Watched some streams of that game. Looks fun but I'm terrible at shooters so I'll stick to watching it.

Biking is fun, do it on trails. I know that probably isn't much of an option in flat rear end Indiana but goddamn you seem really close minded about the whole thing, Rhinoceros.

Forgive us for suggesting being less goony and going outside. I get the not wanting to ride on the road part, at least, but there are other options. To each their own.

I would never bike here in Detroit because the weather, roads, and drivers all suck rear end and I will die to one or a combination of them

lol I live in the Detroit area, pussy. :colbert:


Because of this thread, I just went and did a short bike ride through the neighborhood before it storms. :feelsgood:

How long do I give it before I go see a chiropractor?

See a real doctor instead, maybe? Sounds like you may have slipped a disc and/or pinched a nerve.

That is almost definitely a pulled muscle from sleeping funny, I do it all the time because my goddamn dog likes to sleep on top of me or push me out of bed :argh:

Sunday night after he got out of the shower? Yeah sounds like a "sleeping funny" issue especially with leg pain... See a real doctor and listen to the advice of people with back issues (herniated disc and surgery, here!).

Also sleeping with animals I find a bit gross. I like pets as much as the next guy but GTFO of my bed you dirty animal. :getout:

its definitely a muscle based on this which means the only thing they'll do is give you stronger ibuprofin and maybe a muscle relaxer and tell you to alternate between ice and heat

Stop spouting this poo poo off like you're a doctor. If you can't move, I'd go now and at least get it looked at.

If you choose not to go, I'd recommend ibuprofen and ice. Should help if it's inflammation.

Mine was a classic herniated disc (like a golf swing twisting injury, pretty common cause), was still misdiagnosed as back spasms, so they gave me drugs and sent me on my way. Years later it would flare up and pinch my sciatic nerve which would down me for a few days like this. Eventually it became constant and I got surgery. 5 years since then and I've had some minor flare ups but nothing too bad and no nerve pain anymore. I know my other discs above it are bulging post surgery (and they also start degenerating with age) so it's probably a matter of time. :v:

If you've never really lifted before, the first few months of weight lifting are incredible. You'll never see gains/progression like that again.

Had a similar problem after I started lifting. When doing low-back squats, my wrists were supporting the bar at a super hosed-up angle and by keeping them straight it got better and I didn't have to take any down time. Sucked for a while, though.

Your wrists and arms shouldn't be supporting the bar at all, it's all in the upper back. Make sure your shoulders are stretched out and try and put your hands as close together as possible on the bar, then lift your elbows up. This creates a perch on your upper shoulders/traps and you barely need any pressure at your hands to steady the bar.

That's how I've learned, at least. And no pad on the bar.

Grats. The rate you're losing weight doesn't seem healthy. Way too fast unless you were like 400 lbs.

Depends on what you want to spend and how much work you want to do on it. You could throw new parts at it but it's probably easier and better to get something new unless you're really strapped.

Just had an older guy with Oirish accent tried to sell me tools out the back of his van (I had a look, none were mine), and then wanted my postcode "because I have a friend who's lost somewhere near here and want to make sure we meet up"

Yeah, my arse. Logged it with 101 and gave them his reg number.

Fair play to the police, their reaction to "Man with Irish accent selling tools out back of van" was one step from "say no more fam".

What good does it do knowing your post code?

That's because you're a millenial and also why no one wants to let you guys run anything.

Not sure if this was directed at me or TT, but in the case of myself:

lol, because boomers are doing such a good job. :v: Both generations are terrible for different reasons.

I don't like being classified as a millennial just because I was born in that era ('85), but alas. There's a very distinct difference in people that grew up with cell phones vs. didn't. I have an attention span, no facebook and can carry on a conversation with people (as well as an engineer is able to) instead of staring at my phone. :colbert:

Nice. I wish my house were hard-wired with ethernet. I should do it (the upstairs is a mess with a bunch of old computers) but I really don't want to be going through walls and poo poo.

If it's just a room, use powerline adapters. I ran one to my computer upstairs and it was as fast as if it was plugged right into the router.

25 pounds lost. Almost makes up for the Miata still being a huge bitch.

I have progressive, I am way overinsured 3 vehicles paid off all have full coverage with 50-500 deductible (highest for new car). Should I use insurance or am I loving myself? I can pay anything out of pocket but why do I pay 1200 a year insurance? Or do I just say gently caress it leave it wrecked.

Also curious about this. Wife's car got hit when she was parked somewhere and I want to get it fixed but not sure to go through insurance or not.

I bought a 1070 about a year ago and it's been good for 3 monitor gaming (racing sims) but I don't know why anybody else would need something that powerful. It's pretty silly and awesome though but I rarely really need that much horsepower either. But why not. :getin:

The game that's going to come out on the pocket sized nintendo switch should run on something that's an old brick. And you probably have an engineering laptop with some actual balls anyway.

Buy your wife whatever the gently caress she wants, and she'll leave you alone about your cars. :v: I told her before marriage that cars are about the only thing I spend money on and she was fine with that. I've spent very little money on cars since and have kept this one for more 6 months! (not typical)

Even if it's what you want to do you start thinking about other priorities for time and money. I wouldn't put it all on the wife. Dunno, maybe I've just lost the car love as of late.
