Fat Ralphy checking in here folks..... I intend to use this thread to document and motivate my efforts for health and fitness. My hopes are that putting myself out there and being accountable to the forum will help me stay on point. Over the last two years I have packed on approx. 50 lbs - stress and injuries have made it hard to get on track. My plan is as follows - get my eating in check, post my meals here and document meal prep. Increase my activity - I currently train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a few times a week but I want to add some lifting, biking, swimming and cardio. Today i weighed in at 305 lbs - my goal weight …

Hello fellow amateur marine biologists. I'm starting this discussion today to teach you guys and girls how you, too, can have the beauty of ocean life in your home. We will go over the equipment needed, some common terms, some warnings, and some best practices. Let's get right into it. Common terms: DT/Display Tank - This is your living masterpiece that you put on the wall where most people would put their big screen tv. This is where you keep your best corals and your best fish. This is where you build an amazing aquascape. QT/Quarantine Tank - Think of this like your fish hospital or the holding cell for fish/corals before they go to the b…

I'll keep the introduction to this topic short and simple. So you wanna start making your own cleaning detergents, or learn a new washing regimen to keep your Garments, Rugs, and other textiles 'Dope Fresh' and preserve the shape and color? I hope this topic can help you. So basically to start this off and hope I do not turn this into an on going Chop Suey intro. I like to keep my white tees "bright white" as "they" say and in the same or near the state of condition at the time of purchase. And that pretty much goes for all of my clothes and shoes, I like my stuff clean and fresh as so it appears to be brand new. One of the things that help me in achieving …

any thoughts on what constitutes having a drinking problem? i binge drink alot, and find that after three beers i crave more and more, so normally if i know i can only have one beer, i wont even drink it, cuz it will just make me feel like shit. I dont put alcohol ahead of my responsiblities like work or school, and i refuse to drink when the sun is out, unless i'm at like a BBQ or something. But i find myself drinking alot more regularly, out of the past 5 days i drank everyday, and got drunk 4 out of the 5.

I'm starting this thread as a place for people to ask questions and get answers about money type topics. There are quite a few members here that are versed with finance and could really share a lot of useful information with those less experienced. @Elena Delle Donne @Mercer @Dark_Knight @misteraven

With the rise of ciders in the last ten years I suspect more and more people partake in drinking them, and probably have a favorite. I've been drinking hard ciders since the 80s, back when Strongbow and Hornsby's were the only ones you could find... IF you could find them. My absolute all-time favorite cider has to be ANVIL from Sonoma Cider, which shut down operations about a year ago after losing funding. Bummed... me... out. Recently I came upon the mother-load and bought the store out of all they had - Twelve 22oz bottles. Special occasion shit, for real. I'm also a fan of Thistly Cross Whisky Cask But my…

I know at least a couple of you on this board have busted a knuckle or two fixing that POS beater or a building something cool in your garage @Dirty_habiTI'm lookin in your direction. Post some photos or share some knowledge this isn't a vehicle specific thread just a place to share those money pits. The photo below is the small block ford 302 that a friend of mine helped build for my hot rod. It took about a year and a half to get it running and about another 6 months to work out the kinks. That car and I have traveled about 6000 miles in the last 2.5 years.

I was hoping this would be a place that we can seek professional input from one another. There are plenty of talented people here and we can use our community to help each other. Bounce estimates around to see if costs are reasonable, help with DIY projects, real life connections if doable - basically a place to seek and share professional input or collaboration. For example: @Mercer - you work as an electrician, right? Yesterday I was upgrading the security light on my front porch. I switched off the breaker but it still seemed like I got a small shock when I came in contact with the black wire. Is ther…

Alright guys, I'm sure we have a cooking thread somewhere, or maybe even a bbq thread somewhere.... but it's 2019, almost 2020 and it's time for something fresh. Please share your favorite places to get bbq and/or other types of meats. Whether it's a butcher shop you love, a local hole in the wall food joint you love, or a product you can buy at your local store. @Fist 666mentioned he liked Texas Pete bbq sauce in another thread, and @Hua Guofanghad some experiences here in Austin, TX to speak about. Recently, @Kultswas telling me about the Portuguese chicken that is common in his area, I had never heard of it. I'd love to hear any drunk stories…

