The super high end bodybuilders don't look good - or even human - to me, frankly. Must be similar to anorexics thinking that they're still fat when they're unhealthily thin?

Oddly I'm working for the next 4 days, got shows friday-monday. Y'all have fun remembering the Alamo. I'm off to set up for the first show now.

Eh I'm cheap and pretty much always do BYOB, so if anything I get free leftover drinks lol... I don't mind cooking either. Even at 2023 prices, meals are cheaper than restaurants ever were (not counting $5 pizzas). I also have very few friends and would never expect to have more than a single digit ...

Miami + Vegas are shockingly expensive. I frankly don't know who can afford that shit. Some of the restaurants in downtown Palm Springs have adopted pricing that is :ayfkm: Like 28 bucks for an average glass of white wine. :lolwut: Yeah, we're definitely not moving there. More than I can afford, pa...

Not that I have been on many group rides, but every one I have attended has been exactly like that.

I fit a road bike in mine, but a mountain bike is bigger and dirtier. It would be a huge PITA. He's got other :plac: reasons anyway... :baby: :baby: :baby: oh :baby: The Prophet from the Desert called it since day 1... "The second you get the sport car :baby: will fuck ya" :notwrong: I do...

Well, after much waiting and calls to Torklift, they finally informed me a few weeks ago the 86 hitch was available for pre-order. I place an order and surprisingly, had it on my front porch less than a week later. I took the rear bumper off and went to install this Sunday and when I got to the put...

Hit up Wally World for some window units and slum it for a week. Got one at the depot last night for the bedroom, definitely helps. Probably not messing with more though, like everything else they are not cheap now. Almost double what they were in 2019. Nowhere to store them afterward either, I'll ...

When the temperature inside could be an FM radio station, you have a problem. 93.4 - Groovin to the Oldies! https://i.postimg.cc/kVyPqMwM/20230522-161724.jpg :impressive: Will they be able to fix it today? No warranty left since we are not the original purchasers of the system (new in 2015). 10 yea...

New peak indoor temp. Got a tech here now at least.

2:40 AM and it's all the way down to 86F in the bedroom.

Home AC compressor just blew up, of course on a Sunday afternoon when it's 90F and humid and not going below 80 tonight.

Yet another series of miserable sleepless nights incoming and a fuck ton of money spent on getting it fixed. Yay.

One thing to be sent internationally for a contract/project and work from there, versus getting a vacation in Italy on personal time and bringing your laptop to WFH. Usually there are exceptions/levels to it. True I wasn’t thinking about that. But I’d also never really want to travel for leisure an...

Btw what’s up with the dui guy? He's doing well enough given the circumstances. Was staying with another friend for a bit, now is renting a little studio on his own. He's good with :bs: so has talked his way into several jobs already. Seems like he has a slightly better one every few weeks. First h...

Damn, just found out that a local friend's baby died over the weekend. Was less than a year old and spent half of his life in the hospital with all sorts of problems...

I thought that I was having a rough year. Can't even imagine her situation.

Interesting on the full remote thing, I figured the government would be the last place to find remote work. Will check that out.

She's got one application in for something half decent, but realistically any job is going to take a long time to get plus be some combination of: Lower pay, higher stress, more hours.

I've been stress eating/drinking too and it's not a good look. Trying to turn that shit back around... not making any real progress yet but I did at least stop getting fatter as quickly as I was. Feels :disgust: carrying it around. I did finally get my new driver's license last week which is a big r...

Back in my day we were happy to keep our fingers at the end of the day.

Dunno what fuel costs here, especially premium. Maybe $4.50? I buy some 87 once every 2 months or so.

That'll do it. All the more reason not to worry about running a shorter stem.

Yes and yes. Temp stop gap solution. I’d also like to pull out 50k and put it in at 5.15% it is not insignificant

Um......before what ultimate solution?

Whatever sounds cool next week?

Going down to an 80mm really isn't that big of a deal. Keep in mind that you also have the reach of the bars adding to the lever, so it's not 20% shorter effectively than a 100mm. Also, IIRC you said that you raised your seat up a bunch? That also moves it backward, increasing reach. It might be wor...

Well, I tried to go for a ride today. There's a rail-to-trail about 3 miles from the house, but you have to cross some pretty busy roads to get there, including going over a highway overpass that has some pedestrian infrastructure surrounded by 40+ mph vehicles. The amount of time I had to stop at ...
