Re: Military and Police joint training
Holy shit... I can't think of a better way to totally freak out the populace than to just spring a training exercise on them!

Re: Cheese?
Cheeeeeese! Didn't we lock you in a dumpster one time?
Yea... never found cheese a worthwise source of protein. If meat wasn't subsidized, then maybe, but since it isn't, I don't see any reason to buy cheese outside of ingredients.

Re: Snaggletooth Craze
I think the Japanese have worked out a fairly standard formula:
1. Look at/think of anything.
2. Make it outrageously, terrifyingly extreme
3. Make porn of it

Re: Boycott the Super Bowl
i suspect there is actually quite a bit of difference between being on a mission that ends up engaged in combat, and being in the front line troops that go out on combat missions, i know it sounds like semantics, but while the actual combat part may be similar or the same, the hardships and conditi...

Rebalancing into bonds when they're down
Can someone explain the benefits more to me if I'm not on track here? Rates today are pretty low from a historical perspective. Say that they start climbing slowly tomorrow for a few months, and my bond % starts getting lower and lower. I put money into the lagging asset every month. But, when I'...

Re: Aspirin
I believe that the sizeable beneficial effects of an aspirin regimen for reducing heart disease, cancer, etc. are indisputable. Are they not? If so, don't they warrant the slight increase in risk for GI bleeding and MCD? I will have to track down the title, but I read a book by a medical profession...

Re: A new planned community: The Citadel
I have to admit, that sounds really, really cool. I'm very interested to see how it turns out. Quite a marksmanship test they've got going. Hitting a man-sized target at 100 yards with open sights 7 out of 10 times is no mean feat. Stationary targets aren't too tough, but when they're moving it's d...

This was an informative article I'd read a while ago, had to use some google-fu to find it again, but maybe it can help you change your perceptions about a high-information diet?

Good read, thanks. My view has always been towards the 'don't tax, but also don't provide shit' end of the spectrum in any case.

Hmm, some compelling arguments. It would be nice to use a more mathematically precise system than the bro-adhocism. Yea, that's really ones of the keys: having an actual PLAN with a progression. A lot of popular routines do this "spreadsheet planning" like 531, Madcow 5x5, Hypertrophy ...

Nobody gains muscle mass without getting stronger. Nobody. This is a fact. Making getting stronger on the main lifts a priority is the key, especially if you aren't already a barbarian.

Hah, yup! I've been in the iron game for a long time, so I'm pretty familiar with everything that's out there. I'm going to see if I have the stick-withitude to stay on the 531 for one year and see how much progress I can make. I'm in cycle II now.
