  1. First time in a month with my trainer next wed, NOT excited. She’s going to whip my ass. Btw, she makes me push and pull the sled. 3 sets of each as one station of 3. Do 3 sets of multi stations in an hour if that makes sense. Rarely “enjoy” it.
  2. Aggy boycott in 3…2…1….
  3. Walking down the street in San Miguel you’d learn to look inside door openings. More than a few peers in you’d see mechanics in serious work mode with parts and tools strewn about. Normal enough except most doors open to impeccable gardens or artist studios or chicken grilling on a veritcal spit for cheap tacos. I’d have no issue going to one of those guys tho, shit any of them, mechanic, artist or taco master.
  4. Missed this ….

    Getting old sucks

    Here’s how I understand it. Magnesium does not exist alone it’s coupled with another molecule or compound until it reaches your digestion. Then it is decoupled and absorbed as a free ion ready to be used as needed - in over 300 reactions and processes in your body. From mood to muscle contraction, sleep to heart function and the list goes on and on. So when you take a magnesium L-theronate (for cognitive function and anxiety induced sleep depro) the two decouple in your gut and are absorbed but they very well may meet again as and when your brain needs magnesium (l-theronate is the molecule needed to cross the blood brain barrier). The other compounds serve similar purposes with a target at some related group of bodily and cellular functions. When you eat nuts, seeds, greens, etc and you consume magnesium, it is also bound to other compounds that may or may not be needed. The supplement route is simply a way to provide magnesium and connect it to the likely compound or molecule you need for a targeted function. tl;dr - there are like 8-10 magnesium supplements because over 300 cellular and bodily functions depend on magnesium and magnesium is a catalyst and never acts alone it’s always bound to something else (lots of something elses) depending on the function it is supporting.
  6. Begged my son to consider both. Wise for 17, still only 17. May force an app to be sure.

    LBGTQ

    Facts don’t matter. Pretty much time to give up, go back to living under rocks and in the closet, or move.
  8. I’d imagine like any school that’s regional the PNW. Seattle, Portland, possible into SF for some. But I have no data.
  9. Cannot underestimate Wingo scores early on a massive play if he’s not tackled by the shoe (no pun intended).
  10. kidding aside good call.
  11. I’m not sure Texas beats Ohio state with Arch - coulda happened. And if R Wingo isn’t shoe string tackled and the defense and PK didn’t stroke out the last play of the first half Texas wins with Quinn. Texas wins it all with those two play reversals imo. Same with year before one lazy route and throw at the end of the Wash game from a great matchup with Michigan. Arch gets the ball against those teams you can’t assume he plays like he did against Miss State. His upside is HUGE but the experience differential last year was huge as well. I think it’s the evolution of the program from out right losers, to kinda winners, to winners almost all of the time, to on the doorstep of championships, and next up is conference and national titles. Lots of ifs and buts so who the fuck knows. Oh wait. SURLY KNOWS!
  12. I woulda said “nice troll attempt fellas. Texas Fight!”
  13. And done (made it over 60 hours decided getting to 72 wasn’t going to happen due to more fatigue than I care to endure). Slept a lot yesterday, this morning I ate watermelon then a spoonful of peanut butter and 45 minutes later scrambled eggs cooked in avocado oil. I’ll figure out another snack then I think I’m going to mainline fajitas for lunch. Fucking A bring it. Autophagy peaks at/after 48 hours so hopefully my body did a good job cleaning up and recycling the bad parts. Onward and upward.
  14. My fault but I mean CAP ain’t really in. And fuck those hoes in the got in UT thread, kidding. sort of.
  15. Day two of a 72 hour water only (salt added) fast. I don’t mind doing them, second one this year, goal is 3-4 per year in perpetuity. First 24 hours are depletion of glycogen and converting to ketones. Middle 24 hours includes deconstruction and recycling of damaged cells including worn out white blood cells and other immune system warriors. Last 24 hours is the time precancerous cells are targeted (often because they are metabolically stressed (heavy glucose users and fragile and unable to adapt to ketones etc for energy) and they get tagged for recycled parts. Stem cells start to activate to replenish gut lining (huge) and immune system (immune system is initially decreased as damaged white blood cells and others are also recycled for spare parts). HGH and BDNF are surging and all the good shit I want is ongoing. And my appetite is decreasing and almost non-existent. And all I can think about is my life is on pause and I just want to eat (emotional satisfaction and the ritual of celebrating meals)
  16. I was a complete fuck up and did the ACC for 24 credits over 2 years and got the transfer back when it was automatic with a 3.5 and 24 hours. I love the back door. but then I put it into gear and finished with a 3.82 and then 13th in my law school class. Fuck you Ms Helm (8th grade math teacher) and Prof whatever your name was for contracts (high A both semesters).
  17. We will have an army on that one. Once had to have and I mean HAD TO HAVE reservations to The French Laundry in a specific 3 day window and we had 4 people dialing landlines and cells simultaneously. We got it, actually I got it.
  18. ChatGPT told us about how hard the timing is on UTSA. Didn’t know about the course load cadence but we have looked at the course selection and we can make it work even with 27 hours of credit coming out of HS.
  19. His other schools he’s looking at all have marching bands too except one - CU, Oregon, Washington, Cal, UCLA, UCSB. He’s dropping Michigan and Georgia. We wanted to add Arky but I can’t. He didn’t want to add Tenn. Fla never caught his interest. no interest in the east coast at all. UTSA is his absolute fail safe. He’s mindful of cost and probably won’t go to a CA school, and is thinking CU and Oregon are likely.
  20. He plays trumpet. He will keep at it, in fact depending on whether UTSA will let CAP students (if he gets it and can make it to UTSA) in their marching band then he’s def doing that. he’s considering a double major already, I’ll push the music major across to him as well. He made first of four bands in his high school as a sophomore but he’s not in the top of the first band even as a senior mostly because he’s a well rounded kid and half the band year he’s got white gloves on and his trumpet is collecting dust.
  21. This thread could be a top 5 thread on this board. Look inflation and tariffs are inherently political, and politics is sometimes news. I fucking hate Trump and am a flaming unicorn liberal. Hey girl hey! but I can leave partisanship alone while still discussing the merits - including criticism of political / fiscal policy on a thread like this because I want to make money. I actually think most can’t leave it alone - both those who scream Trump is a moran and those that complain, but he said the T word!!? most on either side can’t act like adults. It fucking sucks. Take that for #bothsides
  22. Correct on 1 dead ass wrong on 2 so you’re in the right place
  23. I (and the people who love me) take vehement exception to #2
  24. This whole don’t tell them you’re from Texas was a non issue for us, everyone wants to have the “easy on the eyes” laid back lezzies at their table, restaurant, bar, town whatever. Not sure what we are going to do in our 60s, probably just fish with the 70 year old men I guess. here’s how our time in Colorado often goes.. him: where you ladies from? us: Austin, Texas. him: Oh I hear Austin is lots of fun. us: It can be if you know the right people. him: I’m guessing you two are the right people. us: We think so. [we look at each other like we want to kiss one another]. him: Let me buy you ladies a drink. us: Ok if you insist. To be fair sometimes it’s out of towners too but we talk to plenty of locals as well.
  25. Gattis buffet for weekday lunch, players for games days, taco cabana for drunken weekend nights and TCBY for date nights. That corner got so much of my first credit card spending spree, such good memories. Sigh.
