  1. To strike back, he doesn’t need it. Our base was attacked.

    It (War Powers Resolution) provides that the president can send the U.S. Armed Forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization", or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces".

  2. This is some good stuff. If you can get some West Slope, it’s worth it. 

    We visited the winery and had them ship us a case. It’s a great tour and tasting spot outside of Sanoma. The art work on the grounds is awesome.
  3. It doesn't feel great on my knees but I just realized I can do a full depth bodyweight squat. Like my damn hamstrings touching my calves. 3 years ago that angle was probably 110 degrees. I'm still falling apart at 46, but the work with the trainer and his guidance on shit my joints will allow me to do has really made a huge difference. Sorry for the humblebrag. It's been a rough week and I need to go to bed tonight feeling happy about where I'm at physically. A coworker (49) told me today that he had a heart jerk last week. He runs 30 miles a week, eats perfect, doesn't drink or smoke. 6'0, 173. Between that and the Warriors assistant coach keeling over at 46 and I'm going to keep making changes in a positive direction.

    Sales guy that worked for my wife died of a massive heart attack before Christmas. He was 45. He ate well, ran marathons and seemed to be in great health. Tell your co-worker to get into his docs office for stress tests, etc.
  4. They look awesome. I want one. However, I can’t justify getting rid of my truck. I work from home. We fly for most trips. It’s a 2017 Tundra with only 85k miles. It’s paid for. There is no good reason at all to trade in.

  5. If retired - vacation homes are much easier to own. I watched my grandparents own the family lake house and they could spend a month there. My grandfather built a second bedroom, boat house, screened in back porch, etc, etc. over those summers. They could also go up a week here and a week there just about monthly.

  6. I need a good free weights workout plan that's reasonable.  I have lifted a bunch in my life, but it's been a good while.  I'm also old (46) and have had 6 knee surgeries, so have to be careful.  Anyone have something they like?  (I'm going back to read the thread to see what's been said so far, just haven't had time to do it)
     

    I turned 46 today and have joint issues. I joined the app The Ladder. There are a bunch of different coaches / teams on there that fit what you want to do. I think it’s $20 a month.

  7. I’ve been using SmartGym on my phone and watch and really been liking it so far. 
     
    I’m not trying to gain weight or lose weight but the gym at 5 AM is where I do all my planning for the workday or week ahead. I like how the app keeps track of the next exercise, reps, heart rate, time between sets, etc so I don’t have to. 
     
    Also the best feature is it will recommend a new exercise (same muscle group) after you’ve done the same one for 5 or so workouts. 

    I joined a team on The Ladder app. I’m really happy with it.
  8. Honest question, because I haven't been keeping up on this particular tragedy:  why was a 6th grader at the high school?
    (not victim shaming)

    They were attending a breakfast - per the news.
  9.  
    There's a house about a mile from mine.  Guy has a detached work shop that runs alongside the road.  In late 2019-early 2020, he put out a Trump 2020 flag (you know, one of the blue ones).  Attached it to the side of the shop.  It started fading within a year, and after the election, he kept it up.  Over time, it became tattered and eventually just rotted away, with maybe a 1 x 1 square of a top corner left behind.
    I just figured he was over it all, since no other flags or messages went up on his property.
    Sure as shit, on Jan 1, up went a Trump 2024 flag in the same place.
     
     

    My wife passes some land on the way to her warehouse that had 4 or 5 Trump 2020 flags up. They were worn and torn. A few months ago the Trump 2024 flags went up. These people are sick.
  10. I am on the opposite side. We sold our family lake house. This past summer was our first without it and outside of missing being with family there, I didn’t miss owing it at all.
