    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Any night-time exercisers here have tips for winding down and getting to sleep after a workout? I’ve finally started to find a good routine by working out after kids go to bed at 8:45 or 9PM (GOOD). But when I exercise then, I have a hard time going to sleep before midnight (BAD).

    ***General Cycling Thread***

    After the above post my kids started get sick in alternating cycles, and along with work and holiday stress that screwed any momentum. But I’ve now got a pretty good setup figured out, and am getting used to Zwift workout options (primarily doing individual or group workouts so far). Would try...

    Leg kicks

    By NBA rules that’s an offensive foul on the shooter. There’s a lot of NBA haters in this forum, but the NCAA would do well to adopt this rule.

    What are you drinking tonight?

    Randomly found this at my local grocery store in New Jersey - looking forward to trying it as I’ve never had the opportunity to buy it out here before

    Toyota Rav-4 hybrid or Honda CR-V hybrid?

    FYI the hybrid Rav4 has significantly more power than the regular gas power train. Real world testing here: I drove a 2002 Corolla for a long time and that definitely felt underpowered, but I’ve never felt the hybrid Rav4 to be lacking (my commute of 20 miles is all big highways with lots of...

    Toyota Rav-4 hybrid or Honda CR-V hybrid?

    I love my 2021 Rav4 Hybrid. Real world mileage has been right at 40 mpg average. No mechanical or cosmetic issues so far in 1.5 years and 20k miles.

    NBA: ***2022-2023 NBA season, post season, and offseason***

    The frequency of games makes it such a grind - playing 2 games a week instead of 3 would help tremendously.

    2022 Stock Market

    My My retirement account is down 10.8% for the year. The one move I made was to move accumulated funds out of S&P index fund in late 2021 (close to market peak) into a more conservative fund. Seems like that move saved about 4% for my account. New investments still going primarily into S&P 500...

    Minivan Recommendations

    Another parent at our daycare drives a lifted Ram. Leaves it running while he goes in and out (I guess it’s hazardous to stop and start the engine too quickly?). Doesn’t look ridiculous or impractical at all as he climbs up the steps to remove his infant from the car seat….

    HYSA recommendations?

    How fluid is the myga? We're just parking emergency fund cash, so we need to remain totally fluid with minimal delays, penalties etc. I also prefer to avoid a brokerage account because I'm not sure I'd have the discipline to keep this cash out of riskier positions.

    Minivan Recommendations

    Last year we bought a new (2021) Sienna due to two factors: 1.) AWD (was not available on any other minivans at the time) 2.) hybrid engine We’ve been happy with it overall. Our observed mileage of 31.7 doesn’t match the stated 35mpg, but my wife drives it with an absolute lead foot which is...

    HYSA recommendations?

    Thanks for all the info. Since there’s not much commentary on convenience or features other than the rate, I’m assuming they are all fairly similar. With that said I’m planning to try Brio since they are at 3.75% right now.

    HYSA recommendations?

    With current rates, we should park some savings in a HYSA. Seeing rates around 3-4% advertised for online-only accounts. Anyone have experience with an HYSA provider that you would recommend or avoid? Any tips or issues to watch out for or consider? TIA

    NBA: Cyclones in the pros 2021-23 (hoops)

    If the game were today Tyrese should be a lock. He benefits a big from being in the eastern conference and not competing with Luka and Steph.

    ***Official 2022 World Cup Thread***

    Incredible goal by Morocco from the corner. Is that a gk error to not watch the near post? Even if the kick didn’t go in there was a free Morocco player right there to put it in.

    NBA: Cyclones in the pros 2021-23 (hoops)

    Georges is old enough and still enough of a defensive liability that I don’t imagine he’ll sign for more than two years and probably well under $10 million/year. His poor performance in the playoffs also has not helped his value. Tyrese on the other hand - he’s on pace for a rookie extension...

    ***General Cycling Thread***

    Same story here. I did some racing and semi-serious training from 2010-2014, then less serious but fun p******-contest group rides in Central Park at dawn after moving to NYC in 2015-2017. Started having kids in 2017 and have gained 60 pounds since then. Hoping the convenient pain cave setup...

    ***General Cycling Thread***

    I grabbed a Wahoo Kickr this August (local bike shop was clearing out prior year model for only $675). Finally set it up in my garage last week and have gotten 2 workouts in this week. With 2 little kids this is definitely a game changer for actually getting some workouts/‘rides’ in. I’m...

    NBA: Cyclones in the pros 2021-23 (hoops)

    He has a legit shot to be the first player EVER to average 20+ pts and 10+ assists while hitting 40%+ on three point attempts. He is developing into a true superstar, and with that level of efficiency it’s no surprise his team is winning...
