  1. Man that was only last … ah fuck, time do go
  2. First ep starting to pick up…
  3. We’re in full swing at the Celery household
  4. Just noticed that Caught Stealing is on Netflix - that was a fun flick
  5. Free upgrade on xbox. Or, free for me, I'm not sure if you had to already own it or not, but I did and got a notification that it is free for 11 days. I did a big play through of RDR2 not too long ago and installed RDR to continue the story after the epilogue of RDR2. It's obviously an all time great game, but the 360 version is pretty long in the tooth and a bit difficult after RDR2. I haven't gotten too far yet in the remastered RDR (just woke up on the farm, time to do chores) but this does seem like a gameplay improvement, and while the graphics aren't RDR2 they are improved.
  6. The Grinch (Jim Carrey) is the single ugliest movie I have ever seen.
  7. Knives Out 3 is great. I think it hits Netflix next week - I went ahead and caught it at the drafthouse and really enjoyed it.
  8. We just got a peloton at the end of October - we've had a tread+ for a long time (wife runs marathons) but I'm not interested in that. I had my bike on a stand in my office and was spending half an hour on it a few times a week (and usually on other nights taking a 2.5 mile walk with 40 pounds in a backpack). Wife decided we should get a peloton bike which was fine with me and holy shit I did not realize how easy the bike on the stand was in comparison to the Peloton. Anyways, I'm still fairly early in the peloton game but 3000 miles is like 8.2 miles a day, I'm doing more like 6-7 in a twenty minute class which I'm not doing every day. I could probably up the time and I bet I'll get better on the distance but that number is probably higher than what I'll aim for on the bike. Especially since I do also like walking around with the weighted backpack and won't hit it every night anyways. I am not a learned man when it comes to most of the exercise stuff, but to the extent that I do planks it's something I hit for a few minutes to try and work my abs, not something I'm doing to try and burn calories or work up a sweat. I figure if you're exerting yourself lifting or doing pushups or whatever else to target muscles, that's going to get your heart rate up a bit, but I assumed that isn't the point of that kind of exercise? For me, I feel like if I'm on the bike that's good cardio and working on my vo2 max or whatever, rucking around is a mix of moderate cardio and moderate core strength, and doing planks is something I've tried to work a bit in just to try and build some muscle under the skin that used to hold more fat. I was doing some other stuff - situps, leg lifts, etc but I kept tweaking shit or just rubbing my back raw. I'm sure there's a lot of user error in there. I do feel like pushups would do that thing while also working other muscles and that will probably be one of my number targets next year. I weigh myself every day, but I really like the Happy Scale app because it gives you a smoothed average. If I eat a junky meal for dinner (especially lots of salt), my weight will pop up the next morning but it's obviously inflammation, and the line doesn't creep up much.
  9. Alright I don’t know which thread this conversation belongs in but I’ll do it here - a couple of years back we did a 10,000 burpees thing, that was very motivating. I don’t want to do fucking burpees but I am trying to come up with some year long metric based exercise goals for 2026 that will support a general goal of cardiac health and some strength building with a slight focus on core. Personally, I’m thinking probably some peloton mileage goal (easy enough) and then maybe…. 10,000 pushups? X minutes planked? if anyone is looking for or has set a resolution/goal/whatever for 2026 and wants to do a surly challenge, within reason I’m game
  10. again anecdotal, and of course people go to laha and fall off like any other place, but I saw some of this with the family member as well. it was not their first time doing rehab, and it was a lot of "oh man this place is completely different, I'm getting so much more out of this" when I went to visit. I think LaHa is really good in general - I think there are a lot of places that are set up to process insurance and meet legal requirements and etc where LaHa is truly a place and an organization that is centered on a mission of recovery. it's part of the whole deal and it sucks every time. rest peaceful buddy
  11. It’s still there after 5 years, coming out at night to do its dirty business. Every now and then I notice extra dirt and have to pull a sock out of its mouth.
  12. Hahahahhahahahaaha
