    Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

    Huge log jam in the east this year - Pacers have good young talent in development so I fully expect some ups and downs. As far as I’m concerned, this year should just be about developing their youth and getting SOME type of playoff experience. They’ll need to make tough decisions in the next...

    Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

    Tyrese currently sitting at 17 pts and 19 assists with 8 to go against the Knicks. IF he gets one more assist, I think this would be the first ever back to back 20 assist games in NBA history.

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

    The GLP-1 work is absolutely fascinating - all I’ll say to your point above is that we still really don’t understand AT ALL why certain GLP-1 agonists work for weight loss and others don’t, so a healthy dose of humility is in order when projecting how other drugs will work with expanded targets...

    Thoughts on the 2023 stock market

    For those playing along at home: 2023 finishes with a 23% gain in the S&P 500. 2024 will face a tough task in trying to follow that act!

    Unfortunately the book won’t be released until next summer - I know one of the authors and the motivation to write it came from the same frustration you described above

    Once you start tracking this, you quickly realize that the easiest way to hit combined fiber and protein goals is to eat bucket loads of fruits, vegetables, and meat, along with unprocessed whole grains and beans.

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

    Just went to gym and lifted weights for first time in 1.5 years. Squats, bench, shoulder press and seated rows. From previous experience it’s a good bet that I’ll be ~immobile two days from now with delayed onset muscle soreness. Anything I can do now to prevent or alleviate the impending...

    Thoughts on the 2023 stock market

    I’m firmly on the side of hoard that cash and invest it if your ongoing debt is ‘good’… For various reasons we bought our first house and 2 brand new cars on spring 2021. Taking that on was terrifying at the time…. But 2.5 years later we have a pile of (invested) cash that gives us options...

    Thoughts on the 2023 stock market

    I also just moved some money into a bond fund (BND etf specifically). I’m just an idiot who’s new to all this, but I think the broad bond index funds have potential to go up 10-20% over the next 1-2 years if fed cuts rates as expected. In this sense, bonds may actually function as a hedge...

    MOVIE: Leave The World Behind

    Totally fair points. As I was writing my post, it occurred to me there probably just isn’t enough space for good character development AND dystopian disaster unfolding over a 2 hour movie. The story could probably do better as a series.

    MOVIE: Leave The World Behind

    I was really enjoying the first half of the movie - the ‘ominous tension building’ was spot on and really had me engaged. But I started souring on it about half way through simply because the characters were so thin and the dialogue and interactions so ridiculous. If you’re going to have...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Man, 100 teams would be perfect for breaking into 3 or 4 different leagues, with yearly relegation and promotion! Just think - 2 top leagues with 30 teams each, and a bottom league with 40 teams. Every year the lowest 5 teams drop to a lower league, and the top 5 teams move up. Give some kind...

    Right, and that’s why we see Dallas absolutely dominating the NFL year after year…. Right?

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I think this could actually be really cool, but only if: 1.) true promotion and relegation happens every year 2.) some kind of salary cap, and salary floor, is put in place for each level
