is over.. no distractions.

just 2 but yes, that's me. you CAN have frequent meals, it's all up to you what you do in the time you designate as eating time. if you like a dozen small meals - go for it.. i like to eat a lot.. before this i was doing like 4-5 small meals a day, but 2 unlimited meals a day is just my jammmmm..

noob404 · November 2025

Me too. I never make any impulse purchases. Here is how I purchase anything: Research > Decide on product > Price history > Wait for sale > Collect coupons > Make sure it's close to the cheapest > If yes, buy; else, skip no matter how much I love the product

i got AlienWare 27" QHD 180Hz .. My sister already ordered an MSI from my wishlist for me for gift exchange, i texted her saying i gotta buy me new one NOW, so she revealed, otherwise i'd probably get 2, it's time to replace the 1080p as well.. but now will wait till we do the gift exchange for NY to get the MSI one from her..

ok then, that i can keep on the refresh, getting my new screen tomorrow, so i will be ready. not even gonna try gaming on it up until after all this is over.. no distractions.

Which monitor did you end up ordering?

i got AlienWare 27" QHD 180Hz .. My sister already ordered an MSI from my wishlist for me for gift exchange, i texted her saying i gotta buy me new one NOW, so she revealed, otherwise i'd probably get 2, it's time to replace the 1080p as well.. but now will wait till we do the gift exchange for NY to get the MSI one from her..

plus i am also getting that LEB+RN raffle top prize monitor, so will be all wrapped up here in great displays..

@bchot Glad you joined. That 998 comments was an itch I couldn't scratch. Congrats on 1k comments.

Yoo 1k comments, nice!

You are almost halfway there as well.

Yeah nice! Been busy in the past few days. I saw @PuDLeZ took my spot, sadly

hehe, well you knocked me back down Don't worry, if you try, you will easily beat me. I always start strong but then slow down after the whole BF/CM.

Why not change it this time? Go all in till the end?

I kind of tried last year but then I got knock out of placing and then I got distracted. This year, I also got a new toy (the 3d) so I'm scared something similar will happen

you can still be in the running, why not? so far you've been doing a great job and i need support to bounce my posts off of, while noob is asleep. if he ever goes to sleep..

again, just going off the previous years and combined with my new toy, I can only assume what will end up happening

You can still be in the top 5.

Man, I have 26.2K comments in total on LET and am pretty sure 99+% of it is on RackNerd threads!

you didn't hit the megathread last time? or is it called "megathread" because of the sheer number of views and viewers it attracts?

I did post a few there after emgh posted on the RackNerd thread. Pretty great guys on the megathread as well. I believe trk and xpress did participate in the megathread as well and got some good deals too

i mean, you gots to partake there to get deals? not enough just to read and snag something? cause i mean i am not spreading my eggs into other baskets, TBH.. dead centered on the gaming rig, or at least the handheld..

Is that your idea of a cheap monitor?

got this one from my wishlist on sale https://store.steampowered.com/app/784150/Workers__Resources_Soviet_Republic?snr=1_25_4__318 but now even buying it now.. looks soo freaking good, and so much in depth, that i will not come back for weeks when i try it.. gonna wait for next sale.. i only buy games on sale. no rush.. waaaaait for cheaper days.. i am not only froogle in my VPS purchases, but as much as i can everywhere in life. i just don't like to spend a lot on anything..

How much did you get it for?

sorry wrong wording i guess. didn't get it, but it went on sale for $20 (vs $40).. not getting it yet as i cannot afford distractions..

Oh I see. Good plan. Stay focused on the prize.

Me as well. Sad that the thread might be silent for that short time and then you are gonna go into hypermode probably dadev or pudlez will join you. So, you will probably beat me by the time I wake up tomorrow.

@bchot wants me gone!
And I get him.

and i LET him.. well, it's about time i LEFT you... when facing zero responses, I am sure you'll just go on your own.. tried reverse psychology - to get you to stay, tried outright directly mentioning the sleep, nothing gets thru to you..

so the only way is for me to leave first..

Howdy, Stranger!
