  1. HIs recruiting profile says he is 168. I am betting the cops did not weigh the guy. Probably an old weight from when he got his license or permit at 15 or 16. My weight on my conceal carry license is 50 pounds off.
  2. The Stanford pass rusher visited. Double Eagle money and less competition for PT prevailed.
  3. My main nutrition vice is Diet Dr. Pepper. Don't care. I am not stopping. A man has to have a vice or two. Still drink plenty of water.
  4. We have absolutely nothing that suggests Karmelo Anthony had a reasonable fear that his life was in danger or a reasonable fear that he needed to use deadly force to prevent him from suffering a serious bodily injury.
  5. He reminded me of chance mock against Washington state.
  6. I’ve always slept well. About four summers ago I had a fistula on my ass. Side effect was it was it was pressing on my prostate. And I could legit not pee. I was in so much pain I from my bladder being full I almost passed out. It was middle of night. My wife couldn’t drive me because kids were too young to be home alone at night. My parents were out of town. So I drove to the Methodist urgent care nearby. I fainted and almost broke my arm from falling when I walked in door (my potassium level was like zero). They put a catheter in me and the relief was like nothing I’ve ever felt. I think I pissed out like three liters of urine. I went home with the catheter in. The problem was I couldn’t sleep. It felt like I was constantly dribbling pee due to catheter so any time I was close to dozing off I’d wake. I went four nights with no sleep. I was literally going insane from sleep deprivation. The weirdest shit was going through my mind due to no sleep. Like math equations I had no idea what they meant. I’ve never do e hallucinogens but it must have been what it was like. Im a great sleeper. Can’t imagine what it would be like to have a sleep disorder. But I had a small taste and wanted to die.
  7. This sounds like legit disabilities to me. Don’t think that much of the advice here applies to you or that you choose to be disabled. Sincerely wish you well.
  8. Maybe. But he will be 21 when season starts. He should be a senior. Or RS junior. I just wasn’t impressed. Usually a qb that’s young will make mistakes and make some plays. He did not make plays. He was bad.
  9. There is a less than zero percent chance he puts up better numbers than Nico. Would be embarrassing for everyone but Tenn if that happens. He has to cut down on pics. But he seems to me to be in a better position to make plays than Nico. Nico barely made any plays in the games I watched. He looked like warmed over dogshit despite playing in a simple system that is QB friendly.
  10. Access to information is so much better now. Just about everyone has a powerful computer in their pocket that allows access to all the information you need at no cost. You can easily track what you need with free apps. Some will do a pretty decent estimate with a photo of your food. You don’t have to listen to bad government food pyramids that are carb heavy. Many places list calories on menus. That didn’t exist until pretty recently. Yet people keep getting fatter and fatter. Not just here but all over the world. People need to take responsibility for their own health. The teens I sponsor down in Haiti are broke as shit. They eat mostly rice and beans. They walk a lot. They have to just to get water for the house, making multiple trips to the well with their 5 gallon buckets for household needs. They don’t have access to the information the average poor American does. Yet they are fit and could walk from one place be it the island to the other. Amazingly, they somehow manage to not look like slobs when they dress despite not having a washing machine or dryer. Because they take pride in their appearance.
  11. Exercise helps. Especially weights or resistance training. But it’s 90 percent diet for most of us.
  12. They should have used Dirk Diggler’s You’ve Got the Touch instead or Alabama’s
  13. Yep. When I ate in a deficit to lose weight I wasn’t hungry. Because I ate nothing but protein and veggies. Literally that was it. Chicken. Eggs. Elk. Bison. Venison. Protein shakes. And all the green veggies I could handle eating. Nothing else for three months other than one slice of pizza when I was in Aspen for my birthday. Weight just fell off. Why? Because protein fills you up. 200 calories of chicken or elk is a lot more filling than 200 calories of Mountain Dew or Oreos. I wasn’t ever hungry and I was in Montana for most of those three months hiking up the top of a mountain first thing every day and doing all sorts of active shit — walking, hiking, biking, jogging, swimming, slalom skiing, fishing, etc. You want to lose weight? Cut out everything but lean proteins and veggies. Almost impossible to bust your calorie budget doing that. Was for me at least. Pretty sure I was in ketosis for months.
  14. People were thinner when they had less money to spend or at least chose not to eat out like people do now. It is much easier to eat healthy when you cook your own meals and portion your own plates. Step one for poor people would be to stop drinking calories. Just doing that will cut a ton of calories. And save them money. Guarantee you poor people consume more sugary drinks than people with money.
