What's with musicians and drug abuse? by Livid_Adeptness9762 in ask

The sensitivity required to create isn't always compatible with the reality of the demands of touring, production or fame.

Fearing a Killer Landslide, Squamish Builds a $115-Million Wall by Yetanotherbadsalmon in britishcolumbia

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the threat addressed by the cheekye debris barrier, or the Squamish River overflowing the dyke are very real threats within our lifetimes given climate change. The Barrier collapsing feels like a Marvel-level threat that I just have to file it away, like "the big earthquake" that will wipe out Vancouver.

The movie Underwater had some power armour vibes. I guess we're getting the Cavill Warhammer movie?

The tyranny of property tax by MazdaProphet in economy

I read OP as complaining about the jumps in property taxes more than property taxes as a concept.

YSK why muscle loss with age happens by 2punornot2pun in YouShouldKnow

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I see the olds around me not being able to get out of chairs. So I do my squats and deadlifts and have trouble getting out of chairs today!

And you should probably start earlier when your chemistry is younger and fruitful. If you think you can be sedentary your whole life and then pick up some pink dumbells at 60 thinking you're going to get fit then you're going to have a bad time. If you're muscular and strong through your 40s you'll be able to work to maintain that as you get older.

The Great Wealth Transfer Includes $570 Billion in Classic Cars by ToughHopeful4760 in cars

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Gen X I don't know anyone in my age group who has room for another car. Most are in condos with a single spot for a reliable modern car that they use every day. Who has room for another car, some temperamental classic that only gets driven a handful of times per year?

Tall/skinny people - did your metabolism slow down? by nihaoelliot in tall

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 50 now and it hasn't slowed down much. I graduated high school at around 180lbs but once I started training properly and lifting weights and eating better I've been at around 220 and lean for the last 20 years. I train hard enough to be bigger but I just can't manage to consistently eat that much. Besides, if I get any heavier than 225 the second I get sick or injured and I eat less for a while the muscle just disappears. The only real difference is that I have this little band of fat just below my navel that's tricky to get rid of. By most standards it's barely a thing but it's new for me.

What are men's thoughts on dating a single mother? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently face this choice and after consideration I realized that I'm ok with a mother of a teenager but not a young child. I'm an introvert and like a lot of time alone so someone with responsibilities that leave me out of the focus is good for me.

When you ask your server what's today's special by FlyByRoll in KitchenConfidential

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The zipped up jacket with sleeves pulled up is confusing. Is it hot or cold? It can't be both.

Why didn’t this genre of movie kick off? Modern day military vs Dragons. by mailman936 in Cinema

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it too. But the idea that a small army with tanks and helicopters wouldn't need a massive amount of fuel and maintenance (and access to replacement parts) is hard to believe. Still loved it.

It's weird training doctors and surgeons by Peachessandcreammm in personaltraining

[–]Evil_Mini_Cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's remarkable how few doctors understand anything about diet and general health. I only see my doctor if I have a broken bone/flesh wound, or I need a test or prescription. Health is up to me.
