    Weight Loss Thread

    My numbers weren't off by 3000 calories, not if the fat loss was 3lbs. I did state "2-3 lbs" in my post, after all. I picked the high end, sue me. And there was nothing aggressive in my post that could have been remotely construed as an attack. I simply asked you if you felt that a fat loss of...

    Yeah, anyone who orders a steak cooked more than medium rare is a heathen in my opinion.

    Camping tents

    Yeah, having a huge tarp, enough ropes/bungees/ratchet straps, and someone willing/able to climb a tree or two can make even the shittiest weather bearable. I still remember a camping trip when I was 17 or 18 when we had a 50' x 50' tarp strung up 15 feet above our site. It rained for 3 days...

    Weight Loss Thread

    You dropped 2-3 pounds of fat in a week without starving yourself (assuming you're somewhere around 150-200lbs)? That's the equivalent of having a deficit of ~10,000 calories in a single week, or about 1,500 a day. Stop and ask yourself if you think that's realistic.

    Japan

    No idea on the holiday thing. Food wise, I found that just about everything there was awesome, as long as you stayed away from anything remotely westernized. Just eat at a bunch of ramen and sushi places. Gonpachi was kind of neat, but the food wasn't great in my...

    Buying a car?

    I haven't really looked at them lately, but I don't agree that they're less costly in terms of purchase price. When I was looking at buying a car in late 2008 it came down to either a 335xi or an S5. The S5 was 10k more expensive, if memory serves. Granted, it's not directly comparable to the...

    Camping tents

    Yeah, I've had decent luck with Coleman tents for car camping. As others have said, with car camping you're probably fine with pretty much any brand's tent, because you're probably not too concerned about weight and the like. If you're looking at backcountry tents, then this is a good place...

    Home Improvement

    Personally I fucking hated our Toro lawnmower and snowblower growing up. Fucking things were impossible to start and required a lot of repairs. My dad replaced them with Hondas in my mid teens and those things started like a dream, and worked for years without needing much of anything done to them.

    heh, just looked up Fleury's playoff stats, and they're fucking awful. Especially considering that he has won the Cup once, and made it to the finals another time. 2.72 GAA and .903 save percentage. Those are brutal numbers for a goalie on one of the best teams over the past 5 years. Luongo's by...

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    I don't see how it's the coach's fault really. Vancouver built a team around two soft players who wither in the playoffs. They have little or no scoring depth past the sisters and Kesler, and their D is extremely thin as well. I mean I agree that Vigneault is going to be fired because he's been...

    heh, Vancouver will be lucky to maintain things for much longer. The sisters aren't spring chickens, and Kesler is falling apart at the seams. They have very little young talent coming up. You can at least credit San Jose for being a very good team for 10+ years and making the playoffs the...

    Yeah, I've noticed some extreme slow downs with my Nexus 10 actually, to the point of being unresponsive. However I did a bit of Googling and found that there's some bugs with Google Currents fucking shit up in the background. I disabled it and haven't noticed any problems since. Never used...

    Japan

    I dunno, in my brief Japan trips it didn't seem any different than any other big city. Find the right area with good nightlife, and the local chicks like foreigners. Applies equally well to places in Europe, Canada, the US and so on. I'd say a week in Tokyo is probably a day or two longer than...

    heh, when my bud went from being a bartender to a manager at a local chain pub, he was told by the GM of the place that the one rule about sleeping with the servers was that you had to fuck them again in the morning, even if you were never going to talk to them again, just so that they felt...

    Only saw it once, but it looked way worse than the Gryba/Eller hit, although obviously the result wasn't nearly as bad. Who fucking knows? No suspension because he's in the same "eligible hitting zone" that Seabrook was? I don't fucking know anymore.

    The fucking worst is a rotten egg, because you often can't tell the yolk has gone over. I generally fry my eggs sunny side up, and dip my toast in the yolk. Nothing like taking a big bite of rotten egg on toast to start your day off right.

    I've pretty regularly tossed some chicken breasts on my Foreman grill that had been in the fridge past the best before date AND smelled fairly terrible. Can't really think of the last time I've gotten any sort of noticeable food poisoning. My digestive system is the boss.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    2 game suspension for Gryba is inconsistent bullshit. Rule #48 states that the hit is illegal if the head is the principal point of contact AND the head was targeted. Not either/or. Change the fucking rules then, because that hit was legal. Every single "hockey expert" on TSN, CBC, Sportsnet...

    I have a nearly 30 year old Weber (still have the receipt and manual my parents gave me when they handed it down, October 1987 baby) on my patio that has had basically zero maintenance or care, and it just keeps trucking along. I don't know if the sparker has ever been replaced, certainly not in...

    I thought a new 7 was coming out soon? I would imagine a new 10 is 6 months away, as the existing one has only been out for 5 months.

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    As far as the rules are concerned, yeah, more or less. And really there's no way to penalize/suspend for that kind of hit unless you're okay with eliminating virtually all body checking in the NHL. The head is going to be contacted on virtually any hit where one player is lower than the other...

    So what do you guys figure? Suspend Gryba for a clean but horrific hit? Or Diaz for making one of the most boneheaded passes I have seen in the playoffs? Seems like everyone TSN and CBC were pretty unanimous: clean hit, awful result. Craig Anderson was unreal last night. Price and Lundqvist...

    I agree with you that a lot of people are like that, but in this guy's particular case it looks like he was living in Dalian and making frequent trips to NK to feed orphans or some shit. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2...sentenced.html So his heart at least appeared to be in the right place.
