    Anybody have a 339?

    Is that the little 335? I feel like someone mentioned having one of those, but I may be remembering some long ago discussion on a different board.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    I don’t have a pelaton, but I do have the IFit bike and I ride outside. I’m shooting for 3000 miles in 2026. Breaks down to roughly 57 miles a week.

    Trying to talk myself into this as a challenge. I think it may be too high, especially since I don’t want to just cycle all year long, but I’m also picking up a lot of endurance on the bike and it may be more achievable than I think. If I was committing right now I think it would be this (or maybe 2500 miles) and 10k pushups.

    if I can keep upping the resistance a bit and maybe throw in some long rides every now and again (it’s gotta get easier with the youngest at 2 right now) I think it could be done.

    They talk about TP as if it's the Boy Scouts or MYF or something.  For fuck's sake it's a political organization.

    That's the other thing about Kirk, he was nothing more than a politico and a lightweight at that.  Not even a George Will or Wm. F. Buckley.

    Also, I think there are 1A problems with this.  Big-time, bro.

  6. Ask the parents if they have a toniebox or a yoto. I thought it looked like the stupidest goddamn waste of money ever but the toniebox figures are a bit 👍👍👍from the 4 year old, we’re about to get another one for the 2 year old.

  7. An awesome gift for a 3 year old that parents will appreciate is anything in the category of “restaurant/car ride/plane trip activity”. The little coloring books with the markers that only color the special pages, the sticker books, little portable magnet princess dress up things, I love it when we get shit like that that I can toss in the kid backpack and bust it out when it’s needed.

  8. 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.
