    Home Improvement

    Is this a one time project, or are you going to be doing more in your home? Could be worth investing in something for future projects, if it saves time and hassle down the road. I've made the mistake in the past of doing one job and cheaping out because I didn't think I'd be doing another like...

    Any point in which your body is putting in effort to prompt a change. Obviously, you don't run until you pass out. But, if it's easy, nothing changes (same is true for a lot of things, like emotional growth too). Overweight people need to prioritize cardio. Yes, lifting weights will definitely...

    Generalizing, maybe. But, not wrong. Ever look at a crowd of long distance and marathon runners? Bean poles. Hard cardio DOES eat at muscle long term, if that's all you're doing. Gotta find that balance, as in all things. I absolutely have to do cardio to help cut and keep fat off. But, even...

    Shit Ryoz, that's fast. Are you in a hot market, or do you think it was just "right place, right time"?

    Yup, but the right kind of calories. Best part of this whole discussion, however, is that we're all here to help each other. No homo.

    Activity level, age, and metabolism play a big part in that, however. During my cut months I'll drop to about 2,300-2,400 calories. During bulk, I'll eat almost 3,500 calories. I'm 6' and 185. Everyone is different. Brahma has to just find that sweet spot for him, which could take time and...

    You are going to have to suffer through some hunger to lose weight, you know. You're trying to run a calorie deficit so that, coupled with physical activity, you body consumes some fat reserves. It's going to be a matter of finding the balance between a little hundry and "I wanna fuckin' die...

    Stop eating red meat for now. Stop eating bacon. If you're eating chicken, is it frozen, processed, or fresh? That matters. I'd cut out the soda - even diet - but that's just me. And I know you don't want to hear it, but cardio, not lifting, will help you drop weight. HOWEVER, weight is not...

    That's a pretty clever way to do it. I agree, that you're going to have a much clearer view and if you're able to avoid long term maintenance and replacement, all the better. Only ever seen that sort of thing in modern architecture and commercial (resorts, spas) buildings. Often with something...

    Stargate Reboot

    Since copying other's work is a whole lot easier than making something unique, I'm sure this will be a reboot and not something original (hi2u Ghostbusters).

    Did you do that instead of railings to have something visually different, or are you going to integrate some kind of hanging flower/vine?

    This is work related. So I built a case for a client today. His name: Thai Tran. When my agent told me the name on the phone today I had to mute it immediately because I started laughing so hard my hernia hurt. Half my staff popped their heads into my office to see WTF was wrong with me...

    The two injuries aren't related, thankfully. The shoulder has slowly been getting worse over the last decade. The hernia happened in the last couple months. Consult today to discuss recovery, or further surgery. Woohoo...

    Yeah, not fun. Apparently, while my legs and ass could handle the squats and dead lifts, the rest of me couldn't. I'm pretty much in a constant state of discomfort. It's not outright pain, but I still don't enjoy it. Luckily the shoulder injury was just due to age and use; tennis, baseball, etc.

    If you want to be a fitness model then you're definitely going to have to min/max your food and gym time. But, I think for most people in this thread, it's about sharing struggles and then sharing tips & tricks to get healthier and happier. For instance, I'm not looking to lose weight, but...

    Wanted to take over my Dad's industrial dry lock valve business. But, mother walked out when I was 13 and left us hanging, so he had to sell. Dream #1 gone. These days, I dream (almost daily) about being a race car driver. GT2/3, Le Mans, etc. Real race cars (honestly don't think I'm quick...

    Kronos servers are having issues throughout the day, currently. But, the population really strong - especially on K2 - and it's a lively server. I'd say stronger pop than a live server ten years ago. Barrens chat on K2; better than I remember.

    I'm not an expert in the video game industry, obviously, but WTF is the point of two different studios making two parts of the same game? Clearly one is great and the other is mediocre. Why not make the whole game great? I dunno, maybe we should just be thankful we have 2/3's of a fun title...
