You could also just buy a membership at an expensive gym. If you don’t go, you’re paying $200/month for nothing. The more you go the better deal it is.

A went out with a guy and told him I have a Miata. He texted me the next day making fun of my car. I didn’t respond. Ever.

Ah ha! Problem soved!

I wish that was the case. I gain muscle when I work out but my body never really looks that different, working out or not. I herniated a disc in my back in June and haven’t been able to work out AT ALL (walking 1-3 miles is the height of my exercise) since then. I still look the same as when I was in the gym 4-5 days…

I do, you can always build up the muscles in your butt, deadlifting and squats all day.

The Greeks would take a large issue with your assumptions as to Italy coming up with either of those.

Yes! I had a roommate who spent 90% of her time watching tv and eating takeout like Dominos. She had abs like a swimsuit model. She NEVER worked out. She also probably had 10% body fat naturally. But she also had absolutely no butt so there was an exchange for those sweet abs.

Yep, I’ve got rock hard abs and obliques but there is still a layer of fat on top that I hate. This persisted even when I was lifting heavy and doing muay thai 4-5 days a week. I also love sugar, therein lies the problem.

Cameras sensors, not chips, are balanced based off the kelvin system. Photographic color balance is based off the kelvin system as well. Photography is based on light, so in color photography the color of the light is how the image is determined. Hence, if you change the white balance on your camera to sunny when you…

Cameras don’t distort the image, that would be the focal length of the lens on whatever you are using to take the photo..

I wrap mine in wax paper, you can put it in the microwave and it comes off fairly easily.

Just tried this method for the first time and THANK YOU THANK YOU! I LOVE poached eggs and this is even easier than boiling water in a pan and waiting for 4 minutes. Poached eggs everyday!!!

I was commuting 40-45 minutes each way for the last 2.5 years until August. I had back surgery and have been working from home ever since. Definitely having the talk with my boss when I am cleared to go back about NOT going back more than a day or 2 a week. It is SO much better working from home.

True. That is how you can tell you are a real Angeleno, when you’ve got some real on the DL backstreet ways to get places.

Genuine question, why hasn’t a “vaccine” (maybe not the right word) or permanent deterrent against mosquitos been developed? Like something I can have injected that will permanently make them not bite me? I get mosquito bites all the time, they LOVE ME. I’d pay all sorts of money to get it to stop so I could go on…

Yup, have a dog. I know almost all my dog having neighbors and I am not a super social person, at all. If you have an extroverted dog even better. We have a pool which is another place I’ve met neighbors.

If you really want to get to know your neighbors, get a dog and walk your dog. I am pretty anti-social but everywhere I’ve lived I know my neighbors because my dogs never are.

That was going to be my question....I’ve been on BC forever. How or when do you stop? I’m in my late 30s and my mom’s family seems to be able to have kids well into their mid-40s so I assume no time soon but still...how do you navigate that?

Where DO drivers pay attention? I’d like to drive there please.

The police use them in CA. Can not imagine why the CHP hadn’t managed to get there in an HOUR. This is a very busy stretch of freeway in a very dense part of LA.
