  1. Universal and water parks perhaps?
  2. Potential bucket list course. Must play
  3. He thought it was an invitation
  4. FWIW, I understand the current belief is that 6-8 sets per week on a given muscle is really the max you'll get benefits from. Adding additional sets may have some additional benefit, but its fairly negligible and probably not worth the effort, particularly if it interferes with recovery. Just something to think about if you do start considering that 4th gym day
  5. I’m considering just targeting 177 lbs rather than 185 so that my non diet daily weigh ins will be around 185
  6. Do you know how many prior events we described the same way? On Mastadon, you can see new user spikes with each event, and there have been like a dozen so far. The vast majority of his base just keeps their head down and hope he targets someone other than their group with his next insane decision. It’s fucking Stockholm Syndrome in digital form. His users keep justifying why they stay (ROI! Audience!) as he beats the living shit out of them. Fascinating
  7. My diet break data has been interesting to look at. On April 10 I started my two week break and was at 204.2 Within the first week on break it spiked up to 210 and eventually maxed at 211.3 on April 22. From April 24-May 1 as I resumed the regular 2 lb/week diet, it plummeted to 203.2, suggesting I probably only gained 1 real pound of fat during that two week break, then burned it plus one additional pound last week. Pretty good evidence that the first 5-6 lbs gained when I stop dieting is quickly abandoned water and gut weight once I start again. Macanudo, this correlates well with your data, too. Suggests your likely operating right on target with 2-3 lbs of fat lost in addition to that excess water/gut weight.
  8. Though they deny it, I’m convinced the voice over guy for the ondeck.com commercials is Dave Grohl.
  9. It’s a beautiful story and you tell it so well … on a platform that explicitly promotes hate groups … which you fund, both directly and indirectly by driving ad revenue. But, again, cool story bro. Congrats on the exposure.
  10. Ah misread that as Q4 suited. Yeah Q4o is an instafold. Let’s “make plays” in position with suited hands that allow us to semi bluff cbet when flop gives us a draw. Q4o will almost never give you anything to semi bluff with
  11. Both plays were fine imo. I don’t do the AA UTG limp play myself but it can be quite effective at low stakes where there are a few always-aggro players. Risk is of course that everyone else limps too and you’re pretty much just set mining with rockets at that point and stand to lose a big pot by overplaying them post flop. Suited Q opener on button is proper in normal game with no straddle. May be edge with double straddle, though I like your sizing to cover that additional risk
  12. Playing the front tees just about anywhere is a blast. Don’t go back out of some sense of obligation. You’ll still experience the whole course, and removing that feeling of needing to bomb it helps most players’ games.
  13. This makes me think his contract expired. Was likely due for annual renewal today
  14. Mastodon is not complicated. It just takes work to build a feed since there’s not an algorithm force feeding you content from people you don’t follow.
  15. 2 day tourney in Orlando, 20 guys in my flight (12-16 handicaps) Finished Day 1 in 2nd place with a solid 81, but leader was on fire with a 77, so lots of work to do. Unfortunately for him, the first two holes today were not kind to him and we were in a 3 way tie by the 3rd hole. Through 8 holes, I had fallen 3 strokes behind the other guy. I hit a fairly poor drive, leaving myself 175 yards out, down in a rough valley to an uphill green where I could only see the top of the flag. I absolutely pured a 5h and could see it was immediately on line and never left it, but it didn’t even occur to me that I could get it close. When we approached the green and didn’t see it I assumed it had rolled through…. Nope! This is now the third time I’ve holed out from 165-175 yards, but I still don’t have my hole in one Other guy cards a bogie, so we finished the front all tied up with 40s. I didn’t play great on back, but good enough to get two more strokes ahead of second place with my 85.
