That’s entirely fair. Now that I think about it, I forgot about the fact that I lived in Florida for a while the closest thing to a hill being a freeway overpass.

While with some somewhat granola friends, I pointed out that a lot of the guys at the really big farmers market where we used to live were just pulling crates of produce out of their truck that they got at the same place that supplied local grocery stores.

Spin bag, place open end under loaf. Done

Everyone should know how to downshift to slow their vehicle. It should be standard for all drivers going down long hill/mountain roads.

Addendum for #4.

This has been going on for months. My brother has to park on the street, and in the last four months has had to pick up his Hyundai at the impound TWICE. After the first time they put a steering wheel immobilizer in the car (the club) but that didn’t stop them from jumping in for a second ride.

I forgot the SB was going on, forgot about the party. meh

I still have the originals. I wanted the Wii trilogy, but found out that the quality of the games was reduced so passed on it. I literally just finally purchased an HDMI converter for my GCN so I could play these games on a newer TV. Which was also $40...

F-Zero GX on the GC was pretty sweet. Not sure I could dedicate that kind of time to a successor these days but I’d keep an eye on it.

Advance Wars was indeed a good game, and as much as I love strategy games I SUCKED at Advance Wars. LOL, like, I was AWFUL.

Yeah, that will happen if you’re not sweating it out. I generally start my day by making a full pot of coffee, around 11 I switch to water. After lunch I often have the final cup of coffee in the pot (I’m not above microwaving coffee that wasn’t burned) and keep drinking water into the night.

ABSOLUTELY

“I’m not eating <thing> right now” is always met with “oh, but you can cheat” or some similar attempted hamstringing! I can maybe count on one hand the number of people who didn’t follow up with some attempted short circuit to the temporary phrasing. 

My personal water intake is as it needs to be. I drink 2L of water most days because I’m very active most days. I also drink a bit extra when I’m bored-hungry and combine it with unsweetened banana chips.

One of the easier things I’ve done when I need to cut things out for whatever reason is change my internal monolog from “I can’t” and “I have to” to “I don’t” and “I always”

I don’t eat extra sugar
I don’t drink soda (diet or otherwise)
I don’t drink during the week
I don’t miss workouts
I always eat a giant bowl of…

A ride with a specific size limit isn’t really “excluding” anyone when it’s about safety, space constraints, etc. Unless some guy in a board room said “If they look fatter than Mario, they can’t ride”, that is.

I got invited to watch this at a neighbor’s house and I’m rather torn. Under normal circumstances I’d ignore this event completely. Most years I don’t even know that it’s happened until a few days later.

One of the reasons I agreed to watch this back in college was that it was billed as specifically not a musical. I just don’t like musicals (Disney or otherwise).

While I have unending stories about how unions are full of cockroaches, I agree that without them the US would be one of those “shithole countries”. And that’s really where we’re headed now.

We had a guy on our datacenter team who did 4x10s, Thursday - Sunday. We’d leave a list of stuff for him to do, and he’d do some of it Thursday and Friday and basically nothing on the weekend. Badge system said he was in the office, and his computer was on the network. But nothing got done.

I used to work construction and my only union stories are about how unions are festering corpses of the employee empowerment forces they were supposed to be.

In Sierra, High Sierra, Big Sur and a few others for me it was a complete crap shoot with monitor placement if I went from home to office setups (2016 MBPro). I always have one monitor rotated 90 degrees, and OSX would pick a random monitor to rotate. Or sometimes I’d just come back from a conference room and it’d…
