Thanks. I've decided to just stick with a high quality avocado oil.
I had to google that.
I'm so inefficient right now that there is no jog slow enough for me to stay under a 180 - age target. It would be like 5 seconds of jog and then power walking.
I expect my floor to improve considerably regardless of strategy. And I have tried a slow and steady approach once before (was shocked to learn I could almost run for indefinitely long periods of time by just going impossibly slowly).
Will keep this in mind when my efficiency picks up a bit.
The sad thing is, even this short, easy run will take me probably a week to recover from before my legs are ready for the next one.
Baby steps.
Easing my way back into some light runs. Couldn't remember my prior heart rate zone / interval training sequences so just did 1-min "Hardcore" intervals with (very slow) 2-min "Endurance" cycles.
21min, 1.9 miles.
I'm a huge fan of this style of running. For most of my 20s and 30s I'd just slog through and struggle the whole way and often feel like a failure. Using intervals to space out the harder parts is just a happier existence.
I realize diff types of runs, diff interval strategies, diff intensity peaks all work toward diff goals. Right now I just want to shake off years of rust with an easy program. Perfecting and optimizing the strategy can come later (tho would love to hear y'all's thoughts).
ps - yes this is interval training but no, obv it isn't HIIT. Not ready for that kind of strain right now.
pps - I probably need to re-guesstimate my max/min heart rate range and adjust my target zones. Ain't as young as I used to be.

Never AFAIK. Something for me to start googling.
Though my recent tests have a pretty clear story: my saturated fat intake had gotten really high lately. Can't know for sure but my test results are not surprising.
Heya! Happy to see you weigh in on this!
And we're talking like ~2tsp to sautee two big servings of brocolli every day. Couple tsps to sautee salmon. Might try microwaving popcorn kernels with a tsp in the bowl to add some crisp (probably the dodgiest use case, but loved doing that with olive oil!).
But I don't gulp down any oils in general (no salad dressings, not making pesto, etc).
So the difference between more or less good enough (avocado oil) vs maybe better (algae?) probably hardly matters. š¤·āāļø
I did start switching to ghee for some uses but after doing an advanced lipid panel and getting some pretty bad LDL-P counts, small particle counts, PLA2 inflammation, etc, I want to see how much a diet change from fish-eggs-cheese-nuts keto to high fiber, low saturated fat can have on the numbers.
So for now ghee is just too high in saturated fat. But if this algae oil is a viable option, it's even lower in saturated fat than avocado oil.
~3mo hardcore diet change for now, will reassess after next round of results.
What do the anti-seed oil folks think about algae cooking oil?
I've been using avocado oil + cast iron for years. Started reading up on oxidation in olive oil (tldr: basically hopeless if you buy it at a grocery store) and apparently avocado oil can / does(?) have similar issues.
This stuff claims to have more oxidative stability (when heated; dunno at rest) and the aluminum bottle is better than the typical plastic or glass.

I wonder how the speed would compare to this one written in python. Much difference you think? nostr:npub1tv8gmfhalwnxxquxjzeh6gtdsdz6vg7vx0s3rt7s7uuw6aujh32qn77wn2
Python 1000x slower. Rana is written in Rust. Basically as fast as good C/C++.
Glue def happening no matter which approach.
I did try flattening some of the cupping yesterday. Sprayed water on the cupped side, flipped it over and weighed it all down. After an hour it was a lot better. We'll see how much it reverts today.
I ended up ripping the 2x3s in half to do the under frame approach. One more round of planing to make them uniform. They're down to about 1.5"x1" at this point but feel sturdy enough to do the job.
Okay, maybe new plan: Do the simpler underneath frame.
Seal the plywood edges with drywall mud. Then paint the edges and outer frame.
That'll make the final step simpler: gluing on vinyl sheet flooring and trimming it to size
If I had planned better, I would have taken a direct before / after, but these pics are two different random sections. But on brief inspection, I didn't notice any big problem areas after running them through.
It definitely isn't perfect, but more than good enough for what I need!

The project is for my niece. Framing a piece of 4'x6' 3/4" plywood to be a kind of mini stage -- but the plywood is a bit warped. I figure I'll cut a channel into these and frame the plywood with them, forcing the plywood to seat flat in the channel.
Or maybe I'm over-thinking it. I tend to avoid screws in my construction now, but I could just build an under frame for it and screw it down. Hmmm.
The channel approach has the added benefit of concealing and protecting the plywood edges. It'll certainly look better that way.
Still leaning towards channel.
Flat blade! Still the stock Dewalt blade it came with. It's really soft pine.
šÆ!
Bonus: the planer is the only tool I have that I'm not scared of!
I'm always very careful with my table saw and mitre saw, but it's crazy how badly you can wreck yourself with them.
*er, that's 2x3 stock.
Always a good day when I have an excuse to use my planer!
From rough, splintery 1x3 stock...
...to finished-enough boards ready for building!
