If they are moving back home, then a road trip makes sense. All your stuff is going to take a while on the truck to get there. And you'd have to pay money to have your car(s) schlepped over.

It's pretty simple - if the person's name is not in their alias, don't link to it. No one needs to know that poo poo - it's not adding value and not needed. Derek is loving imbecile who can't keep his hands to himself and sit quietly and finally got what he deserved.

Exception : if the alias mentions many aliases that's an implicit invitation to discovering them, as per the T.O.A.S.T. rules.

That’s all BF %. Visible muscle separation occurs sub 15%. To get below 15%, go keto (nix all carbs), lift heavy, and ensure protein intake is sufficient to preserve lean mass. You can even try intermittent fasting, which gets good results on its own.

The key is to preserve lean mass as much as possible, since this will facilitate getting to low BF and seeing muscle separation (definition). In theory if you diet, without lifting, or eating enough protein, you will lose lean mass as much as you lose fat, keeping your BF % the same, and you’ll look like poo poo in the end. This is also known as the “skinny fats.”

Also, gently caress cardio. Don’t bother unless you really know what you are doing (most people don’t). Have an actual routine at the gym, lift heavy, and obey progressive overload principle.

The Mote in God's Eye

So guys, how are things?

The past few months I've been playing those "remastered" Baldur's Gate series, which is the simple and effective ying to the Star Citizen bloated, nonfunctional Yang. This is helped by DnD being entirely modular anyway, so adding characters and new classes/powers etc isn't a big deal - but it is still impressive how the developer took not much money and made Baldur's gate work on Ipads and support modern hardware. The most impressive bit of it is the Siege of Dragonspear expansion - in addition to feeling fairly natural, it reunited the Voice Actors who played the parts after, what, 20 years? Hearing David Warner as Irenicus again gave me chills, not to mention Jim Cummings doing Minsc again.

Anyway, uh, no real revelation there, another software product that owns Star Citizen by existing and working

Which I guess is basically all existing, working software :thunk:

Yoga is cool and good and maybe once I get a bit more svelte and flexible I'll start going to the local hottie yoga studio (above a Good Vibrations outlet lol) in the cool part of town. In the meantime I do this every day at home and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to be more flexible or has back issues and doesn't know where to start. My back used to suck but it's way better now and I'm more limber than friends a lot younger than I am.

Another fat fact: when you are that big you need a $pecial scale or you have to weigh yourself like an airplane (one scale under each foot and add them together for the total). My buddy did neither and would estimate based on visual appearance compared to last time the doctor weighed him on the fatty scale. Bathroom scales only go up to 300#, and the cost goes up exponentially beyond that due to (wait for it) economies of scale :v:



*he bought a fatguy bicycle that looked like a motorcycle with pedals and stopped eating entire pizzas in a sitting... lost a bunch a weight started dating a vegan chick and lost a bunch more and can ride normal bikes now.

CIG actually had to book 2 seats for Ben...
