Right, because those don't have any carbs. Also, I guarantee I'd gain weight on that diet without portion control because I'm a natural hog who is optimized to stock up for the long, lean winter that's coming any year now.

So by "eat clean" you mean keto?

Your body needs carbs. Carbs were less than 20% of my intake.

This is definitely untrue. When I was in my jiu jitsu competition phase I tried the "just eat clean" thing and managed to gain weight working out six days a week and eating a diet that was 90% brown rice, chicken, and broccoli. Counting calories is the only thing that works for me.

Whoever convinced women that leggings, yoga pants, and related shorts were actually symbols of empowerment and suitable for the public deserves a Nobel Prize.

I'm fine with that if it happens. I missed most of the 2020 chasm by trying to time the bottom too perfectly. If/when we recover I'm going to be up something like 10% over having done the "correct" long-term thing and stayed the course, and that's plenty enough for me. "Don't let the perfect be...

Oof, ugly few days here. I've looked between the couch cushions for everything I can scrounge up and am as invested as I'm going to get. Time to turn off the news and check back in six months.

Make a lower shelf between the two benches that's deeper than what you need for the miter saw, then make shims, wooden risers, or a simple frame for it to sit on that lifts your saw to exactly the necessary height. Then when you get a new saw or want to put another tool there you just make new...

Spacers, fully supported, and give them a few weeks in the same environment as the furniture will sit. Waiting longer might allow the boards to warp but your completed project will (probably) warp less. I did my first few shop furniture projects with green construction lumber, and holy shit the...

I'm not sure it's the ref's job to save the fighter from being a fuckwit, but oh man, was that guy a fuckwit.

Wisdom for the ages.

Rest easy; that 7% figure is net of inflation. http://www.simplestockinvesting.com/SP500-historical-real-total-returns.htm

Same goes for a lot of business leadership. Hyper-focus on near term growth and market cap/stock price metrics does not necessarily select for durable and long-term profitable businesses. I see TOOOONS of under-investment, maintenance deferral, and general can-kicking in the industries I consult...

I went to business school. I distinctly recall the zero sum grades, no rules competitive negotiation class but must have missed the session on "always do the right and/or legal thing even when you don't think you'll get caught". Plus the guy I caught cheating in the class I TA'd and for realz...

The Maker's Mob (conglomerate of YouTube woodworking personalities) is having a $0.99 sale. I did this last summer and downloaded all the plans that interested me. Good deal if you're stingy. https://go.themakersmob.com/99-cent-sale-tsc/

I like ONE's product. They have solid grappling matches in addition to MMA. I'll definitely watch some of this.

Title sounds goofy, but it's surprisingly better than you'd expect.

We used to can fruits and jellies growing up, always boiled after canning. Anything exposed to air has to be boiled or you run the risk of botulism. Doubly so if what you're canning isn't acidic.

I've had great experiences with all inclusive packages in Cancun and Cabo San Lucas. They're a little more middle class than the locations you listed, but they cost less than half as much and if you pick the resort carefully you can still get some really excellent food. I'm too old and don't...

I used a Steam Controller for a while and had a setup that I rather quite liked for FPS games, essentially using the pad as a software trackball instead of joystick. After a bit of fiddling I could reliably hit 180 snap turns and other maneuvers generally not possible on a joystick. I have no...

Tried this for a bit. It's was shockingly easy to get started even with 40 years of QWERTY muscle memory. I might give it a serious go.

Jesus christ. Give a medal to the guys who designed that fire-retardant suit. Video makes it seem like longer, but even the actual 20 seconds he spent in that inferno is insane. Not a video, but hopefully you can forgive for context...

I'm not talking about the deal being contingent on the buyer selling their home. I'm talking about closing immediately and the seller leasing the property back from the now-owner at a small premium in order to have time to pack and move.

These days it's also very common to structure a 1-2 month seller lease-back to give them time to move.

Yup. Fuck North Dakota. All they get is Amtrak.

The Japanese do not fuck around when it comes to Doing Things the Right Way, both out of necessity and as a general cultural proclivity. This hospital survived without even a broken window at the epicenter of a 9.0 quake because the entire structure is mounted on a bed of enormous springs:

My wife is 42 and still sometimes gets asked what college she goes to. Memes are real.

Good. Poor Chinese are straightforward, hardworking people. Rich Chinese are hung up on wealth/status to the point of insanity.

Similar experience with my dragon lady. It was SO refreshing to have zero games, zero drama, no "I deserve to be treated like a princess and I'm going to test you", no Instagram standards, etc, etc. Just "I like you, you like me, let's be grown ups and see if it works". Plus the immigrant...

Friend of mine is a hunter and landed a wild ram. Roasted the thing whole. Now-wife and I were dating, in front of 30 people at the BBQ she squeals, "Ooh! I love mutton!", then grabs a fork, skewers the eye (which is about the size of a plum), and bites into it with an audible popping noise...

When eating seafood she chews up shrimp and crab in the shell and spits out the bits. Source: Married to (different) dragon lady.

They're lucky they're cute, otherwise filicide would be much more popular.

No, I'm on the pinnacle of Mt. Liberal Shithole. (Before anyone asks, I'm here so my kids can grow up near family.)

Los Angeles

Destructive, perhaps not, but financially unstable, yes. A guy down the street from me just got evicted from a 4/3 in an upscale LA neighborhood going for $4k+. Obviously that landlord should have been more careful, but there are enough mediocre prospects out there that with my 800+ credit that...

I'm having trouble caring about either of them.

I don't have hard numbers, but from paying background attention to the rental market prices haven't gone up that much. Maybe 20 or 25 percent since I got here in 2014? 30 at the outside? That's about 3-3.5 percent a year. The thing is, even moreso than the purchase price of houses, which can be...
