All but one of the suits I own I purchased when I was 50lbs heavier so they all look like I'm a kid wearing my dad's clothes now.

This is along the lines of my problem right now, 6' at a lean 240+ makes buying regular clothes an enormous pain in the rear end if I want anything that isn't a shmedium or a circus tent. Suit shopping turns that up to the nth degree where I can get the shoulders to fit but the arms are hosed, plus the amount of material a tailor is going to have to remove to get a tapered fit is ridiculous. I figure once I stabilize at maybe 250ish I'll just go for bespoke and be done with it.

Even a high end store like Brooks Brothers or John Varvatos with a tailor on staff has a hard time with that since suits are designed for skinny twinks or fatties. Bespoke is the way to go, even if it costs money. I found bespoke prices to be actually reasonable, especially whrn compared to a high end store, plus you get to choose everything. The fit and look will be much better in the shoulders, traps, chest and waist. Moving up or down sizes to fit one will throw off the other so much and the tailors can only do so much to accomodate.

Spending money sucks but if you are going to buy something for a serious occasion it's better to make sure it fits well and you don't look like poo poo.

I mean yeah for normal day to day internal stuff, but if you ever do anything customer-facing (sales, consulting, or management) expect to be throwing on a sport coat over those jeans at a minimum, if not a casual suit with no tie.

I never got the IT nerd resistance to dressing up when appropriate. Spend money to buy well fitting clothing and it's just as comfortable as jeans.

We're mostly socially retarded, but more so silicon valley kind of dictates the dress code these days. It's shorts, hoodies, and bringing your dog to work. When I talked with Amazon one of thier requirements was having a cool dog to bring with you to work.

Networking tends to pay far better because fewer people focus on it. You end up having to do a fair amount with Linux/BSD and AD anyway no matter where you are in IT.

Security and software defined networking are the two most lucrative fields within IT infrastructure services right now, though.

Cain Velasquez, Stipe Miocic, Junior Dos Santos, and Fabricio Werdum are all guys 6'2-6'4 that weigh in the 230-240 ballpark for fights and are lean.

Roy Nelson is 6' and weighs around 250 for his fights.

Since I quit drinking every day a couple years back, I dropped from 190 to 165 and can't gain any weight because I don't like eating constantly or lifting heavy things. I'm 6'1 and my body type is Timothy McVeigh.

I started smoking and stopped taking a shitload of medication that was causing me to be lethargic and eat shittily and dip all the time. Smoking weed actually gave me more energy and made me want to eat good food instead of shoppette stuff. While doing more for the pain than the meds ever did and more. Plus I didn't feel like dying.

I was on 4 OxyContin, 4 tramadol, 4 flexiril daily.

Jesus Christ, I think I'd die in my sleep just from the flexeril. That and cyclobenzoprine are two things that are guaranteed to provoke profound apneic episodes. After a single dose to zonk me out I'd wake up the next day groggy through half the day and completely lethargic, plus the worst splitting headaches I've ever felt outside of a genuine vomit-inducing migraine.

gently caress both of those meds, told my PA he could eat my rear end if he thought I was ever touching those again.

I think different schools do it differently, too. Mine was small enough that we did the entire graduating class, including undergrad, grad, law, and MBA students. Larger universities will sometimes do it by program or individual​ college.

Yeah I told my doc at the VA that I smoke pot and I am not touching that poo poo again like before. I have it around in case I have a very bad day and I actually need the meds, but I take 1. Never two.

I felt so bad all day.

"Weren't you high?"

You transcend feeling good and it's just a miserable numb hot flashy cold sweaty blob with no energy. Like my dick stopped working sometimes trying to get it up. I'm not but 30. If it's not the whiskey, it's a problem.

Cyclobenzoprine is Flexeril.
