    Solar Eclipse 2024

    Was magnificent. Ended up in Russellville Arkansas. I don't remember the one in 2017 being this spectacular but it was a while ago.

    Is Blockchain separate from crypto or somehow owned by crypto? Serious questions here I own a small amount of crypto but I have never been able to understand it's use if any. Blockchain seems positive (although I still don't know what it is although I appreciate the dumbed down version it's...

    A dumb version would be more helpful to me. Does it have any use? It probably does. I just don't know what.

    I'm probably an old guy. Because I don't understand any use for Crypto other than speculation. It doesn't lend itself for use as currency because the value swings wildly and it's of course difficult to use. But even if they fix the utility I don't want to go to the grocery store and bananas...

    Solar Eclipse 2024

    I'm heading to Arkansas tomorrow to beat the traffic because of how it was in 2017. It's earlier than I need to go I think 2-3 days early would likely miss all the traffic. But I can tell you in 2017 rural Wyoming was gridlock for hundreds of miles and they were only really traffic from...

    Solar Eclipse 2024

    I'm in Denver and none of the last 4 in the US (if you count 2024) have been real close but not too far either. I went to NM for the annular in 2012, had a backpacking spot in the Tetons for 2017, back to NM for the annular last October. And going to NW Arkansas in a couple weeks. This will...

    Popular Candy You've Never Tried

    I would have said the same thing for years. But I tried an almond joy last year and it's actually fantastic.

    From Fat to Fit 2024 - New Year New Goals!

    I'd just remember that unless you make long term changes it's really hard to keep the weight off long term. When I lost weight it was 1 lb/week which is very slow but I've kept it off for 15 years. Not saying 1 lb is the magic number but make sure you're putting reasonable lifestyle changes in...

    From Fat to Fit 2024 - New Year New Goals!

    I lost a lot of weight a I lost a lot of weight about 15 years ago and was almost exactly your size. I was 265 lbs and about your height. I calorie counted about 2,000 calories a day. I generally wouldn't go much below 2,000 (minimum would be around 1,800 maybe) and I wouldn't go above...

    Who is the #21 best basketball player of all-time?

    Very few players in history have entered the league young enough. I looked up Moses because he was in the league young but he didn't. Kobe, KG, LeBron are probably about the only other guys of note who played 4 seasons by age 23. I'm sure I'm missing a few but I'm limiting to Hall of Fame guys.

    Who is the #20 best basketball player of all-time?

    He should have made it before Robinson and Barkley on this list. He was considered better than either of them until recently. That being said I can see arguments for people outside of his era like KG since comparing between eras is art not science.

    Who is the #20 best basketball player of all-time?

    Probably Mikan should be there too. A very different era of course even compared to Pettit.

    Who is the #19 best basketball player of all-time?

    I mean Malone was all NBA first team 11 times to 5 for Barkley. At the time he was considered better by those awards. When they both retired Malone was pretty much the #1 all time PF on every list until Duncan. At the time Barkley was rated the worst defender in the league on a few of those...

    Who is the #19 best basketball player of all-time?

    I feel like Karl Malone is getting held back because he's a pedophile and a bad person. When he and Barkley were both playing there wasn't a person on the planet who thought Barkley was a better player. That being said KG is the guy because he has an argument over Malone and wasn't a pedophile.

    2023-24 NBA (Playoffs!) Thread: Lakers blame refs for blowing 20-point lead

    I think BMI is supposed to be pretty inaccurate for extremely tall guys. KG and Durant are both listed at 240 and neither is exactly heavy. At 7' they're both on the upper side of healthy weight at 23.9. Heck Tacko Fall is overweight at 7'6 311. His BMI is 27.1.

    How easy is Mount Everest?

    I’ve done quite a few 14ers and I’ve hiked and backpacked a whole lot. I’ve done some technical mountaineering. Could I do Everest today? Probably not. I do think most people in reasonably good health could train to complete Everest with a guide. I think the almost 30,000 feet would b hard...

    Christmas Lights/Decorations

    I live in a condo, so I don't have anything.  But I really appreciate the people who do.  And do quite a few walks with the dog this time of year just to check out the lights that my neighbors set up.  So your 15+ hours probably brings joy to a lot of people. :) There is this monstrous tree...

    ***Official*** Excel Help Corner

    I know for me if I click the kind of half square looking thing to the left of the A (first column) it highlights the whole excel and lets you filter.

    Can we discuss pet peeves here?

    The meanings of words change over time.  It is not wrong to use modern meanings.  I'm not sure why decimate bothers some people more than other words.  But language changes daily/monthly/yearly.  Plus decimate being used as devastate is hundreds of years old.  Not exactly new.
