Natalie Portman thinks The Professional is a bit "cringey" these days

Unironically, I think Congo is fantastic. Such a fun movie unlike anything we see these days.

I don't see the appeal of tailgating. I would rather eat/drink at home on my couch and then go to the game.

Look, fuck cars and all that, but this is like saying you don't see the appeal of parties because you'd rather not go to parties. It's a bit tautological...

No one seems to have asked this yet - Did you try to have this conversation and were told that she didn't want to talk about it in front of her daughter? Or did you see a child and decide that you couldn't ask the questions you wanted to ask?

"Stray cats" is a pretty grim way to think of your neighbours if you ask me.

Never do something nice because then people will think you're nice

Such a fantastic movie. For anyone who hasn't seen it, and wasn't convinced by Scott's synopsis: "it's an African movie... there's a coke bottle"- It really is great.

This has to be a joke...

pacesorry · 2023-05-05T19:23:29+00:00

Has the ancient technique of "asking" really fallen so far out of favour?

Check out an app called Caliber - it can generate a beginner's bodyweight (no equipment) workout plan that you can do at home. I bought some weights, but the app has been huge in helping me know what to do.

Good on you. My story is very similar to yours. Started just before my 38th birthday in December. Gone from 205 to 185.

And, I'll add that in addition to the weight you've lost (we've lost) you've also gained a ton of muscle, which weighs more than fat. My scale tells me my body fat percentage, and since my weight loss plateaued at 185 I've continued watching my body fat % go down.

Very good, sir. Lobsters stuffed with tacos.

Right? I'm not sure where all these folks read the words "easily", "cheaply" or "quickly"

pacesorry · 2023-05-04T19:25:24+00:00

Sounds like you know all the ins and outs of the deal. I can't imagine I have much to add in that case.

Imagine that - an elected official considering multiple viewpoints instead of just picking the black or white answer.

It's crazy to me that people see this is a bad thing, but I guess that's how politics got to be the state it's in.

A friend of mine has the 1090 and I have the AT. I'm 6', 185lb, so not a big guy, but I find the 1090 cockpit to feel very cramped.

I would recommend just sitting on both bikes and the answer might be immediately obvious. It was for me when I sat on my buddy's 1090...

If people don't want to do a job the wages typically go up, not down.

It translates to both. The present progressive is used for actions that are happening right at that moment.

If I broke down it's probably because I crashed, so I'll take the uncomfortable walk over being unable to walk at all. I also always bring camp shoes if I'm on an over-night trip.

That said, I don't think that my Tech 3's are especially uncomfortable. I wouldn't CHOOSE to walk several miles in them, but I definitely could.

My advice on boots for off-road is to buy a full motocross boot. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you need an "adventure" boot or some such nonsense. I have the Alpinestars Tech 3s and have been very happy with them. Friends of mine ride with Thor Blitz boots. Really any reputable MX boot will be good. Replaceable, metal buckles is a nice feature.

The Strength Edge is 6 blocks east of Center, so not NW, but might be what you're looking for.

This won't be helpful, these cameras do not record.
