They’re responsible for more fatalities than all other dog breeds combined. But I’m sure they’re just a misunderstood breed.

I'm probably getting trolled but you guys surely don't think that video is legit do you? Did you even look at the woman's linkedin page? Notice her location is Los Angeles? Have you even been to her Galaktika website? You can buy some sweet t-shirts and what appears to be a Galaktika perfume on there. Everything about this screams fake and she's some sort of actress/entertainer/marketer. She has a fashion marketing degree from SDA Bocconi, among other business type degrees. If her linkedin is to be believed.

Two of the better guitarists I know and have known since grade school are MDs, one being an ER doc and the other a General Surgeon.

re: what awkward conversation have you had with an in-law

Was your future FIL at your bachelor party? That would be more awkward than any conversation

Not mine but I was at a good buddy's Vegas bachelor party years ago, 2000 I believe. His dad lined up two strippers to put on a show in the large two bedroom corner suite his dad and FIL were sharing at a popular strip hotel/casino. After putting on a helluva raunchy show in front of all of us, dad and FIL included, the strippers take the bachelor back to one of the bedrooms and proceed to give him a private show. Dude is since divorced and remarried to a much younger woman now but needless to say that was pretty damn awkward, to me at least, but being 21 years old at the time I just went with it.

Did you or your wife have a dog like that when you were 16? Or maybe one of your parents? Some scientists believe that it may be possible to pass on memories via DNA. He could be recalling the memory of a family member that's been passed down, which would also explain some of the other similar incidents mentioned in the thread.

From the article: "A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren"."

Doesn't that more or less explain the "natural instinct" of animals? Memories of eating that poison berry or getting killed by that predator that are passed down from generation to generation, in turn leading future generations to avoid that threat instinctively? Since humans are animals as well, isn't it possible this phenomena also applies to us?

Youtube TV has greatly exceeded my expectations. Also has my local ABC, NBC, & CBS so no need for an HD Antenna.

My wife had the flu a few years ago and was completely down, in bed for several days. I slept in the same bed with her throughout the ordeal and didn't so much as catch a sniffle. Wasn't taking any vitamins or supplements at the time and I've never had the flu shot or had the flu since I was a child. Anecdotes are fun aren't they?

re: What's your opinion on vaping?

Meh, it helped me quit smoking but I hated using it in public. Been nicotine free for 3+ years now so that's a win in my book.

Garmin and TomTom watches have GPS that break down your run afterwards.

Just start a run on your watch, run, and stop it. It'll tell you average mile, each splits, fastest mile etc.

No, I'm talking about how you track HIIT times. Are you glancing down at your watch during the 60 second run and also on the 120 second walk? Seems difficult, especially on the run which is supposed to be at or near full exertion, if I understand HIIT correctly.

HIIT

Look at incorporating 60/120's into your run plan.

Warm up with a one mile run then do 60 seconds of sprints and 120 seconds of walking until you can flip that.

Try to do those intervals for 1-2 miles.

Curious how people keep up with these times without having to constantly glance down at a watch?
