    Why Am I Getting Weaker?

    So, I lift in a fairly dedicated cycle, 3x/week. Been getting steadily stronger for a long time but lately I have not merely plateaued, but started to lose ground. E.g, two weeks ago I deadlifted 280x5. Last week, 280x4. Tonight, I could not do 3 reps! Also losing on bench and shoulder...

    Power Clean Substitute?

    So, I finally broke down and bought Starting Strength, 3rd Ed. It uses the power clean as one of the core excersizes. Well, I tried it yesterday with an empty bar to see if I could get the mechanics right and I don't think I can. My forearms are simply too long. I can rack the bar on my...

    I Am Dandy?

    Has anyone seen this? It's a big full color picutre book of modern "dandies." At least one guy is, or was, a WAYWRN regular (bairns, the black guy in London, apologize if misspelled). There may be other forum people in it. Bruce Boyer, James Sherwood, Hamish Bowles , Christian Chensvold and...

    Simple Polo Shirts

    Can someone recommend a simple, plain polo shirt, decent quality though not luxury (e.g., not Smedley; $200 for a polo is not happening), WITHOUT any visible insignia? Something that says "I realize how old I am and I am not trying to look like a kid" but that also does not say "I am so old...

    Public pool etiquette

    Someone who knows more than me, plz correct me if I am wrong about this. So, I've been swimming now for about 7 years after a long hiatus. Most of the time I am at a local pool where I have my own lane. At certain times of the year, that pool is closed and I have to swim at a Y. The Y is ok...

    Help with computer problem

    I have a software problem that I cannot solve. The main issue is, once the computer is on, it steadily uses more and more RAM the longer it is on, but the usage never goes down. You can close every program but the RAM will still be very high, even maxed out, and it never drops. You have to...

    The end-game of pretension?

    I have never seen anything quite this stupid. I feel that, as a more or less enthusiastic fine-diner, they are making us all look really bad. Letting down the team, as it were: http://ateliercrenn.com/food_menu.pdf

    Chasing Mavericks

    OK, so this is not a good movie. The script is terrible, it jumps around, there are several sub plots that barely rise to the level of being called that. What is Jay's friend doing with the evil dude who gives him money? Really, Frosty's wife just died like that? Jay's mother's character is...

    TFL Rouget + Garlic cake + garlic chips recipe

    Anyone ever gotten this to work? The garlic cakes, despite being frozen solid, always melt instantly. The chips tend to come out way too dark.

    Please explain the mortgage information cartel

    1) Why is it impossible to check rates online? I know you can do it in a general way, but to learn anything specific, you have to enter reams of personal info, and then they will "get back to you"--meanwhile selling all your info to every spammer in the universe. Is tehre some effective cartel...

    "American Kobe"

    OK, I know this is a total fraud, etc. But I was curious so I bought two strips on Friday, seasoned them and "aged" them in the fridge for three days and then cooked them. In a pan, butter+oil, basting constantly. Honestly the best steak I can recall ever eating. Totally worth it. Since I...

    Toyota Prius

    I drove one of these the past two days. It is a really nice car. I enjoyed it a lot. Well designed, nice handling, terrific interior, and way cool Star Trek like displays. They are all over NorCal. Like, six on our street alone. I think they are talking about replacing the bear on the...

    Secrets of the Discourses

    I am giving these away for free. They are hard-won. No need to thank me. In D I 6, "Sparta" = the classical best regime, i.e., Plato's "City in Speech" or Aristotle's "Polity." "Venice" = Epicureanism. In D I 52, "Piero" vascilating between support for the Medici and support for "freedom" =...

    It's all relative, wear what you want.

    I mean, it's just clothes and it's all a matter of personal taste. YOU need to like what you wear, not anyone else. There are no absolutes and the rules are for a bygone era. Sometimes I think we lose sight of these important truths. I'm glad we had this chat.

    Manton's Law

    John O'Sullivan, peripatetic editor and intellectual, once formulated "O'Sullivan's Law". It states that any organization not explicitly right wing will eventually become left-wing. The examples bearing this out are too numerous to mention. To this I add Manton's Law of SF Threaks: any...
