2017 Chuff thread

[DrakeTungsten]

Shedding 15 pounds after sticking to some good nutrition and exercise. Getting stronger with the bodyweight training I'm doing.

That's awesome, man.  Good for you.  I'm going through a premature mid-life crisis and have gone under the tutelage of a body building physician for the last few months.  Sad to say I'm currently stronger than I've ever been.  He tells me I've progressed from "weak, ugly ---smurfette---" to "ugly ---smurfette---" in between screaming at me in Spanish. 

 

Cool. Stride amongst the millennials not as a mighty old man, but as a mighty old man.

  Well, I can tell you from experience that nothing kicks the old mid-life crisis in the balls harder than getting fitter, more flexible and stronger.  Good on ya Jim.  I started getting pissed off that I'd ache all over after just doing simple stuff like gardening or working on the car not to mention I couldn't fit into my favourite Levi 501's without popping the top button.  I don't ache at all any more the day after hard physical work.  The only downside is a cupboard full of clown pants. Good news for you dudes in your 30s and 40s!

... Fahrenheit is based upon some guy sticking a thermometer outside and saying "yeah we'll call that a 62".  That doesn't mean I'll switch, but it does make more sense.

Didn't he put a thermometer in a solution of salt water or something like that? ;P

Fahrenheit scale started with body temp, which was supposed to be 100 degrees, but they screwed up the measurement, which is why body temp is 98.6, not 100.  A "foot" was based on the kings foot when it was established.  Although the scales were established based on things that made sense at the time, they are just way too arbitrary in today's standard.

There's like 10 different explanations for those measurements, bro.  Take your factoids somewhere else.

Wow, as an author I thought you'd do some kind of fact checking before posting some ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- like that.

Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer which was more accurate than Roemer's alcohol based thermometer. Fahrenheit  thought the human body was 96* not 100*.  To allow for a greater degree of precision of the mercury thermometer, the Roemer's scale was multiplied by 4.

Fun fact Celsius and Fahrenheit converge at -40 degrees.

[Howard_Casto]

Also the human body isn't one temperature anyway.  98.6 is the average.... it varies from person to person.  I run a little cold as does my mother. 

In regards to the foot.  You all are aware that the distance has changed a lot over the years even though it's still called the same thing.   The yards we use today are based on sewing, which in turn was based upon ship measurements (the sails, the rigging, ect.).... feet are based upon carpentry, ect.  They were adjusted into units that worked well with the professions that had to measure with that scale the most.  It's starting to become less relevant in regards to carpentry now that soulless corporations manufacture lumber and 3/4 plywood isn't quite 3/4" 2x4"s are 1.5x3 ect.....

You guys are naffin' the chuff...

I'm chuffed my buddy HaRuMaN finally met PBJ.

[pbj]

I'm far too fat and ugly to be mistaken for one of those gentlemen.

I'll try again to get my $20 next year.

I've never claimed to be a handsome man...

I was definitely chuffed to meet Les Claypool though.  Very cool guy, easy to talk to and funny.     His wine is pretty good too.

[jdbailey1206]

That gives me serious chuff when band members or any other celebs take the time to talk.  People that think they are better than anyone are serious naffholes in my book.

Wow, as an author I thought you'd do some kind of fact checking before posting some ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- like that.

I just went with what my high school chemistry teacher taught me back in 1987, and back then things were usually prefaced with "the story goes that..."  Doesn't matter if it is right or not, it made the point to high school students that the scale wasn't arbitrary, no matter how little relevance the basis has today, which is why I shared it when Howard suggested the scale was completely arbitrary and made no sense.  I suppose it would have helped if I had prefaced my post with "the way I heard it in high school was..."

And no, as an author I do almost no research or "fact checking".  Sure, it is all pure ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---, I am a fiction writer.  On a note I found interesting, a friend who had just graduated with a masters in bio-chemistry read my first book about a year ago and told me that I must have done a ton of research to write it.  My "fact checking" was recalling fragments of sci-fi stories I read 30+ years ago that sounded good and writing those into the story.  Perhaps the same chemistry teacher who told the story about Fahrenheit mistakenly marking human body temp at 100 degrees is teaching college bio-chemistry now...

So turns out Dr. Kripal works half a mile away, so I picked up a copy of his book and got it signed.  The Communion movie terrified me as a child, much more than it should have.  Anyway, very nice guy.  He says Whitley is telling the truth, whatever the visitors may be.

This topic has been moved temporarily. It is jeopardizing the Google Ads on the forum, which pay for the forum.  Once I figure out how to remove Google from just this thread I'll put it back.

I thought they measured weight in stones...

Men measure their weight in cajones.

[pbj]

Yeah, the pornographic thread got the forum flagged as pornographic.  Go figure.

 

[ChadTower]

Never thought that really belonged here anyway.  There are a billion places on the net to get that stuff.

[Mike A]

Every time the subject comes up, everybody says dump the cheesecake thread. Let is stay dead.

[pbj]

Yeah, but that MPM weirdo had nothing else to contribute to this forum, guys.

Lol yeah his post count probably took a massive hit.

They have other songs like the Baha Men have songs besides "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
