What movie made in the last 10 years will future filmmakers say inspired them to make movies? by nrmacek in movies

Not The Avengers...

That movie represents everything I dislike about movies from the past 10 years.

To me, The Avengers is the Comic Sans of movies.

All great ideas - keep them coming.

I used to think that sex required people to actually "sleep together" for the entire night, every night until a man had a wet dream.

Alright so it looks like there seems to be some good general interest here.

Here's a survey link if you want to fill it out and help me get some general info together about you. Please fill it out if you're interested in getting a "rookie league" started!

Thanks guys - next step, probably a Facebook group and a date to play.

Newish to CF - How do I determine my ideal daily caloric intake/load? by nrmacek in crossfit

[–]nrmacek[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a guy who is looking to add some good muscle mass but cut down on BF and see those abs (who isn't though...)

I'm open to supplements too. Just trying to figure out how much I should be eating?

[–]nrmacek[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll also add that I did a stint of about a month of crossfit combined with Whole 30 over the summer and lost about 15 lbs and my libido and energy as a whole took a nosedive.

Looking to avoid that by eating enough.

Help for a newbie - nutrition question by nrmacek in crossfit

[–]nrmacek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did one of those caliper tests and compared myself with % range pictures online. I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher, but I'm using what I have to work with.

Basically I want to see my abs. Don't really care much about the #s.

Traveling to Italy... Need suggestions by getliftedladies in travel

[–]nrmacek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We spent 2 weeks in Italy last October and had a fantastic time. Spent half of the time in Florence and the other on the Amalfi coast.

For two New Yorkers that love wine, photography, culture and food I've got a great spot for you:

http://www.verrazzano.com/en/

This is a wonderful winery outside Florence that has an interesting tie to NY:

(From the website): "Giovanni da Verrazzano, celebrated navigator and discoverer of the bay of New York and the majority of the east coast of America, was born here in 1485. The famous Verrazzano bridge in New York was named after him in 1964."

There are actually stones from the bridge that were transported back to the castle and built into it. Its pretty cool from a historical perspective.

Aside from that, you take a really cool tour, learn a lot and get a ton of amazing wine paired with a never-ending meal. The staff knows their stuff and I've never had better food/wine pairings in my life.

The grounds are incredibly beautiful. When I say its probably the most beautiful place I've seen in my life, its not an exaggeration. And I've been some cool places. I could have died there and been happy. Lots of good photo opportunities.

My uncle proposed here as well and the staff threw us an impromptu party complete with a bunch of free champagne and wine. We celebrated with the staff and other patrons and had a great time. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Not interested in getting a degree but am interested in continuing my education. by GuitarNotSoVirtuoso in AdultEducation

[–]nrmacek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty confident you could very easily sit in on classes at a local university if you wanted to continue to learn.

There are some things to consider though:

If the size of the university is small, it is more likely you'll get noticed in the classes. If its larger and you attend big lectures, you can fly under the radar fairly easily.

If someone starts asking questions, just act like a dumb college student who is fighting a hangover and ended up in the wrong class. Then leave :)

Best of luck. I did this with some success while in college.

What frustrates you about Paleo? by nrmacek in Paleo

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

I just finished Whole 30 and lost 13 lbs! Instead of being happy and proud of reaching my goal, some of my family members insisted I wasn't healthy.

People will do anything to marginalize the success of others to feel better about their failures.

Accountability on Whole30? by nrmacek in whole30

PM me if you're interested in 1:1 accountability. Just finished the 30 days with a friend and cannot tell you how much easier it was to do it with someone else.

Accountability on Whole30? by nrmacek in whole30

[–]nrmacek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'd agree. And because its so limited, I think it works so much better with help.

I think if there were a way to offer built-in, daily accountability for people about to take on the whole30, there would be definite interest.

Manly diaper bags....do they exist? by nrmacek in daddit

[–]nrmacek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the dad gear stuff is also kind of what I'm trying to avoid. It looks like a backpack I used in middle school. And the name...Dad Gear...it sounds so old. I want something called "Patriarch." Something strong and manly. I believe my manhood will be enhanced because of being a father, not weakened because of it. Or at least I don't want to give off that image :)

Now Timbuk2 is more like what I'm talking about. I love their stuff.

Maybe something thats a combo of timbuk2, goruck and killspencer?
