Roasted for preference. :twisted:

I agree though. Like all kids, they can be annoying at times, but well worth it.


Oh, they're amazing. But the puke. I can do without the puke. :p

Apparently I've got to get to 98kg to be considered healthy weight. Well, I'm only 3.5 kilos off. Apparently I'll be there in a couple of weeks.

According to this site I'm on I'm 1.9kg shy of my ideal weight. Hrm, I wonder if that accounts for muscle mass.


You can only really use them as a general guide. Not to get into specifics, but the female form has certain characteristics that may or may not be taken into consideration by such calculations.

Mirror and an objective mindset is best, combined with calculators and general guidelines.

Hey, it's like my dad says: a tech support person is not there to solve any issues. That's just a pretty lie people at work and training tell you.

The main purpose of being a tech support rep is to be paid to take other people's shit while they are too lazy to look for their own solutions. That is the only purpose a call center with tech support teams hire. You have to go in there thinking you're being paid 10-15 dollars an hour not to be a tech support rep, but to be an on-the-phone psychologist.

I just worry now if without my muscle mass I'd be underweight. That would be slightly problematic.

It's not so much about that, it's other things. Like, why can no henchman in Starling City shoot straight from 5 feet away?


If you're going to question stuff like that in TV shows, you'll never fully enjoy them. These are more like action movie tropes than specific problems with the show.

Nah I'm used to the whole no one ever gets hit, but this is ridiculous. He's literally within touching distance of the shooter and the guy still misses? Nah. That's just daft.

Well, only if you were considerably underweight. You can't really look at lean mass or body fat in isolation. It's about the ratio, I think.
