Here's more on #eggs and why they're important through #WhatIveLearned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjrxXC3kGf4 - apparently, #egg has the most easily absorbed #proteins https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pO-qGtjO5m0 and not all are the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJNF2_dCWkg
#Lifehacker quotes the same study https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.23578 to offer practical suggestions in getting #protein https://lifehacker.com/do-this-to-avoid-protein-hunger-1849768279
Just learned more about a "year-long study of the dietary habits of 9,341 Australians" by ABS re-enforcing the #ProteinLeverageHypothesis, which claims that #ProteinHunger drives our #overeating as our body seeks to fulfill its #proteins need

Let me do my re-#introduction, inspired by @andryou:
I too live in #Toronto #Ontario #Canada but I have no cats anymore (used to have a black cat, Midnite, from my parents, but set him up with a retired couple who had more time). My home is a science-oriented instance, so I will try to keep my posts in that area, then re-post to my Twitter account (maybe I can automate this?). I don't follow back on Twitter but I will try to do so here!
"Creating the game was a collaborative effort with... a variety of sponsors, including its largest backer, Cadillac Fairview."
“At CF, real estate is our game. So it's only fitting"
It's Monopoly, but with higher rents and CF rules: first person to completely cover the map with empty high-rise condos wins, regardless of their debt!
Also, if you stay in one place too long, or voice concerns about the rules, you go to jail.

@marathon0 Maybe Elon's plan wasn't merely #creativedestruction, but rather obliterating #Twitter to get people on Mastodon, then use it as a base to create is #everythingapp :)
