Watch any competitive powerlifter’s face turn tomato-red during a squat, and you’ll know they’re doing it, too.

I really can’t stand the massively excessive arches like what you see from people like the douche canoe Sean Noriega but it’s part of the sport so rock it if you got it until the rules change. I’d much rather watch a TD Smash or John Haack style bench but powerlifting isn’t a contest of what looks better.

There’s too much money in “this one simple trick” and fad diets

Calorie deficits are fine in theory and in real life because that’s how weight loss works. There are many ways to skin that cat but that’s what it comes down to at the end of the day. Yes, the overall situation is very complex and the message of “just eat less” doesn’t work. Not because being in a caloric deficit…

Yeah my olive oil sits right by my stove and I’ve never had a problem. It also sits beside my knife block so I guess I’m just going against the grain with this article. If I had more cabinet space I probably would have less stuff on my counters but I don’t and won’t so here we are.

If you’re forced to choose whether someone will help a homeless person on the verge of freezing to death, always vote “no.”

If everyone is going to get it then it makes sense to try to be at the end of that line because chances are treatments are only going to improve (look at that Merk drug that is probably coming out soon). Of course, if you’re vaccinated then there’s a pretty good chance you won’t get it but that’s not a reason to drop…

This is the most absurd regulation. Whoever came up with it must have absolutely no clue how many transactions are $600 and over at a bank. This is going to be the most useless data imaginable.

Thanks Grog

I used to be set on two spaces after a period because that’s how they taught us in school, after typewriters too. I finally converted and while rocky at first, it has been successful. You can do it!

This is the most important thing to me. Nothing is worse than building great chemistry with someone for weeks over texting only to realize you don’t have that same chemistry in person.

On a longer vacation I like to use one day to do the “must do” activities and then use the rest of the time to do the most you stuff as you call it. I’d much rather miss out on the must do things and have a vacation I actually enjoy more. Medical museums sound amazing and something I wouldn’t have ever thought of.

Hunting is boring, peaceful, frustrating, physically taxing, and sedentary all at once, and for some reason I want to do it again next year.

I buy two large bags of decent candy that overflows from the big bowl I set out. Some kid will inevitably come by and dump it all in his bag so I don’t spend too much and in years past it has lasted pretty late into the evening. 

Not in a shed? It would be much safer to just keep it outside somewhere covered.

There are Roth 401ks

I was just telling someone the other day how that was such a great theater experience. I am not a big movie person but that was an awesome movie to see in theaters.

Awesome work Claire!

No, it’s a pretty terrible choice right now. If you have absolutely no appetite for risk then a high interest (lol) savings account is your best bet right now. That way you don’t lock in a terrible interest rate for longer term. If you have a little bit of risk tolerance and you don’t need the money for a while I’d…

Yes!!! This is so awesome Claire. I love that you are getting into strength training and you’re bow hunting elk, that is all so cool. You will see so many benefits from strength training that will affect the quality of life from now until old age. Please post more about your elk hunt, I am really interested. I just go…
