  1. First prime brisket they’ve had at our Costco in 2+ years. Smells incredible Planning on cooking through this evening, then holding in oven til lunch tomorrow
  2. I think we’ve spent or allocated $100B so far, so $300 per American. We spend $3k per American per year on our defense budget, for perspective.
  3. If you can find ways to exercise more, you can take ii and iii out of the equation. At this point, I’m finding anywhere from 800 to 1800 burned calories a day, which is allowing me to consume 1700 to 2700 **while still dropping 2 lbs per week**, which I find more than enough to rarely feel hungry.
  4. I’m about 10-11 weeks from joining the club with you. Should crack 220 any day now. 10 in a month is super strong. Nice work
  5. Your system assumes you never make a mistake in determining where everyone is around you. It works right up until the time it doesn’t.
  6. That’s pretty much what happens. And they all know it, and also that they need to hide it as much as possible. You want the amateurs to feel comfortable and not realize they’re effectively being targeted by the pack. When you study your ranges, you see that your preflop call/fold/raise range facing an open is entirely dependent on WHO that opener is. They’re doing that to a much greater degree. Those guys are factoring in the persona of their opponent on virtually every move they make.
  7. 1. At that point, they are playing a different game than “normal”. They are now leveraging their hours of studying the other’s specific play. I see this in the play of pros in our room. They are not treating me the same way they treat other pros. They have to continually learn and change up their own play to stay profitable. 2. You should be playing to win a tourney, not simply cash it. The reality is that tourney poker is highly unprofitable for most of us. The only way to get close to profitability is to take the top prize on occasion and if you just play to cash, you’re greatly reducing your capability of taking one down. You’ve got an incredible opportunity to take a commanding chip lead w AA here. Maximize it.
  8. The seminal moment in rock history genre naming came in 1981, when a Mr Samuel Roy Hagar presented with great clarity with his song “Heavy Metal” an inarguable distinction of what fans, media and music scholars alike can agree is, most certainly, NOT heavy metal.
  9. Smart. Make them think the Russians did it.

  12. BestBet live stream w an obnoxious drunk … could be good
  13. If you didn’t have “good inflation news so stocks tank” in your forecast, that’s on you
  14. Confirmed asshole Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
  15. Reported
  16. I was in the 40-42” range when I started this. Started wearing 38” comfortably somewhere around 240. I bought some 36” but, like you, guess it’s not realistic to wear them until that 200-210 range. I’d like to see 34” when I hit my final goal of 185 How do you plan on getting there?
  17. Perhaps 3-4 lbs in water weight fluctuation could occur with a diet shift, but you’re not going to just slip up and accidentally eat the 35k surplus calories you’d need to add 10 lbs of body mass
  18. It’s such a satisfying accomplishment. Keep playing frequently and you should get there now that you’re in the ballpark.
  19. Nice. You know it’s in there
  20. Say no more
  21. I’m dead-on my weekly calorie target every single week but look at this 4 week “plateau” (chart is of weekly weigh in averages, all with 7 weigh ins done at exact same time each morning). I’ve done this before, so I knew what to expect and don’t let it get to me, but I can see how it could easily wreck someone that doesn’t know WTF is happening. I’m sure it kills a ton of diets Note the huge recovery that put it right back on schedule, though I didn’t make any changes to my intake or activities.
  22. The body can only be so stubborn. If you consume less than you burn, you will drop weight. Water weight fluctuation may “hide” weight loss for a few weeks, but actual body mass was still being reduced behind the scenes. This eventually shows up as a “miraculous” weight loss one morning, but if you chart your data religiously the trend-line eventually proves right. Laws of Thermodynamics and shit
  23. 36oz bone in rib-eye, dry brined, smoked with pecan at 225* then reverse seared.
  24. Bullshit. You do not exist.
  25. For what it’s worth I’ve found tracking my water ensures I drink an excessive amount every day and that seems to minimize water weight/bloating. I drink 120oz minimum and would guess I was maybe half that before tracking. I’d always see my weight jump after unusually heavy exercise days previously, presumably because of dehydration, and now it is noticeably more stable.
