There is no sarcasm here. I'm genuinely happy for him.

The longer he lives the longer steam stays steam.

I hope he has created an army of loyalists for when he is gone. But it is still a matter of when not if.

I hope it was healthy weight loss and not because of cancer or something.

[–] TrousersMcPants 49 points 7 months ago

It definitely looks like healthy weight loss in this picture, he looks very healthy for his age

[–] RGB3x3 38 points 7 months ago

Wow, he legitimately looks great! Good for him!

We have to protect him at all cost

Semaglutide is a hell of a drug.

[–] peopleproblems 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I went from 280-210 with it. Then I couldnt get it filled and started emotionally eating because of my ex and I'm back at 270. Doc will start me on Wegovy next, but these damn drug are going to save so many lives.

Not only does it help you lose weight, it helps you eat healthier. Like, shit, it's perfect.

That's good even for environment

Maybe in the long run, but I don't think people overeating less is going to have any sort of immediate effect on food production. A bigger problem is all the waste.

My roomie is a trucker. For a while he delivered goods to grocery stores and such. Quite frequently they'd reject entire pallets in case of even minor damage. I sort of get it, but also not. They'd end up with literal tons of bread for example, enough to feed a town for a week, that would just go to be incinerated. Some warehouse workers and drivers allegedly took bread with them home, which they're not allowed to do because that counts as theft.

Cutting down on food waste should be a very high priority, it's great on an individual level because food is fucking expensive so you'll save money, but even more so it's important on a larger scale. It's not okay that corporations and companies can waste food as wildly as they do. Agriculture is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, only topped by power and heat generation and transport (which honestly, food production uses both of those), so such wanton waste because a pallet got slightly scuffed should be penalised.

It also shouldn't be fucking criminal to take stuff that's going to be incinerated anyway. The main excuse is obviously "but it could be harmful" - bread doesn't bruise, if something got particularly squashed people just won't take that, but the vast majority of the stuff could've honestly just gone on store shelves.

Food waste is an issue indeed, but knowing the carbon impact of the food in general, this tend to be so high that an electric bike is more efficient carbon wise than a regular one because the food we need to eat to get back those calories are in general more carbon intensive the the energy we get from the grid.

Not that peoples should stop exercising, but eating less and get healthy in the process is a win win in this case

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fat people sequester carbon. When they lose weight it gets released back into the atmosphere.

I would pay good hard earned money for an RPG with Gaben in the role of a wizard

He was born for that role

But why did they take the image in the kitchen?

[–] sagrotan 17 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Dude! Is that how your kitchen looks? What are you cooking there?

[–] CrowAirbrush 13 points 7 months ago

It definitely has that restaurant kitchen vibe, with the pasta maker and microwave plus those storage racks.

[–] NotSafeForWorld 6 points 7 months ago

Shh, let him cook

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

That's what a professional kitchen often looks like...

Thats an electronics lab from what i can see but its hard to tell.

[–] 0Xero0 9 points 7 months ago

What? You never cooked a full course meal with a soldering iron and electrical tapes before?

[–] affiliate 1 points 7 months ago

i guess you and i have pretty different looking kitchens

[–] qbus 1 points 7 months ago

I wonder if that's the chef steps kitchen. I know he was a backer of them in the beginning before they were bought out by breville

[–] ConditionOverload 16 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah Lord GabeN doing well!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

He looks like Mr Doubtfire.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

61... He looks younger than he is.

[–] CoolBeance 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This man does not look like he owns a racing team

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] CoolBeance 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He co-founded an auto racing team with someone at Valve called The Heart of Racing. He's pretty active there actually, even participates in some of the marketing material for a racing series called IMSA(International Motor Sports Association).

[–] phoneymouse 7 points 7 months ago

Hope this means we get more time with him

[–] Schmuppes 0 points 7 months ago

Maybe he's not happy with it, though?
