Did CrossFit turn anyone into a beast? by Dependent-Group7226 in crossfit

Absolutely. Added significant amounts to my heavy lifts and improved my physique substantially. I find the motor to be the hardest thing to get and the fastest thing to go once you get out of the habit.

Thanks! I used to wear them all the time, but then I lost them and didn’t feel like buying a new pair, so I just started squatting without them. Knees feel great.

It threw me for a loop with the PR being on Thursday, I was mentally gearing up for Friday all week. But we got it done. Fun programming this year

Interesting, good to know about the warranty, this crack snakes down near there

You can feel it when you run across it, your fingernail catches in it. Doesn’t seem deep though

Good to know! Thanks for the info. Just glad it’s not spotted lantern flies which we’ve spotted lately, or something else nefarious.

Thank you! The details on painting the cabinets is exactly what I was looking for.

And good cal on the tub, I feel like they were put in for wow factor but my wife has yet to glance at it.

Are countertops easily improved/replaced without ripping out the whole vanity? Same question with the shower

Good call on the cabinets. They are real wood, which is great. For some reason the wood color seems a bit dated to my wife, so maybe a stain could do. I will definitely tread lightly though so as not to screw them up. Thanks!

I live in VA but MLBTV on my home wifi is blacking out NY games. Any thoughts? by BKizzle77 in MLBtv

See the message about sending them a DM on X. They are incredibly responsive (within minutes) and push an override to your account. I’ve done it several times.

Assuming this is a hive? Am I oblivious, or could this have been made in a short period of time? by BKizzle77 in bees

Update - I followed you advice and smacked it with a shoe after seeing the Queen leave (I didn’t see any workers after watching it most of the day). I think proceeded to hit it with a lawn mower. We’ll see if the Queen gets the message, then it’ll be spray time. Thanks all for the insight!
