What did you do today?

[Rhienfo]

I've been shaving my back and shoulder hair basically my entire life, 1-2x a week in the shower (back hair grows faster in Summer???) and today I was gonna do my same old routine, but realized there is zero point. I've been alone my entire life and never date, no one wants to **** me, and I never take my shirt off in public anyway. Who am I doing this for? What is the point? Why do anything to improve my image, really? I think I'm just going to stop all upkeep for a while and completely let myself decline, as I now truly see no logical reason to keep healthy and well-kempt. I'm going full Ted Kazinski, no more shaving, working out, watching my weight, haircuts, or planning outfits. This Summer I am going to get real gross and see if I'm happier that way.

You should still have some routine (you should maintain a healthy weight for example). But if you feel more comfortable/want to start not shaving and growing your hair out like that, then go for it. I do think you should be somewhat well-kept and still exercise. Do stuff differently but don't go on a decline. It's only gonna make things worse for you.

I agree with Rhienfo for the most part. It's fine if you forego maintaining your appearance, but you might regret letting your health decline as a result of the way you're temporarily feeling. A little extra fat might actually be good, depending on your current build. There was a girl who used to work at the Cool Stuff Inc in Winter Park who I overheard mentioning to one of her coworkers that she prefers a man with a beer belly. "More cushion for the pushin'" were her exact words. My of my female friends once told me she prefers men who are balding, so...

I started trimming my body hair with clippers a couple years ago for both appearance and general comfort (you know how gross we can get in Florida). Curiously, I've been letting my head and facial hair go wild.  Also curiously, my friend has realized women seem to have a strange attraction to him when he lets himself go (days without showering, no haircuts, grubby clothes, etc.). It might be pheromones or something similarly primal. So, maybe this will be good for you. I look forward to updates.

Waking around Disney concert hall.  Mehhh.. the speaker array looks pretty high end and they've maximally controlled reverb. But meh.. The garden is nice and cool

Ordered a $500 bottle. Because y not, I'm totally with client. Honestly taste the same as 20 bottle. It's not even fancy just your regular upcharge. Dime a dozen expensive, nothing exclusive about it.

Red wine is dumb.. it makes you feel like you've been poisoned. There's nothing sophisticated about it, it's just a poorly made intoxicant. Whiskey gets the job done fast and is exceptionally pure.

Goes great with red meat. No it does not. It makes everything smell like a vinegary hospital.

Once I walked into a store and the lady behind the counter said that a belly is really nice to have because it's so comfortable to lie on it. She was attractive so her opinion counts.

When intoxicated. The preface to which one could lift a lot of weight is inaccurate. It's only the case that the pain is mitigated . Whatever damage is incured will be reckoned with upon sobriety.

Iri. You are an ok guy. Tp4 apologizes for past transgressions. It is clear that the Iri is working hard to make it in the world
No better or worse than any other proletariat. Tp4 thanks the Iri for his long patronage at the gekyhack and the continuance of the forum's formated malaise.

I reckon soft bellies serve a purpose within the lexicon o' love, as do hard bodies. The girl at the game shoppe I mentioned was attractive as well, so her opinion was also relevant.

Usually guys say that is a plus for specific positions, but if she was talking about a man I'm just imagining a woman being slammed in the face with a beer belly repeatedly

wonder if it leaves an imprint like memory foam
"I got lucky today" *lifts up shirt showing someone's upper face imprinted on their belly

Omg Escalade V, its sooo fast.  Had to cart around a big bosses 2 secretary / gfs.  They had 100lbs of luggage each. Car didn't even feel it. Not terribly easy to turn though. It kind of just wants to go straight.

Just don't buy from the dudes outside of gas stations. Fine a fellow in a nice park, or street corner.

@ Aquarium. sigh......  Torturing animals for profit...

Torturing animals

I have mixed feelings about zoos and such. Life for the prisoners is miserable, to be sure (although it is an "easy" life and they get free food and medical care).

