I mean, I kind of get it. I spent an inordinate amount of time getting a full set of Rubicite armor and 2x Ykeshas because it looked fucking cool. Or level up a half elf bard only because going super fast in a set of neon blue Lambent armor was awesome. But the weapon skins are something no one...

Thanks for the free $5 this week, PUBG! No idea why anyone wants a fucking hunter orange weapon skin, but not my problem. All the rest of the skins seem like you'd never even notice them. I guess I'm not the target for shit like that.

That seems pretty strong. Far Cry 3 was amazing. Vaas is one of the best villains of all time.

My first reaction to Michael's vote was "wow, what a shitheel!" But thinking about it more, it was probably one of the best "losing" plays I've ever seen. Instead of throwing away a vote and having someone mad at you, he can basically walk it off. It may not save him still, but it was probably...

Super disappointed. My wife saw a casting for extras for season two last year, but by the time we saw it, we figured it was too late. I'm pretty sure it probably wasn't, though. Around that time I had been reading about extras who end up becoming regular set pieces for shows (Game of Thrones...

Was just looking at the latest standings and it's ridiculous to compare the Atlantic to Metro. Atlantic is basically already decided for every single team (minus Toronto and Florida), meanwhile not a single team from Metro has clinched a playoff spot nor been eliminated.

Agreed. But shit works. I've done it for years and after even just a few minutes you can see a noticeable difference in your hips.

I'd say it's mostly because deadlift for legs is heavily focused on hamstrings. And I've noticed, at least personally, that hamstrings don't really play much of a role in my squats. Squats are by far more reliant on your quads and even glutes. Thinking about the movements, I'd guess hamstrings...

I just wanted to ask real quick, are you sure it's a 40kg bar? Because that seems like it'd be fucking monstrous. Standard bar is 20kg (45 lbs). I feel like even that Rogue elephant bar probably didn't weigh that much.

Fuck, what a great movie. It's funny, after watching it, I told my wife that I really like cowboy movies; specifically this and Hell or High Water (the most "Texas" movie I've ever seen). Not necessarily westerns, but that style of movie. Well shit if I don't come to this thread and find out...

Weird that I can't for the life of me find a way to stream this shit at work.

Disappointed because I didn't even realize Murray State would be playing in San Diego. Could've driven down to see them. Although, I'll be driving down for work on Monday, so not really sure I'd want to do the drive there and back twice in like 5 days.

The two young blonde girls have see-through panties most days, too. Just saying...

It was a pretty ballsy play, and I think the "it covers two people because James went home with two idols" was pretty ingenious. I'm pretty shocked no one cracked, especially since this early the alliances are way less meaningful. This is one of the best early seasons I can remember. I...

Couldn't do it. And now I'm just going to rant because after we tried watching this show we also tried the Extraordinary Homes show on Netflix. First, I'm sick of these several minutes long montages of what the show is going to be. Just let me watch the damn show. We get an opening montage of...

I don't know what that really has to do with anything though. I actually just looked us up on the pubg.op.gg website and we're between #870 and #2161 of all players (I'm the 2161 because I haven't been playing with them all the time). Granted, we've got a 14% or so win rate, but still. How...

People must really suck at this game. I don't think our squad is all that good, and yet we keep ending up in the top 1% (we're all around top 0.2% right now). It takes about 3 matches before we break the top.

Could this be an example of the failing US infrastructure everyone is always talking about?

Saw this today and it kind of makes me want to lift something heavy. From The Arnold. Also, for good measure, The Mountain. Made it look easy, too.

Were you doing everything? I did it just for bench press a few years ago and made some insane progress. Kind of makes me want to try it again. I could see doing multiple exercises being brutal though.

I never post in these threads until the playoffs, but I'm kind of flabbergasted by the Caps this year. I'm pretty sure after they got knocked out last year I said that their window was basically closed. But now that I'm posting, it'll surely mean their downfall. Sorry Merrith.

I appreciate your anecdotes and your opinion, but not everyone is like you. I don't need work to have some sort of "purpose" in life. You do. People are different.

Wait, they got rid of the rain entirely? I just thought I hadn't seen it. What a stupid idea.

I get what you're saying about the Trinity study. There are several reasons I'm not concerned. The study was based on a 50/50 equities/bonds allocation. Which is ridiculously conservative. While bonds do smooth out volatility, they also hinder gains enormously. Something like 80/20 for early...

You keep the little piece of paper that says, "Sorry, you don't get to play today." That really screwed Jacob too. Had he come up with a better lie than I forgot it, like "I had to use it to start a fire, it was rough shit out there man!" it would've been more believable.

Both of you covered it already, but damn... Gonzales was fucking idiotic. She probably wasn't going home, but whispering to everyone at the first fucking tribal? If I went in and wasn't voting her before that, I would be after. And Jacob with his whole searching for the idol for hours in the...

Yeah, I eventually figured it out. The problem is in the 1040 instructions they reference qualified dividends about 15 times, and every time it says Schedule D, but not whether you have to actually file it. I did figure out that unless you have something on a certain line of the 1099, you don't...

A long time ago I realized that I was really dissatisfied with most of my jobs as they were centered around IT. Basically, at the end of the day, there's fuckall to show for what you did. But building something? Or tearing something down? That shit is amazing. Even something simple like having...

The idea that companies would pay out employees because they got a tax bump is preposterous. That several companies actually paid one was a massive surprise to, I'm sure, most people. If you're a company, and you're currently paying your employees a certain wage and they're happy with it, why...

Watched the first episode. They went HARD on the cliches. And yet, not a single fucking pair of JNCO's. Dislike. Edit: Two episodes in and everything is SO heavy handed. Super zoom in on Surge? Check. Super zoom in on Discman? Check. Super zoom in on Jolt. Check. Random ass comment in 1996...

Only somewhat related, but several years ago I saw an article or YouTube video that was talking about the idea of "dirty bulking" being bad and how it may not necessarily be true Basically, every fitness guru will tell you it doesn't work! But the issue is almost every single one of them has...

Well, you're also suggesting that you somehow put on more than 5 pounds of muscle in 6 months. Unless you're a brand new lifter (we both know you aren't) or on a bike, you've somehow defied the physical limitations of humans.

Ignoring the zoomed in which makes it hard to compare, he's definitely put some size on his traps (they were non-existent before) and medial delts, and probably triceps. There's definitely a good deal of fat though. You can see it around his waist. It's probably about 5 pounds of muscle and 15...

Watched the trailer. This is right there for my age group as I went to high school in the late 90's. But I also wasn't a super nerd. Nothing in that trailer really reminded me of...anything. I think part of the problem is that it'd be easier to just watch a coming of age movie from the actual...

I've posted bits and pieces all over this place in the past year or two. You are correct, I'm 34 and hoping to retire before I turn 40. Based on current projections, it's looking more like 38. It all depends on when the next recession comes (earlier would be better for us). Essentially I found...

Apparently people are answering this thread legitimately now. So in my case, I currently make a little over $80k a year. I re-did my projections earlier today and I'm thinking at our current rate of savings we can retire by the end of 2021. Due to taxes and phase outs, a bump up to $150k would...

A+ thread. Would read again.

I wish I hadn't missed out on the good years of credit card churning. I remember in the 2000's, especially with Fatwallet, it was huge. But they've clamped down on a lot of that, like manufactured spending.
