If you use water from your water pouch to bless an ankh then it provides a resurrection in the same place with all of your gear.

I have a Chamorro coworker who had a whole rant on how Hawaiian pizza should have spam instead of ham and how awesome spam is. I think it’s safe to add the people of Guam to your list.

99% of all Americans today either are an immigrant themselves or have an ancestor within living memory who was one

That’s a shocking stat to me. My perspective is probably skewed because I am from a small town in central Appalachia so nearly everyone in the county was from one of the families that settled the area shortly before the American Revolution. I would have assumed the percentage of people whose families immigrated here before the Civil War was much higher.

A new version of Mbin was released I think yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the update.

Is registration for fedia.io currently working? I’ve trying to set up an account for a couple of days. When I fill out the registration page and hit “register” nothing happens.

There is some variation by state but in the US almost all licensed medical professionals are required to participate in continuing education to keep their license.

Soups and stews are great for meal prep. They’re also great for weight loss because they have a high water content adding bulk without calories. They are also usually easy to make in a slow cooker.

Push, pull legs. It’s a 3 day resistance training routine.

Using an exercise app is important to keep me going. Being able to track performance improvement is very motivating to me. I’ve used Strava and gymshark in the past.

The mods don’t look particularly active so I’m going to make a guess based on how the reddit community worked.

Medical interventions are fine to talk about so long as they are kept in perspective. Medication, surgery, therapy, etc are tools that can help with weight loss. They aren’t a magic bullet and losing weight requires effort and commitment with or without them. They shouldn’t be pushed on others and no one should be discouraged from using them. Respect that the journey is a personal one.

I am restarting as well. I was a pandemic weight loser, from the end of 2020 to the beginning of 2023 I went from 470 to 180 and over the last year I’ve gone back up to almost 300 and have mostly abandoned my exercise routine. I’ve been working for a couple weeks to get back to exercising and get back under 200.

Looks like one mod hasn’t posted for 7 months and the other posted 2 weeks ago but is very infrequent.

Top Gun for the nes. I never actually finished the first mission. I could beat Mike Tyson but that aircraft carrier kicked my ass.

Mortgage payments cover insurance and taxes in addition to the mortgage itself. Unless you have a variable rate mortgage the portion of the payment going to the loan doesn’t change but the amount needed to cover taxes and insurance can.

It has to be the early 90’s, he was born in 1980 and looked like this in 1998.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it

Brooklyn is in New York. Also, actual book bans are unconstitutional under the first amendment. What these laws do is prohibit state funded entities like public schools and public libraries in the state from having the books available. The books are still available in privately owned places.

Have you seen South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?

Blame Canada! It isn’t a real country anyway.

Try Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. It’s a similar kind of horror comedy.

I prefer that everything that touches my skin to be woven cotton. I don’t like tight clothes and wicking material is evil. Knit, polyester, or those sweat clothes that have a fuzzy inside are itchy and aggravating but wicking material is pure concentrated evil in physical form. What’s most comfortable is a tee and gym shorts. Jeans replace the gym shorts to go out. If I have to dress up I typically wear dress pants from a “work brand” like Dickies because they are a bit thicker and looser than most dress pants.
