I did keto for a few months, partly because one of the claims is that it doesn't slow your metabolism. No clue if that's true or not. I was eating 1400 calories ar the beginning, before I got into cycling. It did work quite well, although I got sick of eating the same foods over and over. Eggs...

I take back my recent criticism of Yellowstone. I got used to Kelly Reilly playing Beth Dutton, and the soap-y stuff got less silly after Season 1. Good ****.

Yap. It's a very fine line between creating a slight caloric deficit, and a slight caloric surplus. I dropped 50lbs between February and July of this year and it was all about tracking calories. I want to drop another 20lbs of lard but the motivation is not quite the same since I'm already...

Looks like a child's toy IMO. Much prefer the Africa Twin looks-wise.

Hehe, it was recommended to me by a fellow track cyclist (and Cat 2 road racer). Much better than doing random Zwift workouts. Which trainer did you order? I'm using an old Minoura rim-drive trainer for now. Debating between getting a smart trainer and a pair of Favero Assioma power meter...

Dude. I've been doing the TrainerRoad thing for close to 2 months now to build my base. High-volume (8-10 hours/week). I can see results already. My max heart rate is so low right now, probably because I've been largely sedentary my whole life. I hit 177bpm at the velodrome on Monday night which...

That was much better! 54km/h top speed tonight. Still way off what real track cyclists can do in a race, but given that I started exercising (at all) a mere 6 months ago, I'll take it!

First night at the velodrome on this thing was a bit comical... This is only the second track bike I've been on, and I went from the rental bikes' 48x16 gearing all the way to 48x13, which was too big for my power/skill level. I topped out at 44km/h according to my speed sensor, whereas I was...

But why

I use YouMail on my Android phone. It takes over my regular voicemail and it sends me a transcription of the voicemail to my email, and on the app. It also screens a lot of the scams and robocalls. https://www.youmail.com/

Not yet, but yeah I'm noticing actual good deals on stuff. I need gloves.

Yellowstone is quickly turning into a silly soap, where Very Dramatic Stuff™ happens to every character on a rotation, because dramatic stuff must happen to characters in a drama, I guess? There was also this weird stretch where a grizzly bear showed up three separate times over a couple...

She's a schoolteacher on a reservation. Maybe "poor" was the wrong choice of word. My point was, she looks glamorous and hawt af whereas hubby looks appropriately scruffy. I'm nitpicking because I feel like the show could be an all-time classic were it not for some weird casting choices. That...

^ This girl is way too hot, and wearing way too much makeup for her role. She's supposed to look poor. Come on.

I'm 3 episodes into Yellowstone which is shot like an expensive movie. Gorgeous stuff. The dialogue is a bit cringey at times and the acting is uneven (not a big fan of the gal who plays Beth, mostly because I know she's British from her classic role in The Spanish Apartment (2002) and her Brit...

I enjoyed the first Venom, not sure why it got destroyed by critics and viewers alike. It's dumb superhero ****. I'll probably give the sequel a shot. *shrugs*

Yah yah. I'm not expecting The Rock to suddenly star in highfalutin stuff. But Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot totally mailed it in here. The Rock genuinely out-acted both of them. RR in particular seemed bored by his own shtick.

I always wonder what the atmosphere is like on the set of lazy, derivative movies like this. Does everyone involved hate themselves a little bit or are they completely blinded by the money? Not proud to admit that I almost watched the whole thing.

Unreal. Looks like it just need a rainy Saturday's worth of TLC to be back on the road.

My 8yo son just watched the three Back to the Future movies over the last couple days. He rates them thusly: Part I - 9/10 Part II - 10/10 Part III - 9/10 When asked what year he'd like to travel to if he had a time machine, he said 2030. I made him promise to travel back in time to bring me...
