This would only be impressive if the men were already at their peaks, or at some kind of plateau that they had trouble getting past. Then, if the creatine pushed them past that, I suppose it would have some limited value.

Regarding protein I make sure that I get plenty but many, many blogs, magazines and such recommend stupid amounts. Not coincidentally, they all either learned this stuff from people beholden to the supplement industry or are themselves shills for weight gain powders. In my nursing nutrition class, I was taught that…

She's a funny person and funny people don't watch their mouths. Only the Chaz Bono remark seems a bit over-the-line.

That was adorable. It was such a perfect exchange. I love how non-creepy Jack was and how well she handled it without having thought anything out in advance. It felt like a "flirting with harmless grandpa" moment from a movie.

Harassment is subjective and nobody is ever going to find a way to make it not so until human nature changes. Maybe it seems unfair that that attractive people can often find receptiveness where unattractive people get only rejection, fear, annoyance etc. That is just the advantage that looks or money or success or a…

In 1799, 17-year-old Adèle de Platine, a schoolgirl from Biarritz, was deposited in the Archives of the Republic as the standard reference for one metric scung. Even though later, more exact, measurements determined that she was not quite as fast as an actual calculated scung, she remains the standard by which the…

Hemorrhoids.

I work in a dept. store. While almost nobody uses our folding boards after a few weeks here, they do work for long sleeve shirts. You have to fold the sleeve, though, so it fits onto the board kind of like a short-sleeved shirt. Then you proceed as you would for a short-sleeved shirt.

I can't quite address choosing characters but I can encourage you in regards to DIY. My dad, who knew how to repair tractors, grow food etc, didn't teach me shit. I grew up into one of those guys with no practical skills. A couple of years ago I realized that the internet had replaced a parent for this stuff. You no…

I do the rest, but never thought to turn them inside out. Makes sense, of course.

I have always wondered how that works out for people. I know a guy with two pairs of selvedge jeans that he never washes. No, he does not really smell or anything wearing them, but it has always seemed to me like over the course of twenty wearings or so they would build up oils, dead skin cells, dust and whatnot.

Screw that. Pink shirt, blue shirt, light grey shirt. White shirts make you look like a waiter unless you are wearing a suit. Even then I like a really light touch of color. Mind you, I wear scrubs at work so I am never trying to make clothes into a uniform.

So he has the same two suit colors that everyone else wears (plus black, he does wear black suits). It is not especially minimalist, but it does show that he does not think much about his suit choices.

Even thirty seconds seems like a lot. Open drawer or closet. Reach for shirt (you have to do that much already). Angle your arm towards the shirt that you feel like wearing. Pick up shirt. Put it on. So you are saving that dreaded angling of your arm, which is responsible for 7% of all clothing-selection-related…

Is that true? Or for every male protagonist is there not an oversexed female barbie doll fantasy character?

Sure, he had a lot of age-inappropriate relationships. He was still much more fuckable than Hef.

I read all of these tips in "Getting to No."

It worked for Andy Kaufman.

The idea is not that all the banks everywhere need to be brought to trial, it is that they have zero fear of it ever. It is as if you were in some small county asking a prosecutor "When was the last time you brought a white male to trial?" If the answer is "I can't remember" you have a serious problem. You know that…

Fat and depression go together like two really compatible things. I have suffered with both for my whole life. I have a chicken/egg problem in that I don't know what causes what. I have finally conquered the fat (lost half my body weight), and as it happened my depression lessened, my energy increased etc. The thing…
