    Well I’ve gone half a year and literally right back where I started, this past weekend. I was right at 281 although the weight moved from my gut to chest and legs. So, time for a serious change in lifestyle. Installed LoseIt to track calories as I know that is the issue. 4 days in I’m down 3 pounds but I expect that to level out shortly. Targeting 245 by thanksgiving. For reference I was 6 ft 5, 230 when I was in peak shape. I’m turning fifty in a couple of weeks and my knees have decided being a fatass is not going to work. The 12 hour intermittent fast seems like an easy goal to accomplish every day too.

    Their bet is that publicizing it will result in people finding it through other methods. It’s smart marketing. Unlikely to make much difference to their bottom line. Why are you worried about their revenue? I’m pretty sure they have a plan…

    Yeah Fidelity does this for me as part of account services… not really an “out there” concept. On the other hand, money market funds pay close to what a six month CD does right now so I’ve let all my CDs mature and roll into MM. I am not sure if they’re the ideal vehicle when things are staying choppy for another year or two.

    Do you need a face tron account? I’ve never had one or Instagram.

    I’d kill every one of you for a remake of Darklands. That game was the shit!

    As dumb as he is, all his believers are an order of magnitude dumber. And a quality troll by him would be his first. He’s a terrible troll.

    As does Westlake Hills. Small towns all over do!

    I’m sorry but I’m calling bullshit on a swimmer with world records being locked out of Jack shit. No need for hyperbole. And yeah we all want the best for our kids but they can’t all be the best. My daughter didn’t get into Yale or Caltech or Stanford and that’s just fine.

    I still have my watches including an Orange Monster and a couple of decent seikos but since I got my Garmin I haven’t worn them. I just switched to a nylon strap because the stock one was breaking after two years. I only have to charge it every ten days or so and the Solar option was double the price. So yeah daily wearer but on the dark side and my mechanical watches are collecting dust…

    Sup. It’s been a while. This one subtitled Fuck yo slow ass I’m going to the beach dad.

    I may be cynical but this is a win for dark Brandon. He gets to blame someone for it not happening and roll out new rules to try and make it another way. The real reform that’s needed is the penalties around student loans for the debtor. Make them discharge just like ordinary debt and you’ll see a huge change in behavior. Not a law dog so have no opinion on the supremes other than it’s bullshit that they are lifetime appointees and that they have zero ethical standards to adhere to.

    Interesting data point… first developer that I know of recently that bought a deal and the prices have climbed too far so that they are actually going to sell the land at a slight loss and walk it. Central Tx between Austin and SA. Fully entitled and ready to break ground, and it doesn’t pencil. That’s really bad. I don’t think the full effects of price inflation and current housing market conditions have been felt yet. There is still plenty of room downwards in this market.

    Down 70 cents right now. That is a fucking STONK! Ok if it retreats down to 2 I’ll load up for some shits and giggles.

    Just took a Texan around for two days to see the sights and enjoy the weather on the peninsula. Verdict: way too cold and oh my god it’s so expensive. Counterpoint: Lubbock. I couldn’t think of a couple more diametrically different places in the US.

    You can’t tease like that and no names? Crossroads in Carmel is the only one nearby that’s decent and it’s not as good as Rudy’s. Donde esta?

    It’s wild how invested some dumbasses are in dunking on Cali. I’ve only been here full time a year but I’m never leaving, and I spent my entire adult life before that in Texas. The scenery, the weather, the food is so good it’s hard to believe. Yes it’s fucking expensive as hell, especially the closer you get to spots that are like paradise on earth, but what do you expect? I love bbq and miss that, I miss my swimming pool and the feel of Texas heat (very occasionally), but I don’t miss the anger in people that I was noticing more and more, and definitely don’t miss my allergies or the traffic in Austin. I’m sorry for the folks that don’t get it. Truly.

    Texas has enough water to continue growing with smart management. Increase reuse and get rid of waste. But it’s unlikely to happen without crisis. Unfortunately that’s the way in the state. This next go round will be driven by the growth currently under way and will happen once aquifers go down enough for the imposition of development moratoria. Which is coming in the next ten years. Hell it’s already happening in some of the towns north of Austin but no one will say it out loud. Right now a bunch of different pipes are being run from the Simsboro and Corrizo back to central Texas. When those draw down they are out of options and direct reuse from wastewater will start.

    The worst poster on this site and you guys keep quoting him. Thanks assholes.

    Well that was all a big letdown for those of us expecting kinetic action, but overall I don’t think it could have gone worse for Putin. This was his hand picked guy completely going off the reservation and making him look weak and not in control. The digging of trenches across highways, officials fleeing Moscow, the lack of response by the security services all point to panic and complete surprise. I agree with the assessment that this does nothing to cause a decrease in effort in Ukraine as that die was cast and he has doubled and tripled down on it. If he loses Crimea , which he will, he’s toast anyway. But there is chaos coming in Russia. You can see it by the response to their mutiny. Which by the way is a lot better way to describe this weekend adventure than a coup.

    I know Reddit isn’t the most popular now but r/noncredibledefense is so good…

    Luka is in Turkey. He’s gonzo. The reporting will take a while to catch up.

    Couple of other thoughts… Remember the “ammo shortage” claimed by Wagner? What if they were stockpiling for this? And what if there is already something put in place in other cities besides Rostov and Voronezh? I knew playing Russian Front as a kid would pay off some day.

    I’m about to be out of pocket for about six hours so hopefully no nukes are launched and everyone just kind of holds their position until it’s convenient for me to resume. Fuck yeah this is awesome as a history buff. Russia always delivers on drama and excitement.

    It’s moving too fast to keep track of but apparently Putin has left Moscow (he’s from St Pete) so it’s getting very real.
