    Weight Loss Thread

    I joined a gym around me called fitness 19. Supposedly they are nation wide. They have a vast array of free weights and machines, squat racks, etc.. I signed both me and my son for $65 down and $19 per month for me and $12 per month for my son. No they dont have pools or saunas, or even changing...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Metabolic damage? Huh? Those are 1500 GOOD calories, like lean beef, chicken, and hardly any carbs other than some vegies and fruits. Im consuming about 200g of protein daily, thats more than enough to sustain my metabolism. Like I said I feel great. Have way more energy, even when I was...

    Weight Loss Thread

    YEah Like i said, I want to get down to like 220 ish and then ill get back up to 2000 calories. To tell you the truth, even during workouts, I have been fine, no loss of energy at all. Sleeping well, all that.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Yep its been fucking brutal, but it works. To tell you the truth, I dont even feel hunger anymore, im fucking used to it. Been doing the my fitness pal thing on the phone and making sure I log everything, including alcohol. Edit: Looking at my weekly average, its actually closer to 1500, lol.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Im back to losing weight myself. After last years "Biggest Loser" competition at work, I started to eat like a pig again. Fucking filled out 260 in no time. Back down to 244 right now after depleting my calories to about 1800 per day +/- for 4-5 weeks , plus this time I decided to hit the gym...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Well I know I bought the thing, but honestly will I play it? IDK? Its been months since I played and the minor addiction is now way broken. The problem will still remain with this new DLC, not enough fucking content.

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Yeah this is totally disappointing. Its totally being rushed to coincide with the movie release. This was the one I was looking for the most ever since I heard about it. Now, after hearing more about it? No thanks.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    When is the wolves den coming? WTF is happening to this game? Hopefully Bungie have leaned that releasing a game like this needs tons of content to have people keep playing. Even the most hardcore can only do the same shit over and over for so long until they finally say fuck you Im done.

    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    Shits like this all over the place. Im in automotive engineering and they wont even look at you anymore without a piece of paper. It was not like this in the past. Some of the best engineers I have met were non-degreed, entering the automotive workforce in the 60's as technicians, designers...

    Smokers / Grills

    I would love something that does cold smoking consistently. 135F or thereabouts, for sausage and stuff like that.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Yeah they have ones for planted tanks as well, which I assume would be good enough for herbs. But yeah definitely check the color temperature before buying. If not, there are other solutions out there in amazon land dedicated for horticulture. They even have 90W LED grow lights that screw into...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    You could just do it like my mom does, plant the herbs in small ornate planters, keep them outside in the summer, then in the winter take them in and put them in a sunny place. The rosemary plant has been going for like 10+ yrs now, its like a fucking tree trunk at the base, lol. If you want...

    Ive heard to stay away from seagate. But this was a few years ago. I used to buy nothing but samsung drives, but then they upped and sold the division to someone else, not sure who. Ive had Hitachi drives last me for 5+years as well, especially if they are slaves, like all storage drives are...

    First World Problems

    Some people are just fucking nuts. Working in restaurants when I was a teen I learned real quick to fucking hate people. Somebody always wants something special. There is always one asshole out of the bunch that does not like the onions or cilantro or whatever the fuck. Its one thing to order...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    But there in lies the irony. The iwatch cannot be a piece of jewlery because, like with all modern day technology, it has a finite shelf life, its a throw away item. Something that cannot be timeless, like a gold locket, pair of diamond earnings, or a watch. But people will buy it, the...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    I just honestly dont see a need for this type of device. The only ones to buy this shit are the i-plebs that stand in line for the next morsel of apple hipster tech which is usually already obsoleted. Id rather get a nice $500-$1000 analog watch that wont be obsolete within a year and I can...

    Sony golds all the way. I have the above and the golds, and although the golds look stupid they are way better. Simple USB dongle and they work wirelessly. Not oly that they work perfect on PC and probably the xbone, although I have not tried it. But since its a windows platform I don't see why...

    Keyboard and Mouse on a PS4

    ^^^^ Nahh, there is a definite advantage to KB/Mouse. You can tell the difference just by playing a game like BF4 or CoD on the PC and then playing it with the xim on the console. I usually get destroyed on the PC side (although I do OK) but I definitely do better on the PS4 with the mouse and...

    Not anymore, but the S3 didnt. edit: Well now im reading all kinds of shit on this and one place telling me that its a myth, and another that its not. So I dont fucking know. All I know that my battery has definitely degraded over time. edit2: So I just downloaded an app for monitoring my...

    Smartphones

    Well Ive had my S3 for a year and a half and the battery is considerably weaker than it was in the beginning. I have to charge it both in the morning and at night, but I do play games on it and they drain the shit out of the battery. The biggest problem is the fucking overcharging and how it...

    Smartphones

    No reason really, and you are right. I still have a Samsung S3 which still serves me right. It will be 2 yrs this August and I paid $50 for it with a contract. But I will probably upgrade again to some other $50 phone they have a deal on, why? Because I can. Im hoping the Note 3 will be on...

    DSLR Camera

    Yeah I just dont have cash to spend on this shit. I like photography, but it can be like a black hole money wise. When I was younger I could spend the cash because I had a lot. Now with a family and wife bitching for buying this stuff, its hard to do. But I do need to get a few lenses for this...

    DSLR Camera

    It came with the standard 18-55mm IS lens. Its not bad, but it has trouble focusing when it gets darker/inside. But it could also be me and not knowing the camera and the focus modes yet. I was thinking about just getting the 50mm 1.8. Its cheap and it gets good reviews.

    DSLR Camera

    Didnt know this, but I guess there are mounts to use my old carl zeiss jena lenses from my old Pentacon six medium format camera. Obviously the auto focus wont work, but in aperture priority the lenses work great if you manually focus them. You can even use the camera focus assist in manual...

    Picked up a Canon Rebel T5 bundle for $300, lol. I took my kid to Kmart because he wanted a webcam for his youtube shit. So while there I was looking around and low and behold a T5 brand new in box for $315. The box did seem open before, but I checked it out and it was brand new for sure...

    Bill Gates Says AI Will Be As Dangerous as Nukes

    Ive read somewhere that AI is improbable for the simple fact that mores law will cease to function at around the 5nm size. Then you are entering the realm of quantum tunneling asshatery. Now the human mind is said to be estimated at about 20 petaFLOPS. A top end desktop Mac Pro runs at 91...
