Same here. But it's not about the porn, it's about the girl being a pornstar. Hnnngggg

Lolol

well played, sir

2001 7.3 126,000 miles. I'm underpowered compared to the newer powertrains. But then I don't have the maintenance issues either. Mine will run on pretty much anything from normal diesel to frier grease to waste motor oil.

Excellent busteaux. Today's is Broway's birthday, huzzah!

Yeah this. Plus I knew all about it to begin with.

I wonder how well someone like her does financially with all these endeavors she has. I could see her making anywhere as low as 50k/yr to something like 500k+. Really no earthly idea. I think she has e-books, sponsorship deals and instructional vids that she sells (?) or youtubes or something. idk.

RIP SGT

a) I find it difficult to believe there was a homeless outside Comerica Park
b) That feels like a 20 spot to me, idk at least as much as you paid for parking for 3 hours.

csb time

Got the big ass truck loaded up with an 18' dual axle trailer and 7,000+ of this new line of composite decking material. Strapped it in with two 10,000lb rated straps across the top & bottom. My buddy is following me out of the lot to make sure everything's cool & it's fine. I turn right to get on the expressway he turns left to go home. The instant I get on the on ramp the expressway the entire load shifts back and to the right. I'm fishtailing like a mofo navigating an on ramp in downtown Grand Rapids in the midday traffic with all lanes of traffic busy and cars speeding by at 80 mph. Manage to get it pulled over to the side of the road without wiping anyone or myself out but the load is completely ****ed so I have to restack all 7,000 pounds on the side of the expressway. Called my buddy who hadn't even made it home yet & he came back out to help me and brought some 2x2's we had discarded from the packaging at the factory.

The problem was that there wasn't enough pressure in the middle of the load so the boards on the edges stayed high and tight but the entire middle section went down and to the side, so when we got it restacked we put a 2x2's under the straps to keep the pressure down in the middle. My buddy agreed to follow me up to watch out for any more problems so I took the back roads doing 45-50 mph the whole 2.5 hours. Must have had a parade of about 40 cars behind me by the time I hit Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin. I didn't get home until 10:30pm making it a 15.5 hour work Saturday

Lessons Learned in order of increasing importance:

a) The coefficient of friction for composite decking is low.
b) Go to the Blessing of the Bikes and drink all weekend at some point in my life. Try to bang a biker chick but not to get stabbed by her old man.
c) You can save a lot of money doing factory direct if you know a guy but it's factory direct so you gotta take care of the shipping yourself so keep that in mind.
d) Hire someone to do the shipping. By the time you pay for rental/trailer/gas you'll be about even with the cost of hiring a shipping/freight company to do it for you. That leaves you with negative 15.5 hours of labor and countless negative freerolls with regard to personal injury & property damage. Not to mention kicking your friends Saturday plans right in the balls.

Yeah, having it delivered is always the best option.

I made green sauce the other day. Imma put that **** on everything.

It's a couple of the other office bros that seem to think the shaker is a fashion accessory - one even has a 40 serve tub of brotein sitting on his desk like it's a bowling trophy or something.

In terms of diet, I'm on about three shakes a week (basically post workout since I usually won't eat for another couple hours). Don't worry, I can eat my daily requirement of protein in meat and a couple other people's too

The real lesson is whenever driving near a passenger vehicle with a trailer or a loaded bed just assume the driver is someone with no experience loading or driving trailers and could jackknife or dump the haul at any moment.

Glad you and everyone around you was okay. IMO the people renting out that equipment should be required to give you advice on hauling. I have so many friends who've had dirtbikes, jet skis, PVC pipe, whatever fly out the back of their trailer because it wasn't strapped in properly and "it'll be fine" didn't work out.

That composite decking is super slippery when stacked.

That too.

I have an uncle in construction and they move all kinds of heavy equipment, mostly in Michigan but in the midwest more generally. I had to rent and not borrow one of his trucks which would have been:

a) more robust in terms of towing & trailer capacity and
b) able to be loaded with a forklift because the trailer would have been above the wheelwells so it would have saved a lot of time loading but also been in the original packaging which would have made it less likely to shift in transit.

However, due to how those trucks are licensed as commercial vehicles you need a CDL to operate them. However, they'll give any old jackass weekend warrior (ie me) access to what I had. Which makes the task more fraught even with the experience and skill of the driver held constant.

I think it's clear who's to blame for all these stupid government regulations.

Nice analysis of a bunch of diff protein bars. Seems legit imo.

Cliffs:

Tier 1 Lean Clean Powerhouses: Quest Bar, VPX Life Lift, Rise bar, Oatmega 3
Tier 2 Upper Echelon: VPX Zero Impact, ON Whey Crisp, Power Crunch, Green's + Protein
Tier 3 Travel Companions: Dymatize Elite, thinkThin, Detour Classic, Pure Protein, Detour Low Sugar, ProMax LS, Powerbar Protein Plus
Tier 4 Middle of Nowhere: Atkins Advantage, Doctor's CarbRite, Muscle Milk, Balance Bar, CLIF Builder's Bar, LUNA Protein, MetRX Protein Plus
Tier 5 The Nuclear Waste Zone/AKA Garbage: Supreme Protein, ISS Oh Yeah!, ABB Steel, ZonePerfect, EAS Lean 15, ProMax, EAS Myoplex 30, MetRX Big 100

I got an "oh yeah" protein bar at the gym the other day. I think food supplements suck but I forgot to eat and was feeling sick.

The bar had less protein than fat or sugar, and that wasn't including all the sugar alcohols. lol

Has the DadBod is Worse Than Ebola BroScienceLife been posted?

Apparently anti-vaxxers are not very tolerant of the free exchange of ideas*:

Hard to find in between all my cool stories but yes:

I just Googled Food Babe.

Legit furious now. Leaving before I fly off the handle on someone.

I eat so many Quest bars it's starting to become a problem. Have probably eaten 1-2 a day every day for the last two months.

Thought it probably had. Always good for a giggle m8

Links? I googled too but just see a mountain of nonsense. Anything in particular set you off? Sorry in advance for asking you to relive the horror.

Sounds expensive. Unless you're a billionaire. In which case, congrats!

Food Babe says stuff like vinegar makes you fat because our body can't handle acidic food.

Then eats pickles.

I've got a $50/month quest bar habit. ****in breakin me man.
