Second truck arrived for the band. I keep wondering when the actual band will arrive.
Apparently they are in for a surprise.
It reminds me of tae bo.

Yeah it's a mixed martial arts inspired workout. A lot of bouncing and running too, which I can generally ace, but once it gets to floor work like push ups, or anything that involves abs, I pretty much su*k at it. Partly my fault since I skip the core tracks(they're at the back) as I'm more often then not rushing off for work.
Same I suck at ab related workouts and then any time I'm suppose to kick higher then my waist. their was a point where I could do that I need to get back to exercising regularly. I started a little last week gonna hit it hard this week. I did walk 4 miles yesterday which wasn't a bad start. + caught a bunch of pokemon.
The entire band crew is here. I think the Star is staying in his mobile home type thing. so haven't seen anyone famous just the guys that work for the famous person.

Oh pokemon go?
I can kick pretty high. Like up to my chin, which might be your stomach/lower chest for you big Caucasian guys.
Heh, I'd probably try to run 4 miles. I mean I did get 3.8 miles on Saturday...
If you're talking about walking I did 6.8 miles one happy morning, my excuse being, I just wanted to see if it could be done.
But don't overdo it to the point you get injured, you may need to start slow

Yeah Since I got the new phone I figured why not. My GF took me to this park for the walk it has like 12 poke stops and 3 gyms all around it so we did laps collecting stuff while exercising. I used to be able to walk 10-12 miles daily no problem that little excursion let me know how out of shape I have gotten.
I'm 5 foot 11 inches I think that is like 180 Centimeters or something so measure your kicks accordingly.
Yeah you called it pretty good about stomach/lower chest.
Uh when I was a cart pusher I walked roughly 12 miles a day usually 5 days in a row while pushing weight. My calves got so big so quickly I had huge bald spots (on the calves of course) where the hair couldn't keep up.
I once ran down a car going he says 30 MPH but somewhere in between anyways I jumped in. (I don't think there was anyway I hit 30mph but I figured he looked after I jumped in and had gained the extra bit but still) that was a game we used to play start the car moving and we all run and jump in while it was going except that time he was trying to mess with me by leaving me and couldn't believe I made it in. The job got me in good shape aside from all the knee and back pains. :P

I have muscular calves too..if you're looking for slim straight legs, please look elsewhere.
For comfortable running speeds max is around 4.9 mph for me. I can't sustain any faster for any kind of time.
Anyway, my dad said my chocolate cake was nice, so I don't feel bad posting the recipe here. It was an experiment on trying to get more cocoa powder in, and put in chocolate chips, but sadly they all melted in the baking process (the chocolate chips)
1.5 cups of plain flour
3/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of cocoa powder
200 g of butter
3 large eggs
200 ml of water
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tea spoon of bicarbonate of soda
3 tablespoons of ]url=https://www.nestle.com.sg/brands/milk/nespray_fortified_full_cream_mil k]powdered milk[/url]
1)Take the butter out of the fridge and let it warm up for half an hour or so.
2) Dump the sugar on the butter.
2) Grease the pan with butter/oil
3) Heat the oven at 320 F while you do the other steps of the cake.
4) Sieve the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, powdered milk and coca powder into a separate bowl.
5) Cream the butter with the sugar using a mixer.
6) Add eggs, one by one into the butter sugar mix and have it mixed further.
7) Add the flour(mixed with baking powder and bicarbonate of soda) into the butter,sugar and egg mix, in 3 batches. As the mixture gets drier, add the 200ml of water. After that pour the mixture into the baking pan.
8) Put it in the oven to bake, about 1h. Also depends on how hot your oven is - stick it with a satay stick to determine if its cooked or not).
The preheating of the oven will take about 30 min, but you'll be using those 30 min to do the other steps (to save time) so the preheating will be done by the time you're ready to put the cake in.
When I say cups, I mean use a Measuring cup
All measurements for tablespoons and teaspoons are done using Measuring spoons

So whose going to be playing kingmaker? (MMORPG not the module.)
I am far more ingterested in single player CRPG Kingmaker than the failure of MMORPG that Pathfinder is.
Yeah I think If I had stayed at that job I would of ended up looking like Popeye. pretty much where Popeye was most bulky was where I was building all the muscles.
Although I need to write something that will bring me enough gold coins dollars via PayPal before I buy Kingmaker.
I guess I'd get to 3'9 for kick height. Around 2/3 your height, so where would that be?
The longest I've ever done in a day was 24 miles. But that was a hiking vacation in Taman Negara.
when I was young and beautiful and dangerous, I used to be able to get next to my head for front kick straight knee.
I was so beautiful once...

Thanks for being so understanding y’all <3
NH, what brand of toaster? Because I have this annoying habit of walking away and forgetting I made toast, so that alarm function has some appeal.... :P
It's a KitchenAid KMT21160B. Definitely not the cheapest toaster out there, but we're at the point in our lives where we look for quality over price. KitchenAid has a fantastic reputation, and it SEEMS like a perfectly good toaster.
But its screaming insistence on letting us know, "Toast is DONE!!!!!!" is driving us nuts. We're either going to return it, or I'm going to neuter it. Haven't decided as to which quite yet...

