Shenanigans

Yea but the scrapped it after some backlash immediately after announcing it. I think this is the only time I have only seen 1 of the best picture nominees. Thats pretty crazy to me. *shrug

Whataburger is super accomodating with obnoxious Keto orders. I regularly get a double or triple meat w/cheese and no bun. Toss some bacon on that bad boy and you got yourself a nice keto meal. They serve it in one of their salad trays with lettuce and tomato etc all the normal addons. Makes like a nice burger salad. Ran 5K for the first time without stopping yesterday. Slow pace, about 5MPH but the goal is to get that in the sub 30s in not too long. GF wants to sign up for a real race but she's a bit behind me and I don't want it to be a miserable experience for her.

Hot damn, Ross can ball.

Anybody else get a bit more constipated/harder shits than before? It is much easier to become dehydrated while on a ketogenic diet since you don't retain as much water. I have personally also experienced this as well, so make sure you are drinking your water! Prior to starting on keto I had significant gastro issues with chronic IBS. Stomach issues have significantly recessed after changing my diet. I used to think it was due to lactose but I am eating tons of cheese these days and don't notice a problem.

Dropped about 40 pounds last year but stalled out in July and just maintained right around 200 since then. I'm hoping to get down to 180 this year. GF wants to train for a 5K, so hopefully the additional cardio will help. Diet has been Keto but lots of cheat weekends that I need to stop. May eliminate breakfast as well to add in some intermittent fasting.

Yup.

Anyone buy Smash Ultimate? I played N64 smash a ton back in my childhood and this is the first one I've played for any decent period of time since then. I'm having a good time! So many characters though it can be overwhelming. Right now I've unlocked about 51 in total. I haven't played online yet, still trying to learn moves and find a few characters I enjoy. I tried out Simon for a while but now have been playing lots of Roy and that is going much better. Some of the challengers to unlock are pretty obnoxious/difficult. So are some of the fights in the adventure mode.

You should also buy the Deluxe Audio Headstrap (assuming you bought the base vive). It is a huge improvement and worth the premium. Can't help you with the Rift box though.

So I have done couch to 5k on and off and this is the method they go with until you get to the point where you just do 20, 25, 30 minute nonstop intervals. Do you still recommend that? I'm just on a treadmill so my pace is pretty constant at about 5.5 MPH when I'm actually jogging. Should I consider jogging at a faster pace and taking the run breaks or keep doing the slower, longer runs to get my cardio up?

Keep it up! Thats great that you are getting into the gym. GF wants to run a 5K, so I've started running a bit. It is amazing how losing a bit of weight makes running so much easier. Still can't run 5K without stopping at even a slow pace but I am able to go 25-30 minutes nonstop. Hopefully I'll be there soon.

The Beto phone-bankers and door-knockers are literally just helping people find early voting/election day locations and trying to help them prepare a plan to vote. They aren't trying to convince people to vote for a candidate over the other. Seems like a pretty ridiculously thing to get butthurt about

The size looks about right for me, but obviously I don't have anything for scale.

The round 3-pin connector looks like an XLR connector, commonly used in musical equipment. Buy a cheap multimeter and you'll be able to check the continuity of the pins. You should be able to splice a new connector pretty easily to it.

GOAT Christmas album.

Brisket, everyone knows that California is full of hippies and fruits. And I'm sure they put beans in their chili.

In.

I bought something off eBay for over $500 that was shipped USPS. They delivered it to the wrong address and the package disappeared. Fuck em. Fortunately eBay reimbursed me after an obnoxious appeal process. Never going to let something valuable be shipped USPS to me again.

Yes he was. They did chop up her body and tried to dissolve it using chemicals in his apartment tub. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jennifer_Cave Happened at the Orange Tree condos in West Campus.

My apartment complex recently purchased a Peloton bike for our gym. I love it! The classes are high quality and challenging with different types of classes available. They are paced based on cadence and resistance which is calculated directly by the bike, so when you use the app you don't get that feedback which would take a lot of the value out of the classes in my opinion. They sure as hell aren't cheap though and some people apparently fuck with the calibration so the leaderboards are all over the place if you are trying to use that as competitive motivation.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

So last night I was sat down by the GF as she was concerned about my alcohol consumption. This is the second time we've had a conversation about this and after the first I substantially changed my drinking habits. Previously I was drinking a whole 1.75L bottle of liquor per week. I significantly stopped that by reducing the amount of times that have a drink during the weekdays, now my consumption is about a 750mL bottle per week. I am drinking a bit on the weekdays again now and this equates to about 2-4 drinks 5 nights a week and usually over the course of 3-5 hours per night. My girlfriend is what I would classify as not a drinker, she rarely will have more than a glass of wine a couple of times a week. She has expressed concerns about alcohol use due to behavior she has witnessed by her mother as she was growing up. I have a different background, both of my parents drink, everyone in my family did the greek system in college, and I am often traveling for work with sales and customers which results in often entertaining each other with alcohol during and after dinners. My mother has been to rehab for alcohol and mental health issues and during these stints I have participated in family counseling sessions and am very aware of the destruction that can occur due to substance abuse. My girlfriend's concerns are that my regular drinking is the start of a downward spiral that will eventually result in health issues, liver failure, cancer, etc. I have no history of destructive behavior towards her or any close people when I drink and she has agreed with that statement. I have only been shitfaced drunk around her a few times in the past 1.5 years. She has concerns that I am using alcohol to boost my spirits and gets upset that when I come home with booze that I generally am in a better mood than on nights that I know I will not be drinking. I said that this was because I enjoy having a couple of drinks and I find it enjoyable and relaxing. I am not missing work or not keeping up with any obligations with this quantity that I am consuming. Generally I will drink while playing video games creating music or watching a movie. I don't really know how to feel. I don't personally believe that my drinking is a problem or is particularly extreme, yet I am being confronted and clearly am offending her by participating in this. I do feel sort of judged by someone who is very straight-laced. She doesn't approve of really any vices. I am trying to stay low carb so I am drinking liquor rather than beers, and I feel like this exacerbates the negative perception. Am I in denial about how extreme my drinking is? I am surprised that I am being confronted after significantly reducing my consumption by so much and when there is no destructive behavior also being included with it.

Don't question the struggles of a hard-working public servant, citizen.

Maybe UT needs an official tailoring department and that would help us catch up.

How was the door ajar if she was unable to unlock the door. What happened to the narrative about keys being stuck in the door? All of this is garbage lies.
