I get the urge to do that, it makes sense, I will say that my experience with buying stuff on amazon is that even if it gets pulled down because of racism or whatever (Always Sunny episodes), if I bought them I continue to have access to them. I'm sure it is technically correct that there's a license involved and obviously if I don't have a copy of the thing local to me on some media that I own I don't own it, but I've never lost access to any movies I've ever purchased on Amazon. it's not like you lose it if it goes to another streaming service - that's a different thing. Of course my comment about hell or high water was just a joke.

2026 Surly 10,000 Pushup Challenge
In 2023 we did a 10,000 Burpee Challenge. That was a useful accountability tool for me and I enjoyed having a thread and tracking my progress through the year. 2026 I want to do another fitness/exercise type goal. There are about 15 days left in the year, so if anyone would like to suggest a different goal that folks here can share, I am game. As it is for me, the goal I am thinking about is 2500 miles "cycled" (whether its road or peloton or whatever else) and 10,000 pushups. I think that 10k pushups should be fairly easy, 2500 miles might be a bit of a reach but I think I can do it. Both of those together I think are a good challenge. That's where I'm at for me right now, but this is fun as a group thing so if there is a different goal that people here would be interested in tracking together, I'm game. Unless it's 10,000 burpees.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Interesting - to make sure I'm understanding, she had her gallbladder removed and then continued to have symptoms afterwards which turned out to be this sphincter of oddi dysfunction thing? I'm reaaaaally hoping that the gallbladder removal (and once whatever is happening right now) takes care of her stuff but she was going a little crazy just not being able to get a doctor to figure out what was wrong with her for so long.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Wife has been dealing with some health struggles. Nagging nausea, insomnia, etc etc - it's been a whole journey that landed on gallstones. She had her gallbladder out Wednesday. Hopefully that solves the main problem. On Friday afternoon, we were at our 2 year old's preschool Christmas pageant. Obviously wfie is still a bit fragile two days out of surgery. Before it all kicks off, she starts talking about her chest hurting, it feels like something is sitting on her chest, she's having difficulty breathing, at this point I'm walking her to the front of this church where this thing is happening and noticing where the defibrillators and dialing 911. Soon there's a firetruck in front of the church with lights flashing, wife is still struggling on the couch with paramedics all around her working on her, I'm kinda pacing around on the periphery thinking through all the problems I need to head off or whatever they might need or information that may be missing etc, and then a church lady appears on my periphery doing the kinda "hey i'm being polite but let me get your attention" movement. I look at her and she asks "Is everything OK?" wife is fine, in the hospital, things will be ok, probably a stone got loose or her liver got knicked or something, my weekend has sucked, I know that this lady was trying to be helpful and is surely a nice person but fuck if I had laser eyes she'd be a pile of ash. I think I just said "No" and gestured at the evidence.

I got artist pricing on my Matchless and could still sell it at a straight profit. Maybe you know someone who can hook you up with a deal at the Gibson custom shop 😎

Bijan Robinson is special
Right, but when was Bijan a kid? That’s the point I was trying to make - whatever the etymology and without any hate in my heart as a kid in the 90s I thought that the queer was the queer in the same way that my homework was gay. If I used those words in those ways now, I’d say oops and apologize and move on. It’s not a big deal.

I think a useful distinction we should make especially with young men is the difference between using homophobic language (or sexist or racist or whatever) and being homophobic. Using language in a way that can hurt people doesn’t make you a piece of shit necessarily, and apologizing for that use doesn’t mean that you are admitting to being whatever bad thing it is that you are afraid to admit to being.- Bijan Robinson is special
I’m not sure if you think that I said something different.- Bijan Robinson is special
I always assumed that the "queer" in "smear the queer" meant "queer" in the same way that it always meant growing up in the 80s and 90s, which was gay. I haven't read any scholarly research on the game but I think you'd be twisting yourself up to make a point for some reason to think that someone Bijan's age would, outside of the context of maybe a Hardy Boys book, associate the word "queer" when applied to a person as meaning something other than gay.- The Guitar Pron Thread

Millennial gray-washing, please. Of course we all called this game smear the queer when we were kids. Of course that was always homophobic and societally we've recognized that. Tying up your masculinity in refusing to acknowledge, apologize, and move on from a minor gaffe like this would make you a giant pussy. Bijan is not that guy.- We're the Cheeziest party at Immamac's House Dec 31 2025 - Texas VS Michigan

Strong approve- 2025 Weight Loss/Exercise Thread
I bet you’re right, I think 10k pushups is probably easy, especially considering I successfully did 10k burpees a few years back. Currently my meetings start at 6 am every morning and run through lunchtime, it’s a fucking beating. I suspect that I want to do some different stuff, kettlebell whatever, I think some kind of simple goal along the bike will keep me honest with doing something strength specific.- 2025 Weight Loss/Exercise Thread
On exactly the opposite front, I had been rucking a lot, which I do think was good for a bit of core and back strength, but the cold weather (and the fact that we bought a peloton) has pushed me to the peloton which is in fact an ass kicker. The comment above that spin class is different than cycling rings true to me - I’ve always at the gym hopped on a bike and cycled, I had my bike in my office on a stand just cycling, doing classes now with the peloton is a different thing altogether. anyways, i may start a new thread but i think maybe 2500 peloton miles is a more reasonable goal for me as well, on the basis of “I have about 30-40 minutes a night”. My objective this year is building some strength and cardiovascular fitness, I really need some kind of simple, objective, measurable number chase to help get me there, about 200 miles a month and about 30 pushups a day seems the right mix of challenging but achievable. - Bijan Robinson is special
