re: Anyone else do intermediate fasting 16/8?

I’ve done it so much in the past that now it’s just second nature. I typically go 16-18 hours without a real meal, I have done it strict but now I’m not worried about calories from a pre workout drink or anything like that. People can argue about this or that, but to me it’s still calories in and out. You can blow the whole day in one binge meal, but the longer you do it strictly the more your body will reject doing that. That’s my experience intermittent fasting.
Yeah, I used to buy into all the holistic arguments around metabolism and fasting and such when I first started like 15 years ago, but I just come down on it being an easier way to manage your caloriic intake these days. I still fast frequently, but I also find myself grabbing a protein shake or yogurt shake pretty often these days after a heavy weight-training morning. Of course, I'm also on tirz, so I'm more worried about actually successfully hitting my daily macros than caloric intake.
I think that I DO still buy into the multi-day fasts and ketosis for more holistic health benefits, but that's a separate discussion.

Prefer gas over induction, but if I had electric... I'd definitely have to upgrade to induction. Electric stovetops scare the hell out of me now after someone set my sweet potato casserole onto an electric stovetop (that they didn't realize was on) for Thanksgiving at a relative's and it exploded, painting the kitchen with sweet potatoes.
re: Work boot suggestions please
Posted by hogfly on 9/22/26 at 12:26 pm to AwgustaDawg
One thing I found for boots if you're wearing them daily:
If you can purchase two pairs to alternate, you might get 4X the life out of them. A lot of boots start to fall apart due to internal moisture from sweating leading to deterioration of the leather, insole and misdsole. If you're able to alternate the boots each day, then they can dry out fully on the inside on their "day off." A boot dryer is also a cheaper alternative, but then you have to remember to use it on a daily basis.
Also, if they're glued instead of stitched boots (or if they have glued soles), don't leave them inside a hot car in the summertime for prolonged periods. That can cause delamination.

You should read the YA novel "No More Dead Dogs" by Gordan Korman. The whole premise is a kid writes a scathing book report of Old Shep, My Pal where he blasts the trope of dogs always dying in youth literature and gets assigned detention. Shenanigans ensue, but the whole book is a pretty awesome critique of dogs always dying. It's pretty awesome. :lol:
It’s very Ryan Murphy. I had to start researching the Lizzie Borden history after the first episode. Evidently there’s a book that was written that sort of pushes a lot of the theories that Murphy incorporates into this version.

That said, an Iron Ranger isn't a great choice for what the OP wants. I'd just get a steel toe Keen for what he described.
Agreed on the Iron Rangers. I have two pairs that Ive had for close to 20 years and love them, but I wear them mainly for office work and going out (look damned good with cuffed selvage denim). The flat soles aren’t ideal for outside work in my opinion because they’re pretty slick in wet conditions. I’ve about killed myself stepping on a wet cross tie while in the yard. Don’t get me started on wearing them in ice/snow.

Exactly the conversation we had with some of our friends last night when discussing the season. No one in our group likes the character.

Also I need to rewatch S1 because I thought the weird ex cop who looks like Truman Capote was killed last year.
Exactly what my wife and I said. I even thought they showed him getting executed in the season recap at the beginning.
One of my favorites. Saw them last tour, and they STILL put on a hell of a show. New album should be out soonish (November is the rumor). Supposedly there's one album coming out that's "more dismal" than Songs of a Lost World. And another that's coming out AFTER that which is much more upbeat and poppy. I wish they'd reverse the release order of those two.

If National Parks appeal to you, then Estes Park is a great option. RMNP is absolutely amazing. It's also (as wth most national parks) amazingly crowded a lot of the time. I'm sure it will be a little less nuts in October, but oftentimes there's very little parking, and you need to take a shuttle in to trails. That being said... it is very, very pretty.
Frisco is a great option as others said. You can access a lot of different "ski towns" like Breckenridge and Copper Mountain from there. I think someone else suggested it in a different thread, but doing the Vail Pass paved trail on a bike is like 15 miles, mostly downhill, and they'll shuttle you up to vail Pass, then you just ride your bike all the way back down to Frisco. Very manageable for families.

Price of Fear is excellent. Only bummer is having to wait for the next book.

I know I’m the only person that thinks this, but Roy annoys me. They’ve turned him in to a guy that just grunts and drops F bombs every single word. Nobody acts like that.
It’s just very cartoonish
I agreed... untli E5, in which Roy becomes possibly the most hilarious part of the episode. We need more doped up Roy :lol:
And yes.. the Jump Around scene (with Keeley saying, "Boys just love a song that tells them what to do") along with the "Wassup!!" reminded me so much of the 50 year old jock/frat bros I know getting turnt at wedding receptions (one of my wife's brothers specifically). :lol:

Another thing I like about them: we are often on the road and staying in AirBnBs. Being able to just toss all the groceries we bought into the electric ice chest when we checkout then plug into car before moving to the next one is awesome. Then just pull chest out of car and unload into fridge at new AirBnB. Yes, I know you can do the same with ice chest, but not dealing with ice melt is fantastic for a lot of our groceries.

E-collar training a dog isn't just slapping a collar on the dog and shocking it. The dog has to understand what it's getting corrected for. Use the collar to reinforce a command - not teach it.
So if dog normally knows recall command and obeys it as OP described, but struggles at night and and in stimulating environment with that command, then e-collar is used to get their attention, right?
re: I need an effective dog shock collar. Recommendations?

That’s the same one I got that was top rated on Chewy.
Sport dog are really solid but pricey. I got the highest rated one on chewy (I’m not field training a dog, just need to get his attention when his lab brain wonders) and it’s plenty for my needs and was like 40 bucks instead of 150.
I guess if you feel like you have unfinished business with the game, then you might be motivated to coach... but damn... there's absolutely nothing about coaching in this day and age that appeals to me. What a frustrating grind while having to spin way too many plates in this current NIL era.

Saw they got AOTW on Stereogum, but I haven't really been loving a lot of their AOTWs lately. Then a positive review on Pitch4k. Then seeing them praised here finally moved me to action. Listened at the gym this morning and definitely dug it!
I'll add: ours freaking freezes stuff. We have to be careful not to turn it down too cold, as it will freeze items. That's actually one of my complaints: you can set the thermostat to 35 and items on the bottom will still freeze.
re: Electric Cooler
Posted by hogfly on 9/9/26 at 9:26 am to LanierSpots
Those of you who struggled with items staying cold: did you not have a power source for it? Ours can power off DC or AC, so we run it off the DC cigarette lighter in the car when driving but switch to a power bank (Bluetti) when at camp as necessary. My son has his Tacoma set up to charge his powerbank as well off a Bluetti Charger 1. Main issue he has with the fridge is that it puts off a lot of heat, which can heat up the sleep space in truck bed (great for winter, but not so much when it's hot outside).
