I'm about 5'10" 160lbs last I checked. I could probably loose some weight, maybe 10-15 pounds. I need to buy a new scale though, for all I know it may have gone up. My scale stopped working a while back, one of those electronic ones and it used a 3 volt cell battery, not something I'll have lying around the house. Tried to power it with a computer power supply, figured 3.3 volts would not be too high, and well, I was wrong.

When I was in college and even my first few working years I was like 110, No matter what I did I just could not gain any weight. Now it's a bit more stable. I can get away with eating what I want when I'm hungry but just have to slightly watch and that's it.

Funny thing is all the health fanatic people at my work are fat and get the shits all the time. Screw this glutten free crap, I'll eat whatever I want. :p

Moved the iMac to my bedroom. Just felt like the right thing to do. I'm much happier now.

Only downside is I need to get another computer to replace it in the setup I took it from.

And Mixo, my street and a few others around me were outfitted with ultra bright LED streetlights after my hit and run. None of the other streets around me have them. Are LEDs the next big thing?

Broke Portland still put em out here. They are pretty nice, but the light is very "white." It doesn't have that same bulb color temp.

Right. They are often described as a "true" white, as opposed to the more blueish Mercury Vapor. And of course nothing like the orang High Pressure Sodium.

LEDs are closer to Metal Halide in terms of color temperature.

This was a neat pic to take.

Discharging about 40 volts out of a capacitor. More violent than I figured. Tempting to use 120vac with a diode and charge it up directly from the wall. It's rated for 63 volts, close enough right? :p

I lost some weight so now I am 185 and about 6 feet even. A year ago I was 215. All I did was stop eating so many cheeseburgers

LMAO got banned from a subreddit. Apparently saying "Death to America, praise Allah" is racism. I meant it as a joke because some spammer spammed something in terrorspeak. (the funny curvy type letters) This is hilarious.
