I'll be honest, I struggle with that myself. I have to keep picturing the movement as dropping my butt more than bending my legs.

That guy is doing a bunch of exercises in positions that are really bad for the joints. Also, those were barely squats. Finally, no deadlift.

Thanks. For anyone who sees these posts and wonders, it totally works. I had tried brown dye and it just came out blue with a tiny bit of teal or aqua to it. I looked at the color wheel and realized "Hey, brown has a lot of blue in it, so I am adding blue dye to an already blue fabric." Well a bottle Riit yellow and…

It is too bad about Elmo's scandal. He truly is the felt Gary Hart.

Not born in the US. Governor of California material, sure...

I might argue that waltzing in and breaking the taboo is a great way to challenge them — if that is what you are doing and the backlash that makes people start thinking about the issue is the result that you want. It is a terrible way to just hang out and enjoy a spa, which it sounds like Cho wanted to do. It is kind…

Even better, buy the best card that you can. Wait a year or two and add another for the SLI. They key here is to buy a really common card rather than some black or FTW edition (I had a heck of a time finding a mate for my SLI pair). I am still rocking two gtx 260 FTW cards and nothing that I play has made me think…

So Jerry and Mike are all about this, but god forbid they show up at a podcast and the guy is wearing a bow tie?

There is a partial kevlar lining (airmesh), but weak fabric will give way at the seams and then the lining and the padded bits and armor plates won't stay in position.

Does anyone here dye fabric? I have a motorcycle jacket (actual armored jacket for riding) that is blue denim and I want it brown without bleaching, which would weaken it. I am trying to figure out if adding yellow and red dye would do the trick.

I record my weight daily. I weigh myself first thing in the morning with a recognition that that is probably two pounds lighter than my average is for the whole day. I use an online tracker that provides a handy graph as well as your 7, 30 and 90 day changes. It is a great tool because on days when your weight spikes…

No....deadlifts? I don't understand. I mean, I don't make a lot of noise or drop the bar when I deadlift. How can they so arbitrarily decide what exercises you can and can't do?

Enough with everyone making their own little answer to Netflix. Netflix won, so put your whole catalog of TV shows on there, make them viewable no more than a week after airing (not when the DVD comes out in a year, assuming there even will be a DVD) and just live with the fact that Netflix is going to skim some of…

Damn. You saved her life and she just dropped you?

Nix bowties. Bowties are cool.

The phrasing of these results is misleading, though not quite an outright lie because Matthews used the term "eliminate" instead of "reduce."

I stopped eating added sugar with the exceptions of small amounts in ketchup or bread or whatever, which I still keep to a minimum. I had a camping trip on which we just happened not to have any desserts or sugar with us other than fruit. When I came back I had utter control over what I would decide to eat, like I…

No, Scottish ones are.

I lost 220 lbs and went from looking like Newman to looking like my dad, who was a handsome (asshole) rake who I realize in retrospect was a magnet for the opposite sex. Anyway, now I really like looking at myself because the change makes me so happy. Today I am a happily monogamous nerd who looks presentable and I…

In the summer I like to make my french press brew the night before. I mix it a little strong, brew it at 180 degrees and let it sit on the coffee overnight. Toss a couple of ice cubes in the cup in the morning and you are in heaven.
