  1. Note to self: don’t smoke Ketamine.
  2. …so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!
  3. He’s Hugo Drax, Max Zorin and Elliot Carver all in one. Yep, Elon Musk is a combination of the 3 worst Bond villains.
  4. Sorry for the late notice. I land in ATL in 2 hours. Delta. What’s for breakfast?
  5. Used Expedia to book a night in an Omaha Holiday Inn Express. Check in lady needed my cc for incidentals and a “service fee” of $11.73. I was free to not pay it, but she’d hafta kick me out. I paid her the money and vowed to never stay at a Holiday Inn Express ever again. #enshittening
  6. Q: "How much did that hurt?" A: "Not enough."
  7. Is that a reverse "leopard eating faces?"
  8. When you're young, the goal is to be stronger than a man 10 pounds bigger, and faster than a man 10 pounds lighter. Now you add, stronger and faster than a man 10 years younger. And that's easier than it looks. Americans are lazy. BMI completely ignores muscularity. An NFL strong safety is "fat" according the BMI.
  9. Not really, but there are things that might help. I am speaking from personal, recent experience: 1) Get enough protein, up to 1g/# of body weight. That's real hard. Might be impossible w/o an unrealistic lifestyle change. No problem if so. Just track your intake with an app (I like MyFitnessPal but there are plenty of options) and get as close as practical. 2) Five days a week in the gym for a beginner is a lot. Might be too much. Try subbing 1-2 days onto easy cardio instead. The rucking idea above is a good one. But as a beginner losing weight successfully, pretty much anything works. Just do the work. 3) Play with your movements, weights and reps in the gym. Most say low weight, high reps is the way for Olds. In my experience the opposite is true. But you gotta figure it out yourself.. If you aren't a fat sloppy sow, 7 lbs/month is too much. Even if you ARE a fat sloppy sow (no judgement) you're gonna get down to level, quick, where 7 lbs is gonna be too much. That's a real cool place to be, and you need to pivot to sustainability. Otherwise you're gonna really test willpower and risk lapsing. That sustainability pivot can be a combo of several things. 1) If your diet is super spartan, walk it back a bit. Occasional dessert is fine. A cheeseburger, lasagna, in moderation is fine. Maybe even Coors Light. I highly recommend against soda, but you do you. 2) Less cardio. If your heart and blood work numbers are good, you're in the diminishing marginal return range. You can walk it back and have more time for other things. 3) Less cardio, more weights. Maybe get back to 4-5 days/week and get all swole and shit. You're on a great track, and are better off than 95% of Americans. Just don't lapse. Figure out now how to stay with it forever until you die. At some point you're gonna be the hottest man in the cul de sac. Neighbor ladies, young divorce's and sugar babies will take note. (I have a theory, that I'll likely never prove, that sugar babies charge lower rates for fit men. Maybe you'll go test that for us.) Keep it up, Man. This thread is on of the few threads on Surly that isn't evil and degenerate.
  10. I make my gardeners use these: 100% carbon free, Your rechargeable, self-righteous mower basically runs on coal when it's cloudy and calm. Not this one. I feed my servants organic, free-range vegan food. All told, my estate is actually carbon-positive. The bigger I make it, the more I save the plane.
  11. "Punch Elon and make him cry." That gives me a woody.
  12. Telling your employees not to sell company stock is something Enron did. Fyi for Tesla employees.
  13. Non removable batteries should be banned. I’m no expert, but I enjoy trying to fix things. Here is what I’d do: 1) Sounds like you have important “files” (sex vids) you wanna get? Pull the HD and get the cable and software you need to copy all that info. 2) Find the Batt’twschree and unhook it. Unhook power supply. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds. You want to get all the capacitors and circuits totally dead. Reconnect power. Leave Batt’tschree unhooked. Try to power up. If no work, unhook power, hook batt’tschree up and try again. How old is this laptop? If it’s >5 yo, even if you get it going, I suggest you replace it. Life’s too short. And for God’s sake use an auto backup. Google Drive is my preferred. Less glitchy than OneDrive.
  14. Wooderson broke bad. I’m in. Needs more Chevy’s though.
  15. Was gonna say Russia is stirring the pot to foment discord. But it seems Turkey doesn’t need outside help.
  16. My God that’s glorious.
  17. I’m gonna watch it, but what does this new movie bring that we haven’t already seen?
  18. I mean if it depopulates Florida…
  19. You grow up fast on a farm. Because you see some shit.
  20. Top Gun 2 is proof that every iconic IP has kickass sequel potential.
  21. This does not advance the conversation.