  15. Username checks out.
  16. I assume he was olive or dark olive skinned. I know he was not white and don't really care what color he was.
  17. There were no fats at Auschwitz
  18. Plenty of healthy or healthier meals you can make much cheaper than processed junk. Beans, rice, frozen veggies, chicken, ground beef, etc. There are entire subreddits dedicated to eating cheap and healthy and those meals cost a lot less than processed shit. My family was in the grocery business. You cannot imagine how much SNAP was spent on shit that provided no nutritional value and does not fill you up by poor people. Sugary drinks alone account for about 10% of all SNAP spending. I can afford to buy what I want. I can tell you I spend way, way less on food now that I eat healthier and cut out all drinks with any calories. Yes, if you want 100 percent organic with proteins from Central Market, it can be expensive. But some rice, chicken thighs, and frozen veggies you can buy at any store in the country will be a hell of a lot healthier and cheaper than processed bullshit. And water is free whereas your Mountain Dew costs about a buck a serving off the shelf.
  19. From ChatGTP Starvation mode, often described as the body slowing metabolism to conserve energy during severe calorie restriction, is partially real but overstated. When you drastically cut calories, your body can adapt by reducing metabolic rate slightly, primarily through lowered activity levels and loss of muscle mass, which burns fewer calories. Studies, like those from the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, show that prolonged underfeeding (e.g., 50% calorie reduction) can lower basal metabolic rate by 10-20%, but this is not a dramatic "shutdown" as pop culture suggests. Hormones like leptin and thyroid hormones also adjust to prioritize essential functions, which can make weight loss harder over time. However, the idea that short-term dieting or skipping meals triggers a survival mode that halts fat loss is a myth. Weight loss plateaus are more often due to water retention, reduced activity, or inaccurate calorie tracking. For most people, consistent moderate calorie deficits (15-20% below maintenance) don’t cause significant metabolic slowdown. Extreme starvation can lead to serious health issues, including organ damage, but that’s far beyond typical dieting scenarios. If you’re concerned about dieting effects, focus on sustainable deficits and adequate protein to preserve muscle.
  20. I run around with the River Oaks, HCC, and private school crowd due to where I live and where my kids go to school. Go to a Kinkaid, St. John's or Episcopal football game on Friday night in the Fall -- almost zero obesity among the parents or kids. Seriously, it's like stepping back in time and going back to the 1960s where there are almost no fat people. Or fat is carrying an extra 15 pounds. When I got to my wife's hometown in East Texas and go out to eat, I am shocked by how common really fat people are. I think it is because wealthy people tend to take care of themselves and being fat is a stigma. Healthy people who are not otherwise disabled are healthy because make healthy choices. They largely pass that down to their kids. Most of the dads who I am friends with are not trust funders with nothing but leisure time. They are business owners and professionals with very demanding careers. They still take the time to workout and they are careful with what the eat. This is what my grandparents and parents modeled for me. No one in my family is fat. It is easier for people with money largely because healthy habits are both modeled by their parents and are passed down. So in a sense you are right, it is much easier for privileged and wealthy people. Because they have proper examples.
  21. Just saw a DT from USF entered the portal. Very disruptive. Had 35 QB pressures and 10 TFLs last year. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/bernard-gooden-1.html
  22. Some people have varying base metabolisms. But calories in - calories out is an immutable law. People who claim to only eat 2000 calories a day and cannot lose weight are not consuming 2000 calories per day.
  23. Get a standup desk and walking pad (cost like $200). I am on mine right now. I walk for at least one hour before lunch and one after. Combined with other walks and jogging, I easily get around 20k steps per day. The walking pad is really good for avoiding being sedentary if you're busy and have an office job.
  24. What an incredible waste of talent. He should have had a star NFL career.
  25. Yep. People are thinking he's "young" because he's a sophomore. He will be 21 by game 1. He played in a very simple and QB friendly system last year. And he was not good. If he had been ranked a 3 star in high school, no one would think twice about him. I cannot imagine he will be very good at UCLA. But who knows. Bo Nix was just awful for several years and then transferred and became very good in that system. If I was getting a transfer portal QB (and really for any position), I would be looking more for someone who was good in college than a highly ranked recruit who was average in college. Same reason I would have not given any NIL money to David Stone.
