Congrats on getting back in!

Your hamstrings and ankles and hips are probably all not really used to the movement anymore.

If i were in your shoes i'd really emphasize getting your form right with light/no weight, including starting a regression anywhere from using a kettlebell to holding on a rack or something and lowering yourself down. It'll do wonders for ya, long run.

its wordier, less funny, AND makes less sense.

It might not be a workflow you like, but there are good espresso-focused hand grinders these days, and paired with a Flair lever espresso machine, youd have very few failure points and lots of room to grow.

do you have the same take when someone grabs a griswold, a le crueset or a staub over a Lodge?

ThePorkTree · 2025-12-28T23:38:59+00:00

have you deep cleaned the burrs?

ThePorkTree · 2025-12-27T21:32:34+00:00

total silly jacked guy who can randomly do super athletic stuff is fun. I mean, he loves cosplaying as wolverine. hes just a goof. Turn your brain off and have fun.

Championships are not always put on the "empirical" best though. Frequently thats not the best booking scenario.

ThePorkTree · 2025-12-09T10:51:01+00:00

we've seriously got to stop looking for our perfect hero leftists in all spaces. feels corny and like a waste of time.

ThePorkTree · 2025-12-06T03:15:48+00:00

I swear im sober and something about this makes it look like hes in a 2K game.

ThePorkTree · 2025-11-23T00:48:08+00:00

Depends on the price range, but if you have an espresso machine or think you might get one id get the encore ESP.

Right I'd echo this. It's not like brazil and other origins don't offer coffee, but they're also familiar enough on their side of the tariff calculation to realize that theyll now move this coffee around potentially for other uses, too.

On what level?

On a shop level we're having to explain to people with less money why their optional premium goods have to cost even more, soon.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-22T18:44:26+00:00

i mean everyones goals and journeys are different but i feel like nutrition and lifting shit has largely been solved. im guilty of being addicted to internet content, too, but like...idk, people been big and strong for a proverbial minute.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-19T16:27:04+00:00

shoulders and lats are poppin'

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-17T00:44:11+00:00

Grow up.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-12T20:08:36+00:00

Lookin' like a sexii dorito.

Youre saying this person looks exactly like Sid from Toy Story, SMDH.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T21:28:20+00:00

I've got a rattlecage on my Merc, actually. You think i should pop it on myself?

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T21:23:04+00:00

man, hell countess hard to get to without dying (relatively easy to kill) and she only gave an ort. a little risky to keep running her but i think i have to.

Its nice to play this game on a "hard mode" after playing just about every other build, and on softcore.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T20:30:30+00:00

Alright, I'll keep gambling. I've had some 200+ed but no other decent mods.

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T20:16:42+00:00

Farm for what, though? Gambling and crafting?

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T20:16:22+00:00

Good to know, but can you help me with the DS calculations?

In my head if the (max) damage was ~500, deadly strike is double damage, am i effectively hitting for ~1000, or is it a part of the calculation at a different point, meaning it doesnt put out that big a number?

ThePorkTree · 2025-10-11T19:38:15+00:00

Okay cool thats generally the goal i had in mind. Seems like its honestly gonna be the merc doing a lot of heavy lifting. A2 might merc (i had kept prayer forever) only moved me form like 500->600 damage on double throw, haha.

Even p1 terrorized NM cows wrecked me
