Why am I not losing weight even though I go to the gym for 1 hour 5x a week

You only need around 2 hours a week doing HIIT and squats + deadlift.

As a kid, I knew this scene was a parody of X Files, but I remembered their voices sounded very differently. Listening to them again on Youtube and watching the end credits proved that Duchovny and Anderson did indeed voice these characters. Either my memory was completely wrong, or the sound from the speakers of that old TV was really, really terrible.

The new YouTube layout and font is so horrible. How do you comment? Can't even find it, does it still exist? Luckily, I found out if you sign in and click your little avatar at the top right, you can revert to the old YouTube. And leave nasty feedback about why the new YT sucks while you're at it.

It's trying to cater to people who use the internet on their phones. Well, fuck you, assholes, use a computer with a decent sized monitor, not a fucking phone. And I hate morons who always post ginormous images in threads because they can't see them on their small phone screens. God, I hate you.

I need a day off.

A story about a Malay girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina, marred by inclusion of debate whether it is right or not for a ballerina to wear Hijab on stage. In the end, the movie in its entirety was garbage. No, wait. It was CANCER!

Watching the Song of the Sea (2014) was like watching old paintings coming alive. The story about siblings and family was touching as well, made interesting with inclusion of Irish folklore.

So I watched The Orville with Seth MacFarlane. He plays the captain and does a good job. Of course it's a Star Trek ripoff, mostly ST:TNG. I see it as a fix for us Trekkies because the shitty non-canon prequel Star Trek garbage Hollywood put out is unwatchable, especially for us purists. So this is filling the gap.

The Orville is done with humor and pokes fun at stuff but not in an overly cheesy way, more in a *wink wink* way. Makes me wish they had continued the original franchise.

I forgot to return a call.

Two continuity errors in Dead Man Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge:

1. The second movie hinted Jack received the compass from Tia Dalma through a barter, whereas the fifth movie established that Jack as a child inherited it from his dying captain.

2. The compass has exchanged hands several times in the past, but only now it considered Jack's action as "treachery" and thus releasing Salazar from his prison in the Bermuda Triangle. However that be explained that the past trades was all part of Jack's scheme to defeat his enemies and he'd intended to get the compass back eventually, whereas in DMTNT, Jack genuinely wanted to be rid of it.

Who's that?

The number of stupid people is on the rise.

An Artemis Fowl movie is in the works? I've read the books so this news gets all of my YES! Fingers crossed for an appearance by a villain way cooler than Lord Voldemort - the evil Pixie fairy, Opal Koboi.

The Little Couple two hour season premiere is tonight. OMG, I love them. They're so cool and their kids are totally adorable. They're awesome parents and seem like genuine people who are like that even when the cameras aren't rolling. It's such an upbeat show. I got hooked on it a few years ago when they brought their little son Will over from China and have been watching it ever since.

Finally, we'll be able to watch the blind archers & the tower invasion, Ikra & the techno rave scene is glorious full-HD.

I wonder if Blade Runner 2049 will be any good?

At long last, the collection is complete.

Why am I not losing weight even though I go to the gym for 1 hour 5x a week

Well, maybe a bit late, but i just accidentally noticed that. Tbh for losing weight you dont need any exercises. You do those mostly for health such as vascular tone. If you wanna decrease weight then you need to spend your inner reserves and most common way for that is to eat less than daily spending. In such case if your hormones in norm then remain part ll be taken from fat. Surely additional activity and specially gym is also good way to tilt spending above consuming. But usually small correction of eating is enough. For example, if your breakfast is near 600 kcal then reducing to 450 let you decrease weight up to ~6kg/year. You also can replace that by activity and even something minor like light 20 minutes flexing gives same result. You can also sum that and get -12kg/year or more.

Surely year is long time. If you wanna lose like 4-5kg/month and stop after that then you need to follow much stronger conditions. Its high amount of protein (meat and so on), lower amount of carbohydrates (chocolate, cookies, bread and so on) and high activity. For such result you need ~1500 kcal difference.

The Orville episode "About a Girl" that aired this past week. Very important episode, it made you think.

The epiphany Bortus had after watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was hilarious. This series so far has been beyond my expectation, it's really quite good. A great homage to Star Trek with a lot of Seth MacFarlane humor thrown in.

What is with this headache.

This past weekend, I swear Hugh Hefner flashed into my mind and I thought "Is he still alive? I think he's going to die."

And then he did. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
