Randomness thread, part two.

This is diet though which is so much more important than anything mentioned so far and is what people get so wrong.

Even wuf knows that he just doesn't like assessing points fairly he just likes ramming home his point with any info he can find.

Have you ever had to make weight for a sport? There's a bit more to it than diet lol.

[jyms]

Hey jyms, how balanced is the doc Bigger Stronger Faster? It's message is loud and clear that steroids are not nearly as bad as we're told, which I mostly agree with. But are there any facts about the harm regular steroid use can do that they gloss over?

I haven't actually seen it yet. I can tell you that Steroids (AAS) which are testosterone and derivatives like dianabol, Anavar, turinabol or masteron to name a few, are not used during what you would call "game day" That is not the purpose of them, they are not performance enhancers as most are led to believe, but training aids. Testing for them on the day of an event is a waste of time unless the athlete is an idiot (Ben Johnston) Nobody knows what or when people are using anymore, and it would take a page for me to explain how someone uses steroids to train before tested events and how they use PCT (Post cycle therapy) to reintroduce their own testosterone production again and to maintain what gains they have made. Testing is behind the drugs. When they first tested Lance Armstrong he passed the test, but low and behold now that they can test the invisible things they knew nothing about then he magically fails for blood doping/EPO?? Also as evidenced by the Balkan scandal in baseball, if not for some discoveries of the derivatives of steroids they were using they wouldn't have known what to look for in that type of testing they were using either.

Steroids are safe, for adults using medicinal dosages, using proper post cycle therapies and not using the ridiculous other drugs causing all the bloated GH and insulin guts you see today in body building. Guys like Stallone, Arnold and others are still using these "medical dosages now and they seem pretty healthy for 70+. There are 100,000's of men in North america on TRT/HRT testosterone dosages leading healthier lives now doing 100+mgs of test a week. Steroids aren't the problem, kids are the problem. Taking oral steroids without testosterone is bad, being under 21 and having almost equal to 1000's of mgs of natural test in your body already and taking more is a problem. Not doing proper post cycle therapies is almost the worst possible problem because people feel like shit and get major health issues and decide to stay on 365 is stupid.

How the fuck do metcheck, met office and accuweather all have completely different forecasts for the next 24 hrs?

That's fucking weird. I literally have metcheck as my other tab, thinking why the fuck does their forecast say there's no lightning nearby when I can hear thunder.

Although in fairness they were pretty spot on last night.

Also, why is it that every time we have thunderstorms, metcheck feel the need to reference Bohemian Rhapsody? It's not funny the first time, let alone the 20th.

Pretty close to bang on. The better you can chemically manage the sobbing portion is what makes you manage to maintain your hard earned "gains"

I possibly like the French more than the English.

I feel like we're glimpsing the male/female dichotomy here. Women would embrace these emotions. Men would chemically manage them.

I was visiting my cousin who owns an apricot plantation in the czech republic. My sister asks him if there are any trains going to vienna from there and he sais the last one went 19:45.
I say it's not even 5 yet.
- No, 1945. The nazis blew up the bridge in 1945.

actual conversation.

Meatloaf's finest hour.

[Chelle]

Apparently today in 'Murica it's national ice cream day. Went to the local country diner, ordered a hot fudge sundae. Ate 1/4th of it. The whole time there I kept getting the, "you ain't from round here" looks, when I've fucking lived here the large majority of my life. Ended up giving my Dad the rest of the sundae.

I don't belong in this damn town. I've never felt like I have, and fuck, after living in a larger city, I know for damn sure I need to get the fuck back in the city.

[oskar]

My grandmother died in the same house she was born in 78 years later. The furthest she ever went was about 50 miles. So there's some inspiration. Am I doing this right?

[OngBonga]

Only in America would there be a national ice cream day.

[aubreymcfate]

CHELLE come to nyc! actually go to burning man b/c i'll be there this year and i think you would fit right in.

also, for like, 3 full seconds ripe with dumbassery, i sincerely believed that you were missing the top of your middle finger.

i've been in ogden, utah for the past week. going back to NY today. the people are so overwhelmingly kind here, mormons are actually kind of amazing, and the mountains are gorgeous.

I have heard things about this burning man, and it does seem rather appealing. But, as far as coming to NYC anytime soon, won't be able to. ! But, trust me, my southern belle ass will make it to the big apple at some point in my life. But, then again - with the ideas I have planning, I'm also going to make it to Italy, France, and fuck knows where else. Dream big, right?

Edit: Lol, the finger thing - I did black tips on my nails. I still have all my finger.

https://geoguessr.com/

I'm 10,000 miles off on average. Which is only about 4000 miles more than I should get with random guesses so I'm content with that.

[eugmac]

I can at least get the hemisphere right. Also difference between Europe and North America, but very hard to pinpoint within those continents.

[eugmac]

I mixed up Spain and Italy.

[OngBonga]

With one bink I managed to get 25 yards from correct location, a random town in Finland.

Generally, if I don't try very hard I'm not very good, and rarely get the right country. But if I take my time, maybe half an hour on one location, I'll figure out exactly where I am. Patience is the key. Sometimes I have more than other times.

[surviva316]

Patience is the key. Sometimes I have more than other times.

If I started exploring/looking at road signs, I felt like I was cheating. I even got placed somewhere where there was a building that said "California" and I felt so dishonest about it that I guessed northern Texas, because I felt that's where I otherwise would have guessed.

I guess getting dropped in a random location on the globe and having to explore about until you have an idea of where in the world you are is a plenty fun game, though, so I don't know why I was being such a prude about it.

[OngBonga]

I think roadsigns are fine. Sometimes it's a game simply trying to figure out what language it is. Like, try telling the difference between Japanese, Chinese and Korean characters. But yeah the idea for me is to use intuition and geography knowledge to figure out where I am. I can walk around until I find roadsigns, that's what I'd do if I actually were dumped in a random location.

Cheating is finding a roadsign and then googling the town name. Which I've done. But, irl, I have to assume I don't have the internet. So yeah I definitely consider that to be cheating, and wouldn't be bragging about a score I got thanks to google.

Simply doing it based on landscape, that's very hard and I'd be happy to simply get the right country, let alone the region.

[d0zer]

I don't know why I was being such a prude about it.

You could use this as an opportunity for deep introspection. Maybe go out in the desert and take a powerful long-lasting hallucinogen and unlock the mysteries of your existence.
