One good one. Supportive, listened to me, encouraged me to be me, put my needs first. I talk to them regularly and fly across the country to visit.

The other never listened, was totally phoning it in, is mow and has always been a terrible human being. I have all but cut them from my life.

Stockmar crayons.

Michigan is all about it.

Yeah you can’t really require a license to do something like that, it is impossible to enforce. What you can do is offer safety systems. Free protection, free testing, safe harbor when needed, a safe space to work. People want to be safe, if you make it free and easy they’ll use those services and our societal cost goes down.

I don’t care if the calculated % is wrong and I don’t believe you about changes in error. A thinner subcutaneous fat layer will form a thinner pinch at the same load. I am aware that it is an indirect measure but nonetheless it helps me meet my goals.

As an amateur who has used them enough to get repeatable results, I strongly disagree with you. Yes they are not accurate but they can be precise enough to track progress when the scale is flat or up due to a recomp.

Skin fold isn’t necessary accurate but it is repeatable. I’d you measure the same spots the same way you can tell if you are gaining or losing fat.

I cancelled my contract early to trade in my 3G for a “DROID” and never looked back.

Sounds like a stealership

I got a saddleback wallet for Father’s Day 10 years ago and it is gorgeous. If it ever dies and they still exist they’ll replace or repair it for free

Same for me except for the “almost” part. I quit midway through episode 2.

These don’t seem obscure to me but most folks I know have never heard of them:

What We Do in the Shadows

Sealab 2021

Parks and Rec

Party Down

Freaks and Geeks

Venture Bros

Of those I’ve only seen Dirk Gently and Maxx. The later was cool to young me, but the former I just can’t get into. It feels too over the top random, like they’re forcing it too hard. Too bad, Dirk’s books are my favorite from Adams.

22 hours and he’s still going as of 5pm EST

I have a variant of this I love. 2-3 lbs Chicken breast coated in taco seasoning and enough chicken broth to cover most of it. Cook on high for 3 hours. Drain the liquid, add half a block of cream cheese and half a cup of salsa, shred the chicken and add it to the now melted goo in the pot. Stir and eat. You might need some time for it to heat back up.

My other favorite is a chuck roast and a big jar of pickled peppers. Cook it for 8 hours on low. Shred it, strain it onto toasted ciabatta rolls with a couple slices of provolone and Dijon mustard.

Quip was pretty awful compared to Sonicare.

I read some Heinlein but it was just OK, seemed pretty dated ideologically. Didn’t read that one.

The number goes up if you know what I mean.

I mean, that’s an hour less sleep right?

Tinstaafl, we’re not here to give handouts to lazy bums!

I agree with you. Social programs that provide a safety net for people save more money than they cost. Pretty much any government spending that helps elevate people brings in more tax revenue than it costs. I don’t know why some people can’t see that.
