I'm gonna chime in with two things: 1. HIIT workouts. If done properly, they should net you the equivalent of a missed meal in terms of calories burned. I personally would advocate for CrossFit since it's something you can start at YOUR pace and slowly build up. No one ever started out deadlifting 2...

Jump to postNot to hijack the thread, but my iPhone 11 pro is starting to show signs that it may need replacing within the next year or two.

Jump to postI had just moved to the states for my new job.

Jump to postThere is also the small matter of alcohol. IMO, if you need alcohol to enjoy any event, then something is wrong with you. That being said, Qatar's flipflop last year was a slap in the face; if you say you'll allow alcohol sales, then follow through with it. IIRC, Saudi Arabia was trying to create s...

Jump to postThe first step is to not disturb our natural carbon sinks; in other words, every forest that's burned or uprooted releases the carbon that trees have captured.

Jump to postThe previous owners from the house I bought left a Yale smartlock. A bit useless since the door knob is also keyed so even if the deadbolt is unlocked, the knob still prevents entry. Totally OK with it, though. Another security layer since any time the deadbolt is turned, I get a notice.
