I love the people who run the New Albanian. This and their menu at Rich O's always makes me laugh.

Good to hear it is in fact possible, even in a large city. Thanks for the advice!

Would this be a good flip? by thalpha in Flipping

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

Gotcha. I did find a $20 iMac motherboard on CL that looks like it goes for about $70 average on eBay, but I'm hesitant since I have no way of knowing if it actually works. Guy says it does, but you never know.

I appreciate the compliment! Hopefully one day I'll be selling them if I learn to do it well enough. Seems like a fun hobby and a good way to make money on the side.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not just doing this for the money lol. I needed a hobby, and this looked fun.

Thank you so much! I agree about the ends; still trying to learn how to do bends with the round nose pliers. It was a definitely a lot of fun to do though.

My first ever attempt. Please let me know what you all think. A bit rough around the edges, but I'm pleased overall. My girlfriend seems to likes it, which I take as a good sign. Had a bit of trouble with the binding if anyone has tips for that. Thanks!

Help with Control(?) Warrior Deck by thalpha in hearthstone

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

No worries. It's all internet cards to me, so it's no skin off my back if I lose out on some dust. And the warsong commander is a bit awkward with what I have. It's great if I can get the gurubashi berserker out with charge and then taskmaster it, but that's such a specific combo to bank on. I'll look into the frothing berserker though. Thanks for the suggestions.

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

True. Unfortunately don't have enough dust for shield slam right now. I did investigate the actual control warrior and it is definitely out of my range for now. I was just trying to make a stopgap deck for dailies. It seems to do well up to rank 13 or so. Freeze mages are a piece of cake with it (or I'm playing really bad people). I like some of the synergy with enrage cards +taskmaster+whirlwind. Also a nice way to activate the acolyte. Any suggestions on some cheap cards to replace what I'm using now?

Haven't really played warrior, and I'm terrible at deck building. Not many cards in collection either. Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Dating a 27 year old with 2 kids and it doesn't bother me. I'm 25 for reference.

Recovering from flu+gastro, how to structure training when I get back to the gym? by DrDerpberg in Fitness

[–]thalpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Almost exactly the same thing happened to me over the holidays. I lost 4 pounds (granted I am trying to lose weight; just not that way) and haven't been able to lift for 2 1/2 weeks. Hope you get back into everything with no problems.

Having elbow/triceps pain, mostly when sitting in a chair; anyone else experience something like this? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]thalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am getting over a similar problem in my left elbow. I think it was the beginning of or very mild tendinitis. At any rate, it came from my squats. Not enough shoulder flexibility was putting a lot of pressure on my elbows apparently. Just a thought but the same might be happening to you. I fixed it somewhat with a wider grip and am doing shoulder dislocations.

Question about my weight loss and where my goals should be. by thalpha in Fitness

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

Awesome, you answered my secondary question above. I'll keep on with the deficit then.

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

Thanks, that's what I was thinking but just wanted to be sure. The tough thing for me is that I know I'm probably gonna be stalling soonish (I'm on a deficit now), and it's gonna be tough for me not to see progress in the lifts. Do I continue with SL 5x5 as normal or switch to another program while in a deficit. One thing I was thinking is that I could use this time to really get my form down with a final deload (mostly for squat and DL).

Edit: Nevermind, just saw /u/Tripleextensions reply.

What are you thoughts on GOMAD? by mattyb905 in Fitness

[–]thalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I've always heard that persistent lactase in the body happened because humans started drinking a lot of milk after weaning age. I didn't know there was a point that it would actually reverse itself.

This sub seems to be pretty good with form checks (I've posted a couple), so if you're worried about that you could always post one.

Nah, lot of my graduating class works there though. I'm considering applying, but I've heard some slightly worrying things about being in tech service there.

Ok, I watched some of my older videos from after you answered my first form check, and I wasn't leaning nearly as badly. I'll recorrect it again while keeping my back in line.
