I honestly cannot tell if anyone is flirting with me or not. I also cannot imagine that anyone would flirt with me in the first place, but if anyone did, I still wouldn’t know. The only flirting I knew was when my wife called me up and lectured me for not asking her out. Apparently, she had been flirting with me and I didn’t know. I am not bright.

So, the rectum (poops last stop before freedom) is actually deep inside your pelvis as your colon makes the turn from the left side to the center, so your massage isn’t moving the poop out like squeezing a toothpaste tube. However, it lies close to some internal muscles like the iliacus which can put pressure on it if they’re stiff or inflamed (not unheard of in western society), and massaging them can get them to relax and relieve the pressure.

You’re certainly not hurting anything with this, and since you’ve been doing it for so long, you may have developed a psychosomatic connection that might actually help your bowels do their work. It’s weird, but go right ahead massaging the shit out of yourself because it might help in some way.

Agree: for most people, the beer gut is more pronounced because of the laxity of the front abs (also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain), it’s not all just fat. So, proper training and strengthening of the abs will help pull those things back in line, but won’t do much for burning off fat.

No. You cannot target areas to lean out. This also holds for exercise: doing sit-ups will not burn the fat off your abs. The fat will also not necessarily come off evenly. Sometimes it does, sometimes the saddlebags stay until the bitter end even when your ribs are clearly visible. Genetics does play a role, but it can be dealt with.

(I’m a trainer and physiologist and helping people to lose fat is something I do.)

Going to home depot at 9p to get one more of a simple washer or nail that you could have gotten on any of the 3 previous trips that day to finish fixing whatever broke in the middle of the night is what I call the adult walk of shame

If you do find a disc image, to burn it, you will need to make sure your burning software has an option that makes the disc bootable. Toast used to do this, not sure what exists out there these days.

I’m an athlete and a biomechanics student who studies this sort of thing. Technically, if you do the physics, yes, pavement is harder than dirt. Will your body actually notice that difference given the forces that you experience from an easy run in modern shoes? Not likely. For a few hours a day, day in and day out over decades, then yes you will. But if you run a few miles once or twice a week, no, you probably won’t see a huge difference. (And most trails frequented by runners are packed dirt that is not much softer than pavement. Getting onto shift and squishy loam tails isn’t feasible for everyone.)

I’m 95% certain it was snow leopard, because I remember making a special trip to comp usa to get it on release day. I didn’t do that for Lion. I might even have skipped that one entirely. I still have that snow leopard disc, somewhere

Where in Denver is this?

Got a M1 MB pro (the basic one) so I could write papers and do school work a few years ago. This year, I finally retired my big hackintosh rig for a M2 Max MB pro because I didn’t need a full size computer anymore and it was 10+ years old. Anyway, it’s kind of hard to tell the difference between the two. The M2 certainly does big tasks better, but my son uses the M1 all the time for music composition and it does a fabulous job. If you really need power, get the M2 pro or max, but only if you really need power. Otherwise an M1 will likely be fine. I read countless reviews and tests, and the M2 is supposedly 20%, but the extra GPU is what I went for because I needed 3 monitors (which is still not easy to get working), otherwise I would have saved the money and gone with an M1. Unless you need 3 monitors, then an M1 will be fine for the next 5 years.

That would compel me to switch schools

Same: rarely from the people who really matter to me. It’s almost always the cashier at the grocery store or the bike store. Nice people, but I don’t know if they really care what the answer is, they’re doing they’re best to be nice.

When I have my MacBook connected to an external monitor through USB adapters, it does drain a little faster. I haven’t tested if my HDMI monitor connected directly does as well, but I’m sure it would. Any external monitor should require some extra GPU resources which means more energy which means your battery should drain faster. How much faster depends on lots of things.

Not really helpful here, but I have only ever used Mac’s and have never used an iPhone and I have 0 problems. If you have a Mac or an iPad, you should be able to access everything that’s Apple that use you use on your phone. I can easily put items in my Google calendar from my Mac or my Pixel. I can access files on my Google drive on all devices just the same. The Apple weather widget is less accurate than the Google One which is less accurate than just about every 3rd party app. I use Firefox which syncs between all devices. Pretty much everyone I know has an iPhone and not a single person complains about my green texts. I read the other comments about group chats, and I’m in those too and no one complains. Either my friends don’t use any of these features, or it’s gotten better. I felt that Android phones just work more easily than iOS (which is weird because I feel that Mac’s work more easily than Windows, and this is kind of the same argument). You are going to run into a lot of issues, but maybe they really won’t be all that bad in the long run. You probably won’t get your texts to port over, but you can start new threads and in a couple of months you might not notice. Hopefully it goes well!
