I assisted my mom in her weight loss journey as well. Good year.

I was born with it and no amount of trying and hard work will fix something that wasn't broken in the first place. I'd just be torturing myself. It's difficult to accept that failure as a core part of oneself, but this what I am. For all the guys struggling with xxy, some of us may look unaffected, but we still carry that burden in many different ways.

They are just shoehorning old characters back to the spotlight and it reeks of desperation. Reusing old soundtrack motifs from the Infinity War trailer. Implying that the past 5 years of MCU slop (with a few exceptions) haven't happened. It just feels directionless.

Paolini still has much to learn, although his foray into SF with TSIASOS is much much better.Murtagh by Paolini and To Green Angel Tower part 1 by Tad Williams.

Awesome performance on an old 2020 laptop with gtx1650. I've never actually used DH so I can't compare.

The main cast is superb, but my favorite will always be Bosco.I have rewatched the entirety of Third Watch, a show I only sporadically watched when I was a kid. What an absolute treat.

I would also be fine with the server starting later that sooner, but it's mostly because my creative energy is mostly depleted after work as the project I'm currently on requires a lot of creative thinking. Not much is left for Minecraft.
As for the mods, I'm a generally vanilla player so it's really unimportant what my opinion is on the matter. Whatever works for you guys is okay with me.
Lastly, my build will be even smaller this time around as that's the type of build that makes me the happiest. I realized that while I was producing my singleplayer showcase series on youtube. Small is doable, big is burnout accelerator. I'm not sure what I'll build though. o7

Comment on What are some of your personal misheard lyrics? in ~music
chewonbananas Link"Smoke on the water, fire in the sink." by Deep Purple. As an 11 year old kid I thought it was a song about a kitchen fire. No internet back then to check the actual lyrics."Smoke on the water, fire in the sink." by Deep Purple. As an 11 year old kid I thought it was a song about a kitchen fire.

It is a deeply flawed novel with a few bright spots in an otherwise drab semi autobiographical chronological jumble. Next on is his Your Son Huckleberry Finn.
Ketoesque dieting at first, but considering I had all that fat anyway, I only really ate low carb vegetables and poultry meat. When my weight went down, I started on a high fiber, high protein, medium carb (legumes mostly) diet. I completely stopped consuming any refined sugars, cakes, pastries, gluten based food, pasta, rice, sodas. I eat once a day and drink water only.
The thing that keeps me going is a 2009 lecture from Robert Lustig - Sugar The Bitter Truth. After having watched that and quitting sugar altogether I can say that my memory is better than ever, my blood pressure is down, I am not exhausted all the time, my skin looks fantastic (combined with my years old routine of cold showers), the inflammation in my body is way down, I'm calmer and more clear headed than I ever was.
