    We've set up camp underwater. There's a glass walkway heading out from spawn. The pit is between where that walkway starts at the beach, and the walkway to the other house that's built on the water (with big farms underneath). It's about 4 units long, 1 unit wide, and 2 units high. And thanks...

    Thanks for the whitelisting earlier. While playing yesterday, I managed to fall into a 2-block high pit, right by spawn - and it's protected, so I can't build or knock myself out of it. Currently parked there, waiting for a monster to path by and kill me :-p (Also, we had an... incident...

    After suffering from severe fuckarounditis for several months, I have finally been able to put in some weeks of good work in the gym. Hit a new PR in bench last night (194lbs - not much, but it felt great!). Following a (very basic) Greyskull LP programme, and I'm enjoying the AMRAP sets...

    I am the same. I cope with difficult shit much better alone. During those times, I don't want the added stress of other people.

    I asked her about that. Why I didn't notice a change in the bedroom. Her answer was simple; "because I like sex" or something to that effect. And it wasn't callous or fucked up. It was a simple statement, and I can respect it in a weird way. We worked well in the bedroom - it was good.

    Oops, sorry. Height-wise, I'm guessing I'm about 67 little pebbles and 3 wooden branches tall, and weight-wise I've dropped approximately the weight of a fat cat, going from a decent sized tree root to the equivalent of about 90 ostrich eggs.

    We didn't marry until about 8 years into the relationship. And I never felt having a girlfriend restricted me in any way. I did all that crazy stuff, except sleep around. Booze, sleep, MMOs, school, etc.

    Yep, I think you are pretty much spot on. I'd much rather have a clean break, than a having the relationship die a prolonged, slow death. Similar to Onoes, I'm pretty friendly with my ex. We meet up for a coffee every now and then with the kids, and we can have amicable discussions. We haven't...

    I don't know for sure. It's been a while since I thought about it, but at the time this is the most likely scenario that I found: We met young. 18/19 y.o. I was fairly inexperienced, she was completely inexperienced. We grew close almost instantly. It was pretty much your story-book...

    Of course. After more than a decade together, there's a web of "somethings". But there were no big red flags. It ended because she stopped being attracted to me (and simultaneously became attracted to a colleague). Basically, relationships (romantic ones) start with mutual attraction - and end...

    What if I come in here and talk about it. My wife left me after 12 years of being my best friend, and lover. I had a great relationship. I looked forward to every day. We had children. One day, she told me she was no longer attracted to me. 6 hours later, she left. 5 years? That's nothing.

    Not really. I'd want to fuck a lady on an early date, but I wouldn't expect her to exclusively fuck me at that point. (I'd like it, but it is not something I expect - or wonder about)

    The way I see it: Our bodies and the systems for energy consumption, storage and utilisation were designed when we were still hunters and foragers. We ran around and tried to eat as much as possible. Since you couldn't store food well for longer periods of time, you ate what you caught on a...

    Calculators that look at waistline, neckline, height and weight put me at ~12-14%, but they are notorious for underestimating. I haven't had it measured, but my best guess it that I'm sitting at ~18-21%. Thanks for the reminder about fish oil. I keep forgetting!

    8 weeks into my diet now. Down from 96.5kg to 88kg (at 194cm). At this point, there's a a fair bit of fat left around the waist, but the rest of the body is slimmed down heavily. Almost too much, as I can see ribs poking out at the sides. The plan is to stick with it for another 6 weeks, until...

    RPEs make sense once you get used to the system. Most times, you end a 5RM set at RPE 9 or thereabouts. So when it says RPE9 4-6 reps, it basically means: Use the weight that you think you can safely do 5 reps with - 1 less on a bad day, 1 more on a good day. I started out doing Starting...

    5x5 is going to be tough with no carbs. Carbs fuel your muscle cells for extended set-rep-combinations. When I went low-carb, that's what I first noticed. My max lifts stayed the same, but I had to go from 3x5 to 1x5 on the top set. I'm using an RPT-type programming now, and it works. You...

    Recipe for getting in shape with weights for a beginner is so simple and proven. 1) Squats, deadlifts, bench- and OHP-presses with a barbell 2) Train 3 times each week, 50-70 minutes. Always squats, most days bench and OHP, some days deadlifts 3) Add on weights regularly, keep it in the 5x...

    How tall are you? I am 6'4'', and it just needs practice. And a good belt. Anything you can do to perfect form once, at any weight, you can repeat in perfect form for 5 reps at a higher weight - after practice.
