The many faces of Geekhack

[iri]

New here, seems like a good place to introduce myself (in addition, of course, to the noob thread). Also was asked in the OT fashion thread to pics or it didn't happen, so pics.

Hahahahaha.... look at the wedding photo on the wall in 3rd pane

I bet all the Geekhackers were like,, OMG hotness,, nooooooo she's taken.....

That's actually just a painting by Jack Vettriano, but if you look closely, you can see my wedding ring in the first frame, and one of our engagement photos in the top left corner of frames one and two. I've actually lost thirty pounds since we got married, though, so I'm glad you can't see the picture too closely.

It'd be weird if someone picked up on "all" the details... which would mean they spent an inordinate amount of time fixated on the photos

Hey, it's the internet, you never know... I'm always paranoid someone will CSI my home address out of a photo or something.

I have been known to ferret out little details from reflections in a photo from time to time, for fun.

Also, there is no apparent identifying information from exif in that image file you posted, so you're safe there.

[TimIsABat]

When I want to post up personal pictures I like to post up my before and after pictures

Freshman year of high school


Now ish:


One kinda shirtless picture after winning a big competition:


And one flattering picture of myself XD

[MOZ]

Wow, you lost a lot of weight, huh?

[TimIsABat]

Wow, you lost a lot of weight, huh?

Over 60 lbs XD

[MOZ]

Wow, you lost a lot of weight, huh?

Over 60 lbs XD

How?

[TimIsABat]

Wow, you lost a lot of weight, huh?

Over 60 lbs XD

How?

One really bad way xD...I ran everyday for 30 mins and ate replaced dinner with cereal. No muscle stability and just lost fat. I still fluctuate weight, and now I am trying to maintain weight at 150 lbs (was 190 in that pic) but build more muscle.

[iri]

what is a "replaced dinner with cereal"?

[SpAmRaY]

Instead of eating a dinner meal he just ate cereal.

I'm pretty sure cereal, even raisin bran is high on the glycemic index on par with potato chips.

Yeah, I didn't know any of that at the time. Even though it has a high GI, it still was a lot less than the Filipino food that I would eat at dinner. It was a tip my friend gave me...and at the time I was desperate to lose weight for a girl and because I was medically obese which isn't good. I was a stupid ass kid when I was growing up.

[rowdy]

Depends on the cereal.  I eat Weetbix.

So I grew up in Australia (lived in Melbourne,Vic. from 1992-2001, and I'm still an Aussie citizen), and I just ran out of Vegemite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The big ass jar of it I bought back a couple of years ago... it lasts forever ) A 220g jar of it on Amazon will cost me $10 shipped... How much would it cost a fellow mate to send me some?! I assume I'd have to buy a decent amount for it to be worth the shipping price but I need me my Vegemite and cheese sandwich! ) Depending on how much I'd have to buy and what the shipping price would be like, I might actually consider doing this, if someone was willing.

Vegemite...
Actually had to look it up, never heard of it. How does it taste?

[VesperSAINT]

Vegemite...

I believe Vegemite only tastes like Vegemite It's a rather unique flavor and quite the acquired taste for many. I believe that Marmite might be the closest thing to it but I've never had that.

Marmite is british vegemite. Almost certain it tastes exactly the same.

hahahaha. it's not that filipino cuisine is bad, it's just that MOST cuisines were established when most of the population were farmers and lived in a world with less automation.

Therefore, they NEEDED that high energy intake to get through their daily workload.


Sitting in wheelie chairs all day like us, was NOT in the design spec of "cultural" food.

[MOZ]

Indian cuisine is perhaps one of the most fattening and grease heavy.

So these two have been discussed many times on geekhack. Its about time we do worldwide group buy.

Vegemite is the best and Vegemite and cheese is even better! I just had a look at shipping prices for you and it's pretty expensive. For a 400g jar it would cost you roughly $17-$18 shipped to the US. Which is the same as what it costs to get one off amazon. Actually it looks like the 600g jars are cheaper than the 400g jars on Amazon

You should get one of these  ) It'll last you several lifetimes:

Am I the only one here who doesn't like vegemite?

[fohat.digs]

I haven't had it in at least a decade, but this thread sent me to ebay.

$10-20 for a decent-sized jar, delivered, is not bad.

And people carp about the price of keyboards.
