    I'll volunteer to do some shepardizing in my free time.

    We didn't evolve to walk on two legs. It's an engineering design problem.

    The Song of Achilles (2011) I guess I liked the idea behind the book, but Patroclus was such a dud of a character for most of the book it just didn't work. Perhaps more importantly.

    Saw the cardiologist. She said since I don't have any symptoms, up to me whether I should get a stress test. Which I'm doing on Monday.

    I think it's simpler than that. I think they feel like they can get people who actually like this shit to move here. You keep the home grown minorities down and uneducated and replenish the white power areas with assholes who want to move to an asshile state.

    Your UT degrees aren't going to be worth shit in a couple of years.

    Sweet Jesus. How have the stents limited any of your activity? Although my GP wanted me to just see what the statins and weight loss did, and didn't recommend seeing a cardiologist, he agreed when I told him I was ruminating and surfing the web and freaking out a bit. I don't kill myself in the gym, but I enjoy a 15 mile bike ride and a 20K steps walk and a 2000 yard swim without really thinking about it. If you told me I could continue those activities even with stents/bypass, I probably wouldn't be so anxious.

    Armageddon Time (2022) James Gray is always solid. This is solid. Via netflix DVD. Fuck them and you. I'm old school.

    Love this guy as a backup to Quinn when Alabama tries to fuck his shit up.

    Yeah, from a dietary standpoint, the biggest issue I have, now that I've gone from thinking all I have to do is not be stupid is now to be proactively smart, is going to be the baked goods. I've always been a bread guy, and now I'm trying to limit myself to some whole grain stuff as a treat now and then. Yay avocado toast. I got to an Iraqi bakery to pick up Samoon bread, so I'm gong to have to figure out if that can play into things a bit. My GP told me not to worry, that as long as I was feeling healthy, and still losing weight, he didn't think I'd need increased testing or referrel to a cardiologist unless I had issues with getting the LDL down after taking the statin or just developed some other issues. I'm thinking with the test results I got, I am going to feel better finding a good young cardiologist who is not going to retire before I win the Cenenarian Decathalon.

    I got one. It was high. Basically, if you get a bad one, you never need one again, because the next time you'll need a coronary angiogram to check for blockage. If you scored well, I assume its up to you as to how often you get one.

    Fabelmans (2022) Pretty disappointing I thought. I thought the problem was the two lead parents. But mostly Spielburg's usual gift for the comedy of youth seemed really spotty at best. I thought the Aggie Christian girl was the only great thing in the film.

    Seems like a good opportunity for smart person to open a Revolutionary Bookstore nearby to sell banned books and some light porn.

    Since this is a board about living the good life and also eating lots of red meat, you guys need to go get your calcium scoring test done. Quick little CT scan, not covered by insurance (but only $100 bucks). Gives you an idea of the calcium in your heart, and thus the plaque buildup. I got my first one today and I'm on ArmyBrat's side of the temporal fence, and I'm pissed that I didn't take this earlier. The numbers aren't pleasing. My LDLs were only recently just a tad over normal but I've got some ugly numbers. It would have been nice to get a scare in my 30s or 40s so I could have gotten the scare a bit earlier. Anyway, Peter Attia is all about the early testing so this is an inexpensive test. Go get it.

    First words out of my mouth when we saw the place "Look, an Irish Buccees!"

    We just got back from Ireland last month, and a big surprise was on the way driving back to Dublin, our gas gauge was at 3/4 full, so my wife was panicking about petrol. We pulled off at Moneygall, and were delighted to end up at the Obama Travel Plaza. It was totally unexpected and fucking great. Would love to see one in Waco. https://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-plaza-ireland-themed-service-station-bizarre-2019-12 I'm hoping Biden gets his own Plaza.

    Or what one imagines one would look like when getting one.

    That citronaut dude is awesome. Most mascot are angry but he looks like one feels when getting a hummer.

    First episode of Beef pretty solid.

    Somewhere between symbolic gestures and reasonable gun control is where negotiation and legislation are supposed to happen. The Republicans aren't even attempting to engage in that.

    Empire of Light (2022) I really liked this flick. The time setting for me made it great and gave it an emotional punch.

    Missourians telling RD they drove from Saltillo to Guadalajara in three hours. "Oh, we were bookin'"
