Eh Heupel looks kinda goofy but in a good way. He's the nice guy at the company picnic with the killer collection of movie props and comic books that everyone is secretly jealous of and I'm fairly sure he's in one of my mmo guilds and/or attends ren fairs. He builds the coolest armor and weapons, you've ever seen. :)

🧐 that’s uncomfortably specific. I’m sure that’s not describing you or someone you know at all!

I feel bad because I don’t do as good a job as I did while I was in Thailand. It’s just a different season and I can’t invest as much research into it, or posting for that matter.

If I can’t get to it on Sundays, Thursday mornings are my next best time slot. I think tomorrow looks good

90 percent of this was an epic TWSS.

"Run" was an oversimplification by me. Weight training is actually the better way to lose weight and raise metabolism. If you lifted 3 times a week and ran 2 times a week (and had done so your whole life), you could probably eat whatever you wanted. Almost everyone I know who has maintained that lifestyle since becoming an adult can eat horribly and not worry about it.

This issue is insanely more complex than any of us are making it out to be though. Hundreds of factors, and we're limiting it to just 2.

I agree with the latter. We are also leaving out genetics.

The lifting/cardio debate is interesting. They all burn the same calories. But I believe the lifters usually prefer more protein in their diet for muscle, and now, we are getting back to a diet debate. :)

Well I can't be that guy because I'm not a guy but I know plenty of guys like that. They tend to be good people as far as I'm concerned and CJH totally seems like a nerd but I don't think nerd = bad. Grant Williams and Josh Dobbs (among others) are nerds and I think both are pretty awesome people. One of my besties online is def. a dragon con going bona fide nerd -- he doesn't have an Iron Man suit but he's got some pretty cool toys and some great con costumes. He works in advertising and looks more like a pretty boy politician than Heupel tho. His boss has the best Captain America shield I've ever seen! The entire inner corp of their company attends dragon con every year. So yeah, I'm familiar with the type I'm describing but it's kinda just generalized from more than one person I know. :D

If you're under 50 my description is probably more common to someone you know IRL.

ESO. I love the Elder Scrolls and in the absence of a followup to Skyrim, ESO has become my main time waster. I'd never played an MMO before but I found that the community was very welcoming. When the OH was in the hospital for a month last year (and then off and on for most of it) they helped me pass the time and get through the stress of all that. I was really surprised by some of the really great people I met. The game is fun but the people are what keeps me coming back.

ETA: If you're a gamer... I'm searching for a good one. I'm in withdrawals after playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Witcher series to death and not having anything but an MMO.

I used to play old school runescape until I got locked out of my account. I miss it terribly. Just takes too long to get back to where I was in the game so I never got back into it

I'm a Destiny guy. Still. Kinda funny actually. When I first started playing, I was freaked out gaming with other random humans. After a while I got used to it, and now when I play offline games it's lonely, and I always end up back in Destiny. So yeah, community is a real consideration.

That game was a disaster when it first launched, but I played it for a while and it seemed like they had really turned it into a good game.

So my wife and I were in the right place right time today and confronted a child predator.

We are vacationing in Florida this week. We were letting the kids play around the green space in Seaside when this younger man came and started talking to my boys. Harmless looking. After we saw my son start to chase this young man like tag, alarm bells went off and mama bear swooped into action, she ran down there and asked what the guy was doing. He said laughingly he had missed his workout today and asked the kids if they wanted to make a $100 and chase him around like tag. Mama was having none of that and ran the guy off.

I finally come out of the coffee shop and get brought up to speed on the situation and said no no we need to find this guy. So I walk around for awhile until he finally comes out of this ice cream shop. In my best manners I asked him what TF is his situation. A flustered response from this cat and I quickly realize this guy isn’t right, but he’s smart, he’s preying. He hides in plain sight, finds a group of kids, targets the outlier child that is a little insecure of himself, and tempts him away from the pack. We tell him what he’s doing is a probably a crime, and certainly was out of line and starting something he didn’t want rectified by these parents, and he reiterated he was committing no crime, alarm bell #2 (he knows to keep the situation at arms length). I tell him to piss off. Wife photographs him.

Walking away I find my wife alerting some restaurant owners and they get security involved. While we wait for police to arrive I decide to go do a little detective work and go into the ice cream shop. I ask the employees if they’ve seen anything strange out of that guy. They quickly said “oh yea” he was there last night talking to 10 teenage or younger boys sharing high-school Harry stories and trying to buy them ice cream. After one boy got uncomfortable he called security and they ran this guy off.

I walk out of the store and another man said “hey I saw you talking to that guy, he said something inappropriate to my daughter and I about whipped his arse right on the spot.”

Well the sheriffs department is on this one now and I expect this gets resolved, turns out he is a Hurricane ida evacuee from last month.

TLDR; parents please watch your kids. Some sick freaks out there.

Oooh. I think I'd die a little inside if that happened. I've invested way too much time in ESO but after we lost everything in the fire it was one thing that I still owned because it was stored in the cloud. My possessions there are all digital/pixels but they're something that I had before that still exists and in a weird way that kinda grounds me a bit because not everything was taken away. I started decorating a home there and it was very therapeutic for me. I'm at a high enough level now that it would be almost impossible to regain it if I got locked or banned.

Is there anything you can do to recover the account? I know they can't always fix things but I had my Red Dead Redemption account hacked and was eventually able to get Rockstar to restore it to me.

I avoided it at launch because I was mortified that it didn't even have a thieves guild. But it's a very good game now, imo. The combat is fast paced. Overland is easy as pie as are most normal mode dungeons but veteran trials and dungeons are competitive. I don't have much experience with MMOs but from the people that I've talked to that do have experience ESO is the most friendly to players coming from single-player games and far less grindy. You don't have to re-do things constantly like you do in WoW.

Same. Hard and eventually catches up but it can be done.

I mean it’s not really that hard…. When I played college sports I didn’t necessarily eat the best lol, and then when I joined the military and was single I definitely didn’t eat very well 😂….

I think I eat worse now that I am married though and do way less exercise…. It’s starting to catch me…. But I’m one of those weirdos who can drop my weight in a month….
