    I'm a fallout newb, but it's been fun running out of ammo so far. If ammo levels stay this low I'll make a different character at this point. Note that I've only invested one short play session.

    ammo is way more plentiful than energy cells/whatever else energy weapons use

    but yeah for the first little while you'll keep running out of ammo for your various guns

    eventually (as in all games) once you get towards the end ammo conservation doesn't matter as much for most calibers. some, like .45-70 and .308 (if you don't have dead money) will always be kind of rare, though.

    I will soldier on with my medic-engineer-gunman

    Hey desc did you wanna hike through the valley slash bike across the beaches? I have been told those are lovely things to do.also apparently some restaurant in the valley has the best hot cakes. Can't remember the name. Think it started with a d? Also mazzy your state is weird

    I don't have a bike (still, need to get one), but hiking is doable. If you mean the Valley valley I would vote against powering around in 110 degree heat like they have up there.

    The 405 freeway is going to be closed between the 10 and 101 the weekend you're here, which is going to entirely fuck us. If you want to hike we should take PCH to Malibu or something in that vein.

    Hotcake restaurant I don't know, but I'm never in the Valley.

    While I agree with your scientific rigor, your disdain for the obese makes me dislike pretty much everything you say as someone with deep skinny privilege.

    Next to quantum theory (lol quantum wellness), thermodynamics has to be the most misquoted and misinterpreted set of scientific facts that people use to justify the weirdest of shit.

    Its at its best when people use it to try to disprove evolution.

    I've still got something of a hunch that selection might be an opposing force to entropy.

    I'm just still not smart enough articulate it.

    I don't go into the PA weight-loss thread because of the absolutely untrue nutritional b.s. that is peddled there.

    This is basically what killed the H/A fitness thread, as well.

    People were basically posting for no other reason than to convince people to adopt their pet training/nutrition theory.

    So a couple of weeks ago I bemoaned having DeShadowC as a mod on the minecraft server I'm playing on.

    On this server there's a plug in that allows people to claim land and set up countries.

    Shadow has apparently taken it upon himself to rename nations he doesn't like.

    This is excellent.

    It was one of the rules that you had to cite anything even vaguely controversial, then there was that one guy that would post links to thirty study abstracts in medical journals, most of which appeared to only have the most tenuous of connections to their suggestions.

    It was Daily Mail style interpreting of "this compound, commonly found in this type of berry, has been shown to inhibit the growth of certain cancerous cell types in a growth medium" to mean MAGIC BERRIES CURE CANCER.

    Well, I got a bit lucky since I flanked them probably before they thought it was possible. And then the soldier was all herp derping at other players without noticing me getting the medic up against the wall.

    But thanks :D

    @mazzy I am busy being depressed by the road at the moment but after I finish it I will blow my mind with your article
    meticulously record what you eat and don't eat where you don't have a working knowledge of what you are eating

    I just had to look up sbarro pizza because I ate a slice today for lunch

    this tiny piece of pizza had 460 calories and 45% of my daily sodium intake

    make sure that through exercise and diet you are maintaining a reasonable calorie deficit of 500 to 1000 calories depending on your BMI and BMR

    I think it was Bowen who in the weight-loss thread thought he was going to survive on 500 calories a day
    your body cannot maintain a large calorie deficit because you start producing starvation signals and before you know it you're curled up in a corner eating sticks of butter
