No, Italian food still tastes really good. Don't worry, you haven't been wasting your time.

5% dps upgrade for a really minor hit to eHP sounds worth it to me. But, your eHP is ridiculously low, you're not coming anywhere near MP10 with those kinds of stats. One bull rush will ruin you. I think 500k is the minimum to safely take a bull rush on MP10.

Armor is armor, don't matter where it came from. Just import your profile.

No, I was explaining what you should have bought. Those might not be upgrades anymore. You can't think of it in terms of just HP. Go plug your character into d3rawr and figure out the eHP of upgrades. Vile Wards don't have the 6% life stat(but they can) but will come with a lot more AC and...

Vile Ward for your shoulder. If you're going Cloud of Bats, pick up a LS Skorn. If not, pick up a Manajuma's Carver. Lacuni Prowlers aren't needed, you're already capped on movement speed from the boots and pants. Or ditch the pants. But most keep the pants since the BoA recipe for bracers...

A few of your choices were puzzling. Probably just didn't know there was a cheaper/superior set/legendary in that slot.

Right, that's why it was so cheap, no one uses LoH anymore, it's essentially a garbage stat. With ~5% LS on that axe, you'd be able to tank the skeleton king no problem. But the paradigm is not "tanking" anymore. If elites don't blow up in is 3-5 bells, you're wasting your time. At that...

"rampaging" MP7 with that gear seems unlikely. Doable, sure, but you should be down at MP6 or 5 with that dps. In fact, I'm not sure how you're not dying to spike damage since sweeping winds can't proc LoH and you have no life steal. I guess the three defensive overkill passives help. Your...

If gut flora is a problem, you should do a baking soda cleanse.

I have read that series. Shame that he killed off the bongos dude so early. Heh, no one said Gardens was easy to follow. That's a feature for those that enjoy the series. Erikson does that on purpose. He rarely ever explains the history of his settings, it just comes out naturally in...

How has trollface not shown up yet?

Thanks for the response, Elurin. I'm not going to do CrossFit because I've heard of too many idiots injuring themselves, even on this forum. I do have P90X sitting on my hard drive, might try that. But, I have been reading that marriage thread and I think I found my motivation: keep looking...

Oh, one thing I forgot to add. The Malazan marine squad. You won't get this from his current trilogy obviously. But Erikson is the first author I can remember where I was excited not to read about a character(not to say there aren't some good ones in this series) but a group of characters...

Well, hopefully the marriage is more than a financial transaction.

It's the latter. I'll slightly disagree with you about the giving motivation part. For most people, yeah, sure, motivation has to come from within. But I'm an engineer, I wouldn't be good at my job if I didn't take advice/criticism objectively. Also, if I didn't spend all work day farting...

Well, Elurin might actually be lifting like a madman. I asked this a while back, but he must have missed it, but he had commented that he sometimes has to take 5 days off his regimen to let his joints heal. McCheese, I'm not sure using sports is a good example. Pro athletes are fucked up...

Chrisd, I'm honestly surprised you were able to start at Forge of Darkness. I had assumed the book was written with the assumption that the reader had read at least some of the main series. As for the philosophizing, this seems to be a trait Erikson picked up later on. Toll the Hounds(book...

Not being a diabetic scooter-driving hambeast is nowhere in the same realm of the strength training Elurin does. The people you're describing could solve/prevent a lot of their problems with a healthy dose cardio that he hates. Please don't confuse exercise for health reasons, which I totally...

It doesn't HAVE to be anything beyond hobby, that's why I was asking. And obviously I can't quantify the difference between bad effects of sitting in front of a computer for a while(posture and eye sight) versus serious strength training, but I'm leaning towards the latter being more...

My motivation is not having to buy new clothes. Also, as a former fat kid, I ain't ever going back. Fuck that. Elurin, this isn't meant as an insult, but look good naked for who? You mentioned in the marriage thread that you and your wife rarely have coitus, so who are you improving your...

I prefer syrup.

Those sales are the biggest tease because they essentially have to line up with your contract renewal date. Somewhat related: Motorola is doing some sort of sale on the Moto X today on every version except dev, which is not the same as unlocked. You get $150 off but their servers got so...

Pretty much the same here Eomer. 1-2 a week BUT it's much better sex than when we were doing it more frequently. I know it sounds shitty, but I'm more motivated to do things during sex that she likes even I find no interest in it myself. Like bondage stuff, which is kinda tame admittedly, but...

That would be the more egregious offense. Getting fat on overpriced, poor quality food.

I think some people are still friends with her on FB.

Thanks for some of the recommendations. A few of these are a bit more than I wanted to pay as a surprise Christmas gift. Is it safe to assume that those that run of a battery can just bypass it by plugging it in? Yes, it's been that long since I've used something like this.

Just curious why you like the Note 3 more.

It also has a smaller, lower res screen, for whatever that's worth. The point is not that it should be slower, it's that it should be cheaper. I don't know what it's selling for now, but at release, the Moto X was selling for $200 on contract, $600 off, which is brand new top of the line phone...

ATT isn't good where you are? Their coverage is usually equal to VZW, they just get a bad rap quality wise due to being the sole iphone service for a while. Moto X has a few nice features. I specifically like the active notification via the AMOLED screen. I was hoping the N5 would copy...

Anyone have recommendations for a good set of bluetooth speakers? You know, the ones you can link to your smartphone and play music? Phone neutral is preferred. As in, it doesn't have to have a docking station tailored for a certain phone. Integrated wireless charging mat is a bonus, but not...

To demonstrate my ultimate answer: my personal opinion is to stop giving VZW money and go with a different company or even do prepaid. You can get a N5 that way. Cell phones and service contract are way too subjective for people to give helpful answers. Where do you live(coverage)? How...

Why are you guarding an abandoned building?

I've got work to do but sometimes I do absolutely nothing. I can't decides what's worse: doing nothing because you have no motivation to do your actual work, or doing nothing because there's nothing to do.

Grats to you for having the oral muscle stamina to go for that long. That's part of what I meant by antagonizing my wife. I've given my fair share of oral, it's tiring. Especially the day after when the frenulum hurts. Knowing that the other person is enjoying whatever is going on is of...

Is a certain angel visiting you?

Nope(no orgasm). And considering a pussy or anus has far better coverage/tightness(not to mention I'm in control), it's not really something lost. It's not worth antagonizing my wife about it. I'll take the frequent anal I get from her over a BJ.

I'll admit I've never had an orgasmic blowjob(hence the cheese comment), but the prospect of never/rare penetration is a severe downer.

There's nothing wrong with oral. But usually it's just foreplay. Just oral sex sounds pretty boring.

So sex for you is pretty much just blowjobs? Meh, I'd rather have cheese.

Anyone know if the google play store does holiday sales for the nexus devices? Going to be purchasing a nexus 5 soon, but I don't NEED it until March. I can wait a month or two if it means saving some money. And yes, I realize google already sells the nexus 5 with a subsidy, so the chances of...
