I would like PUBG more if there was more incentive to not just camp a bathroom nearish the middle of the circle and wait to get forced out. I've played less than 10 games but I've been one of the last 10 alive a few of those times. If I get good poo poo early then I don't want to explore anymore because theres more chance of dying.

the way I play is loot up so I have some basics, usually an AR with an SMG/under-over shotty and a helmet and enough rounds to kill a dude who has better loot than me but less situational awareness than me. Pubbies have no idea how to respond to full aggro so I just go in guns/grenades blazing and shoot them in the face with decent results. Yesterday I rolled up on two dudes who had no idea I was behind them and killed them with my micro uzi then got HELLA loot from them after having a lovely spawn.

I think we just got our 8th chicken dinner last night? it was pretty good

I kind of passed on PUBG when it first launched but if you guys do semi-regular pubstomps then I might pick it up. Looks like a good way to blow off some steam.

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.

Not all of us live in parts of the country / world that are nice most of the time

Why do you think I get up at 4am and I'm in the office at 6? Cause I like the early shift?

It's not being defensive to correctly point out that successful and continuous weight loss and continued exercise is about lifestyle and continued success isnt usually done with machines.

As many cycling goons have found out, you get a bike and you will in a few months find out mere mortals quite regularly and easily find 6 hours to ride a bike. Married with kids, long work hours, prefer to stay in bed wanking, doesnt matter. Endorpins are awesome even in winter

FOX 9 MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL: Local goon has died today after attempting to ride bicycle to work in misguided attempt for mancard points and internet bragging rights. "I dont know why he decided to ride his bike today", Mrs. Goon said last night, "the snow was four feet deep and not even cars were attempting to go out today."

Mr. Goon hit an ice patch and fell to his death in front of an salt truck. His memorial service is to be announced.

So Sunday night I took a hot shower. After I got out, my back started absolutely loving killing me. I could hardly walk. Had to walk stiff as a board, couldn't lean over without pain shooting through my back and right thigh.

Monday I could barely get out of bed. I did, and throughout the day my back loosened up and by the end of the day I was mostly OK. A little stiff but that was about it.

This morning, again, I could barely get out of bed. It feels mostly better now, but I'm still walking funny.

I didn't lift anything over the weekend. I haven't twisted it in any weird way that I can remember. What the gently caress?

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

see an actual doctor who wont paralyze you further, friend

muscle relaxers will get that fixed for you in three days (or at least make it so you can stretch it out and sort out the pulled muscle)

How long do I wait until I see a real doctor, then? I keep hearing that it'll go away on its own, and I'm only on day two. In the meantime I'm taking ibuprofin and using a heating pad, both of which help quite a bit.

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

There's a good chance I would have not compromised my floor joists knowing what I know now. But the damage has been done and the cost to fix it is essentially the same as it is to continue with my original plan. I may not use my tub much, but I also don't remodel things as a bachelor. My closet was designed with a woman in mind, despite not being married. Likewise, my bathroom is designed with a woman in mind. It will have a powder room that will be completely useless to me, but is the kind of thing a woman would look at and say, OMG I want this. In the same vein, if a woman sees a nice inviting looking bathtub they are going to swoon. And since woman play an unfair role in the home-buying process, a woman who falls in love with my bathroom is going to help me sell my home (someday). You may not like the design, but I assure the finished product will exceed your expectations.

20 hours a week is a lot of loving video game time! I still want to play them, but maybe like an hour a day at most.

I've lost 20lbs in two months. I've cut all sugary juices out of my diet and all fried food. Previously I ate fried chicken 3 times a week, 5 Guys twice a week etc. I buy and eat fruit, low calorie foods, cook at home 5 days a week now.

For exercise I hit the elliptical every day for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes depending on how much time I have. Three days a week I'm doing a basic weight routine.

The biggest change is I got off my rear end and decided to make a goddamned change. Anyone who knows me in person can attest to how lazy I was, I didn't want that anymore. My friend's murder was a major motivator to make this happen.

And I'm 5 pounds away from my 90 day goal and I have an entire month left to hit it.

If it makes you feel better I have three nights a week to myself and I go to the gym before binging on video games for 9 hours

That was the end of really a series of events, yes. We also have a young horse who is very submissive. The older horse was increasingly aggressive, and the feed stalls were an attempt to give the young horse the ability to eat in peace. It worked for almost a week, then every day the older horse got more aggressive until it ended in the fence incident.

More concerning than the damage, was before that happened my wife was standing by the young horse who was eating, guarding him with a whip, while the older aggressive horse circled back and forth like a shark, turning and acting like he was going to kick. Not even remotely normal horse (prey animal) behaviour.

Isn't that like some old world horse poo poo or wild horse or something? Maybe he was just a bittervet

I am hesitant to post this, as I can see it can be looked at multiple ways. But yesterday in Nashville on a 4 lane road (5 if you count turning lane) wife and I approach a funeral procession on opposite side (oncoming). Police and highway patrol were not involved but beat to hell 20 year old Caprices with purple flashing lights. We slowed to under 5 miles an hour and I saw 5-10 cars slowly get in right lane and proceed at sub 5 mph. Now it is a custom in TN amd one I respect to stop for funerals. But we were in (or I was in) a rush and so I in the left lane approach at sub 5 mph and when I get to the front where this "patrol car" is I start sliding to the right and this jackass tatted head to toe rent a cop wannabe jumps in front of my car and won't let me pass on oncomi side! I motion for him to get the gently caress out of the way and he flags the other two cars and they come and box me in! Sirens wailing purple lights flashing. He is yelling get out of the car and please remember these are 20!year old shitbixes with their transport company logos crudely painted on the side. Without saying anything else about what I think or feel what do y'all think about this situation? I am open to criticism if you think I was in the wrong.

Call the police and tell them that these plates were driving aggressively and attempting to run you off the road

G'day.
I feeling a whole lot better now since I got rid of my rotary poo poo. Annoys me that 7 years ago I had almost rust free cars and 50k in the bank so could have spent 15k and had nice cars to own and drive for a short time and made 50k easy. Instead I let them rot and spent the 50k on buying a house and starting a business, both of which ended up badly. Well I still made 50k on the house but had to watch the rotaries get hosed up and I know which result would have made me happier...

Anyway, now I've got money in the bank for the first time in 5 years, a falcon ute to fix and re-licence with 9k to blow on that and my next car (unsure if I will keep the ute. Will probably only keep it for moving house and if I need to store stuff in it or sleep in the tray). It's loving nice to have a plan that's not overwhelming and have the cash to back it up for the first time in 7 years. Such a relief.
Looking at a bmw as well, but people not so helpful in AI anymore it seems. Anyway, people are just starting to chuck any motor in e30 and e34 and I think they're a good buy if I just get a nice stock one and hold onto it. Years ago people were chucking rotaries and v8 or 6cyl turbos into everything rwd (datsuns, corollas, sigmas etc) , they've only just started doing it to bmws but it still hasn't caught on yet which is weird for a well known rwd platform.
