      I see what you’re trying to do.

      Attempt this with physically demanding labor.

      Splitting hairs doesn’t Invalide my original point. Being contrarian by default doesn’t make you clever.

        Yeah, I get low blood sugar and can’t think or use my limbs properly. Although I always carry food with me for this reason.

        [Hang with me a sec and it’ll become clear, I promise]

        Casino dealers get a break every 90-120min that they have to take (barring short staffing event outliers). Being a croupier is not what most would call physically demanding, when contrasted to, idk, framing. But it’s mentally exhausting.

        Just so everyone’s at the same understanding, in yr average 2000cal day, the brain burns 1200 of those calories. All your physical exertion burns the last 800cal. So some muscles are more energy intensive than others.

        Casinos did the science and found that people are cost effective, more or less good to go, with 90min of engaging mental exertion. Think arithmetic, not calculus. After 90 mistakes become more expensive then giving the person a 20 min break to let their brain clear out cortisol or lactic acid.

        That means there’s about a 2hr buffer of ATP in the body before we start slipping.

        Don’t deny workers their calories. It’s bad all around, for all parties.

        (Fantastic last lines, btw)
