    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think you an snuff out the Freys that easily. Walder had shitloads of kids and each one of them had shitloads more. There's a -lot- of people with claims to the Frey throne.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I liked the season overall. I think we're officially completely out of book possible spoilers at this point, now that Sam has finally reached Oldtown and Jaime finished his siege at Riverrun. Aside from plotlines that probably go nowhere in the books (considering they didn't even appear and/or...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Even mostly unaugmented "keep" gear is enough for current stuff if you have remotely recent gear in the other slots with the occasional perception materia. I spent my late-evening getting a full set for my miner and botanist. Puts me without augmentation at 755 gathering/722 perception...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    CLoud has some emo stuff that is tied into his backstory (a lot of it comes out during the Lifestream sequence). Now Squall, that mofaka was a whiney bitch. Except all his whining was in his head and wasn't voiced acted. But talk about an emo-terrible protagonist. Vaan wasn't that whiney I...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I would imagine that a full set of scrip gear is plenty for current nodes, especially augmented with goblin dice. The requirements for the folklore nodes are like 600 gathering / 645 perception and then 720 gathering / 740 perception, I think. The ironworks stuff is effectively overkill at the...

    Fishing has one solid leve range during heavensward and that's the level 54 ones. You can catch all three types in the same area (though you need different bait for one) and as you can't even catch the level 56 leves until you are 58 to use goblin jig, it makes it a very no-brainer leveling...

    I -might- believe that it could be a thing with professionals who are constantly fluctuating on weight around a show schedule. But for non-pros (and why the shit would any pro be asking advice here of all places?) it's simply not a thing. Nobody on this forum is doing that type of competition...

    I see what you did there. If I disagree that you say I'm a contrarian, I'm proving your point. But if I agree, it means I'm concurring with your assessment that I am a contrarian. NOT FALLING FOR IT! An elliptical is technically better than walking from an impact/joint standpoint, so hey...

    You're in luck! The moogle quests they just added take the place in HS for the old Ehcatls(mostly) in that they are DoH related and give you xp for doing them. Other than that, leves and log like normal, as well as the daily hand ins at your Grand Company place. DoH/DoL also have an entire...

    Retarded homeopathic nonsense that medical science has completely debunked. Only idiots do it, really.

    Science is most definitely not agreeing with people who say they consume 1000 calories a day and aren't the size of a 6 year old and unable to lose weight.

    My Skyrim playthrough(singular, though over 120 hours) I don't think I engaged in melee combat more than a couple of times. Heavy Armor/Sneak/Archery and -of course- the ever broken Enchanting/Alchemy/Blacksmithing. It was really satisfying having the kill cam on sneak attack headshot snipes...

    I personally don't own a food scale, but I can measure just about every standard measurement within 5% or so from an eyeball perspective after spending over a decade working in and around kitchens. If you don't have that background? A food scale is only going to work out in your favor...

    mkopec is also very sedentary. It puts his rates into a much better framework if you take that into consideration. He doesn't lift or exercise on the regular (or maybe he does! My apologies if you changed recently mkopec) and his numbers directly reflect that. Even in full on post-fog...

    Homework time! Because honestly as much as I enjoy doing other people's research for them, it reeeeally behooves you to do it yourself so you get into the habit to do it instead of asking "How do I google how many calories are in various weights of specific food items?" I mean I'm positive...

    Drumsticks vary a lot in size. This is going back to the accuracy conversation again, really. A "drumstick" could mean 80 calories or it could mean 150. When you multiply by 5, that has a pretty significant impact.

    Yeah you get two free on each character and then you can pay 2 dollars for each additional retainer (for all characters on that account) up to a maximum of 6 additional. It's not a bad deal, as there's really no reason whatsoever to make an alt character outside simply wanting two have two...

    Anecdotal experience and all that, but even when people start tracking food, it's pretty common for them to fudge the shit out of their eating habits during the tracking period or to lowball their intake amounts. Like what is clearly almost 2 cups of rice would be entered as 1 cup, etc. So...

    Eh, JP wasn't an idiot blockbuster. It was a blockbuster, but each scene made sense from most standpoints as it progressed through them. ID, however, has some jarring "lawllogic" moments throughout, and they usually occur directly as plotpoints. ID4 was way more indicative of "summer action...

    I would prefer he stay away, so he doesn't end up as another Fedor or Spider and get beaten by guys who couldn't touch them in their heyday. I mean it would be interesting to see how he handles Bisping and/or McGregor, but guy hasn't fought in a couple of years, and not because he was injured.

    Nah, the CNS burnout doesn't have much to do with TRT, if you are indeed having CNS related issues. Sadly, as you get older, and especially if you train hard, you are just going to have to lengthen your recovery periods to a degree. If it isn't by and large muscle soreness/fatigue, the best...

    Dunno what your diet/supplement setup is like, but that sounds like you aren't giving yourself recovery time (or at least enough) and your diet might be tuned a little too tightly. If I remember right, you're also in your 40s. If you want to keep lifting heavy (though your squat seems low...
