  1. is shit like that for real? people setting their phones on tripods to record themselves working out in a public gym?
  2. save $5 and go pantless. WTF, i can't see asking/'forcing' people to donate to divisive charities at work.
  3. his other series Traveler's Gate trilogy is really good too. i am big fan of WW
  4. they need a 'patch' for the dopamine/serotonin (or whatever) hit i get when consuming chocolate. that pull is way stronger than anything i have had for tobacco or caffeine. It's nothing to do with hunger or being full. luckily had metabolism to counter the results but nearing 50 that may be waning. around xmas time i just said fuck it and started rampaging on sweets and lo and behold there is 5lbs more of me to enjoy in 2023 so far.
  5. you shut your whore mouth! nah, agree that's not real bbq. at least they don't even call it brisket, but whatever it is it's good but i really like their sauce, though. i am having flashbacks of my cattle ranching family complaining that Underwoods bought 'foreign' beef. never reached the point of an aggy-like boycott, though The potato thing is very interesting. we always make twice baked potatoes where they are chilled/frozen until we need them. I would have pigged out even more had i known.
  6. ah well...nevertheless.jpg is my prediction now if the child abduction was supported by something like 'suspicious' Wayfair furniture descriptions, then send up the bat-signal. But if the lady could not even convince a journalist/media of anything and only tweeted some crazy out ... not buying it (for the record, MG is a piece of shit)
  7. longtime LP user. love that works on PC and mobile (within most apps). does Bit Warden work on phones (android if it matters). FML, i have soooo much shit stored on LP but each new press release makes it seems like they are proper fucked and users would be stupid not too switch. Have also heard good things about Dashlane
  8. i read the first page and then skipped to the last. This question of "what can we do to make fewer people feel like they don't need one" is to basically ban them from downtown/high pedestrian traffic areas. redo parking lots to relegate trucks/SUVs to last row/farthest from door parking enforced with civil fines. lower the height of parking garages a few inches to make it impossible for them to enter. Another big deterrent would have be insurance costs. if trucks are truly hitting more pedestrians then it seems natural that premiums would be higher. now i am not championing those things (I drive a truck), but it would take some very heavy handed tactics to change things so that trucks were relegated back to 'work only' status and not used as daily drivers for city folk. I doubt this will happens as most American cities reactions to traffic/parking is just build more lanes/spaces. it's way more convenient to me in the short term, but likely unsustainable long term as city populations continue to rise along with their 'burbs and there are no incentives (good or bad) to reduce driving other than some jobs extending WFH. I drive a truck (plain Sierra 2WD 1500) mostly because the cab is big and my 6'7'' frame fits in nicely (no sunroof though, those make the cab too short). Me putting my seat all the way back still leaves a little room for the kids in the back seat. All mid size and some full size sedans leave no room in the back seat if the front seats are pushed all the way back. It's 99% a kid hauler and we take all road trips in my truck. Used to trucks were way cheaper than a big 'luxury' sedan that had a real back seat and spacious front seats. That's not really the case anymore i guess. The Toyota Tundra Crewmax had the absolute biggest back seats and most room between front seats and back seats. loved that truck but it legit got 13mpg or so.
  9. most cortisone shots are preceded by a lidocaine shot, which is pretty awesome and makes your shoulder feel bulletproof for the rest of the day. I have had good luck with cort shots relieving pain that simply was not going away in my knee (torn meniscus) and shoulder (arthritis). Had a buddy i play bball with who gets the gel shots in his knee. Said his doc told him the gel was better long term than a cort shot for the joint if you were going to be getting either on the reg for years.
  10. lol, about the same thoughts from me when i stumbled on the show. was like, why tf are these people on TV?
  11. promises promises... but that's quite the non sequitur
  12. hasn't GQP moved on to putting gas stoves on a flag and saying come and take it? it's one thing to be on the cutting edge of stupidity but to regurgitate months old falsehoods is just bad form for the aspiring right wing want-to-be funny person.
  13. I had several of those bad boys and rode the bus past the headquarters often-Gayla Industries. Pride of Nawf Side H town. Inwood up to no good. hell yeah. i tried taping nails to one during a kite battle. the result was ... not such a flight-worthy kite
  14. so basically this guy
  15. what is the stated purpose of a sheriff's role in gov/law enforcement? since they are elected they are inherently corrupt and not qualified to do whatever job they are tasked with.
  16. i mean it's better than the lets go brandon stuff. at least this dude just says it vs the all the alphas that see the need to use code.
  17. thought 1st ep was great. wife is not usually into horror/zombie type stuff be she liked it as well.
  18. 1000 times this. We are able to watch real time footage of our mid-level tech vs what Russia is throwing out there. This intel is priceless. Plus all the munitions that will have to be rebuilt here on home soil maintains/creates a lot jobs. I mean, if we are going to keep the Defense budget what it is, it makes complete sense to keep supplying them arms and tech.
  19. i follow that account for the lulz. probably some incel in the basement wishing any girl would talk to him. his notions on how easy farming/ranching is and how idyllic that lifestyle is are extremely off base. and yes, the breast milk icecream is a recurring thing with this nut.
  20. China Eastern seems like it sucks.
  21. i had him benched all week, but put him back in the lineup because yahoo said he was changed from questionable to healthy right before game time. thought about just leaving him on the bench but then faded my first intuition as i normally get it wrong.
  22. I was up slightly and had him vs Nick Folk. so yes, yes i did get proper folked by him and lost by 2 points. still sitting 4th place (top 4 make playoffs) with the last regular season game this week. good start with Kittle so far.
