  1. They should do a crossover sequel where the Accountant gets on the server and organizes the elements into layers.
  2. For you, definitely upgayed.
  3. perchance
  4. well now I'm ordering a whole bag of sugar free gummy bears
  5. He’s been almost dead for years it seems like. He really was great in almost everything. I should go rewatch The Saint.
  6. If you have a hard time understanding this and the ensuing conversation in this thread, it is not everyone else who is a dumbass.
  7. Interesting. I was googling Marcus Miller's again recently because i was cleaning up my Fender Marcus Miller and I guess he's basically got a whole line of basses with this Sire brand? Obviously that looks like a 51 p - love those, they have a great sound.
  8. A solid foundation in liberal arts would help you understand the importance of context.
  9. I believe it still exists. Very selective.
  10. As a general rule, small school is probably better than big school for liberal arts when it comes to engaging students in the way they should be engaged properly in the course of obtaining a liberal arts education. That’s based on the idea that a small school will have smaller classes and more discussion based classes, and more focus on ensuring any one student isn’t just ticking boxes to fulfill requirements at achieving a degree. Mileage will vary and 20 years ago UT did some reasonably good things to ensure that liberal arts students had to do some engaging liberal arts work in the course of completing their degree. I like liberal arts, I think it is valuable and I have specifically leveraged my liberal arts education to have a (by most standards) successful career so far. 15-20 years out from getting my actual degree I suspect that there’s a bit more value having “Texas” on the bottom of the CV than say Southwestern. But also that line probably doesn’t mean all that much anyways. Liberal arts is ultimately about critical thought, though, and it seems unlikely that you would see that practiced effectively at UATX.
  11. It’s bullshit if the first scene isn’t a guy waking up and beating wood.
  12. He walks directly into the camera as soon as the band starts playing and then immediately posts a picture of his private jet captioned “get me to God’s country”. Pearl clutching conspiracy theory you never know with Lorne he had a plane to catch lol come on dude. Sure it doesn’t matter at all but if you make a habit out of being stupid it becomes who you are.
  13. He wanted to get back to God’s country where he’s free to shout Jesus’ favorite word.
  14. I'm obviously joking around in the shag fashion a bit and am not trying to give you the AA talk where you're not specifically looking for it but I'll put on the real voice for a second and just say what I mean - every fucking alcoholic suffers from terminal uniqueness and I believe I told you that you had that problem several years back and if i didn't I apologize because you are still suffering from it now. You don't need a special cure for your special self, you need to do the things that the people who know what to do keep telling you to do. I apologize for doing the thing here where I'm giving you a lecture, I'll stop doing it now outside of threads where it is explicitly appropriate, best of luck buddy.
  15. I need to go by the shop when I’m in Austin
  16. I need to eat more cottage cheese. And I made these egg bites for the kids the other night and was thinking I need to come back around and get these added into MyFitnessPal for my own consumption- https://www.allrecipes.com/copycat-starbucks-bacon-and-gruyere-egg-bites-recipe-7724623 As I start coming off of a deficit and trying to consume my daily calorie expenditure or closer to it I’ll need to get some better easy healthy food options. But the caloric equivalent in cheese sticks (2) of a quest bar would be less filling to me (and have 2/3rds the protein) of a quest bar. I’m not trying to convert you guys to protein bars or whatever I’m just trying to think through if there is some thing that is better that strikes the same mix of tasty/filling/portable/about 200 calories. I will say that stuff like kind bars don’t do nearly the same thing for me in terms of staving off hunger as do higher protein bars like quest. I should make those egg bites with fewer yolks and a healthier meat, keep those frozen for a quick breakfast when I’m home.
  17. That amount of chicken and some rice would be ballpark 400 calories and would be a good meal with some veggies or fruit. But yeah that would be an entirely different purpose than how I eat protein bars.
  18. I mean, say more? I don’t want to eat a sardine. For me, a protein bar *is* satiating, and I guess also carries the convenience factor. A quest bar is like a snooze button on my next meal, or adds that satiety to a meal that might not carry much otherwise, at the cost of 200 calories. I’ll eat one in the morning if I’m hungry and don’t want to wait till lunch (and am either at work or am cramming it into my face between my busy block of meetings from 6-10), or I’ll eat one with lunch on a day like today when I’m likely to get a bowl of soup from the chinese place next to my office and then have a quest bar for dessert. What is the whole food I should be eating instead? Cottage cheese? This is my normal lunch when I’m wfh. 500 calories, it’s highly easy for me to eat this and a healthy dinner and a small night snack and that’s it for the day.
  19. If I make a salty bareballs joke is that classic shag or am I hatecriming you?
  20. Just make sure there’s a Ryan’s Buffet nearby. Looks like Barebells is 9g sugar alcohols as compared to 7g for Quest. I think the limit of what you can consume without side effects is somewhere in the 10-20g range. I don’t have a problem eating a quest bar any given day, but I’m not also eating a bunch of fake sweets. My dessert at the end of the night is one or two of those 100 calorie Luigi’s Italian Ice cups.
  21. I have a physical scheduled with my primary care to check the levels and whatnot - i think I’ve cannibalized a bit of muscle going too fast but I wasn’t muscular to begin with and had an overweight bmi. I certainly feel a lot better now. It’ll be good to get checked out though, and I need to start figuring out some kind of easy strength building/core routine that works for me.
