    DOOM

    I think people were expecting the next Battlefield game with battlefront, and instead they got battlefront. Great in its time, in the infancy of multiplayer games, but did not age well as a game in modern times. Battlefield games are still top notch. Way better than cod games, and while cod...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The one that worries me more is Yellowstone popping its lid. ITs about due too. USA is fucked when that thing blows, and then the rest of the world for a few years until the dust settles.

    Why not just use straight up heavy whipping cream in the coffee if you want fat+coffee? Each tablespoon has like 50 calories of pure fat and like 0.4g carb. Never tried that buletproof coffee but cant imagine it tasting any better than heavy cream in the coffee.

    Yeah i was never keen on the resets wow did. For one it obviously made all the hard work for naught. And second, it basically killed off any of the older content. Instead of add on expansions, they were a new game every expansion. Of course there comes a time in a games life cycle that a way...

    The keto thing worked for me. did like 70 lbs in 6 months. Well I should say at first it was calorie deficit, then keto for that last 30 or so lbs when i hit a platou.

    Yeah 20g per day is brutal, even some of the veggies have carbs in them so all that shit adds up quickly. Its like an all fat, protein and leafy greens diet. Even on my 50g+ diet im afforded some low carb flatbreads and shit like that. They sell them at my grocery store, its like a pita pocket...

    I learned this while I was on my beer brewing kick in the late 90s. Ever try to boil 5-6 gal of something? It literally takes hours to heat that up. So I got me a propane burner, kind of like one of those turkey frier things, but bigger and better. It could boil 5 gal of beer wart in under 5...

    Battlefield 1 - set in World War 1

    The problem with WW1 is the lack of any cool guns. Most were just bolt action rifles. A rare machine gun, the Maxim or Hotchkiss that was pretty much too large to carry and used in defnsive positions? Maybe flamethrowers? Meh, sounds....NOT FUN. these games are all about collecting and...
