My friend's dad died suddenly yesterday, he was a Bengals fan and one of my first thoughts was "I hope he at least got to watch the Steelers get punted out of the playoffs".

I wish I had a yard, or even adequate sunlight in my apartment, for growing stuff because I'd definitely plant some herbs.Years ago I helped a friend of my mom's plant a tomato garden and it turned out OK I guess.

Quiet Feet posted:We grew some squash, jalapeños and tomatoes two years ago. The tomatoes were pretty blah and we didn't get too many zucchinis but the jalapeños grew lile crazy, which was a pleasant surprise. Our house has tall trees on three sides and theres only one small section of driveway that gets sunlight worth a drat, so I wasn't expecting much. I'll probably only do the peppers this year. Grow red jalapeños and send them to me TIA

I have my office to myself today which means that when someone makes me mad I can just "what the gently caress is wrong with you" instead of internalizing it like usually. Extremely healthy IMO

Shaving owns but drop that three-blade poo poo and get a double edge safety razor, a shaving brush and some shaving cream. I loving love shaving now. I really want a big dog but my wife and I need to buy our own place first and I don't want to buy until the economy actually collapses.

Probably Magic posted:What's you guys's recipe for Masaman curry? That's one of my favorites. Now that I'm done driving 10 hours from my parents' place... -Can coconut milk. We use Aroy-D or Chaokoah (sp.) -Can Maesri brand Masaman curry paste -Yellow or white onion -Garlic -Thai chiles (Masaman is a less spicy curry so feel free to go as light as you want here) -Sweet potato (totally non-traditional, but really good) -Protein (usually chicken for us) -Thai basil for garnish -Sugar, lime, and fish sauce for taste Cut up your protein and veggies, then fry the garlic and chiles with a bit of oil and a third or so of the paste. Toss in the protein with another 1/3 of the paste can, then once that's cooked add your veggies with the rest of the paste. Stir it all up until the veggies are cooked through, then add the whole can of coconut milk and stir until all of the paste is dissolved. Bring to a boil, then simmer and season with lime and fish sauce. If it's too spicy, add sugar to the desired heat level. Eat now over rice with basil leaves or simmer it for however long you want and really get the flavor going. Thai curry is really easy to make. Maybe someday we will learn how to make curry paste from scratch but I haven't had home-cooked Thai curry that didn't just use paste from a can.

For a long time while we were dating my wife was adamant about needing to have kids before 30 or she would get cancer later in life, and now that we're both 29 she's the one saying "why would you want to bring a life into our impending nuclear holocaust", as if she's the one who's been reading this forum for years and not me  Despite how hard a lot of people make having kids out to be I still want one, maybe two. But at the same time nearly everyone I know who has is or is thinking about having them has one of three things going for them: -Lots of money -Family nearby -A stay-at-home work setup And I don't see my wife and I having any of those in the near future. We said we'd re-evaluate when we bought our own place (likely next year) but who knows. Probably Magic posted:Thanks for this! I have adamant curry at H-Mart all the time and want try it out at home. No problem, like I said curry is really easy to make but it's always a hit when we do.

Neil Armbong posted:The reality is there will never be a perfect time. You need someone to have flexible/open PTO because kids get sick at the worst time. Parents nearby alleviates this a bit, but poorer and dumber people successfully raise kids all the time, so where there's a will there's a way. Yeah I'm sure we'll get there eventually but there's a couple things that I want to fall in place first (namely a better job for me and our own place). My parents aren't pressuring us to have kids right now and hers are actually advising us not to, even though I think they are secretly desperate for grandkids

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Nice. I've considered a short term ultra strict diet to lower my body fat (I'm currently 160lb at 5'9 with pretty good muscle) but I just love carbs too much to do it. I'm also currently still at an age where I'm able to consume upwards of 5,000 calories in a single evening and lose it within 2 days so I want to keep takin advantage of that while I can. A guy I work out with used to be pretty chubby but has cut a bunch of weight in the last year or so on the back of a few of those 30-day clean diets. I should really do it one month but I have a completely out-of-control sweet tooth so lol I ran competitively in HS/college and continue to run and lift to this day so my metabolism is good enough that I can eat kind of like poo poo and still maintain my weight.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:I wonder if it helps that I always eat everything in a 4-5 hour window during the evening. Not for a conscious reason, that's just when I feel like eating. I think one of my problems is that on the nights where I go workout I'm never home until 8:30 at the earliest and not eating dinner until 9 or even 10 depending on what else is going on. Then I eat a bunch because I just worked out and go to bed like an hour or two later. This is the second thread that I've read this week that says "don't eat breakfast", I eat an actual breakfast daily and I'm still real drat hungry by 1 PM when I eat lunch but I might try cutting back on the breakfast a bit (usually a wheat bagel and a smoothie)

axeil posted:I just went running tonight for the first time in forever As someone who's been running for over 15 years, the thing that matters most about running is that you just get out there and do it on a repeated basis. Even if you can't muster up to stick to 5 every day, just get out there and do some running. Also doing 5+ miles a day on 1400 sounds depressing, I used to have a running watch that calculated calories burnt during a run and 5 miles would be like 6-700 calories. I miss having a running buddy, mine moved over the summer and there's this girl I work out with sometimes and I keep saying "yo hmu and let's run" but she's failed to get back to me enough times that she's probably trying to hint at something

lol thank you for using spoiler tags after I said I hadn't finished the game, my wife was really into watching me play for a while and when I stopped playing it she looked up the ending and has been threatening to spoil me on it ever since, even though I think I know where it's going  (I do know who Seven is though)Actually wait while I have your attention how the gently caress do I get Shulk's fourth ability tree or whatever? I was told I need to do enough sidequests in the starter town to make a certain person like me enough but I just can't seem to make it work despite wringing that place dry of quests.

Yeah I'm one or two zones past where you get Seven but still no luck. Gonna have to poke around some more, my wife is flying to her parents for a few weeks over the holidays and finishing this game is near the top of my to-do list while she's gone.
