Re: OFFICIAL Eat Right & Get Fit Challenge
I started this thread, but now I have zero motivation to workout. And the Air Force shitcanned the waist measurement from the PT test, so I don't have test anxiety anymore because that was my biggest worry. COVID stopped all PT testing with a projected date to restart of this April. We'll see if it...

I think it's way more useful for more macro analysis than an individual play. "hey this QB threw a bunch of really difficult passes and completed them, maybe the QB is really good and the coordinator sucks" vs the polar opposite "Jimmy Gorappolo last year"

Re: Jeeves builds his own PC.. or does he?
As someone who has built and bought, unless you are going for really high end components, the amount you save building it yourself vs buying usually ends up being somewhere in the vicinity of $150-200 for a $1500 rig. You get to pick the components, and if you get the right motherboard and power sup...

Only ever owned a condo. Have minor experience in having contractors rebuild stairs in condo complex. This is my 2 cents
DO NOT BUY A HOUSE YOU HAVE TO DO A MAJOR REMODEL ON. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
Way too much money/time/suffering for a major remodel on a house you are living in.

For any of the even mildly Starcraft nerds out there...the lack of keyboard use is killing me (It's MUCH faster to build buildings and queue up units and select which units to move/attack with the keyboard in that game). Great blast from the past though.
