  1. All calories are not equal either. There are a number of ways to track these, but to keep it simple just eat whole foods. Nothing processed. Water, black coffee, basic tea without sweeteners. Proteins such as eggs, beef, chicken, fish. Use salt/pepper and whole butter. Vegetables and fruits. The "potato hack" is kind of cool if you crave carbs. Boil potatoes, then let them cool down and the carbs turn into insoluble starches/fiber. Think potato salad. It's glycemic index becomes effectively zero. You can reheat, broil or bake them, etc.
  2. You gotta' get better the same way you got sick. You made incremental, consistent choices over time to gain weight, you have to do the same to lose it. Daily movement, track your calories, and learn more about the ingredients in all the stuff that you eat. For me, it's a high protein, low carb diet. Lots or water. Daily movement + makeshift home gym. If you're working out, avoid isolation exercises. Focus on compound movements that engage multiple muscles. These can be bodyweight stuff, like pushups, pullups, body-weight squats. I have a cheat band on the pullup bar because pullups kick my ass.
  3. For sure. We moved in back in '04, so I do have 20 years of experience. For many it was proximity to so many large corporate headquarters (Countrywide, JCP, Frito Lay, etc.) and the ability to get in on fairly new housing developments. We were in Lone Star initially (west side of Frisco) and then moved into PCR. Same reasons, new development, builders giving away the farm on new builds. We moved less than a mile but needed the space with two kids so we upgraded. Frisco caps all it's HS's @ 5A, so there are 12 of them and two more in the works. Smaller schools with a stellar reputation for the most part as a district. I have a good neighbor who is Indian that I corrupting over time. He was a truck now, albeit 4x2....pusssssyyyyy.....;) From his stories so many Indian/Asian families move in and bring their extended families. Then friends of friends follow. If I was doing the same, it makes perfect sense. Apparently, an Indian Guru also blessed the city, paving a path for many families from India who see this as a good omen. Massive temple off Eldorado, etc. We're blessed bitches! The ONLY bad thing is my daughter struggles to be in the top 10 %, but then again, push yourself little goblin. Shit isn't supposed to be easy.
  4. I wonder if this dog & pony show is to try and get a change of venue? If so, where would they switch to?
  5. Sadly, my guess is most of that money is going to be sucked dry by this grifting "PR" firm. The newest talking point from this "representative" is that Frisco should have cancelled the meet because it was rainy and overcast.....and somehow that is problematic? I don't quite even follow the point, but somehow the meet should have been cancelled which would have prevented everyone from being there, and thus no confrontation, and no stabby-stabby? It hurts my brain to even type this out, trying to explain what I think he's saying.
  6. There's merch now. "Free Karmelo" shirts, etc.
  7. Grift knows no racial, ethnic, or economic boundaries unfortunately. He's going to suck these poor parents dry, Karmelo is going to get basically the same sentencing he would otherwise, and this jackass is on to the next victim
  8. Am I a lawyer? I don't feel like a lawyer?
  9. No man, he's just asking questions. Well, that's kind of fucking depressing. I don't want my attorney bitching and moaning on a chatroom all damn day.....;)
  10. Yep, the ones g-father wore were paper thin. Thrift shops often have a decent selection as well. Picked up a bunch back in the day. To quote the great Jason Boland: Cheap bourbon whiskey and pearl-snap shirts Are two things that stay the same So when the world starts spinnin' and your head hurts There's a cheap bourbon whiskey and pearl-snap shirt
  11. I'd assume all cell phones were taken/scrubbed as evidence?
  12. Lol, which makes perfect sense. Stalking the woods, having to hit a small, often alerted animal that moves fast, is elevated, alerts others to your presence, and all with open sights - probably with a single-shot .22lr. Shit isn't easy.
  13. "Rads" on a moving target is similar to mil-dots on a fixed scope. They both account for movement, velocity, and direction. Long-range shooters geek out over this stuff, even taking into consideration the Coriolis effect, or the rotation of the Earth and it's impact on the trajectory of the bullet at extreme ranges.
  14. Not at all. Family went to our old church, so we still new a lot of the people at the service. Lots of kids know each other. Friends of friends. Lots of older (relatively), ranch style houses in that part of town. Few McMansions. Many more apartment complexes. Just "normal" as it gets I guess?
  15. Yep. "old" Frisco is just as blue-collar as anywhere. Lots of new apartments as well all over to allow people to take advantage of the school districts without having to buy a house.
  16. Yeah, that would make a hell of a truck/hiking/camping/HD option for all the reasons I mentioned above with the Ruger carbine, but in an even more compact option.
  17. No sir, that .22mag is fun as hell to shoot and would ruin someone's day if you had to use it. The Ruger carbine is fantastic. It's my top suggestion for HD for a new gun owner. You can load higher cap mags, minimal recoil, less report than a 5.56 and much less concerns of wall penetration and because you can anchor it to your shoulder and get two hands on it, it's more accurate for a newb to use. And they are fun as hell, which promotes more familiarity and competency with it
