  1. "The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant." - Maximilien de Robespierre
  2. Market isn't gonna like Israel bombing Iran tonight.
  3. Fill up your tanks today. Gas prices gonna jump this week.
  4. Elbow in. No big circular sweeping motions going back there like I normally do. Elbow in and straight back.
  5. 3 of us now have multi week shoulder injuries. The hamstring will get those remaining and this will be a spectacular fail. I don't even need to cheat with how our bodies are giving out 1 by 1. I just need to be the last one standing the day we do this it seems. We are all in the 43-51 age range. Update today is its not as bad as I was fearing. I'm gonna take the next 2 weeks off lifting but I can drive/turn the wheel, shower, carry milk, brush my teeth, and wipe my ass without pain although i have to be deliberate in my movements. It's my dominant arm that was fucked but I didn't think I'd be able to do any of those things today. Range of motion also improved in the past 24 hours, markedly. Not gonna try much weight bearing activities though for at least a week.
  6. No change in this year's appraisal but I'll be paying more due to homestead exemption and the 10% increase limit from last year.
  7. Our fantasy football draft order this year is determined by how many times we can rep 135, our vertical, and our 40 time. Basically a combine for slow white old dudes.
  8. I had an unintentional movement and reposition on my back/lower legs while bringing the weight down and had an awkward bar reposition. Felt a muscle "jiggle" in my shoulder area. Stopped and went home. Now the muscle in between my left TRAP and shoulder blade on my back is in pain when I move my arm around. Nothing hurts per se when Im still but its looking like its gonna get worse before it gets better. No issue on my chest. Initially I felt the jiggle in my left shoulder but now the pain is really on that upper back area. What did I do? how long am I out? What do I need to do to recover? I took 4 advil and am icing my shoulder and upper back area on my left side. Getting old sucks Pain is where the supraspinatus muscle is on the back side and then the front shoulder deltoid like where my bursa is.
  9. Navy Seals use box breathing to reduce stress and anxiety. I use it and it helps with most any situation where im nervous or stressed. Breathe in 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. repeat. See below. To begin the practice, expel all of the air from your chest. Keep your lungs empty for a four-count hold. Then, perform your inhalation through the nose for four counts. Hold the air in your lungs for a four-count hold. When you hold your breath, do not clamp down and create back pressure. Rather, maintain an expansive, open feeling even though you are not inhaling. When ready, release the hold and exhale smoothly through your nose for four counts. This is one circuit of the box-breathing practice. https://www.medicinenet.com/why_do_navy_seals_use_box_breathing/article.htm
  10. I'll get the same use out of that tux as I would my solar eclipse glasses.
  11. Ive thought about it and while Im sure you wont keep any logs, this is the first thing that popped into my head when I read that. The P in VPN stands for porn, at least for me. So with that... I have to keep my Asian fetishes to myself.
  12. Here are 2 pics we took 1 minute apart. The difference between a 99% eclispe and a total eclipse.
  13. Subtle change in the blue sky. Subtle changes in overall light. But it is for sure noticeable now
  14. Quarter of the way across here in flower mound. Looks incredible. Still partly cloudy.
  15. Just got sunny in Flower Mound after an hour or so of thick cloud cover. 2.5 hours left for the clouds to hold out.
  16. I'd buy a T shirt and coffee mug for sure. Since it hasn't been mentioned I'd also buy a computer wrist rest or mouse pad
  17. After reading this, I completely agree. The thread as run its course and is not a goodbye thread. Time to do what you need to do Imma but letting this linger through Monday isnt right. And delete the thread after please. No reason to keep it running either.
  18. Never in a million years would I think Blacklab's name was Bob. I always assumed he would be like a James or a Caleb. My insignificant contribution to this thread is Derka, put Motown on ignore. Jesus. You arent a child. Take a step back and look at the reality you have created for yourself with this situation. Its stupid and childish. I like having you here on this site even though I dont think you and I have ever interacted with each other. I view you posting here as part of the fabric of Surly and assumed most everything was a tongue and cheek back and forth between you and the other posters. Immamac, I personally wouldnt ban him but you have to do what you have to do. Derka, Motown and Imma all need to take a step back and reassess this as it has gone WAY too far and looks stupid to most everyone else here. Anyway, whatever. The Days of our Surly Lives.
  19. Every single Congressman knows if they are the ones to usher in some austerity/balance the budget, they will never be re-elected. And the American public is too stupid to see any further than their next paycheck. There is only 1 solution. Congressional budget limits must be set by an independent committee, IE the fed. Congress can spend it however they wish but the Fed tells them what the limit is per year.
  20. I was a raid leader in WoW for a Mythic guild for about 10 years. This is all true. I developed some wonderful managerial skills that I have used and continue to use on a daily basis. I have been a pharmacy director managing upward of 20 people both in person and remote. Every time I look at a resume I hope to see something like this. I would be intrigued. But they better not lie about it because I will call that shit out in 1 question.
