That’s untrue.
If you hit the gym for 3 hours a day and maintain your current caloric intake, you WILL lose weight. A calorie IS a calorie in terms of weight loss. There’s tons of evidence and studies of this. By increasing your exercise and maintaining your caloric intake, you will create a calorie deficit eventually.

T…

Not quite. Should be X+1000000.

fuuuuuuuccccckkkk Velveeta.

Real cheese is the way to go.

Ketamine too.

There’s also been a massive population growth leading to high amounts of traffic too. Correlation does not equal causation. Colorado, particularly the Denver Metro area, has not updated it’s roadways to keep up with population growth.

So is it MJ or is it the fact we have way more cars on overcrowded streets?

I live in Denver. I do not do drugs. I have never in my life been high, I’ve never even taken a prescription painkiller.

Weed is not a fucking a problem. Is it annoying on occasion? Sure. But it’s not a serious fucking problem and it’s helped a LOT of fucking people. Evidence also exists that shows it helps reduce…

Honestly I don’t see it as so impossible. Black Bears aren’t particularly vicious (They’re like 95% scavengers) and kinda famous for their mothering tendencies. We have seen lots “Animal adopts babies of other species.” In fact, wasn’t there a cat that saved a newborn from the cold recently?

And do we have a better…

Ah! She looks so comfy!

Yep. My Danes are extraordinarily mellow like 99% of the time. But if they detect a threat, they go into full on “PROTECT MOM!” mode.

I used to go 4x4ing with my friends and take my girl with me all the time. She loved everyone there. We’re doing an overnight run and stopped to BBQ, I decided to climb in the back of…

I have Great Danes and had a CCW... guess which one makes me feel safer.
People talk about just shooting the dogs, but everyone seems to underestimate the fear that 175lbs of angry dog puts into a person. That dog isn’t going to stop. You’re not going to intimidate him. He is going to come at you and FAST.

I have never,…

I mean, that’s honestly not bad at all. That’s 143k per job. If we were only talking about paying for the jobs, that would be pretty crap. But investment includes equipment, buildings, research, etc.

Now if only their “estimate” were in any way accurate...

I have to wonder.
The Obama’s were a somewhat younger, beautiful couple, who range from kinda to absolutely hot. Is there any chance they haven’t “Christened” almost every square inch of the White House?

On the other hand I feel like they’re classy people and maybe have the self control to NOT go roaming the White House…

Remember the level 1 Jeuno races? 

Explain how a 10 million + tax bracket will affect them?
Also there are plenty of homes available in the area for far less than $1 million. Specifically only counting average homes IN Palo Alto is a sneaky way to claim they can’t live decently on the top 1.5% of earners in the nation.

Assuming they bought a $1 million…

Couple different skeleton areas, but I’m betting you’re talking about King Ranperre’s Tomb, right outside San d’oria. Fun times in there. It had a camp for like level 40 something, where at the back of the tunnel were level 80 undead skeletons.
I accidentally converted in front of one once... it’s a funny story... NOW.

I do too at times.  But then I remember the nightly Salvage runs and the 5 hour Dynamis runs and those feelings go away.  FFXI was cool, particularly because of the way it encouraged group play and relationships, but eventually turns into an actual job.  I’ll never go back, but I’ll also always look fondly back on it.

Guess you’re right... I could swear there were Giant trains outside Selbi... Oh well, funny how memories get fuzzy.

Agreed.
I also found that XIV didn’t have the same challenge or tactical feel to it. XI you had to call out your TP, plan your WS, plan your bursts, call adds, etc. And it was challenging enough that if you found someone who was good, you wanted to be around them more.
XIV felt like 90% of the time, you could just do…

I was always support or healer thankfully, but yeah DPS seemed to always have it rough. I still won’t touch them today after watching friends sit there for entire nights and not find groups.

A big part of the game’s original draw was the enforced grouping from the olden days. You literally had to have a group to accomplish almost anything (even just leveling) past about level 10. I made so many friends compared to other MMOs because of this.
Unfortunately due to time, I’m sad you don’t get to experience…