I know there's been a lot of self help type threads, past and present. Seems to be particularly prevalent now, presumably because we're all older and entrenched in real life, many years past that enthusiasm of youth and the outlook that comes with it of having the bulk of your life in front of you. Or maybe it's just me and where I'm at with my own life, but I have taken note of some of the more mature threads (at least by 12oz standards) as well as the fact that it's been a thing for ages where 12oz members help other 12oz members that are going through some shit. It hit me like a ton of bricks to learn that during the dark ages of 12oz, when only a handful of people wer…

okay... all the new models are out, so it's time for a thread. I'm going for my learners in a week, hitting a motorcycle show on the 25th to buy gloves and a helmet, doing a training weekend sometime in April.... and dreaming about bikes all the time. (last night I was honestly was dreaming about ripping the bodywork off a GS500, I'm obsessed) so here's some fun new bikes.... ^ the new YZF-R1 limited ^ BMW has got the adventure tour thing down. ^ brand new 'retro' ducati ^ the honda 599 is back this year after getting dropped. Did you know it's the most popular full size bike in europe?

Post 'em... I don't care if there's a 5 year old 600 page thread on the subject already. It's 2017. I've got two bikes, both BMX. I will post them soon when I can get you all some sweet pix with my iphone. I'd like to one day get into downhill mt. biking but my propensity to steer myself from mediocrity puts the bike I'd want in the 5-8k dollar price range. I won't buy something that's "ok" to get by for now until I can get something better. If you don't want to post your bike, lets hear some of your cycling stories, I know there's a lot of people on this site that bike.

With marriage being the leading cause of divorce, I find myself living outdoors for the 1st time in 10 years and thus free to indulge in midlife crisis. I have been spamming the hell out of https://www.coolworks.com]and was wondering if any of you nomads have any experience with them. I'm mainly trying to get winter caretaker gigs ATM with the one I hope for being a winter in Alaska flying solo for 4 months. I'm also utilizing the standard urban outdoorsman resources craigslist gigs, https://www.couchsurfing.com/][url=https://squattheplanet.com/making-living/ free trial memberships to gyms etc. Anyone ever done those seasonal gigs and what r…

When a New York Times Bestselling Author like Jared Diamond writes a book like Collapse about the rise and fall of advance civilizations, you tend to think there is a grave concern widespread among literate and informed americans about the sustainability of our way of life. I've been into survivalism and studying it for most of my adult, teenage and adolescent life. Call it a hunch, paranoia, or obsession predicated upon the fact that my very existence is somehow intertwined with an apocalyptic scenario (long story). Anyways, after reading this fromthewilderness article on Petrocollapse and a scaricity of clean water, I figured it's about time that I create a threa…

So I decided after 22 yrs in the nail industry-I was fed up with people and knew my brain was not getting used as much as I knew it was capable of so I went home βsickβ early from the shop and attended the home and garden show where I saw a cool display which lead me to grab a brochure. I looked into this βtraining centerβ and read it was free (like legit no cost) and set the appt up for the beginning stages of several interviews and testing process to enroll. I missed the cut off of the class(20 per class) they were getting ready to begin and had to wait until the next session which began the end of January. A seven month class with a four externship after to complete t…

Though culinary arts (Home Ec) is still largely offered in high school and despite the ability to cook being a life skill, it's amazing to see how few people really know how to cook / bake. Granted, as a kid I had pretty limited tastes, had a mom that was always whipping stuff up (whether you were hungry or not) and had no interest in the subject, I've definitely found myself appreciating it more as an adult. When living in NYC, it was tough to get into since it was (ironically) often more expensive to shop and cook a meal at home than even a decent restaurant. Out where I live now, quality meat is crazy cheap as are most produce and groceries. Still can be a little costl…
