Speaking of that, I ordered a big tub of ovepriced protein powder on Amazon because I'm out. Hopefully buying 5 pounds of a flavor I've never tried (Cookies and Cream) doesn't turn out terrible.



My favorite flavors are extreme chocolate milk and vanilla ice cream, but they recently "improved" the vanilla one and now I find it disgusting.

I quite like the strawberry, with milk it's just like a strawberry shake

Haven't bothered to try any other flavors yet, need a report on that one

ON used to sell a sampler pack that had like 16 flavors in a small amount - I have no idea why they don't sell this anymore because I feel like googling "Optimum Nu-" gives a million suggestions of "Optimum nutrition best flavor?" posts.

And I've also read people who are like "Cookies and Cream 10/10 delicious BEST FLAVOR A+++!" and some people who are like "This tastes like that sawdust they put on vomit when you were a kid." v:shobon:v

Buy unflavoured whey and you can add whatever flavour you like whenever you like so you won't get sick of whatever over-sweet junk you committed to.

Also buy it in 5kg bags instead of overpriced tubs. It'll keep forever if stored properly.

Also, put waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less peanut butter than you expect or it will just taste like peanut butter no matter what else you put in there. Honestly, I mean like less than half a thimble full of peanut butter.

Get those little sugar free drop drink mixes, they come in cookies and cream flavor or chocolate for mixing in milk. Just don't get the coffee ones, they're the worst thing I've ever tasted, like instant coffee brewed in a public toilet.

I haven't tried this, but how about sugar-free flavored syrups? Most of them seem to have zero calories. That said, a tablespoon of cocoa powder is only 12 calories, which is hardly the end of the world.

Having been a man that big, I can say with utter confidence, he is just the beginning of the "Large" size. 8xlt to 10xlt if most definitively a thing.

10XL 31"-32" 39"-40" 82"-84"

I think once you hit 10xl they should just stop including a neck measurement, because who are you kidding.

I buy a lot of dice and comics, it seems.

The bag was for a friend but I want to keep it even though I have a great Adventure Time one I got at Comic Con.

Also for the same friend.

For my GF to replace one of her sets with really poor contrast.



Took a gamble on these gloves. I love quilted stuff and these were a good price.


And two copies of this. One for me and one as a gift.

The printing is okay but some of the fancier fonts suffer from bleeding, making it hard to read.

I got dragged into playing D&D again with some friends so I figured gently caress it, I don't own anything 5e (all my 3.5 and older books are gathering dust, poor things.) so I might as well. Considering grabbing a deck of spell cards for all the casters in our group as an early Christmas gift next time we meet up, but I don't know who has what already.

Fortunately my trusty ~15 year old dice were all in their pouch where they belonged, but I'm considering a fancy set of newer dice anyhow, maybe a d20 bigger than our DM's just for a laugh.

A few weeks ago we got tickets to the Michigan @ Minnesota football game. Awesome.

More recently I got boots for work, tires for sassypants' truck, a pair of Carhartt flannel lined pants, and treats for the puppies. Plus it was our 12 year anniversary so dinner and champagne too.

I got a little box that converts HDMI to RCA composite video and audio. It's powered by USB and not an AC adapter, which is neat. I'm going to use it to capture non-HD video from my PC on a DVD recorder (things too important for my lovely screen capture program to screw up), but it will also be useful for hooking my laptop and tablet into any old thing that lacks HDMI.

Man, I've been looking for something like this so I can hook up my Playstation TV to my kitchen television (a portable Salora from the early eighties) now that I've no use for it in the living room anymore (i.e. I played through Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops on it) but all the ones I've looked at are like four times that price. :tipshat:
