lol, this video is funny as hell. This does seem to be increasing in regularity. Research Chemicals are nothing to play around with if you don't know what you're doing.

 

I especially enjoyed the naked man through the sun roof.

11. A tie-wearing nobody into an operatic powerhouse.

13. There are practical benefits too. Growing a beard means you can say good-bye to one of mankind’s most tedious tasks.

14. Other things you can do with a beard? Well, it gives you something to stroke while you’re thinking.

15. You can use it to accentuate your insults.

16. Intimidate your enemies.

17. And enchant women
18. You can grow it into the shape of a cage. Then drink tea through it.

Kentucky-based ad agency Cornett-IMS allows men with beards to earn money by placing miniature “beardboards” in them.

Admittedly not all types of beard are equally desirable.

And, OK, the hirsute look doesn’t work for absolutely everyone.
 
Plus, once you’ve grown one, it doesn’t always have quite the impact you’d imagined.

20. But still. If you can grow a beard, you should. Pity those poor souls who can’t.

(They can try and fake it, but they’re not fooling anyone.)
 

 
21. In conclusion, then. Beards, f**k yeah!

1. I can’t believe we even need to have this debate. I mean, just look at this guy.

Why are eye witnesses saying there were two people in the BMW but the Police won't confirm or deny this?  Look it up.

 

Also, if he allegedly killed 3 of the 7 people with a knife, why aren't they crying about banning knives?

Actually, you might call yourself lucky for not being able to grow a beard. For some reason, people who have male pattern baldness can grow epic beards. So if you can't grow a beard, you probably don't have the baldness gene.

A solution to dandruff?
Posted

How old are you? How long is your hair?

 

I'm 37, my Dad has male pattern baldness and I'm pretty sure it skipped me. However, now I'm having a receding hairline so I'll probably be bald in about 15 years or something. It's going pretty slow.  But, (and here is where my advice comes in) I have stopped using Shampoo altogether. I only use Conditioner.  I haven't washed my hair in 2 months and guess what, it feels so and looks so much better. Shampoo strips the natural oils from your hair and then it tries to adjust by over producing oil to catch up (which is why your hair gets greasy if you go for 2 days without washing it again). 

 

So, maybe try that dude. Trust mother nature. We went for thousands of years without using shampoo. Give that a go for 2 weeks, only using conditioner.  Of course, what kind of conditioner to use is another story. I'm just using a cheap brand from dollar general but I need to get something better.  I hear Nioxin is good for thinning hair.

With two kids and 12 hour swing shifts at work I have no free time. Then you add in house and yard work on top of whatever the wife wants you to do. I'm lucky to get any down time. Try chasing around a three year old all day you won't need to go to the gym.

 

Good point.

^For some reason I read, "I got a chubby after finishing high-school." lol

 

lmao me too!

 

Back to OP , you're right.  Boys, time to become Men.  If you have something you want to do, or something you want to stop doing, tomorrow make sure it happens. Then, when you wake up the following day, make sure it happens that day too. And the next. And the next.

Heartbleed bug
Posted

Maybe this will get people up in arms?

 

 

It is one thing for the NSA to spy on everyone in the world, especially US citizens because all of them are obviously potential "terrorizers" just waiting for their opportunity to blow shit up (except for anything in close proximity to the Boston marathon - those things the NSA promptly filters out), but when the NSA itself is found to have not only known and itself abused the prevalent and widespread Heartbleed bug, but left consumers exposed, then it may be time to finally launch a class action lawsuit against Obama's favorite means to eavesdropping on the entire world.

From Bloomberg:

 
 

NSA SAID TO EXPLOIT HEARTBLEED BUG FOR INTELLIGENCE FOR YEARS

 

The U.S. National Security Agency knew for at least two years about a flaw in the way that many websites send sensitive information, now dubbed the Heartbleed bug,
and regularly used it to gather critical intelligence, two people familiar with the matter said.

And the punchline:

 
 

NSA SAID TO HAVE USED HEARTBLEED BUG AND LEFT CONSUMERS EXPOSED

 

Putting the Heartbleed bug in its arsenal, the NSA was able to obtain passwords and other basic data that are the building blocks of the sophisticated hacking operations at the core of its mission, but at a cost.
Millions of ordinary users were left vulnerable to attack from other nations’ intelligence arms and criminal hackers.

 

“It flies in the face of the agency’s comments that defense comes first,”
said Jason Healey, director of the cyber statecraft initiative at the Atlantic Council and a former Air Force cyber officer.
“They are going to be completely shredded by the computer security community for this.”

More:

 
 

The potential stems from a flaw in the protocol used to encrypt communications between users and websites protected by OpenSSL, making those supposedly secure sites an open book. The damage could be done with relatively simple scans, so that millions of machines could be hit by a single attacker.

 

Questions remain about whether anyone other than the U.S. government might have exploited the flaw before the public disclosure. Sophisticated intelligence agencies in other countries are one possibility. If criminals found the flaw before a fix was published this week, they could have scooped up troves of passwords for online bank accounts, e-commerce sites, and e-mail accounts across the world.

 

Evidence of that is so far lacking, and it’s possible that cybercriminals missed the potential in the same way security professionals did, suggested Tal Klein, vice president of marketing at Adallom, in Menlo Park, California.

 

The fact that the vulnerability existed in the transmission of ordinary data -- even if it’s the kind of data the vast majority of users are concerned about -- may have been a factor in the decision by NSA officials to keep it a secret, said James Lewis, a cybersecurity senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

 

“They actually have a process when they find this stuff that goes all the way up to the director” of the agency, Lewis said. “They look at how likely it is that other guys have found it and might be using it, and they look at what’s the risk to the country.”

 

Lewis said the NSA has a range of options, including exploiting the vulnerability to gain intelligence for a short period of time and then discreetly contacting software makers or open source researchers to fix it.

Thank you NSA, for once again showing that you are from the government and are there to "help" and of course "protect" everyone.

How much more abuse from the government can the (granted mostly obese) US population take before it finally snaps?

 

 

ah, who am I kidding.

Getting back in shape Part 2

cool, I'd recommend trying out Power Yoga by Mark Gonzales. Just youtube search for it. Don't get discouraged if you quit after 15 minutes, just keep going. I do it twice per week.  Stretching is necessary because you're doing so much of the opposite when lifting weights (as in flexing).

 

Let me know how it goes.  Nice avatar by the way.

Getting back in shape Part 2

Good job man. Once you do this for awhile, you'll start to get a feel for what is working and what isn't. Make sure to take measurements of your body, arms, chest, waist, etc, so you can track your progress. If you plateau, you'll be able to see from the data you collected and make the appropriate adjustments in your training.

Keep calm and question nothing.

What's a kg? :P .................... Glad you're still making personal bests. I'm about to lift right now actually. I lifted all last year for 11 months, then winter hit and I fell of the wagon for 3 months. Now I've got 2 weeks under my belt going again. I lost freaking 15 lbs in that 3 months. Damn it man.

lol @Mr T

 

It's been awhile since I just sat and looked up in the sky in awe and wonder.  We have a resevoir close by, and I staked claim on the little island out there. It's very heavy jungle think so nobody actually goes there much. I'm planning on making it a nice place to escape too.  Anyway, last year, I went and stayed the night there and just stood looking up. I forgot how wonderful it is.

I've been depressed out this situation for a long time. It permeates every aspect of our culture. Sex, Celebrity Worship, Degeneracy Celebration (reality shows).  The world has gone mad.  The real struggle is learning how to maintain your sanity/humanity when everyone around you has lost it.

Keep calm and question nothing.
