There's a BBQ place a stone's throw from my work that I have to fight myself pretty hard to not go to every day. It's run by a competitive eater. The portions are... generous.

They do bacon wrapped meatballs that are then smoked and coated in sauce.

You have to eat 7 cups of it to get as much protein as a medium egg. 99% of the time when iceberg lettuce is eaten its super unhealthy.

Lol why are you eating lettuce for protein. It's not sugary, doesn't have fat or many calories because it's relatively benign. "Super unhealthy" dude chill.

I thought iceberg was just bad because it had a huge amount of nitrates or nitrites or something in it that's horrible for us.

I'm down about twenty pounds in the last two months, and another 20 to go.

If I'd just stop drinking I'd probably be there already :v: but craft beer is delicious.

Not much tastes better after the gym than a big steak or burger (no bun) and an IPA.

kale has as much nutritional value as iceberg lettuce

Random question. My wife and I are trying to finally get on the same car insurance plan for the discount. I got two quotes - one at state minimums for liability, which is 30/60/25, and one at my current level of coverage which is 100/300/50. My wife and I are both good drivers with no tickets, violations, or accidents on our record. Is the state minimum super low or is that okay? It's only about a $20 difference in the monthly premium between the two coverages, but I'm not sure what makes sense since I have no real frame of reference on this sort of thing.

Health magazines are especially bad about pushing the same sort of pseudoscience, appeal to nature bullshit that morning TV does. Especially with protein shakes and health food all-natural appeals.

30/60/25 is hilariously and irresponsibly low. To save a couple hundred dollars a year it seems awfully dangerous to run around at "This will ruin me forever" levels of risk if you manage to kill or seriously injure someone and they spend the next 30 years suing you to recoup the other $2.5 million of medical bills they incur from your safely driving into them (hypothetically).

If a freak biological miracle occurs that allows me to outlive him, I might consider eating the dude, but I'd have to run that by the girlfriend. She wouldn't be so keen, I expect.

Lettuce wraps a pretty tasty, no lie, but loving being a lettuce nazi.



Just finished taking a licensing test to teach special education and I feel like I did really well on it. Will have results in 17 days, and it'll open more teaching doors for me.

Car-related: Parents own a 2006 XC90 with the 2.5T engine. Stepdad was trying to do a tuneup on it, but told me there was a bar over the engine. Turns out, it's a pipe for the intercooler. It's not filled with coolant or anything is it? I am not exactly sure what an intercooler is, though I suspect it helps cool / provide cooler air for the turbo.

Either way, stepdad would rather pay some shifty mechanic 30 bucks to change the plugs than pay the same amount (or less) for the two torx bits he needs. Too bad they live 3 hours away and they didn't tell me about it before I visited, otherwise I'd have brought my own tools and changed them for him. It's running really rough, and throwing a CEL that he says says misfire on multiple/all cylinders. My money would be on MAF being bad since he previously had a code for that(I think, he's not good at describing things...) and tried to clean it. Probably bad and not dirty, but I have no clue; plugs are cheaper than a MAF.

Note: Dude just did all this without my input. Not that he has to answer to me or anything like that; I just showed up for mother's day and he was all "hey car's running rough, what's this so I can change plugs?"

Best motor for that car.

Take the pipe off and put it back on, it's one of the turbo system pipes and there may be some oily residue in it, but nothing is going to pour out (if it does, something else, much more major is wrong).

Plug change should be no big deal. But if he's struggling with securing a couple of Torx bits, maybe he is better off getting it done professionally.

So I'm going back to school in September. About a month ago I went to the school's Open House just to get a lay of the land, get some questions answered, that sort of thing. While I was there I entered a contest to win a $5000 tuition voucher on a whim. Got an email today saying that I won.
