I checked Flightaware when I heard the jets overhead around 1245 or so. These were the only grouping of military jets that I could see around the area. At first I thought it was around PK, but that's even further out west.

How long did it take to get that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't had a chance to play yet, I'm hoping I'll be able to kick my son off of the Xbox and play some this weekend. Here's a video that I saw this morning about a new Titan exotic helmet that looks absolutely ridiculous.

I’ll try and get on tonight at some point? Is there a way to just buy the expansion or do you have to buy the bundle for $59? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will at some point tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i'd possibly be up for it, I'll probably be on some today and maybe tonight.

How long have you been on keto? It can take a few weeks for you to get completely fat adapted so you won't be hitting a wall midway through a workout. Check out /r/ketogains for more info. I've taken C4 before, sometimes I may just have a cup of coffee.

I didn't see this thread until just now, but I've been looking for one as well. I found this review last night and ordered the recommended dash or windshield mount. https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-smartphone-car-mount/ The CD player mounted one looked interesting, but it would block almost all of my radio controls and display on my truck.

Labdoor does tests on lots of different supplements to look at their purity, ingredients, etc. Here's their best list: https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein I've used the MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate before and it was pretty good.

Well from personal experience I didn't get to be 300+ pounds by having discipline with food. I had heard of low carb diets for years, but always said fuck that I can't deal without having at least the occasional piece of bread or starchy food, etc. Finally decided to give keto a try and it's surprisingly easy after a week or two. You don't crave sugars or carbs, and you aren't nearly as hungry as you would be on a typical diet. There's enough stuff that you can eat from fast food places or restaurants, you just have to place special orders. Lettuce wrapped cheeseburgers are still pretty damn good.

Cramps are an electrolyte issue having to do with not getting enough sodium, potassium, or magnesium. Pickles and the juice will help you absorb sodium and potassium better. I personally, have never had much of a need to supplement magnesium, but I do need to get more sodium and potassium. The easiest way that I've found is to drink lite salt mixed in with water and a squeeze of Mio.

As far as construction grade lumber goes, pine is about all there is. If you want to use something that's a hardwood you can, but it will be much more expensive. For me, I don't think it would be worth it as a first project unless you're willing to invest in more tools and be willing to deal with the possibilities of learning mistakes. Pine is a softer wood, but it would be fine for a desktop IMO. For a rustic/farmhouse piece a few dents and dings just give it more character. If you were wanting to use something like western red cedar, I'd steer you away from that. It's very soft and will easily get roughed up. If you're doing a lot of writing on the desk, maybe use a pad or something underneath the paper. Since the desktop shouldn't be glued to the base, you can always go back and make the top out of hardwood later on if you aren't liking the durability of pine. One other thing about the design that I would definitely change is how you attach the desktop to the base. The plan calls for you to attach it with pocket holes. Doing this is asking for trouble down the road. You want to attach it in a way that allows for the natural wood movement of the wood. I like using ones like these. You cut a shallow slot 9/16" from the top of the base. The clip end of the fastener goes in the slot and you screw the top to the table. You can use your router and a straight bit for this. Here's a link that talks a bit more about wood movement. http://www.canadianwoodworking.com/get-more/table-tops-and-wood-movement For tools: It's hard to go wrong with using a Kreg Jig as you're starting out. It's a quick, decently secure method or joinery. Just pay attention that you're drilling the holes on the inward or downward facing sides of the board so they're not easily visible. Personally, I don't care much for the Kreg Rip-guide. I think it's a piece of junk. The ruler on mine is off by about an 1/8" and it takes too much time to get set up if I take it off of the saw. Kreg's Accu-Cut track system is supposed to be good, but you can make a pretty simple cutting guide pretty easily and it will pretty much do the same thing. A belt sander wouldn't be a bad purchase, it can quickly sand away a lot of material. They do make quite the mess, so definitely wear a respirator and do it in your driveway if you can. Another option would be to refurb an older hand plane. You can usually find them at either antique stores, flea markets, or ebay. It's a pretty simple process to do that takes a couple of hours. You can sharpen the blades using various grits of sandpaper and a flat surface like glass or a granite countertop offcut. There's a lot of guides out there that go through the entire process. If making stuff out of wood is something that you know you'll enjoy and you have the room, I'd look at getting a table saw before getting another circular saw and router table. They're very versatile and it would be something you'd use in almost every project. I'd recommend getting a cheaper contractor's saw to start out with, I'd skip over the smaller jobsite saws. Rigid makes a pretty decent one that HD sells for about $500 new. Lowes carries a similar featured Delta for about the same price. You can use 10% coupons and other tricks to lower the price a bit more. Craigslist is also another option. You can never have enough clamps. However, I've heard to stay away from the larger Harbor Freight clamps, but their smaller size clamps work fine. I'm a fan or Bessey clamps, but there's a lot of options to pick from. If you're needing really long clamps (40"+) 3/4" pipe clamps would probably be your cheapest option. Clamps are one of the things that I always keep an eye out for sales. For router bits, I recommend buying a small set similar to these from Amazon. Shop around a bit to check for reviews on durability, etc. Something like this should have most of the the bits that you'll commonly use, and will be a lot cheaper than buying them individually from HD or Lowes. Pay attention that you buy the correct shank size (1/4" or 1/2") that fits your router. If you haven't already, check out The Wood Whisperer, Steve Ramsey, Jay Bates, and I Like to Make Stuff on YouTube. You'll be able to learn quite a bit from all of their channels at various skill levels. /r/woodworking on Reddit is also a pretty helpful. Good luck on the project.

