  1. Buddy sent me his episode on the freakonomics guy’s podcast and so I’ve been listening to his book. Mid year and I’ve declared unequivocal victory on the weight loss goal. I don’t give a shit about muscles or lifting more than my what I functionally need to lift in my life but he’s convinced me. Figuring out phase two.
  2. That’s interesting, it’s so close to almost just a Les Paul but definitely has a tele shape. another random algo guitar company, in the more dano/fano realm - never heard of ruby guitars before but this is kinda cool. Love the grain on pic 3
  3. I went in to my daughter's room this morning to take her to brush her teeth. She was playing on the floor, hopped up and gave me a big hug and told me she wasn't surprised because she heard my footsteps coming. And then she asked why I was sad, "why is your face like this? ☹️". She's 4, she's at an age where I'm not trying to hide things from her but I'm never sure how much to try and explain, but I decided to tell her about how there was a big flood in Texas and a lot of people got hurt, and a lot of the people who got hurt were kids and little girls like her. And I was happy because I love her so much but I was sad because I would be so sad if anything ever happened to her and there are other daddies out there right now who are that kind of sad. And she reassured me that she was OK, and then she said that she would be sad if something happened to her friends, and I talked about how there are little girls who are sad for their friends right now. But that it's good to love people that much to be that sad. And then we brushed teeth. I'd fucking die. I can't imagine. We were at the beach weekend before last and I was walking around with her holding a bucket, looking for shells. She was making a princess tower and we needed shells. A 60-70 year old guys was walking down the beach, and he and I made eye contact for a second as he was passing and he just kinda waved, and it was little moment. I can't describe the look on his face or his posture or whatever, maybe I was just in that moment realizing that I was on the flip side of one of the handful of days I experienced as a small child that then make up your entire "going to the beach as a kid" core set of memories, but it was like the guy was waving to his own memory.
  4. used to love dem mitts
  5. At some point I had to read a bunch of different early Christian takes on Job. It would be interesting to go read those again. To the explicit question of how an elected official can say such a thing, it's purely a political move to manipulate voters into continuing to believe the opposite of what is true. They say it because it gives them power and that power has corrupted them such that they are no longer acting in service of a Christian God, if they were ever even trying to do that in the first place.
  6. Lol you’re so deranged with politics you’ve switched sides on Jesus
  7. prudent
  8. I mean tech job market isn’t great at the moment but if you’re straight salary that’s some bullshit. But, digression. I will say, one of the things that accelerated my creep up in weight in 2023 was no time = grilled cheese. Pivoting to no time = spinach shake was a big part of what has worked for me this year with little kids and a busy job. I look forward to that shake for lunch almost every single day. If my wife wasn’t on dinner I’d have a hard time staying on track with the kids. But if it was just me, I’d have a couple of things in rotation and that would be that.
  9. I mean wtf if you’re actually working 14 hour days regularly. My wife takes care of dinner, so that’s my hack. But, I am happy to eat a small number of things pretty frequently and that works well for me to stay in a calorie range. I eat one of two things for lunch almost every day, the same breakfast daily, and could do similar for dinner. One thing I like that my wife does is cook one protein and serve it a few ways. She’ll make broccoli beef with just ground beef (using kenjis recipe, but ground instead of shaved beef mostly because little kids). And then we’ll have more of that beef with some diced baked sweet potatoes and diced avocado and cottage cheese. Or she’ll put it into a bao. Or whatever. Similar with chicken- a rice bowl, something with a roasted veggie, maybe a big salad. Frozen fries are actually not that high calorie if you bake or air fry them - we had kimchi fries the other night with whatever protein and it was great. Eating out 2-3x a week would be hard for me, but also… I have almost zero free time and don’t know how you’d do anything if you’re working 8-10.
  10. You said above that you started at 235. That’s awesome. It’s going to suck tomorrow when you inevitably bounce above 200 again (because that’s how it goes every time you hit an imaginary threshold) but sliding under 200 is awesome. We’re at the halfway point of the year. I don’t even want to post what my current weight is because I think I’ll catch shit but I’m declaring victory on slimming down. I feel great, my numbers are awesome, I’m so glad I decided to get my shit together as I pull up to the big 40. I am trying to pull together a plan of attack for a simple consistent strength building routine, as that feels like the next logical step. I don’t have any issues with lugging around either of my kids or doing any of the things I do in my daily life, but I’ve been listening to Outlive and generally accepting that while I’m happy to be a wiry slim guy, I should work on building strength now for longevity. Still trying to piece that together, I think Starting Strength is next on the reading list.
