A censor for old content, perhaps?

If not, we need one. They are popping up like toadstools!

It's called "hit the report button so a mod doesn't have to try and read your mind"

Understood.

That said, I found it, and it's disappeared.

I appreciate you leaving my witty comment intact. It's one of the few contributions I can make around here. :thumb:

When I was growing up, the neighbors had a pool. There was a sign above the toilet int he pool house: "We aim to please! You aim too, please!"

Our motto on the boat was, "When at sea, sit to pee."

I hated the jerks who would stand and pee while underway. No way you can consistently hit the target when in waves or underway on the water.

Did they also have the "Wecome to our ool" sign? :innocent:

Amen. We can’t possibly monitor every thread on these forums in real time, especially at this pay level. We rely heavily on reports.

I wouldn't be able to race my bicycle cycle if BF didn't compensate me generously.

You typed that with a straight face?

No, thought I saw those later. That's where I came up with the "Welcome to our L" sign joke.

I think the other guy typed that.

Would love to see how that thing handles around the corners. Major weight redistribution there.

Porsche spent all that money putting the engine in the front for once, and some clown goes and moves it back.

Porsche Flight of the Day

Apologies if this has been here before, but I think it's awesome.

It may be pseudoscience but interesting none-the-less


Made me want to do that too, but it’s harder than I thought it would be.

For me, hardest part is convincing myself I don’t need 180g of protein a day.

I wouldn’t go full vegan though

When I get to year two pay, I would like to try to eat that way when I am home. On the road, not economically possible for me.


With that being said, I don’t eat a lot of red meat as it is. I can’t remember the last time I cooked a steak.

You don't need 180g. Most people can get by with 0.8-1g protein/Kg body weight. And it's hard to NOT get that with a varied diet, vegan or otherwise.

I’m a sucker for a good burger

Oh I know, it’s way too much. Trying to slowly cut it down

My favorite from her 2012 record: (such a good version of an awesome song)

I noticed the other day that Judy Collins's voice improved over the 1969 to 2016 periiod also.

Speaking of healthy eating, I just got notice that my bulk order of Marcona almonds and Pajarero figs was just delivered. :bday:

My kids, the dummies, don't like fruit pies and it's been challenging to find something like a chocolate cream pie today. :notamused:

The Older Boy loves fruit in pretty much all forms, so of course The Younger Boy abhors fruit in pretty much all forms. So if I bought an apple pie at Costco, for example, TYB would expect me to also buy a cake or some such.

I can give you my recipe for chocolate cheesecake, if you like. It's whipped, and delicious. I wish I could say it's low cal like other cheesecakes, but it's not.... Sadly, it won't do for you today, as it needs to set up for more than a few hours.
