    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For bag mods, I love the one that came with luiv3, but it is not separate and I moved to tukui. I switched over to ArkInventory and it takes a little bit of configuring but I have liked it a lot. Very customisable, just intimidating at first. It definitely needs the interface shrunk by default.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I had the opportunity to run a few raids last night as DPS while working through some initial tank gear acquisitions. Going from 502 > 536 ilvl weapon upped my dps way more than I thought possible. Depending on the fight, I was pulling 100 - 120k pretty regularly. That makes me happy because...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Here is my armory with my Frost DK gear on. I still have a couple of pieces that are more Blood related but I didn't modify too much. I need to tweak my hit a little bit to get it up to 7.5%. I haven't done a raid since the new weapon, but depending on the fight I was pulling 70 - 90k dps...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I have been hitting up LFR for the past two weeks. I hadn't raided at all and after a 7 year break I am glad LFR exists. I would say about 80% of the groups complete the raid. There are a few mouth breathers that ruin things sometimes, but I am not perfect either so I can deal with it. Just...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I just started playing again after about a 6 year break because a buddy used the Resurrection scroll on my account. The last time I played was around the Burning Crusade. Started a level 1 mage around a week ago and I am now level 63. The res scrolls provide silly experience when you are...

    Weight Loss Thread

    1300 calories doesn't seem like it would provide enough food. Can probably just switch over to soylent at that point. I put down approximately 1800 - 2100 calories per day, haven't really been counting lately as it is just routine. I was similar to Khane's frame when I started (282 lbs, 5'9")...

    Same here on the coal situation. I can basically only find enough coal to have a skeleton supply of torches so I can continue to explore. I can't even think about fueling my ship at the moment. The change in damage is also obnoxious. The Hunting Bow went from being overpowered to slightly...

    You can make huge changes to your weight and fitness level with diet change and just adding slight bits of exercise. Given your work schedule, I would start small and form that habit first. It is better to start slow than to go all out and have a higher risk of failure. I will plug DDP Yoga...

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    The first one was fair to average. Nothing special really from what I remember. It didn't feel quite right. I thought Catching Fire was actually really good. This movie had a bit more going for it as they were able to get more into the revolution and what is happening outside of the arena...

    Mortgage Refinance Advice

    You should call the bank the owns the mortgage currently and ask if they will do an interest rate adjustment. I think they just called it a rate reduction, it was with US Bank at the time. Around 1.5 years ago that is an option I had on my FHA loan. Basically, they will just lower the...

    This. Whenever I had tried to lose weight previously I bit off more than I could chew. When I was not successful I just gave up. Introducing things bit by bit is definitely the way to go. I still do not enjoy working out, but setting small goals can help in the interim. Current goal is...

    I think it depends on the program. I am sure there are sessions that are more about stretching / flexibility. The DDP Yoga ones get my heart rate into the aerobic zone for a majority of the workout, so I think so? Some of them will spike my heart rate into anaerobic for 5 minutes or more at a...

    I purchased the whole shebang of DDP Yoga from the website. I like DDP so I figured I would give him my money. I completed the 13 week beginner Yoga program 2 weeks ago and I have started on the Intermediate. The beginner program is perfect for beginners (duh I guess). I started the...

    I hit up a restaurant in Minnetonka MN last week, BLVD. Went with my wife and one of my buddies. Would go again. The price tag of the place is pretty spendy. It isn't a crazy expensive fancy restaurant but we are talking $40-$60 per person with an appetizer and drink. If you get...

    Well now that is just confusing, partly because I am not down on Hex terminology fully yet. I can't see how this would possibly be a good change or rather, that it needed to be removed. Just let folks pass priority if they want. What is considered triggered? Come in to play, beginning of...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    I read the book again after seeing the movie. The best thing I can say about the movie is I did enjoy seeing certain things like the battle room outside of my head and on the big screen. Overall it just went too quickly and it was too...happy? The book was rather dark and Ender was much...

    Thought my order was borked somehow as it was sitting in pending. I ended up calling Google and talking to a rep yesterday. They had to escalate which would take 24 - 48 hours. As it turns out, it must have been a technical glitch. Got an update later than night giving me full status and...

    To the filling enough point, that is just getting your mind right. When I started to lose weight on a higher fat diet I had to learn the difference between hungry, not hungry, full, etc. It took a while, but right now I am not hungry pretty much all the time even through I am not full...
