Ideally, I'd just love a single app where I can sit down and monitor my progress across cardio, lift and diet.

Pick two. FitBit app sucks for tracking lifts. When you log it as an activity, lifts are all bunched under "Weight lifting (free weight, nautlius, or universal-type), power lifting or body building" with options for "light" or "vigorous" activity. You quantify by TIME. If you're only looking to show calories burned that's probably all you need, but it's no rep-logger. Speaking of, which app do you use for that?

Back to the device. I got a Force myself, but I'm not sold on the elevation tracking yet. I live and work in two-story buildings, yet over the course of a day I only racked up 5 floors yesterday. I'm sure it only counts elevation gained, but on the other hand it's fucking supernatural how forgetful I am, so I'm always up and down the steps. Will see if this improves.

A couple things if you get one... 1) Get the Force over the Flex. It's water-resistant, which you'd think would be Day-One shit for electronics that you strap to your sweaty, disgusting body, but the Flex is not. My coworker Eric water-damaged 3 Flexes before giving up on them all together. 2) Order now, or be ready to wait. Mine was ordered in late October, but couldn't be fulfilled until last week. Not sure if they're intentionally throttling supply, or if it will just be Christmas of the Fitbits.

Pokemon X and Y: Fully Automatic Shiny Pokemon Finder!

Finally, we have automated our fun. Took long enough.*

Let's do this.

New shoes day! Handmade by real English hands.



They're buttery-soft and an absolute joy to wear. I can't wait until I get a few (dozen) coats of polish on them and the burnishing starts to blend. Unfortunately we're expecting heavy rain this weekend so I'll have to put them away until drier weather returns. Anyone care to recommend a brand of overshoes?

Plus, as has been mentioned before, it's a kid's movie where [spoiler]the protagonist loses a limb at the end, and everybody's cool with it.[/spoiler]

Oh yeah. I have a phobia about that sort of thing happening to me and it was very shocking to have that happen in the last couple minutes of what was ostensibly a children's movie. Jaw, dropped.

My date: (finishes writing a note to herself) You remember in Pete & Pete, how in that one episode older Pete falls in love with his math teacher because he likes the way she draws her twos?
Me: I do.
My date: Well, I think I make great number twos.
 

Depends on the cowboy boot? Then you tell me.

Thanks Frocto!



Can someone isolate this scene as an anigif?

Is that wackaloon AFA blog just rendering wrong in Chrome, or is it actually supposed to be black-on-black?

BUT SOMEBODY SHOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BUDGET

I mean, have you seen this thing? It looks like that egg-sac woman in Slither.