But a single enclosure is likely to be seen by hundreds (or thousands) of people per day. That increases their awareness of the variety of creatures sharing the world with us. The big question is : Does this increase or decrease "tourism" or whatever form of invasion it is when humans take themselves into the creatures' natural habitat?

If seeing a panda in a zoo satisfies your curiosity enough to make YOU decide not to tromp into THEIR natural forest - that is a big win, and the sacrifice of the few has imporved the lives of the many.

Disgusting. In civilised countries, drugs are sold via geocaching.

You know, (American Indian) businesses are pretty well run. No slop, good management.

The existence of chicken fried steak is proof that no one actually wants to eat beef beef. Human beings are fundamental starchivores. We want dat delicious wheat.

The existence of chicken fried steak

For a former fried chicken enthusiast such as yourself, the "existence" of chicken fried steak must make sense, at least.

Basically this. If you walk into a diner and can't decide between the steak and fried chicken, why not combine them? American ingenuity at it's finest (although I suspect the inventor had German roots and was trying to make a shnitzle)

Tp4 only eat dat Indian-Taco, which is a giant fried bread topped with butt-poof fuel.  Easily veganible.

[noisyturtle]

Oh man, Indian fry bread is so good. I miss that about the midwest.

They sell it in crates, that's what most restaurants use. You can buy it and fry it yourself.

they use specific special little iron skillets, and I think there is some sugar added to the oil

If you think about how cat fish live and what we dump into rivers.  It's kinda super gross that people eat it

[fohat.digs]

kinda super gross

Catfish is not too bad, especially the small ones. Their profoundly horrible neighbor is carp, the fish with the most vile and repulsive taste and smell of all.

Icebreaker Duo, 

Strawberry flavor is just ok.  Watermelon flavor is fantastic.

Finally finished installation on the new motorized mount for desk and tv.

They're much faster these days such that it's no longer a chore waiting for them to adjust.

Back in the day, you'd fall asleep when the motor took their sweet time. Or if you kiz remember the hand crank models. OMG.

[tp4tissue]

Wurl o' Goo 2.  Pretty fun. Some new stuffs.

[tp4tissue]

Score !!

This seller on Ebay sent Tp4 a brand new motherboard.  Brand new, no screw marks, not a salvage. Not even initialized with dell's service tag.

Bummed that Tp4 had to buy it in the first place, but, nonetheless, silver lining.

Picked, peeled and sliced apples for an apple pie; Laid them in a tin and sprinkled sugar and ... cumin instead of cinnamon. Noticed the smell. Made chutney.

Tp4 has had apple pie over hot white rice, it's basically just like curry.

I once had a chunky mango curry caramel sauce over breast milk ice cream, one of the best ice creams I've ever had. Still remember over 12 years later....

breast milk ice cream? Cannot be good - breast milk tastes weird.

I know, but had to leave the Silo for one day, harvesting supplies, looting some hardware... I did not have a chance, left my Legendary Scientists' Vest with +4 against viruses in the Silo

Costco is also a hotspot for infection.  Covid rates rapidly increasing in US.

Cleaned out the old movie-puter desktop cpu cooler. Phewww. Dusty.

Really liking 140mm fans.  Huge advantage in cleaning the fan blades, you can get the little vacuum brush in there, the 120mm gaps are a bit too small.

Temp dropped ~2.5 degrees from cleaning the heatsink and fan. Reduced rpm by 300.

Life has been really aimless and pointless the past week. Got nothing done. Did nothing. Accomplished nothing.
Just rotted away this week.

Apparently a small number had just come in to Walgreens an hour before, the official rollout is "early September" and the first pharmacist didn't even know they were there.

I asked if they had had any bad reactions, and they said "Not yet - you will be our first patient."

But I got a fresh batch, anyway ....

Will call around tomorrow.

All wastewater indicators are on alert. Major rise in infections.
