    What's wrong with only exercising when you feel uncomfortable?

    Simply put, exercise has a cumulative effect on the body. Stopping for any amount of time is a loss of ground that was difficult to gain.

    States where the college sport is more popular than the professional sport?

    Tennessee for sure. I literally don't know anyone outside of the Nashville area who is a Titans fan.

    What first world problem did you have today?

    The damn GenZers in my damn office building can't be bothered to take their damn K-cups out of the damn Keurig. Now my spiced chai tastes like a cigarette butt.

    What first world problem did you have today?

    I learned today that in addition to nonexempt salaried employees, we also now pay some exempt salaried employees overtime. It's beginning to feel like my company will give more money to anyone & everyone, just so long as it's not NuclearNed.

    NEW: List some movies you've watched recently. Theatre, rental, TV... and give a */10

    The Menu (Netflix) - I thought this was a delightful thriller/black comedy. No spoilers from me - watch it for yourself. I thought the ending didn't quite stick it, specifically I thought when the final course was served, the diners should have had a stronger reaction. I'd give this, I...

    I Have Something in Common With Luigi Mangione

    Any indication whether or not your surgery was successful? My wife has had spondylolisthesis for most of her life - gives her a lot of pain. Many years ago she was told the chances of the surgery being successful were 50/50, with a real possibility of her condition becoming worse. I'm just...

    I think I'm in the worst shape of my life

    I'm 54. Strength-wise, I'm probably the strongest I've ever been - I've packed on a lot of muscle this year. Cardio-wise, I can hold my own but have been much fitter - there's a fair amount of room for improvement. Not to brag, but most people who know me would say that I'm extremely fit -...
