I won't sit here and think for a second that I know enough about the USPS to "fix" it, but I will say that I really don't see a need for them to visit my mailbox 6 days a week.

3/22/2026 1:50:24 PM

Thats fair. Do you think someone will come up with a solution that makes it solvent for a while? I mean i feel like we kind of "have" to have it? But certainly can't keep doing this "we are out of money" every few years

3/22/2026 2:03:49 PM

My confidence in the current administration to come up with anything besides a grift is very low.

3/22/2026 2:05:26 PM

What are some shows on tv you like?

3/22/2026 4:42:39 PM

I don't really watch any tv shows.

3/22/2026 5:03:16 PM

What about sports? Listen to any talk radio?

[Edited on March 22, 2026 at 5:05 PM. Reason : Reworded, sports isn't really a "tv show"]

3/22/2026 5:04:45 PM

I watch NASCAR if I'm not doing anything else while it's on. I listen to a few NASCAR podcasts and some podcasts from some comedians I like. There are some YouTube channels I like.

Why hasn't iran gave up yet?

3/27/2026 2:43:32 AM

Probably because they realize they have all the leverage and the US has no plan.

3/27/2026 7:45:59 AM

3/27/2026 10:18:42 AM

san diego jam knot

What is your favorite book from the new testament, if you have one

3/31/2026 8:11:30 PM

not a fan

3/31/2026 9:14:46 PM

*praying hands emoji*

Do you think you could drive a racecar? Like its just a manual trans right?

3/31/2026 9:32:51 PM

Just drive it around? Sure. I think anyone who can drive a street car could figure out how to drive any race car if they have a little time to learn the specific clutch and shifting.

Turn laps at a reasonable speed? No, probably not. But there are lots of different types of race cars and race tracks. I've watched Ford Escorts with roll cages race around small oval tracks. Is that a race car? I could do that.

Have you ever had an opinion on the ACLU?

4/1/2026 11:54:13 AM

Big fan.

4/1/2026 12:45:02 PM

More enthusiastic than i figured. Nttawwt. I thought it was hit or miss, but thats me just assuming. Now that you say you like it, i'm more inclined to like it. I thought they advocated for at times "wtf" type stuff. I feel like i'm glad they exist for sure.

4/1/2026 12:57:52 PM

They are very principled in their support of civil rights. Sometimes that means protecting the civil rights of bad people.

4/1/2026 1:52:40 PM

What are first 5 principles that come to mind if someone asked you to make a top 5 list of principles to be successful at life?

4/1/2026 1:59:15 PM

that's gonna depend on how you measure success

4/1/2026 2:03:38 PM

Your definition

4/1/2026 2:05:52 PM

Avoid debt besides a mortgage. Listen a whole lot more than you talk. Accept responsibility for the results of your actions. Mind your own business. Figure out your own priorities.

4/1/2026 2:45:31 PM

Do you have a gym membership?

4/12/2026 5:21:30 PM

No. I have an indoor bike, a cable machine, and some dumbells and stuff at home.

4/12/2026 6:06:12 PM

We also have some dumbbells on TWW. But just a few. Overall, this is a pretty erudite crowd!

4/12/2026 7:02:37 PM

Do you ever weigh your food? like for example say you want around 180g of broccoli etc

4/16/2026 12:26:01 PM

yes

4/16/2026 12:35:28 PM

how long did it take until you got used to eating smaller portions and not feeling hungry afterwards?

4/16/2026 12:59:14 PM

i still feel hungry a whole lot of the time. i have a tremendous appetite.

4/16/2026 1:03:56 PM

^how do you differentiate between simply being hungry, and starving your muscles of protein?

4/16/2026 4:03:09 PM

I counted calories in and out pretty meticulously for years. Got a pretty good feel for it now.

4/16/2026 4:22:06 PM

about how many grams of protein/carbs/fat do you eat per day?

4/16/2026 8:45:52 PM

idk i quit worrying about macros. that shit will make you neurotic.

4/16/2026 9:13:35 PM

Well i mean if you have a good feel just curious...like ball park. Like 150g protein?(thats the one i was going to ask first but i went with all since you said you had a good feel) Also curious if you are one of those people that restricts carbs etc

4/16/2026 9:15:43 PM

NeuseRvrRatGPT

4/16/2026 10:00:08 PM

yeah probably around 150 g per day. i do not restrict carbs. bicycles run on carbs.

4/17/2026 7:39:56 AM

Do you regularly consume eggs?

4/17/2026 6:31:00 PM

Yes

4/17/2026 6:44:37 PM

Do you think the whole cage free, free range, pasture raised stuff is worth it?

4/17/2026 6:46:56 PM

absolutely not

4/17/2026 8:33:51 PM

Do you still take your coffee black?

4/19/2026 11:55:59 AM

Yes

4/20/2026 3:24:40 PM

is the Neuse as disgusting as the Tar and Pamlico Rivers?

4/20/2026 3:27:08 PM

I can answer that, it's as disgusting and worse!

4/20/2026 4:00:20 PM

^get your own thread

^^probably nastier. More and bigger towns along it.

4/21/2026 9:52:12 AM

Do you ever eat bratwursts?

4/21/2026 7:43:17 PM

Occasionally

4/22/2026 2:22:46 PM

Was there something you quit eating on your weight loss journey that once you got skinny enough you were like "f it i deserve to eat it now"
