Are you student teaching every day? I'm kind of doing the reverse of you: I work a 9 - 5 job and then teach from 6 to 10. However, I teach in a college setting which requires a hell of a lot less energy, prep time, and grading time than a public school. Even still, towards the end of each...

A jacket works, especially if it has an inside pocket. However, he's going in August so it's going to be hot as hell in a lot of places, so I don't think wearing a jacket would be comfortable. The whole point of a money belt is that it's discrete and under your clothes so not only is it...

The vast majority of stores allow you to simply input/tell them your phone number instead of carrying the card around.

For real, I just looked up a lot of the challenges he faced during the show's run and a ton of them look like my typical Saturday binge eating feasts. I wish I'd had the bright idea of coming up with the show, and I wouldn't have turned into a fat, raging alcoholic.

I'd heard of Man Versus Food but I've never seen a single episode. I always thought it was about a guy trying to eat really disgusting exotic shit around the world. On the topic of the thread, I think both of them are idiots: him for feeding the trolls and her for being a giant sack of...

If you're drinking anything other than alcohol on vacation, you're vacationing wrong.

The way I always used mine was to keep just a single credit card and a small amount of cash in my front pocket. My passport and other cards plus the bulk of my cash were kept safely in my money belt. You're probably right that you won't get pick pocketed, but it's always a possibility. Much like...

I agree with everything Adam wrote except this. I'd definitely recommend getting a money belt, especially if you're going to be visiting big touristy areas (places that pick pockets love). It's only like 15 - 20 dollars for a simple money belt that can keep your passport, credit cards, and extra...

It's a limited run in stores, so maybe it's doing so well that it has already sold out in many places.

If you are looking better in the mirror, why worry about what the scale says? Put it away and stop weighing yourself.

If you make it to D.C. I'll eat some pizza rolls with ya.

DC characters have always struck me as having particularly stupid names, but a lot of that is probably just due to the age of the characters. Amazo, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master...they sound like Mega Man villains.

If you're referring to my comment, it wasn't backhanded at all. He looked absolutely terrible in the first picture (and I think he would agree with that assessment, himself) and he looks a ton better now. Honestly, I would never have guessed it was the same person if I hadn't known already.

I kind of agree with everything you wrote, but what else can they do? The entire premise of having a regular guy hanging out with a bunch of demigods is just absurd, so they have to dosomethingto make him a valuable member of the team. The Batman I like best is when he's generally...

Sorry, I sometimes forget that not everyone is incredibly lazy like myself. I used to have those days all the time and it was pretty great. I miss my 2.5 hour lunch breaks.

You're happy about having more work to do? Does not compute.

Looks to me like part of a bug that got deep-fried with the chips. It's gross, yeah, but chances are if you've been eating processed foods like most Americans for the majority of your life you've probably eaten some nasty shit without realizing it. I'm sure at least one of the hundreds of pizza...

You look a ton better. I actually thought you were a woman in the first picture.

My friend is a huge griller and he picked up (and got me a copy also) ofBobby Flay's Barbecue Addiction. This was a a year or so ago and he's made dozens of the recipes at this point and every single one has been fan-fucking-tastic. Highly recommended if you like to grill.

You'd look a lot better if you smiled.

those newfangled coke machines are bullshit. I don't give a shit about 90% of those shitty flavor combinations because they're awful. Not only is there the aforementioned problem of old people taking forever, but you'll generally only see one of those machines in a location whereas a regular...

I went to Fatburger today. The burger was worse than elevation burger, but a little better than Five Guys. The fries were great because they have "fat" (i.e., steak) fries, which I love.

No one here thinks this. I'm not sure why you keep harping on it. You answered your own question. Different people have different goals. For me, I don't give a shit what weight I'm lifting. My goal is to look and feel good, not push my lifts as high as I can get them. I don't need to push my...

Also, the support beam was stupid. "Hey, in this super high-tech world of lasers, robots, and nanobots, lets run around and beat the shit out of stuff with a giant piece of steel."

The sad thing was that one of the guys was clearly a newb (super scrawny, didn't really know what he was doing) and his buddy was showing him that this was the correct way to do it.

I meant muscle. I simply used "mass" because that was the term Eidal used, if I remember. Doesn't really matter. My point was that if I can increase my muscles to a size I'm happy with by squatting a light (for me) weight, why should I keep increasing the weight? Not everyone is interested in...

I despised the retarded buffing-to-equip-over-level-items bullshit system that was prevalent back in the day. AO was ahead of its time in many ways, but the combat was boring as hell and the pathfinding for pets was atrocious.

Speaking of bench press being dangerous, I saw two guys today using a thumbless grip while benching 225. I don't understand why so many people do that, as it seems needlessly risky.

You can buildsomemass doing light squats, like what I do with medicine balls. For example, I'm at the point where I'm very happy with the amount of muscle I've built, so I'm simply concerned with maintaining it while cutting away the fat around it. I have no interest in further developing the...

Thanks. I had already stumbled upon that link after some initial Googling, but even the most shade tolerant plants there (according to the site) require at least a couple hours of sunlight a day. I might give it a small try with some reflective mulch and see what happens. I don't really want to...

Well, you're right, of course, about building mass. However, not everyone is concerned with building mass.

I'm finishing my first week at my new (work from home) job. I can see how working from home can lead to a slide into neckbeard hermit status, so I've been forcing myself to go out and get lunch for an hour each day just to experience human interaction. In other news, my former company just...

Another reason I don't squat or deadlift heavy!

My apartment has a pretty big balcony which is currently completely empty. I'd like to plant some edibles, but I've been watching it the past few weeks and the problem is that the balcony literally receives zero sunlight; not even so much as a single ray of light at all throughout the day. Are...

I stopped squatting heavy a while ago because it completely ruined any enjoyment I got from riding my bike. Now I just do some light medicine ball squats.

The worst tip you can leave are those little Jesus booklets. I got a lot of those. I'd have preferred random loose change.

McDonald's hash browns are the best form of fried potato because it's like a giant tater tot.

This also applies to me, I think. I'm lucky to know pretty much only happily married people; in fact, i can't think of a single person I know who is divorced. If I weren't surrounded by successful marriages I'd probably have become jaded on it a long time ago...especially reading some of the...

Don't worry, I won't enter into marriage lightly. I already narrowly avoided a life-ending (both literally and figuratively) marriage and was only saved by the logical folks in this community who told me to put away my dick, ignore my heart, and get the fuck out. Unlike most, I listened, and...

Fast food is supposed to be fast, not fresh. If you have to wait, they should be apologetic.
