    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I don't get that pick. Why do the Lions need a tight end? Is Pettigrew gone? Edit: And that white guy, Fauria, who dances a ton. That guy was a solid TE.

    Wow, what the fuck? What are the odds on that? Hopefully they prescribed you some pain medication. I hate taking things for pain (even aceteminophen and ibuprofen) and so I turned down tylenol with codeine. Last Friday I was in agonizing pain. I almost went to the ER just to get something for...

    I'd prefer the last home game, against a divisional foe. But that's just me. I don't really like the idea of sitting outside at Soldier Field in December though.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I think that the frozen food thing also included Red Lobster (another Darden restaurant chain). I'm kind of glad that McCheese says that's bullshit, but I wouldn't eat at any of those places anyway. Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Applebee's, and Outback, to me, all provide such a low quality...

    I got around to watching the Ponderosa videos (except Tasha) and they seem to have really slimmed back the amount they show. Outside of Morgan and Sarah bitching about Kass, there hasn't been much talk of the other players in the game. Jeremiah had a short part of Jefra's clip where he said he...

    I went to one in the last month, and just like the above posters, it still had endless fries. Not sure why yours doesn't. I'm a big fan of Ruby Tuesdays. That salad bar is fucking delicious.

    Anyone been watching the Ponderosa episodes? I'm wondering what the consensus is with them. I see them all rolling their eyes at Tony, but that could just be editing. I feel like Sarah and Morgan could both be very poisonous to Ponderosa though, and cause the entire place to vote as one. Kass...

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    Not just Cutler. Lots of QB's that are mediocre got huge paydays. Vick, Romo, Eli (despite his 2 championships), Flacco (despite his one). Really, the only ones who deserved that kind of money were the consistent performers. Rodgers, Brees, Manning, and Brady. All these other guys getting $100M...

    People on bodybuilding.com were actually discussing her, and the consensus was that she's actually got a ton of fat still. It's just more loose than she looked when she was very large. That pouch of shit on her stomach still probably contains a good 5-10 pounds of fat she could lose, which would...

    You can't spot reduce fat. Lower you overall body fat levels and hope that it's one of the areas that goes first. It's 100% genetic.

    Their burgers are good, they're just so damn expensive. The fries, for the price, are a good deal for how many you get. I just hate dropping a minimum of $10 per person on what is essentially fast food. That's why In N Out wins for me in the battle between the two. It's McDonalds prices for a...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I hadn't even heard of this shit until this thread where I had to look it up. It seems like a legitimate style of cooking, but one where it's ideally used on something you want to impart a strong marinade into. Pork butts don't fit that description. Something like chicken, sure.

    Can anyone recommend a good VPN/proxy for torrenting? I got my first ever DMCA notice the other day, and now I'm worried that my ISP will shut me down. I've considered doing Usenet, but it seems like a lot of work (do people also end up using VPN's for them too?). I'd prefer Usenet, since it...

    Weight Loss Thread

    You're missing the point that exercise doesn't matter. Weight loss is almost entirely a function of diet. Eomer's example of fries is a good one. The amount of time it would take you to burn off the fries as opposed to just not eating them (or eating something else) is astronomical. You can...

    Awesome job, man. I've lost about 18 pounds and it makes me pretty excited thinking about how far I've come. I can't even begin to imagine how life changing dropping 73 pounds would be.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Seriously. After looking at that link with all the remaining chapters, it's looking like they're just going to be trying to stretch things out. I'd guess midway through next season we'll see the end of Bran's currently written chapters, and at that point they'll have to either make up some new...

    I still think the Browns gave up on McCoy too easily. If they could've surrounded him with talent, I think he would've been an above average NFL QB. He literally had no one on offense to support him. At this point though he's pretty much ruined.

    I'm confused as to why carb depleting and then loading would be desirable though? What effect does depleting have? Is there some kind of physiological effect that carbs have on glycogen depleted muscles that makes them extra large as opposed to ones that have a level amount of glycogen? Once...

    It's probably 4-500 calories. My goal is 1 pound a week. I've probably hit the goal about half the weeks, and around 3/4 a pound the other half. 19 weeks in right now. It's hard to get a good grasp on what the actual deficit is due to the fact that for every few pounds I lose, my actual...

    It's amazing what carbs do to you. My morning weight is pretty steady, but I've been working on that challah bread (see cooking thread) and so my carbs are up probably about 50 grams higher than normal. My morning weight is steadily going up 1 pound every day for the last 3 days. I actually look...

    How so? He just guaranteed himself top 4. That's assuming they try to vote him out the next two tribals. More than likely, he's in the finals. He really just needs to get Spencer out in any one of the following 3 or 4 votes (depending on how many are left). I have a hard time seeing how he loses...

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?
