Nothing spurs a diet or exercise routine like your doctor saying that if your blood pressure doesn't come down she's going to put you on a prescription for it 😑 Treadmills gotten a lot of use since then.

I need to get back in shape for rugby come april/may or else ol' Horus is gonna get smacked around like the proverbial redheaded stepchild. I'm as strong as I've ever been but also packed on too many pounds. Did a friendly powerlifting meet and put up 2 new PRs, 320lb squat and 230 bench, DL is sitting around 410lbs. I'm pretty happy with those for now, but it's time to lean out a little.

Old man rant: I'm generally opposed to "snow days", because gently caress these dumb kids praying to get out of the classes their parents pay tens of thousands of dollar for when they can't be bothered to get out of bed, put on shoes, and/or have proper tires in the loving winter. But both the city of Flagstaff and NAU are somehow incomprehensibly incompetent at preparing for, and dealing with snow. Like, at all. It's genuinely beyond me how you can have a winter storm warning by NWS three days in advance (with up to 27 inches of snow predicted), not prepare for it whatsoever, engage in laughingly bad efforts clearing the snow during and after, and then be EQUALLY UNPREPARED AND INCOMPETENT WHEN YOU GET ANOTHER SNOW STORM WARNING TWO DAYS LATER. Outside of maybe the main pedway, absolutely fuckall has been cleared, there have been a total of five injuries from people falling down the legit-snowslide-stairs just in my dorm (then again, maybe they should go out and buy a loving snow shovel and some rock salt like I did), and now that all the non-cleared snow has begun thawing and re-freezing over the last two days, we're getting another 17 inches on top of that. I love snow and I have no problem getting up a half hour earlier to negotiate the lovely conditions, but the blatant incompetence is beginning to actually hurt my brain.

Everyone likes to  the south when it comes to snow and ice, but the fact of the matter is they aren't equipped to handle it even with infinite notice. You can't suddenly make scraper trucks, salt trucks, tons of rock salt, etc materialize.Likewise the same thing happens in other places too just not involving snow. Hurricanes don't really gently caress up Florida more than a couple of days if even that normally. Most places are completely functional in a week. Then you go to New Jersey that isn't equipped to handle a strong hurricane and Sandy comes in a wrecks loving shop.

Everyone likes to I get what you're saying, but this is Flagstaff. This place sees an average of something like 120 inches of snow per winter. I've been here for over two years now, and I've never - in my life - seen a place that gets snow with calculable regularity and is yet completely and utterly unprepared to deal with it. We had three snow storms like this in my very first semester, and neither NAU, nor the city had any form of coherent plan or reaction for it. Even when it snows normally, not in winter-storm conditions like these, normal cleaning operations barely cope. The single thing that you know will be cleared eventually, is I-17, and Milton Road, which is essentially just I-17 turning into Route 66. And that is usually barely done until the late afternoon or evening. It's genuinely bizarre.

I live in a city that has maybe one to two hard freezes annually and that's all. There was one winter here where we had actual ice on the road for an entire day or so. Some of those roads were just simply not safe to drive on. I've got experience living in a place with actual winters, snow, and ice but in those places they actually have salt trucks and snow plows. There is zero infrastructure here to handle any ice at all and there are tons of hills all around. 3" of snow would be devastating here and would be every bit as big an event as Sandy. On the flip side, I get hit by storms just as powerful or more so than Sandy annually and they rarely cause more than mild inconvenience because we're equipped to handle them.

Confirming the southeast handles hurricanes and poo poo great, they have repair crews out working as soon as the storm passes and they get poo poo restored pretty quickly, IF I lose power from a really bad storm it is usually up within 4-6 hours. With the notable exception of Louisiana because they are dumb and built their capital below sea level on a river.

Zeris posted:You sound like a real joy to be around That hurts me in ways I'm emotionally ill-equipped to process. I'm not even going to pretend to apologize for being irritated by a gaggle of idiots sitting on some of the most limited and popular equipment, fingering each others' asses and snapchatting 27 different versions of the same picture with that retarded dog filter, and taking 15 minutes between "sets" where every rep is a quarter squat or some strange bench-curl-row hybrid. Nostalgia4Murder posted:Everyone loves the guy giving unsolicited advice at the gym. Less "YEAH BRAH YOU TOTALLY GOTTA LIFT WITH YOUR SPINE BRAH", more "Have you ever tried setting your back in an arch before benching? It'll actually help your chest and delts work harder, plus it's easier on your shoulders." I'm not going to bust my rear end trying to help someone if they're completely uninterested, but most actual serious lifters aren't (or shouldn't be) afraid to at least take the time and consider advice or information if it's presented in a non-douchey way.

Well then, not an hour after my bitching, all of NAU is shutting down. This after one of the campus bus lines could no longer negotiate a mild incline, "stranding" 40 students in the post-apocalyptic, inescapable snow tundra that lies a five minute walk to campus buildings in each direction, prompting violent tweeting from the "stranded" students. The hilarious detail: That means grounds services will stop clearing operations as soon as the rest of campus shuts down.

I think the ultimate point is that there are places that ignore their regular weather and simply refuse to prepare. Luck much of the south and snow. Every loving year we hear about how Atlanta is getting rocked by a snowpocalypse. It's not unusual to see a couple of inches of snow, yet it's always a huge disaster because the city/county/state is unprepared. If 6" or more drops on the city, I get it...that's unusual. One of the best things about my old job is that I had a well-maintained, rear end in a top hat-free gym less than a block away that was dirt cheap because I signed up during a killer promotion.
