I have it. Only real exploit is first game is played by mariners. The value increase is based on batting average, though it has to be below 1.000. So if you come out and dominate first game with team average of like .750 (possible but hard) you can get a stacked team easily.

Also knuckle balls are awesome against AI.

like 45 minutes a day. if you can jog light jogging, if not brisk walking. light weight lifting if you want, like dead lift, squat, bench.

if you want to go harder you could do like 20 minutes of HIIT and then like 40 minutes of yoga or something. or 40 minutes of just walking after.

primary/elementary school i was all about sweats. i would wear jeans sometimes but sweats were so comfortable.

i had a chin strap for like 3 months in college

i had a solo goatee (aka nut duster) for like 1 month in college

my official lifting shirts from like 14 to 22 were blue flannel shirts with the sleeves cut off

matching windbreaker jacket/pants combo was the shit in like 7th and 8th grade.

wool socks went with everything high school. i started wearing wool socks in football because they stopped me from getting any blisters and then i just kept wearing with everything.

like 3rd-5th grade i was all about hiking boots.

loved tie-dye as a kid.

so like 4th grade my typical outfit might be tie-dye shirt, black or grey sweat pants that are probably too short for me because I always grew at a ridiculous rate, and hiking boots.

Also, if you don't believe that Native Americans ever built anything, I recommend going to some ruins. I was amazed when I went to Mesa Verde in Colorado and Hovenweep near the Utah/Colorado border. They didn't build massive cities like Europeans did (as far as I know), but they did build settlements and villages.


Look up Cahokia (thanks Civilizations!). It was as large as London in the 1300s with 40-60k people. Of course it was dwarfed by the largest, which were somewhere between like 500k-1.5M.

yes. Candace. 2 years older than me but I was always tall for my age. From when I was in 1st to 4th grade we walked to the bus stop together and would regularly play tether ball, basketball after school and would play in the creek together all summer.

by the time i was in 5th and she was 7th she had gotten really hot and i started being really awkward around her so she stopped hanging out with me.

9th grade we started hanging out again though it was her taking more of a big sister role. well not quite that because she would flirt with me in front of the 9th grade girls all the time (which raised my stock with the 9th grade girls considerably).

she didn't go to college, i did, i asked her out summer after Freshman year in college, she said no.

painting - oil and acrylic. I will get into water eventually but it has different techniques.

home remodel - if that counts. ive spent the last 7 years turning my home from a shit hole that should burn down to a nice home.

auto repair/tinkering - i work on my stuff that is out of warranty.

music - i can sort of play guitar and bass. used to be in a number of shitty garage bands as a bass player. every 6 months or so i pick it up for a month or so my skills don't totally disappear. ive been thinking of picking up an alto sax or trumpet. I played sax as a kid.

woodworking - haven't made anything in a couple of years though. last thing i made was a nice entertainment center.

TopicGeneral diet tips for losing weight and getting fit?
KILBOTz
06/28/18 2:13:23 PM

Its all about finding something you can sustain for the rest of your life. Can you continue eating chicken, broccoli and rice for the rest of your life? If that sounds like a miserable existence to you then that way of losing weight won't work for you long term.

For a period of 1-2 weeks of normal eating figure out where your calories are coming from. When I got fat I had been eating a ton of fast food, soda, chips, sweets, basically total junk food. I found that I was able to cut out soda and sweets completely, fast food mostly but I couldn't cut out chips, when I would try I would binge on other stuff (nuts or the likes).

So when you find the bad foods you replace what you can and limit what you can't replace. So instead of 2-3 full sized bags of chips a week, I no get 1-2 3 oz bags of chips a week (those ones that sell for like $1.69).

Someone gets impregnated from rape

You: "Well, you should've kept your legs closed when he was forcing his dick inside you"

That's literally you.


I don't think that's "lol" as you put it.

Rape is a case where abortion is acceptable if the woman makes the choice to do so.


Why is rape a case where abortion is acceptable? If life begins at conception or some other time early on making abortion immoral, then why would the fact that rape led to the pregnancy make abortion acceptable?

The same reason why most people agree certain reasons for killing another human are not morally wrong like others.


And what are the reasons when killing another human is morally wrong?

Typically when it is self defense, punishment and war. War is unique, but in self defense and punishment the killing is because the other party did something wrong. The fetus would be without any blame but it is the one paying the ultimate price.

If you believe life begins at conception allowing abortion in any case where the mother's life is not in danger would be murdering an innocent, whether that innocent was created by abortion or incest or some other bad situation.

That presents a curious problem: what if a community wishes to hole up and teach ignorance? Like, things that are genuinely incorrect.


I see that as an unfortunate circumstance that has a lower societal cost than having a centralized organization at the whim of politics and whoever leads the government.

Overall I would rather let individuals or small groups be awful than give the power to the federal government to be awful.

Like can you imagine if Devos was in charge of choosing the books and curriculum that was being taught nation wide? I don't think any centrists/leftists would like that.

very nice property Kilbotz.

i hate my job too, to be honest, so i totally get you. are you gonna save up an extra emergency fund for unforseen circumstances in your new business if you acquire this property? or just jump in once youve had it at your job?

you should definitely get the last year of their expenses. their actual expenses.

as for me, i felt that way in Sacramento and also in Paris


So I figure I will have $100k set aside for rainy day fund. New money in will be used for improvements.

I will shoot for a 90 day closing. I get laid off on October 21st. If I stay until I get laid off I get an additional 13 weeks of pay. So thats a $30k stick they are waving in front of me. I would let the campground close Sept. 15 like normal, I would have that $30k + 6 weeks of vacation + 12 weeks of sick leave paid out.

Starting in September when I took ownership I would open it on Friday/Sat/Sun when I would be on the property. Hopefully that generates some income. It would be a new crowd since it's never been open then but elk, deer, geese, duck are all big with hunters and they like RVing. Skiers and snowboarders I'm not sure. I would be about 2 hours away from Crystal Mountain. The closest places to Crystal Mountain are about 45 minutes away from the north, about 1.5 hours away from the south. So I'm 30 minutes from optimal from the south.
