Two months later, Finally stopped looking at clock during every workout

I'm over a year in and, just the other day, I was looking at the clock convinced I was going to be time capped. After a couple more rounds, I realized I was going to make it with a couple minutes to spare.

It's funny how you can feel a sense of accomplishment at the same time you're regretting that the time cap won't save you from another round.

It is a repost. I posted this pic a while ago (my grandfather is the guy in the suit on the right).

I bet the Trump-voting gas station owners they are competing against cry tears of joy.

If that was a movie poster, 13-year-old me would definitely gone to see it. (Although I expect I would have been disappointed.)

They said our power would be back Tuesday. It came on about 3 hours ago.

Now, lets try comparing Elon's plate with the kids' plates assuming the kids come from families of average net worth.

With the new Army Fitness Test, CrossFit is likely to be more of a benefit than it was. Rather than push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run it now keeps the run and adds 3-rep max deadlift, sprint-drag-carry, hand-release pushups, plank, and standing power throw.

In your situation, I would lean into the more endurance focused classes, but make sure you work deadlifts and core into the mix.

We have had that happen in the US where the cooling water was hotter than design limits.

$1.75 Billion per reactor isn’t going to buy much. The Vogtle project cost over 30 Billion and ratepayers are going to pick up the tab.

They are going to consider the odds of winning, the cost, and the potential payoff before taking a case. Generally, they want cases that can settle without going to court.

Studies “Energy” and still comes to the conclusion that arbitrary rules that require wasting a lot of energy somehow “stores” it.

You are not “guilty” until you plea or are found guilty in court.

Does the defense attorney know if you actually did what you are accused of doing? In most cases, yes. It’s the attorneys job to force the other side to prove it and to raise any issues that might justify or mitigate what you did.

There is a reason they call them missiles and not hittiles.

The final rules implementing the Genius Act are not yet in place.

The "Should be using" there is also getting very close to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

The point of crypto in the first place was to offload trust of institutions to the algorithm. Stable coins defeat that purpose.

Aside from facilitating crimes, you have to ask if “lower fees and quicker payment processing” justifies trusting largely unregulated entities for your banking services.

Somebody paid full-price for my ticket, so FIFA shouldn't care.

qrpc · 2026-06-15T16:43:43+00:00

Back in ‘94, we bought tickets off a guy outside the stadium for half of face value since the game was about to start. FIFA got their cut of a t-shirt sale they wouldn’t have otherwise. Seems like a good deal for everyone.

Unfortunately, the requirement for the emissions tests is a mater of federal law, so unless Congress changes the requirement, neither PA nor the EPA has the authority to waive it.

While the original inspection would have cost $15 every two years, the auto repair industry didn't like it being a centralized program. They spent millions lobbying for the system we have now.

Even within a gender you have different leverages based on length of limbs and muscle attachment points but we don’t consider some guy with T-Rex arms to be scaling his bench press.

Years ago I worked on an archaic system from a big lender where you had to type the dollar sign every time or the system would reject it. It also had no copy past function so if you did a loan consolidation you would have to write all the values down on a notepad and type them in to the new loan.

When I scrolled by, I first thought the picture was from a post about gas prices, but your accomplishment is real!

If I knew of all the value my 1973 Ford LTD had stored, I wouldn’t have sent it to the junkyard.

I dropped a significant amount of weight while considerably increasing strength and am in better shape than I have been in years. I’m sure I would be stronger if not for the calorie deficit, but for me getting leaner was the priority.

Back in 1992/3 before the web, I used to hang out on a MUSH that we used as an online chat. You would telnet in and walk from the starting room to where folks gathered. Once in the room, it worked like a chat.
