    The Secret World

    Every time this topic gets bumped I go back and play for a while. I left off after The Last Pagan so should be some good content to run through. The stuff they were doing with Tokyo was interesting to me. Also, the Nightmare mode dungeons were difficult, but once you got into running 24 /...

    Fattier foods could help on that front depending on what you count as high fiber. Veggies (green beans, zuchinni, peppers, onions, etc.) cooked in oil feel very filling for me. The fat content takes away the hunger and the bulk of veggies give you the 'full'. Avacados are amazing for feeling...

    Yeah, I suppose you are right. That is what looking a gift horse in the mouth looks like. Didn't really look at it from the perspective of never actually being able to acquire that gear, period.

    I have decided that the BRF / HM cache missions just need to give out some sort of currency to purchase what you want. Items can cost various amounts, etc. My BRF / HM caches on three different characters were all slots / items I already possessed. Yay, two more weeks.

    No, sorry. Those activity level values are what is required to maintain weight. I have been targeting 1900 - 2000/day at my custom level vs. the ~2400 needed to maintain. If I actually worked out at a 'high' activity level I would be around 2400 - 2500/day while cutting instead. However, I...

    Lunch time, here is the spreadsheet I was talking about. Weight Loss Estimator v0.5 This is a copy. I left my data in as an example. I use the Forecast page to keep myself accountable. Just needs weight, height, age, start date, start weight, start BF% and it will take it from there...

    Listened to JRE for quite a while. This podcast single handily kick-started my weight loss. Introduced me to Dave Asprey (I know I know) as well as just his general fitness schtick, BJJ, and wellness eventually makes you want to go work out and do better for yourself. Outside of that, good...

    This. So much this. I have gone from ~44% BF to ~12%. I can say one thing for certain, the closer and closer I get, the harder it is becoming mentally. It is a combination of little things that aren't even necessarily conscious. There are so many jerky things my mind tries to do... You...

    The Walking Dead

    I had assumed the stamp on the hand meant that the person was accounted for at the Mayor's party. That way when someone finds out guns or something else has been stolen they could isolate who the possible culprits were. Though, I kind of doubted that because of the scene with Carol. She is...

    This is great. I like the bike desk. All it takes is finding something you can do and stick with. I definitely feel your pain on not enjoying working out. Maybe think about an activity you like doing for the activity itself which is a workout anyway. I have been doing BJJ for one year now...

    In regards to blood, start doing things that net you Primal Spirit. 50 spirit = 1 blood. Daily trader turn in (except dust because that is expensive still), mining, herbing, missions, etc. Alchemists also get a daily transmute. The actual price of a single blood will most likely be lower...

    What are opinions on the 680 trinket for healers? I noticed 680 doesn't require Alchemy and is BoE so I was considering making one for my Paladin. The potion effect seems nice, but I feel like random spellpower increases for healers are obnoxious and consistency from other trinkets could be...

    On each of my characters I received a BRF mission within 10 seconds of 2 followers being ilvl 675. I literally was able to move over to the tab and watch it pop up.

    Yes, with this change I will most likely create two more crafted armors. Getting to 680 is about the best I can expect. I already crafted shoulders with the primal spirit turn ins (had around 800 spirits on my miner). That was totally worth it though as my only upgrades would have come from...

    Yeah, ruining all the hard work is a bit of an exaggeration. Due to Keto, my body sucks in water like it is going out of style if I break ketosis. That coupled with 5 or more lbs. of actual fat can easily push me up 10 - 15 lbs. in a short period. I put on around that much weight in the...

    I never thought I would see the day, but True Iron Ore/ Blackrock Ore / Frostweed supplies in the AH have been exhausted. Prices are through the roof. I may have to actually start mining / herbing in my garrisons again.

    Results from BRF / HM caches are in. 680 BRF chest which is at least itemized better and a warforged mastery / spirit ring from my Mythic. Could have been worse, could have been better. On the bright side, I am 'done' with rings for a while, but really that just means all my cache will start...

    Eh, not so much if you go with a group. Regular price is $100/hour and that can get around 5 folks done. I got a deal for $50/hour for 10 visits so it is only $10 for pretty much as long as I will care to use it. Only used 3 visits so far. Trying for around one per quarter.

    If anyone is in MN, the U of MN Rec Center is demoing an imaging unit that takes an avatar of your body and gets your measurements and such. I was in with my group to use the BodPod and they let us try out the other device just for fun. I think it was mainly novelty but it does give you an...

    Anecdotal story, friend had sleep apnea and went in for study. Woke himself up so many times per minute he was in the highest category. Got him a CPAP, he started sleeping well. Seemed worth it. Personally, my wife complained about my snoring. I then lost weight and my snoring went away...

    Care to share any interesting tidbits? I am always interested in improving my Pally game. My gear is actually getting decent enough that I need to be comfortable spending more mana as I end fights over 80% while still being top heals. So I guess I can be top...more. It is actually really...

    Largely because I don't want the responsibility. Secondly, because I don't have AOTC and am not 665+ (657) myself and I don't want to be that guy. Perhaps I will feel differently once I am left with only really needing Imp gear and / or next tier is on the way.

    On the other end of the spectrum, first week of normal PUGs and I got up to 6/10N. From the grouping with randoms category, anything that involves movement will quickly tell the quality of your PUG. Operator / Oregorger are really good benchmarks. I am not sure if I got lucky, but Hans /...

    Has anyone else been holding onto their crates for when BRF BoEs are available? I am up to around 200 sitting on a couple of dudes. I am trying to hold out so that if I get a BoE, I get one that may be worth money.

    I wish they would just give apexis crystals for spam running dungeons and then change scraps to be redeemable for armor / weapons in a similar fashion. Apexis gear isn't going to ever be the best, which would make raiders happy, and it would be on par with heroic raid gear potentially and make...

    If you want a bit more functionality, there is Splashtop. I switched over to that from VNC and I went from the situation you are describing to being able to do missions, daily garrison running around, and occasionally I fish and / or go be semi worthless on the apexis daily. It is paid though.
