NPO at 11 pm tonight. wife is going to be my designated ride home from there as I'll at least leave there on crutches. then I'm going to advance myself to full weight bearing and ROM as tolerated, since I've got a flight to Reno to catch the next morning!

1099-B and -DIV auto-import day for Betterment and likely others. TurboTax time, thusly.

Will this finally be the year I'm audited, for claiming an EV tax credit under the Transition Rule of the IRA?! Anyone done their taxes with claiming the EV tax credit under the transition rule of the IRA? Purchase date == contract date, I'm guessing?

What do you do for the VIN for still not yet built vehicles? What's the in service date in this odd setting of a not yet delivered car?

Eldest kid is in her school’s spelling bee. She got an easy one to start. First kid.

Spindrift is my wife’s, for the record. Baby Aya just brought it over for herself. Round 2 passed by my kid. Only one kid eliminated in the first round. This may go on for a while

On-bike VO2max/lactate/skin fold test day

Warming up several hours before 2 pm with 30’ very easy. Not bothering to test lactate after this easy block.

Then will finish my morning work, grab my pedals, shoes, and HRM strap, and drive on south Image The meat of the data to come after my tester cleans up typos and emails it to me. But for now a few photos at least.

Cliffs Notes of the data: lower VO2 than I’d hoped, skin fold ~ Bod Pod, LT1 @ 180W, LT2 @ 220W, good fat oxidation through LT1, tapped out at 260W and 172 bpm. ImageImageImage

On today's edition of Story Time with Ojichan Toshi-kun: How I missed out on $50k of tax-exempt income.

To set the stage, I have student loans. I'm also an academic physician. I'm therefore the poster child in theory for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, PSLF. One of the steps one undertakes in applying for PSLF is periodically sending in a form that verifies that one's employment (in residency, fellowship, and as an attending alike) at a PSLF-eligible institution. That'd be governmental or 501(c)(3), more or less.

The linked article is actually quite reasonable, assessing various trials on their merits. (Many of them are so muddled as to not be testing one claim--see Lyon.)

Of them one old trial is of particular interest:

ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01… They kept total fat nearly constant while reduced cholesterol and increased linoleic acid in their experimental diet.

Moderate n (422-424). Adherence of about 50% fwiw.

An attempt to rationally define a glucose target for non-diabetic CGM users:

Per these linked works (both digs from second but good background in first) glycemic excursion is strongly associated with oxidative stress.

care.diabetesjournals.org/content/31/Sup…

jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… ImageImage The table shows that in ostensibly healthy controls excretion of this oxidative byproduct is of a level that corresponds (in the DM2 group) to a mean amplitude of glycemic excursions of 40 mg/dL.
