thestringpuller: lemme see if i can get the designer on the line
nubbins`: sure, i'm back and forth here for the next hour or so
usagi: I also imagine the restriction would also allow you to increase or reduce the ratio of fast twitch fibres, because theoretically the body wouldn't toss out muscle mass which is being frequently used
usagi: It's some random sports medicine stuff I am studying

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and by too clean i mean the sort that doesn't bareback random whores because "who knows what may happen" << this point has me reflecting. am i scanning the world of business ideas for puuurfect? when non-broken will suffice? well fuck.