Nothing like axe kicking the 6'6" guy in front of you to make him fear the little guy.
I used to be able to do splits both ways.
These days I can hit about 6' (6" over my head) with a good-form front kick.
But at 51 years old, I figure that's not bad at all...

I learned the best way to make a teenage boy nervous is don't say anything, at all.
Even the mere thought of attempting splits makes my muscles hurt.

Don't I know it! Just got done eating a bag of mini pretzels. Doing okay, so far.

*Waddles over and cries together with Freehold over his lost youth*
I can't do splits. I suppose I could train for it but I can't be arsed. Flexibility isn't my kinda thing you know...I have issues touching my toes. Yes I know, I'm a disgrace.
And John! Get well soon! With upset stomachs its always better out then in.
*Waddles past Mort while she's trying to touch her toes…*
*Looks down at his own turtle-toes and wonders…stretches down and touches them despise his prodigious turtle-belly*
*Grins and winks at Mort ;P*

Michael Keaton as the Dad meeting Tom Holland pre-prom in Spider-Man: Homecoming would work too.

took the words out of my mouth.
Keaton was an AMAZING vulture. What an AMAZING take on the character.

Lepidosimian, a butterfly-monkey.
ALL (DE)'s little lad had his birthday party yesterday. He spent most of the time doing muscleman poses in front of a mirror, demanding cake (which he got, eventually) and running about shrieking. Then I had to make cardboard accessories for his Mr and Mrs Potato Head toys and we watched 'Aladdin'.
Today, they went to the chocolate factory, while I went to a long, long, long meeting.

There was this fat guy I saw at the gym, he was sitting down and touching his toes np whereas I just have problems doing it. It's just NOT FAIR!
But on the bright side, I now fit into some dresses I previously couldn't wear.

Well the band left already. I never got to meet Charlie Daniels. Oh now that hes gone I guess I'm good to say who it was. It was the Charlie daniels band. For anyone who doesn't recognize the name their song you know goes as such:
The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what."
etc.

How did Peter not use his, you know, super strength WITHOUT requiring alien technology to crush Vulture's hand in that car and be like "did you REALLY just threaten me without your little wing suit? Dumbass"?
In other news we got too excited to sleep so we left tonight instead of timorrow AM. Just made it to Georgia. Florida is a f+@*ing huge state!
4 more hours to Charlotte, where we hotel. We'll check in at earliest time, PTFO, and check out and hit the road whenever we wake up, then 6 more to Athens!
That would seem a bit out of character imo. Now if the punisher had spider powers then sure accompanied by a neck snap.
I dunno. You threaten to kill everyone someone loves and even a boyscout can lose it.
varies greatly some kids would just pee their pants.
Probably...but not a kid who can throw a car at you.
But that wouldn't have as good of a story, even if it's a pretty glaring plot hole.

I don't know I don't think the current spiderman does a good job of acknowledging all he can do. Its like he knows he can throw a car but at the same time he's still a nerd that gets bullied. Its more humanistic I feel that way. instead of a sudden hey now I'm super strong and am fearless. You have to learn to break the old habits.
Plus to me the whole her dads the vulture thing was very shocking to to the point he wasn't sure what to make of it.
Yeah. I know it's weird. I was bullied as a kid and if I got tough I'd have reacted like Andrew Garfield and embarrassed the hell out of my bullies. I also wouldn't hold a job, and I'd rob villains Blade style, too, so there's that.

If I got superpowers I'd probably keep it all to myself and not let anyone know. I wouldn't want people treating me like some kind of freak. I certainly wouldn't do crime fighting or anythibg that would draw attention to myself.
I mean if you're a superhero, you're putting your family and friends at risk. Bad guys know they can target them to hurt you.

Mines going to depend on how much power I got. If I got superman powers I'd change the world pretty well ASAP. Start with dropping dictators and helping third world countries and just move my way up. Minor small scale powers I'd probably just use them to improve my own life and the lives of those around me.
|
|
I wouldn't. I'd do the low key and stay in hiding thing. I don't want to be dragged to some mad scientist lab to extract my DNA to create a generation of super soldiers, or be forced into government service to do icky squeaky things.
You see, you may say dictators are bad and all that, but when you remove them, you leave a Power vacuum, where it is all anarchy and it's worse.
President Marcos was known for rampant corruption and dictatorship, but yet there was economic growth and better standards of living under his rule. I've spoken to some Filipinos, they agree that whatever faults he had, he did more for Philippines then Arroyo did.

Change has to come from the people themselves. My POV is if you take away however dictatorial their leader is, people will just go around butchering each other as there is no one to enforce law and order. Yeah my lawful roots are showing. If a country is suddenly given liberty, they won't know what to do with it.
Hmm probably have to do some good follow up eh? I suppose I'll just have to compromise with my hero and villain side and just rule the world myself with an Iron but caring fist.
DOOM approves.

On a more serious note, ask our resident historian what happens when there is a power vacuum. Usually the results aren't pretty, like rioting in the streets, looting, burning etc. But that was what I faintly remembered from what happened in Germany after World War 1.
Vidmaster7, you're an idealist. Sadly I'm more jaded. Maybe because I'm a cat.
