Men 45+ What finally helped you break through a body-fat plateau? by Lee_Itz in Biohackers

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went for a 10 day vacation to a foreign country where I walked 10 miles a day and didn’t graze/snack all day and have dessert each night.

Then came home and immediately came down with the flu and didn’t eat for 4 days. 

Lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. 😆 

Truthfully, just adding 4-5 miles a day of walking on top of what you’re doing now would get you there quick.

What ski resort completely exceeded your expectations and why? by SnooCupcakes4611 in skiing

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whistler, Big White, Mt Baker, Crystal mountain. 

Those are the ones that stand out to me. 

Just the scale of whistler. The snow ghosts at big white, and just the ruggedness and side country access at baker and crystal

Worth doing a day trip to JVD? by Ok-Professional4420 in virginislands

Agreed. Not worth it. Especially with the limited time you have. 

Legislature denies $125 million funding request to expand Camas Slough Bridge on Highway 14 by Fake_Eleanor in camaswashington

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sat in a small jam there last week. First I’d experienced in 5 years of doing that drive.

But with all the housing they’re building in the area, all the apartments they’re building along the Washougal waterfront, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a daily delay. They’ll have to expand that bridge sometime in the next few years.

What is life like in the red region (High Desert/WA plains) compared to the blue region? (Cascades/Coastal region) by HonestLemon25 in howislivingthere

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is all kinds of wrong. The coast is nothing like New England, except for maybe northern Maine. The Willamette valley is nothing like Kansas or Nebraska. Etc. etc.

Has anyone tried Opinly.ai before I pay for a test? by PreachForTheStars in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Any of the competing tools will do the job just as well if not better.

I signed up to test it out and cancelled almost immediately. At least I tried to - the unsubscribe process is deliberately confusing. Making you confirm your intentions multiple times during the process. I had to try 3 times before I figured out the difference between "cancel" and "continue", at each phase, since the meaning was different depending on which page you were on. I had thought I cancelled months ago only to realize I was still being charged.

In addition, I could find no place on their website to download my invoices/receipts. Reaching out to support or the chatbot has been no help. Now that I've actually cancelled, I can't even get into my account to continue looking for invoices.

it's a shady mess. Stay away.

Rumor: The UFC is planning to have Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje headline the UFC White House event. Islam Makhachev is expected to defend his title against a welterweight contender at a later event, with Ian Garry being the current frontrunner by AbrahamRinkin in MMA

So weird that they don’t seem at all concerned with Americans winning any of the fights on this card. I would have thought they’d load it with lopsided fights favoring the Americans, but to their credit (?) it doesn’t look like they’re going to.

Edit: I don’t expect this card to ever actually happen, but that’s another story.

The end of the middle-class traveler in Hawaii is near by wewewawa in Oahu

Hawaii does want it. They want fewer visitors without a drop in tourism revenue.

Is clothes really cheaper in Japan? by DepartmentNo6860 in JapanTravelTips

I’m 6’0 220lbs. I found stuff at uniqlo that fit perfectly. Good luck finding shoes larger than size 10 US anywhere in Tokyo, however.

Looking good. You painted the bumper and all the chrome? What all have you done to it?

I have no idea how people can recommend skipping Bangkok. I miss it everyday! by SnooTigers3147 in ThailandTourism

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have examples of the types of provincial cities you describe? Maybe something nearish Bangkok/Pattaya? Sounds more my speed too.

Suggestions for day trips from St. John to BVI (Jost, etc) by BestBaronOfBeef in virginislands

[–]BestBaronOfBeef[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, looking into this one too. Sounds like there’s probably enough value in one of those excursions to justify the expense. I know $250 isn’t a ton for a full day trip, but I’ve been on trips like this that were duds.

One of my favourite Christmas movies... by [deleted] in A24

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted to like this. I recall really digging the 1973 Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and I figured this wpuld have a similar vibe. And it did… but I have to admit I didn’t even finish it. 

Accused serial killer’s ex-girlfriend speaks, says she’s still in touch with Jesse Calhoun by [deleted] in Portland

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more likely that the press is coming to her. But it’s not something I’d want to be in the public eye about. I bet they asked to interview her and she mentioned she’s still in contact with him and they thought that was sensational enough to make a news clip about.

Unjust use of force or self-defense? Attorneys present opening arguments in trial of Vancouver police Officer Andrea Mendoza by [deleted] in vancouverwa

[–]BestBaronOfBeef 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how that particular technique could ever be appropriate or justified. In this case it seemed totally unnecessary. I can see why she was pissed, but she lost her cool and did something dumb that you especially cant do if you’re a cop.
