Different strokes for different folk, some people may just have an interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle that doesn't include excessive exercise. They are not training so much as just keeping active, also consistency offers good results in terms of gains and health, 3-4 times a week every and a healthy diet is more than enough to just be healthy. Buts that's my point, how does 20 minutes of cardio where you don't strain at all help you? How is that a healthy lifestyle? You may as well not go at all...or am I missing something Because even working standing up is a bonus for most people these days. You honestly don't need to be sweating to get benefit from the activity. A gentle walk for 40 minutes is still good for you.

Not ethnically pure enough to be Russian, eh? Noses too long? Perhaps too dark-skinned?

I'm in a reckless mood today. Stealing a kiss from a crustacean sounds like good fun.

The 'Pakistan Taliban' have announced a new leader. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24854087 Given the way these fellows keep getting hit by missiles you'd think they'd do comedy nominations, like the quiet guy who makes the tea, or Malik's hot aunt, etc. ~~~~ Also, from Misti Dawn's FB

Why exactly would 'oby' misspell 'Lockheed'? You've got the spelling right in front of you. Tralt fail.

I was most surprised by the fact that only 1& is coming from non-renewables. Even I didn't think it was that low. EDIT: I'm such a dingus. That should have read non-renewables. I think.

Is that the demon with hands made of marmite?

Got to say: surely Asia's population is just obvious? The literacy and women's education, and pay distribution also got me. I found the income distribution to be the most interesting. Assuming the data is sound it rather gives the lie to some vast conspiracy forcing people down into serfdom. Normal distributions are what you get when outcomes are affected by a great man random(ish) variables. And now it's going to turn out that I've misunderstood normal distributions and I shall feel like a moran <sic> all day.

A nuclear final solution. Tasteful.

I got a kick out of the fact that they mounted two 155mm howitzers on it. The idea is to get common ammunition with land forces. There's also all sorts of neat stuff being crammed into 155s, because you get a separate charge to choose how fast it launches.

Look a bit like the Drakensberg, to me. What do you reckon, Bruce?

Thanks, man. I like the bit about party NPCs.

Isn't the point about polonium that it only really comes from Russia? I'm sure I read that somewhere, so it must be true.

I am genuinely entertained by how no-one 'got' my rage at the pareto curve. God bless you, and all your jobs.

Not touched a drop in a week now. Interestingly I woke up feeling as if I had a hangover. I think this proves that a lot of my 'hangovers' were just sleeping badly on my busted back.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24836917 I got 4/9 Well worth doing. There are some very surprising answers.

No, no, that's cool. Always interesting to read other county perspectives. I was gutted to have crapped out of training at the time, but as I slowly ...congeal... I find myself not missing it. I think in the main I'm getting disillusioned about getting rewarded for making significant effort. So many of the well off people I know or meet are complete hucksters. Not all, by any means, but so many. Anyway, sorry. derailed it there for a while.

Arrogance, it has to be. People think him doing crack or being a drunk doesn't matter because hey, everyone has been drunk and no one should judge (ironically these are the same people that have orgasms over 'tough' laws on drugs or gangs). Which is depressing - large segments of my city think that their mayor hanging out with drug users, gang members or being blind drunk frequently is not a concern. So he will be re-elected, people buy into this image of him being an average joe (why you want one of those as mayor, I do not know) I read in the paper that it's just frustration with slick controlled politicians. I have to say that I find the idea of anyone getting to 40+ or however old politicians are these days, without cutting loose once in a while betokens a sick mind. I'm not endorsing crack smoking, but being wild doesn't scare me at all.

Schools should chastise any child who doesn't score perfectly on tests. "Almost perfect doesn't cut it in the real world, Johnny." LOL. You may think yourself lucky you've never heard the 80/20 rule, the Pareto rule. Thinking about it, we should be chastising any child for exerting maximum effort just to get one place ahead of their fellows who exert 80% of their maximum. Because THAT is the rule evident in big business and government over here.

Austria has a conscript army, which, going from Finnish experience, tends to limit the really interesting options. Of course, professional soldiers also have to generally pass some mental health standards... I have no doubt that our strenuous colleague is no madder than me or Monte. For what little that's worth! Indeed if he weren't apparently content I'd have already suggested a PMC.

I don't see how it's any different to any number of other lunatic doctrines to teach. I can scorn it, but I'll not condemn.

Filling out some paperwork, was obliged to re-examine correspondence from around my mum's death. Quite saddening. But I'm proud of having kept my measure, judging by the writing.

Unless... ..Unless you designed it from the perspective of a Cthulhoid Deep One. Then it would make PERFECT SENSE. I think this explains a lot.

Probably a silly question, but why aren't you in the Army, Woldan? You bench, and run up mountains and shoot all the time. You could be being paid for it.

I think that a lot of problems are down to just bollocks accounting, and predictions. If every single government project exceeds predicted spend, then your predictions are ****ed, not the projects.
