General Dog posted:Deciding to just go ahead and die at 80 rather than doing chemo isn’t the craziest thing in the world. I'm kind of with you there. He got to wear the cool hat and robes and will go down in the history books as King. No need to put any actual effort into it. Intruder posted:Five years after getting your degree not a single potential employer will give a poo poo what your GPA was anyway Five? I'd say that your GPA doesn't matter after you have a year+ of work experience to point to. Pretty sure I dropped mine from my resume after getting my first job.

The King is constantly hearing the "your life force is running out" voice from the 1980s arcade hit, Gauntlet and has chosen to shove a quarter in his butthole every time. Please respect his use of this traditional natural remedy.

For the record I’m not naive enough to think GPA matters to employers, but just personally obsessing to try and nail down the material as An Old and distinguish myself in transfer applications and maybe grad school if I decide to make that move.swickles posted:I thought they said it was prostate cancer last week. I think they found it during prostate procedure but specifically denied it being prostate. Led to some speculation of colon but maybe he’s just one huge sentient met at this point.

Totally, it was part of my PT routine a few years back rehabbing my knee, good stuff! And thankfully I’m still active enough the skiing came back pretty quick, it was just funny the disconnect between my brain being so ready and my legs not having the same easy recall for what was once second nature Edit: on the subject of getting physically ready for stuff, I was looking ahead to this summer and hoping to get into the Enchantments in Washington, ideally backpacking if I can win an overnight permit in the lottery, otherwise I’m thinking I’ll do the one day route. 20-22 miles, big elevation but mostly within my comfort zone, the exciting bit will be Aasgard Pass, wherein you gain 2000 feet in just 1 mile. Gonna be getting really familiar with the stairmaster this spring! Thaddius the Large fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Feb 8, 2024 |

My daughter wants to go ice skating and learn to roller skate, and although I used to be a pretty passable skater and rollerblader (thanks Mighty Ducks and Airborne lol), I’m nervous that my ligaments are going to shoot out of my knees and hips and ankles like an abandoned cartoon couch.

Ice skating is the devil. We used to have a roller rink and an ice skating rink back to back. I tried one loop around the ice skating rink, nearly cracked my ankle in half, noped out of there, got my money back and went roller skating. 20+ years later, we were on a cruise ship that had a ice skating rink. I tried again, made one loop, busted my butt, and I’m done with ice skating.

Roller blading was much easier to get back at and feel confident since I did that way more than ice skating. i picked up my first new pair of skates in over 2 decades and have been digging it. ice skating i'm passable, but have lost a lot of the confidence I used to have. he did a few rounds of ice skating lessons and I think that has helped with skiing and now rollerblading. kiimo posted:Maybe just stay off Devil's Backbone was moon doggie augie one of jack black's first roles? that and mighty ducks definitely kicked off a decade plus of roller blading for me and my friends.

Stretching is now part of any pre-workout routine I do. Hiking I do 2-4 miles at least once a week with a 45-50lb pack so when it's backpacking season I'm ready for it. Running is still the worst. If I don't stretch beforehand I'm a mess. Also any outdoor weekend ends with me soaking in an epsom salt bath when I get home. Welcome to  .

Weirdly ice skating is the easiest of all these things for me, maybe because I've skied so much. The first time I tried ice skating it felt as natural as walking. I kind of wish I grew up in a hockey area maybe I'd have been good

My big goal this summer is to do all the Paradise trails on Rainier and then some of the more challenging ones on towards the base. Maybe do some hiking on Mt Adams too when I drag my gf to my childhood home town since I also want to go the Maryhill Museum (and winery now??).

I woke up early to drive a friend to the airport and I also have a doctors appointment, but between the two I had some free time. What does one do with it? Hike a dormant volcano. View from the top overlooking the city was kinda nice.  Keep Portland Weird.  Apparently my sleep doctor's a big Star Wars fan.

I tried one loop around the ice skating rink, nearly cracked my ankle in half, noped out of there, got my money back and went roller skating. I think I went ice skating about three times as a kid, and my memory of it was that I would always have just gotten the hang of it when it was time to leave. Also if we're talking about old people injuries, I tweaked my lower back lifting weights last night. Nothing even all that heavy. Fun!

The Target near my house had 2 employees walk out at the beginning of their shift. Trick is they were the ones that ran the self-checkout lines so the entire store was in a mini-bedlam with long lines as other employees had to scramble & work registers. #firstworldproblems #automation

Man I’d love to do that yearly but the permit lottery gods have not been kind. North Cascades was a great alternative and shockingly accessible, like once we got past Seattle traffic there was almost nobody around and the National Park was free! Trailheads definitely got packed by midday, but so long as you’re willing to get an early start it’s a nonissue

Neil Armbong posted:Roller blading was much easier to get back at and feel confident since I did that way more than ice skating. Inline to ice is weird because it's the same almost all of the time, but everything is just a little bit funky. Like I said upthread somewhere when we briefly talked skating the one major thing that will really mess you up is if you're going fast and try to hockey stop, because all of your weight needs to be on the exact opposite foot of what you're used to. We're all getting older now so my method of learning by going fast and trying poo poo and falling down is probably not recommended anymore to anyone in here.

I completed ice skating lessons in December. I still can't really skate backwards and am not great at hockey stopping, but I can get around an ice rink just fine, and if I find myself falling, I know how to brace for impact better to minimize getting hurt (literal first lesson was teaching how to brace for a fall, then getting back up). Coolest part was that after I finished it, I was able to get tickets to go skating after the winter classic was held at T-Mobile Park

I did open skates in high school but have barely been on the ice since. I bought skates a couple years ago as my son has been playing hockey for 5 years now. I guess we're doing a kids vs parents hockey game at the end of the season so I'm gonna get clowned by a bunch of 9 and 10 year olds.

My gf and I live together and I guess I’ve always loaded the dishwasher. I like doing it, I like the “puzzle” and organization aspect of it. She loaded it this time and put a small plate on the top rack and a couple cups on the bottom. Just blatant disregard of Where Things Go. Oh no.
