Looks like the Chinese Government got to the OP and censored all his posts.

I validated it for you.

I'm not really sure how much I'll enjoy it, so I'm going to pick up one of the Mr. Beer refill kits and keep it simple to start. If it turns out that I enjoy it then I'll be willing to spend more money and go a bit more in-depth.

I have to disagree with the bolded part. There's nothing wrong with a simple full body routine for the beginning of losing weight. All he needs to do is maintain whatever muscle he already has, and 1 workout per major body part is perfectly fine for accomplishing that. Especially when focusing...

I hate that shit at gas stations. You're driving and you see a great price on gas, and it's not until you pull into the station that you notice the tiny "cash only price" written under it.

Thanks for the information. That's exactly what I was looking for: a short, simple explaination of the steps involved.

I'll preface this post by saying it's going to make me sound really stupid, but I tend to trust information from the people here so I figure this is a good place to ask. Google has been somewhat helpful to at least understand various terms (for example, PMI as discussed earlier in this thread)...

Nasty 70s-era beards seem to be coming back into fashion. Of all the 20-somethings I know, I'm the only one without a beard. Between that and those retarded, enormous "Beats by Dre" headphones I feel like this decade has become some horrible bastard offspring of the 70s and 80s.

Those are trapezoids, bro, do you even lift?!

They really upped the gore this season, which is pretty incredible considering it was already one of the most violent TV shows I've ever seen. Good stuff, though. Gannicus is still my favorite character. When he dies, I hope it's after a binge of wine and women and surrounded by dead Romans.

There are too many "normal" people on it. Danielle, Celeste, Moogega, Brandon, Ivan...I wouldn't consider any of them stereotypical "nerds". It seems like this show equates intelligence and/or playing video games with being nerdy, but that's hardly the case nowadays. The only real "nerds" in...

Pam has turned into a fat, mustachioed, bitchy hagbeast and Jim deserves better. Let her fuck Brian so Darryl and Jim can become roommates in Philly and we can get a spinoff of their wacky escapades in the big city with tons of athlete cameos.

I agree, these tend to be the funniest moments of every episode for me. His little predator monologue was hilarious, I about lost it when he started talking to himself about the entmoot.

Pam's gonna fuck Brian.

Good for him, but stone is the most retarded unit of measurement ever.

Yeah I lifted, but I only took a few sips from the water fountain between weighings. So I don't know where the extra water weight could have come from.

Haha, well yes, I'm agreeing with you. The fact that they need an act of congress to get out of paying for these ridiculous benefits is one of the big reasons the USPS is in trouble. I never said they paid excellent wages. Hell, even after 30+ years in the USPS my relatives aren't making...

Yep this is the best way to do it, and it's how I have been doing it for almost the past year. It's amazing how much your weight can fluctuate over even small periods. I weighed myself once immediately after waking up and taking a piss and took a note of the number. Then I skipped breakfast...

Thanks for the information guys. Since it looks like I'll have to buy a refill kit, any recommendations? I was looking over the official Mr. Beer refills kits and it seems like the only difference is the style of beer you want to make. Are there any 3rd party/other brands refills I could buy...

I think it's a combination of both. The fact that the USPS can't be nimble enough to adapt to a changing marketplace is certainly a big reason it is failing. UPS and FedEx are able to keep pace with how people ship packages and send letters nowadays, while the USPS seems like it's stuck in a...

It's pretty rough

I just found an old Mr. Beer Home Brewing Kit in my attic. It was unopened, but it's been there for at least 7 years. Would the 90 degree summers and freezing winters combined with the long time mean I'll die if I use the ingredients it came packaged with?

Sounds about right. I talked to my dad (postal service worker) just after making my last post and he said that yeah, new people joining the postal service now are pretty much getting fucked because of the incredibly sweet deals the old timers got. Like you said, benefits don't kick in until...

I love me some mafia. I got into it when I was studying/working in the ex-USSR. It's insanely popular over there, with restaurants and bars hosting "mafia parties". It's especially fun when alcohol is involved. When I played it was generally kept pretty simple. I think the most roles we ever...

I have to admit, the one redeeming part of this soul-sucking government proposal development business is that teleworking is extremely common. As soon as I see a single snowflake fall this afternoon I'm going to work from home. Fuck driving home in rush hour with the plebs.

Well, my dwarfs are off to a blistering start! 3 knock outs, and 2 injuries. I DIDNT KNOW DWARFS WERE MADE OF GLASS

I wouldn't bother trying to make sense of anything. Fat loss/muscle growth can seem so random and weird sometimes. This is one reason I try not to focus on the scale and don't bother with measurements. I just go by how I look in the mirror and how my clothes fit. In addition to the eggs and...

Those are the same people who back up traffic on perfectly normal days because they slow down to 35mph every time the beltway has a slight turn.

Random snow in DC. Wonderful. I thought it wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow evening, but apparently they're still calling for that? HOLY SHIT A HALF INCH OF SNOW EVERYONE ON 95 DRIVE 10MPH AND STILL MANAGE TO GET INTO ACCIDENTS AND FUCK UP EVERYONE'S DAY!!! Plus, I spent 2 years...

About 20 years ago my aunt used to bitch at a guy who started working in her department (they were coworkers, she wasn't his superior) about being lazy, talking too much, etc. Fast forward to this year and he's now her boss and her work environment has become so unbearable that she's pretty...

I'm in EST, but it shouldn't be a problem because I'm generally up and on the PC/Steam until around 12 EST most nights.

I have to admit, being a fan of lizards I'm not really looking forward to playing against them. Although I'm feeling good about facing them so early before any of them pick up useful skills.

I was trying to get a hold of Oblio last night. I'll try again tonight. I'm not sure how busy I'll be on the weekend so I'd like to do the match sooner rather than later. Help me Oblio-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

I always thought the prince on the Apple II art was the spitting image of Cory Feldman.

Pretty sure Jack Bauer already did this.

Yes I see now that it is a direct ripoff of The Voice. Nonetheless, they could have showed some of the prep during these intial stages. The entire 2 hours was just a rapid fire series of 5 - 10 seconds of food being mixed together and several minutes of the judges talking. I'd have preferred...

I second this advice. Move out there, rent a place and see what happens. Worst case scenario the relationship fizzles out, but at least you get several months of job experience to put on the resume. Just don't do anything that would tie you to that area longterm until you are sure about the...

Seems kind of stupid...it's too focused on people. Are they ever planning on showing the actual food preparation? That's the part of cooking shows I enjoy. I don't give a shit about the judges or contestants.

If you're not already doing it, I would recommend you use a website like fitday to keep an accurate count of calories for everything you're eating (assuming your goal is weight loss). Stuff like "Dinner - Anything, usually cooked at home and somewhat healthy" can still amount to an enormous...

Healthy eating is damn expensive. I decided to make some homemade apple sauce, and a $5 bag of apples got me about two-to-three meals worth of apple sauce. I can buy a week's worth for less than that if I go the processed route from the supermarket. I opted for the cheapest apples too.
