Real life is somewhere between 35 and 50mm, btw.

I try to have some sort of "workout outfit" that's easy to change into, because just putting on the outfit alone makes me more likely to finish. If I put on the outfit and then lollygag around I'm constantly reminded by my clothes of everything I'm not doing. If I worked out in whatever I was already wearing I would…

I currently work two jobs that take up almost all of my time. In addition to that I have a wife who wants me around at night. And before I had those two jobs I worked in Hollywood in the TV industry with 10 hour days (if I was lucky).

Seconded. I guess I'm trying one set each and then seeing where I feel.

I hope it follows the Nook SimpleTouch in terms of design. As an original Nook owner who loved the original LCD strip design, I thought the SimpleTouch was a really bad idea - until I held it in my hands and saw that it's absolutely beautiful and effortless and omg I want one. If the Nook Color keeps up with that…

I got through it this week and it was easier than last week. But now I have soreness in my left shoulder, and I had a serious time with lunges on my left quad. My left quad is totally shot to hell now. Is there an alternative to lunges I can use til my quad heals?

Can someone suggest an alternative to lunges? With this and the squats I've killed my left quad for a few days.

I've already started! One week in and it's working well. That deck of cards workout is murder though.

Totally agree. And the saddest thing is they could absolutely make Zelda like that again. With the popularity of sandbox games like GTA they could make a Zelda that really tested you, that made you feel like you travelled miles and miles from where you started and you're so far away from home and who knows if you have…

My credit union (and many others) reimburses any ATM fees from other banks' ATMs, making the entire ATM ecosystem my oyster.

Just confirming, using this thing with all the cool streaming requires an Amazon Prime subscription, yes? That changes the cost calculus a little bit. Not much, but if you're already a Netflix or Hulu customer you probably want to figure out which service you want to rely on.

Don't knock the LAT's glorious Art Deco building. That thing is absolutely gorgeous and a great reminder of how LA used to be one of the most beautifully designed cities in the US. Even today with its sprawl it still holds a ton of great architectural wonders and secrets - the folks dissing LA architecture are really…

I wish I had double majored. I was fortunate enough to get a full tuition scholarship, but my main major just wasn't big enough to fill up my schedule. So I filled it up with electives and stuff. Near the end I tried to do an English minor, but it was too late, I couldn't finish it. I wish I had planned it ahead of…

I saw her during her Black Cherry tour and she was amazing and transcendent. By far one of the best live shows I've ever been to (and I saw Daft Punk twice!).

I don't understand the obsession people have with tender steak. A london broil, for instance, is not very tender at all, but just grilled with salt and sliced into thin pieces it is delicious and has some chew. Tenderness as an attribute is way overrated and it is nowhere near as important as flavor.

Should be made clear that this is not the first film Hitch worked on, but rather the first film in which he got screen credit. Hitch began his film career as a title card designer, much of it uncredited. It's impossible to know exactly which title cards are his.

If the script is great and they only need you for 12 days, why not help a filmmaker you believe in? Actors are always hungry for good material, they'll do it on deep discount, especially if it doesn't take a ton of their time. They ask for the big bucks when it commits them for months and when the script is terrible.

The more I watch DS9 (introducing my wife to it now, we're in the middle of S2) the more I appreciate it. It seems to have better connections to TOS, both tonally and in terms of the universe itself. It feels like classic trek, not TNG, which I love (and which was my gateway). I've been watching Voyager as well, and…

Well there are really two issues here. The first is whether Male Female and Other are acceptable ways to classify gender, and that's a massive debate where Google basically has to draw the line (and those three terms, for me anyway, seem to draw the line just fine). I think what XKCD guy is saying is that he doesn't…

When I worked on the show "Psych" the producer had just finished producing a military medical pilot that didn't get picked up - he had paid 30K for a CGI cargo plane model for use on that pilot, so he made sure that as soon as we did anything military-based on Psych that he would use the plane model that the company…
