I have at least one membership request. Polish, Christian guy. He seems eager to be part of the forum. @PotstickerSwatstika: I don't know if you talked to this guy already?

Good. Open the doors and let some of the stink blow out of here.

Pre-workout? I've never even tried it. I have never even tasted Gatorade. I'm so old school that my idea of pre-workout is a cup of black coffee. During training I only drink water. Don't add complexity to things unnecessarily. Every step you add introduces a new point for possible failure. I...

Yes it will get worse. It will get worse until there is a powerful movement to make it get better.

It was raining all day here so I skimmed through the rest of season 2 and it just keeps getting worse. I deleted season 3 and 4, which I had downloaded, without watching any of it. They changed the premise too much by adding diversity and it made the whole thing ridiculous. There has never been...

This is a most important point which I would have mentioned in any lengthier discussion of the story. There really isn't any choice but to control and protect the fertile females. They can't be given "freedom" in the current sense of that word. The imperative of this fact gets forgotten in the...

I think the reason is because NetFlix demands diversity in the cast. They really did alter the story a great deal to allow for all these non-White characters. When elements are forced into something for political or financial reasons then that thing can never be called art. The Handmaid's Tale...

Given a long enough time frame, all SCUBA and free divers will get ear problems. I have goo building up in my ears constantly. I use a cap full of Hydrogen Peroxide in each ear to clean them out and prevent infection. I think we talked about this before but it's worth repeating for everyone's...

There's no duck in duck sauce, it's just some fruit puree with sugar and corn starch. Did you know that there usually isn't any plum in the plum sauce? Check the ingredients list next time. It's usually made with pumpkin puree. You have to watch out for these gooks, they're sneaky.

I used to attend martial arts demos and all sorts of seminars but I never met any Capoiera people. It looks pretty kool though. There is a principle of energy production/conservation in Capoiera that is common to all of the more complex martial arts systems. Notice the long, unbroken chain of...

Of course I did. My comment is about Ted Cruz's response to the line of questioning that posits "this only happens in America" as a premise. That premise is in error and if Ted Cruz wasn't stupid he could have called those reporters out on it.

Yeah, I'm having trouble with mice and chipmunks as well. I have chickens so that means rodents can thrive from the chicken feed. There isn't much I can do about them. They ate a few of my squash seedlings and they dug around in some of my pots. They do that every year. I don't have a good...
