I accidentally discovered this show recently and I've been trying to catch up. I'm halfway through season 2 now. How is this show not more popular? It seems like no one talks about it! I swear to god, the noodle analogy, especially the end, had me laughing out loud more than anything has made...

Half the fun (for me) of cooking is going out and buying the ingredients; whether it's just to the grocery store or you make the extra effort to hit a farmer's market, picking your ingredients is a very enjoyable part of the process. I wouldn't want to be hand delivered the exact amounts of the...

I have a bad tendency to lean too far back. I've had some very, very close calls where I start to topple backward due to leaning too far back, but fortunately I've always managed to course-correct and regain balance.

I summarized Wrathcaster's long post in case anyone doesn't want to read the whole thing.

It sounds like you're judging healthiness based on size, which is a horrible way to judge it. Just because a meal is "hearty" doesn't mean it's a calorie bomb or incredibly unhealthy. Like Itlan said, your dinners sound pretty reasonable. Oven baked chicken and rice is a perfectly sensible...

I'd say in addition to some kind of moderate exercise you should figure out exactly what you're putting into your body. You said "normal lunch" and "hearty dinner," but what do those mean? Spend some time using a site like Myfitnesspal to track everything you eat. It's not something you need to...

I've had butternut squash ravioli before and they were really tasty. My pelmini were stuffed with ground turkey and onion. I'm going to try making some stuffed with pizza next weekend, hopefully.

This game taught me that everywhere in the world looks exactly the fucking same.

I believe that was Antarius? And if I remember correctly, he's basically living "Pushing Tin" in real life.

Did you roll, stuff, and seal each one by hand? I recently made some pelmeni (although they look more like vareniki, see the spoilered pic), and I ended up rolling out and stuffing nearly 60 of them by hand. It took forever, but it was totally worth it because they were delicious. I ended up...

Tuco would just bring him back after a week.

This show needs more England. Eckbert has become the most interesting character on the show, and the vikings are boring and predictable. *Edit* And holy shit I just realized that King Horick was the dad on Grounded for Life.

God, I hope it doesn't get picked up. The acting was terrible, the plot was boring, and the cliffhanger was stupid as fuck. I think this was the first episode of 'Supernatural' I've seen that I genuinely disliked. Every scene without Sam and Dean was just complete and utter garbage from start to...

That's impressive. From what staring weight to what current weight? Was it all through diet or did you work out as well?

Even if Sara dies, she'll still most likely be featured heavily in the flash backs.

This episode gave me blue balls.

How much of a calorie deficit have you been eating at? You mentioned thinking that your calorie deficit lowered your immune system and indirectly caused the shingles, but I can't believe that a small-to-moderate calorie deficit would have that much of an effect on a person's immune system.

Yeah but don't you have the 'drinking garlic butter' addiction? Anyway, after going through the donuts and potato salad I became disgusted with myself. I'm bringing the rest into the office today to let the herd of fatties graze on it.

Well, I'm already halfway through the donuts so I might as well continue and finish the rest off. I don't believe that food addiction is a real 'thing,' but damn if I don't have some kind of binge eating problem.

This might make me sound like an idiot, but how do I know if I have a mechanical keyboard? I'm using some second-hand keyboard I can't even remember where I got it, and I'm curious.

This is awesome. I absolutely loved the English version. Not only were Penn and Teller great, but the magicians they had on there performed some of the coolest and most entertaining magic tricks I've ever seen.

I've always hated Betty, but holy shit did I want to just smack the ever loving shit out of her. "Why don't my kids love me?" they love you just fine until you turn into queen colossal cunt and whine and pout like a butthurt video games forum moderator.

To be fair, I doubt the internet in Africa can handle more than 240p so it seems like a logical default.

So I've been doing really well in terms of my diet and I haven't binged in quite a while. However, one of the night classes I teach finished this evening and we had a little party with lots of treats. Unfortunately, hardly any of the food got eaten, so I'm taking home with me 2 bags of potato...

I think you've got AIDS.

I heard this guy's only exercise consists of fucking She-Ra (like 6 hours a day), but he is obviously a freak of nature and I know a lot of people don't believe him.

Yeah but you're a GM crafter. Hell, you probably smithed your own barbell and weights, too.

I can't believe people are taking Khane's post seriously. He was joking, brosefs.

Those look a lot better than Boardwalk Fries. Our fries were just poured out of giant, toddler-sized bags of frozen fries into the fryer. All we did was sprinkle the premade seasoning on them.

French fry stories!!! In high school I worked at an outdoor music venue at the Boardwalk Fries cart. During intermission we'd be slammed, but for the other several hours I'd just stand there all by my lonesome and eat a constant stream of delicious Boardwalk fries. It was wonderful. However...

I think you just discovered the recipe for immortality. If only Wizardhawk had known!

No, I said you need to have good internal health as well; i.e., good blood pressure, no problems with cholesterol, etc. That's a big part of it. I also don't think that some arbitrary fitness test like running a marathon is a good measure of someone's health. I'm in great shape (both in terms...

It's a fact that almost everything is better with ketchup. I was reading about all the elitist meatloaves people in the elitist cooking thread have been discussing lately, and all I could think about was how much better they'd taste with some good ol' Heinz ketchup. When I was growing up, a...

A real American would drown the hotdog in ketchup.

I define "in shape" as having an overall healthy body, which includes not being grossly overweight, underweight, having some moderate muscle mass, and good internal health. Exercise helps to a point, but if you're still pounding horribly unhealthy foods and destroying your body internally, I...

Diet is the key to getting in shape. It doesn't matter how much jogging you do or how many push ups and sit ups you do if you're eating thousands of calories over your maintenance every day. That's why you constantly see out of shape people in the gym day in and day out; they "work out" and then...

Maybe it's a regional thing? I changed gyms a few months ago and walked through 5 different ones in my area, and only one even had a set of kettlebells. That's the gym I ended up joining and so far I've only seen them sitting and gathering dust; hardly anyone uses them and there are no classes...

Kettlebells are awesome because you can do some great full body compound exercises with them. I wouldn't use them for body building, but like Celebrindal said, they're pretty cool for building functional strength (i.e., the kind of strength you'd need to get through some kind of obstacle course...

Every time I see one of his posts I think of this guy, and read it in his voice (especially since he just kind of pops up in threads and provides unsolicited input):

Were the performers at the Unity Concert actual musicians? I didn't recognize any of them.
