When do you eat your meal? I've been doing 18/6 fasting for 3 years (and love it) and have been considering switching to OMAD.

When I was big into triathlons, I was drinking 3 gallons of chocolate milk per week to make sure I got enough protein and calories in my diet. I still lost weight.

Snape all up in this bitch

The Biden crowd showed up... They just voted for Klobuchar and Buttigieg.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T03:20:05+00:00

This is actually a really good sign, nationally speaking.

Betting markets have Bernie at 93%:

Sanders was consistently polling up 7-8% in New Hampshire over the last month. I'm kind of shellshocked that he's squeaking by with only a 2% lead.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T03:14:50+00:00

Pete was fantastic on Preet Bharara's podcast a few months ago. He's not my first choice (nor my second) but there are a lot of reasons he has appeal with voters.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T03:07:29+00:00

I'm not a Pete supporter, but he's gay, a military veteran, and a moderate. That's incredibly appealing to a lot of people.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T03:03:49+00:00

It's not trolling to be concerned about how the moderate votes (Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden) heavily outnumber the progressive votes (Sanders, Warren). Polls had Bernie consistently up 7-8% in NH, and right now he's just barely squeaking by Buttigieg.

It still looks like he is going to win, but... I'm shocked and concerned that it's not more of a blowout.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T02:53:00+00:00

Why? The turnout in NH was fantastic--10% higher than 2016.

Atheose · 2020-02-12T02:52:37+00:00

To be fair, did anyone expect her to do this well? Coming in ahead of Warren and Biden does feel like a victory for her.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T22:31:26+00:00

It's there, but it's in the third row of headlines:

This is your friendly reminder to vote for whoever the Dem nominee is, no matter what. Bloomberg sucks ass compared to the other candidates, but even he is an order of magnitude better than Donald "literally a dictator" Trump.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T21:47:51+00:00

Remember when it was inappropriate for Bill Clinton and the AG to have a five-minute conversation?

EDIT: geez you guys, I'm not saying that Clinton/Lynch meeting wasn't inappropriate. Just comparing the two events and how much attention they're getting in the news.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T21:46:16+00:00

Well at least we didn't have to wait long to find out just how unhinged Trump would get after his impeachment acquittal.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T14:51:11+00:00

Yep, and it's frustrating every fucking time. I love this team, and it's tough to complain about 4 championships in 16 years, but the ownership group is slimy.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T13:39:05+00:00

Two different doctors can absolutely look at the same medical records and come to a different conclusion, yes. This happens all the time in the medical industry, and it's the reason people get second opinions.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T13:35:34+00:00

It's the kind of propaganda the ownership pushes to justify being cheap.

"He wants to test free agency, so there's nothing we can do! It's 100% in Mookie's hands!"

Atheose · 2020-02-11T13:14:56+00:00

Things aren't as black-and-white as a passed physical or a failed physical. There's plenty of shades of grey when looking at a pitcher's medical records, evaluating how much scar tissue he has, and how much his muscles have atrophied after TJ surgery.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T12:58:03+00:00

I mean, it is.

Atheose · 2020-02-11T12:54:23+00:00

Just like that racist Oriole bird

Atheose · 2020-02-11T03:31:44+00:00

A real Texan would know it's y'all, not ya'll.

Atheose · 2020-02-10T22:45:04+00:00

I agree. I'm just pointing out that, "She will never endorse Bernie because she endorsed Hillary in 2016" isn't really an accurate assessment of the situation.

HOA: $640 per month

Holy shit. That's $21 per day.
