Shocker I tell ya
A majority black school not great at 2 sports dominated by whites/hispanics

Don't feel too bad those poor kids. I hear their track and basketball programs are just fine

Any weeping for Pope John Paul's track team??

Owen Wilson in an action movie is just laughable

Dylan fricking sucks live. No amount of goodwill that he built up in the 60's-70's excuses the turd that his live show is. Its like he actually despises his audience, does everything he can to be terrible, and yet people still throw money at him.

re: Favorite Apps for Tracking Calories and Macros?

Posted by slinger1317 on 4/14/26 at 2:36 pm to UBamaJelly

I have tried most of the ones mentioned here and keep coming back to My Fitness Pal. I use the paid version, but I have heard there is a workaround.

I log my weight daily, and the food catalog is pretty large. Scanning barcodes of ingredients makes it very easy. I eat the same foods for lunch most days so I can just pull it back up each day.

I don't worry about the calories burned portion. I got my TDEE, set my calories below that, and then set the proportions for macros.

I try to stay as close to it as possible, and if I workout that day then I know I am okay to go over by a few calories.

The best feeling of my day is having 100-200 calories left by 8 pm or so, thats when i get a snack :lol:

We had lobster rolls at Legal Seafood and it was tremendous. Warm lobster stuffed inside a huge buttered roll- very similar to Cane's texas toast.

re: High school kid joking on X about not receiving an offer - bad look or innocent fun?

Posted by slinger1317 on 4/14/26 at 7:37 am to Kinderman

I guess I'm venturing into Boomer territory but I think it is ridiculous the amount of social media posts I see from highschool kids about offers, visits, etc. And it seems to be trickling down to even younger kids too.

The culture around these kids has taught them that they are the star and the world revolves around them, and it seems like the parents are the main drivers of that. Seems like no one is humble anymore.

“travel ball” groups that play together year round in various leagues and don’t play other sports. We’re talking 8 year olds. They have mullets and swaggy clothes and stupid names and redneck parents. They’re also good as shite.

This epidemic is all over the country. Sad thing is that these parents will get more satisfaction out of having a dominant 8 year old than at any other point in their life. Overwhelmingly these young "phenoms" flame out by highschool, or maybe go to a JUCO, and then wind up settling down within 20 miles of their hometown.

But don't try to tell these parents, because they are too narrow minded to think that there is more to life than wearing pink arm bands, necklaces, and winning baseball games at 8 years old.

Posted by slinger1317 on 4/10/26 at 2:47 pm to HDAU

I logged in today to buy tickets. All we are interested in is track, basketball, and swimming.

All men's basketball sessions were sold out, most track sessions were around $700/ticket and swimming was around $1,000 per ticket.

I didn't buy any. We have no plans to go, but if I could make the tickets work it would be a nice summer vacation for my kids to watch the Olympics in person. I will check the secondary market as the games get closer, but not looking promising.

ETA: Hard sided luggage is a bitch. All I've ever had is soft sided and have never had a ripped bag or busted zipper. It is a pain lugging around a hard sided bag, or even trying to squeeze it into an overhead bin.

re: The RHCP doc on netflix basically ignores John Frusciante

Posted by slinger1317 on 4/9/26 at 1:09 pm to The Baker

I may be in the minority but I find the RHCP catalog post-Hillel much better than with him.

I've always heard the other members talk about him, people post about him etc, but with this doc I was able to actually see who he was and what/how he played. He was good, and maybe it was just the stage of the career they were in at that time, but they are so much better from Blood Sugar forward.