What you posted is made out of 2x4 construction grade pine and 1x ___ pine that you would find at HD or Lowes. It isn't ideal for building furniture out of, but with the rustic farmhouse style that the desk is and for a beginner that is just wanting to build something it's fine. You'll want to dig through the lumber piles and find the straightest and driest boards that you can find. If you have access to a table saw or bigger bandsaw, you can have better luck buying 2x10s or 12s and ripping them down to width. Personally, I would make the top out of a thicker wood. I'm also not a fan of using pocket holes for table tops. I would just use glue and clamps to hold the boards together. There's a couple of different ways you can go about edge jointing boards depending one what tools you have to work with.

Awesome, I've been looking forward to SMB2 coming out, I had planned on buying it when it released. This is great news!

This is a pretty interesting article that I just came across. It talks about the whoosh effect, and how it's from water retention after you burn fat. It mentions one of the ways to trigger it can be to have a bigger meal than normal, but it's not something that necessary as your body will keep burning fat and eventually do it on it's own. http://www.lowcarbkitchen.us/the-whoosh-effect-burnings-fat-and-losing-weight-dont-happen-simultaneously/

Big changes to your diet are going to have some affect on how your body digests foods. Changing to a high fat diet is going to take a bit of time to get used to, but eventually things should settle down in a few weeks. As someone mentioned before, certain kinds of sugar alcohols can give you the shits, so can a lot of whey protein.

If you're experiencing that then you're having the keto flu. Drink or eat electrolytes and you'll feel better. Go to the grocery store and get a salt that's called Morton's Lite Salt. It will have both sodium and potassium. I like to mix it with water and lemonade flavored Mio. Also, you may want to have a cup of bone broth a day too. Eat an avocado or dip some pork rinds in guacamole. You're on the right track, you just need to be sure you're staying on top of your electrolytes. My wife had a co-worker that switched to a ketogenic diet and ended up in the hospital a couple of times because she wasn't managing hers properly, but I think she had some other stuff going on as well.

Good job, first week or so is the hardest because you feel sluggish. Keep at it and it's easier as it goes along. If you haven't already, check out /r/keto or /r/ketogains and set up your macros. Use either Cronometer or MyFitnessPal to track your net carbs and the rest of your macros. For the first couple of weeks, I'd just focus on being sure you're under 25g of net carbs a day. After you get used to that, try and nail down the rest of your macros a bit better and find a good caloric deficit that you can comfortably hit everyday.

Water + lite salt + a squeeze of Mio tastes pretty much like Gatorade, btw. No cals, no sugar

I've never heard that it's a symptom of the keto flu, but because you're eating a lot more oil and fats than you're probably accustomed to. Although, if you are having frequent diarrhea you need to keep a close eye on your water in-take and electrolytes because it makes it a lot easier to become dehydrated, which is what the keto flu is. Eat more fiber, spinach and celery are pretty good options. Take it slowly if you're adding things like MCT oil to your coffee or whatever.

Checking in for the first post on the new board. I hit a plateau for about a month and a half or so where I was stuck at around 255-260. I hadn't really changed much, eating about the same on keto (1650-2000 cal, 175 protein, 25 carbs, 130 fat) and working out 6 days a week. Around mid February, my body started losing again and I'm now down to 245. You just gotta keep at it and not get discouraged by stalls. Watched this video the other day about IF and fasting. There was some pretty good info in it.
