    Watch Valley Uprising, it gives you a lot of the history of Yosemite and talks to climbers from several eras. From a sheer climbing/Yosemite standpoint, it was a better movie than both. Watching Dean Potter progress through his various level of crazy stuff was interesting especially since it had to be done right before he died.

    Really liked Valley Uprising. It's something I would never think of. The aspect of the climbers that basically call that place their home, or at least home away from home, sharing it with the average tourist. Cool perspective on that part of it. 

    Also watched the others mentioned. Free Solo, Dawn Wall, Valley, Meru. I have never climbed and am way too big of a pussy to ever attempt it, but I could watch these shows all day I think. 

    Maybe I got spoiled because these 4 are the first and only ones I've watched, but are there any recommendations on other climbing shows like this? Or kind of like this?

    1MM in one savings account is about the dumbest thing you can do with it. Only a quarter of it is insured. At least put 250k in accounts at 4 banks. 

    Wondered that myself. I thought it was 100K insured back in the day, but didn't know what it was now. 

  3. Kinda curious about this because I don't know jack shit about money. My buddy's dad died a couple years ago and left my buddy's mom around a million liquid. I have wondered why he hasn't talked to a financial person because she just put it in her savings account at the local bank. 

    No debt, house is paid for, a simple, small town life with no desire to spend money on anything besides gifts for her 1 grandkid. Isn't she really just throwing money away instead of putting into some low risk investment? What that is, I wouldn't have a clue, but it seems like it could be making her a little more than a savings account, without much, if any risk. 

    I'm not going to stick my nose in someone else's business, but it seems really dumb to me. Then again, I ain't two bright myself.

    She's not in much, it appears. Had a tv role in the Gianni Versace series and now this, and has done five movie roles since OITNB began. The only one of them I saw was Joy, with Jennifer Lawrence.

    Yeah, I was thinking of a different girl and they don't even look much alike. But my brain has inept face recognition software.

    Heading toward being in great shape too at 41. Down to 217 from 240 in Jan.

    Been a week on the shakes and snacks. The wife and I really like it. It has taken the guess work out of portions and over eating.

    Keep up the good work folks.

    Which shakes and snacks? Good work, by the way.

    I'm 42 and just finished up week 8 and am down from 220 to 200. Scale dipped down to 198 one day, so that was nice to see for the first time under 2 bills in a year or so. 

    I feel great and will keep doing this keto thing. Really is a different kind of physical feeling than I've had in a long time.

    Jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree.

    This girl kinda makes my tallywacker wilt, but where did she come from? Seems like she's a female Samuel l Jackson now. Not the black thing, ya know, the being in everything thing.

    $240 is a bit much for an SKX, especially considering Massdrop's pretenses of cheaper prices through bulk orders. 

     

    Glad you chimed in. I didn't know if it was a good deal or not. Just seemed to fit his wants somewhat.

    I've only bought 2 watches on massdrop and I did some pricing first. It was a good deal on the particular 2 I got.

    Hey guys I love the idea of this watch for a pool/boat/beach watch but I wish it was automatic instead of quartz. Any suggestions for an automatic equivalent? Or bite the bullet and go with quartz? 94d76f51bb17e67cde5b06ec6096fb5d.jpg

    Went to a wedding this weekend and had to take the dogs along last minute.  Found out Biff does not do well in hotels by himself.  Apparently he barked for 3 straight hours while we were at rehearsal dinner.  Wife skipped the actual wedding to avoid any more complaints.  We got him some CBD treats that apparently helped, but I think we can say that's the last time he gets left alone in a hotel.  Dammit.

    Had a lab that was the same way. Luckily I didn't find out the hard way like you and only had to leave him alone for a few minutes.

  10. I'm about done with week 5 with no cheats. I ordered a pizza last night and just scraped off the topping. Hardest fucking thing I have ever put myself through. It tasted amazing, but holeee sheeet was it difficult looking at that crust. 

    But, I did it and I'm down about 12 pounds just short of 6 weeks, so I'm liking that progress. Slow and steady.

    Any nose-up force can be counteracted with elevator, which is what they did, to the tune of 49 degrees downward.  Someone wanting to end it all wouldn't stop to consider that max power might bring up the nose a little...they would just think about getting it over as soon as possible.  Flight control malfunction (like AS261) is possible, but less likely a scenario, since they added max power.  Onboard fire or bomb possible, but no communication to ATC that they had a fire warning, and no outward evidence of either in the video.  Shifting cargo unlikely since they had normal pallets/containers and not large vehicles, etc.  Also, a massive shift would have most likely stalled the plane.

    So best bet is a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit?

  12. Watched The Lobster last night and thought it was funny as hell. Super quirky, good writing and amazing timing between the cast. Really well done.

    Colin Farrell quietly became a good actor over the years. I used to think he was terrible.

    Today is 30 days for me. It has been a long 30 days. I am thankful of the support and can’t say enough how helpful the meetings can be when having a hard time. I even started reading the big book. Not yet ready for a sponsor but so happy to be another day sober. 

    I had a lot of negative perceptions of AA until I went to meetings. I’d highly suggest anyone even considering it just go and listen a few times  

     

    Keep it up, man and good work. 30 days is something to be proud of.

    5 episodes in now and the entire show just never clicked for me... the story, the humor, the intrigue, the quirkiness, the sympathy/relatability, etc... nothing.  I have to finish it because I've started, but its all a bit of a mess

    Same here. After 5 episodes too. I'll probably finish as well.

    Long-Term Keto checking in. . .

    So I started running about 2 months ago.  I'm 46, and have NEVER been much of a runner.  The idea started when my 21 year old son started regularly running marathons every few months. Granted, it's part of his job for Army/ROTC/Aggie but the thought entered my mind that even if I never run a marathon, I should be good for 5 or 10K events.  I'm using the 10K app to plan my runs.

    I'm 1 month shy of being 4 years lazy keto/lazy keto, and I'm getting carb cravings like crazy, at the weirdest times.  What used to be a cheat meal every week or so is now every other day.  I'm up about 8 lbs but still barely under 200.  I'll do really well for a few days and then have a moment of weakness and eat a pint of halo top.

    The other day I was walking through the breakroom here at the office and stopped and stared at a candy bar in the vending machine for a good 30 seconds.

    I know what happens to me when I stop being mindful of how I fuel my body.  And Keto (or even lazy low carb) is very sustainable over the years as I've proven.

     

    Bear, do you still feel a lot better staying on the keto that long? I feel great and I'm losing weight, but I'm wondering if the "lazy keto" thing would be better for me because I really can't and don't want to count everything I'm eating. I'd rather just have a good idea of what I can and can't get away with and not worry too much about staying perfect.

    not sure if serious.  what makes you say that?  she had the patience of job if you ask me.  i dont think many women would tolerate his personality disorders, not to mention his death wish/career choice, or the fact he lives in a van.  he doesn't hug, he doesn't say i love you.   she was a saint imho.

    Perhaps. If she didn't have a clear agenda of being a part of his fame. I'm on the she's a cunt team. And annoying as all hell. Cute as hell too, though.
