Cordelia was in it from the start but I'm glad they killed Doyle off, an equally annoying Irish version of Xander just wasn't needed - he wasn't any good at anything except for receiving messages from the powers so why not use the hawt chick instead.
She grew into the series quite nicely. Eventually :ermm:

That's good writing, that is.
I just watch Conan again as it was premiering on TMN. Best part was Conan as a kid , in the rest of the movie not much really happened.:mellow: The main villain lacked charisma and wasn't convincing evil enough.The big set pieces weren't thrilling enough by half and the climax was both a little confusing and pretty flat.
Momoa did a good job but all the other characters except maybe his father were underwritten so I didn't care what happened to any of them. Also depressing to see how we or the movie industry has regressed in terms of confronting sex. Gutting someone is perfectly OK but instead of a nude Valeria riding Arnold we get a few dimly lit shots of an obvious body double.
Conan isn't Sir Galahad, everything( and that includes the fight scenes) needs to have a better sense of immediacy, be in your face and down and dirty.

As for the rest. Going into it with absolutely no expectations of greatness, or even something decent, made the movie a pretty nice surprise. Mustn't take it seriously, though.

Make a thread and offer a prize to the person who guesses correctly what it was. Give clues if no one comes close.
It could well be the most fantastic thread this week.
If you don't have a prize, I'll donate a Turkey T-Shirt I have hanging around.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
If it was a knock-off of some sort, it might not be as illegal as customs like to imply in those notes they send you.
Idk much of Canadian law in particular, but importing something like that for personal use is usually allowed, iirc.

It's more or less exactly the same size and weight of a crate of Mac 10s if they were to be broken down and disguised as humanitarian supplies.

No but I'd gladly trade my left nut for one if anyone would like to offer.
Actually it was just something called a PWO(pre-workout) supplement where one of the ingredients 1 ,3- dimethylamylamine ( a mild stimulant derived from geraniums) had it's designation changed from supplement to drug in Canada and couple other Commonwealth countries.
Apparently you still can't import drugs.:mellow:

You can thank Cancer research for that one.
By the way almost No supplements at all are actually effective. The most acceptable one from a scientific perspective is Creatine. But then if you factor in the side-effects, and the terribly essential detoxing after, you're better off without it.
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
You are speaking as someone who has read a lot but has never used a PWO.I thought the same way until I tried one and the experience being a bit revelatory.
Sure most of the "benefits" are simply a caffeine high but I can honestly say that I rarely feel the same level of limiting fatigue that I use to experience all the time the day following a hard workout.
Anyway as far as I've heard there are no studies to link DMAA to cancer if that's what you are suggesting .Any of the anecdotal side effects seem to be more about increased anxiety or shortness of breath.The alleged risk of higher blood pressure or increased pulse seems to have been pretty much disproved.:unsure:
Also detoxifying from creatine?Your body produces creatine .:unsure:Sure if you overdose on the stuff you may end up harming your kidneys/liver but simply eating a diet too high in protein could have the same effect.
Anyway I'm not a scientist so I would be more than happy to believe anything you tell me if you back it up will hard evidence.

Being that it is rather small and easily ionizable, it comes out in the urine pretty readily. So I don't see how one would need to attempt a detox rather than just let things run their course.

Your body also produces DMT which Something Else mentioned, but I don't see you rushing to take that in for happiness or an edge. The thing most people ignore is that even if your body already produces something, it also regulates it. Your adding more to the pool of available proteins isn't really going to help. Sure, it increases a lot of Phosphate pathways etc. but there are other rate limiting steps involved in those pathways that are Creatine-independent. This is the explanation for all the muscle water weight you gain with Creatine. The body simply can't hydrolyze as fast as it needs, and it definitely can't utilize Creatine-P as fast as you supplement it. Your body can accustom itself to naturally produce that extra Creatine should it need it.
Your experience of feeling less exhausted after a work-out is not a placebo. But that's all the advantage Creatine supplements can actually give you. Creatine is great for short-burst energy, usually the 45 minute optimal work-outs etc. Other than that, it really can't do much in the body in the long-term. Just google "Creatine Efficacy" if you need more on that, but almost no one in the scientific/medical community thinks it's worth supplementing for the long term or for endurance sports.

Right, but given Creatine's increased concentration and the equilibrium to-and-fro fat deposits, the body stores more of it in fat when its activity (not to be confused with efficacy) is higher. These unnecessarily stored creatines can lay dormant in the body for decades and fuck your balance up later in life. This is one of the reasons why a lot of weight trainers adopt the 6/46 or 6/47 training schedule as opposed to a 7/52 which would logically provide higher gains. It lets the body run some of the stored water and excess creatine down, and is generally healthier for your muscles to grow at a slower pace and a slightly more natural environment.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Also, Idol, you're right. Work-out and PWO aren't high on my priorities. I prefer Tennis since I've all but given up relying on teammates. All I need is a couple of bananas and water.

We are talking about creatine, right?
Attachment 106253
With all that hydrogen bonding and nitrogen/oxygen incorporation, what makes you think this would be lipid soluble, let alone finding itself readily incorporated into fatty acid chains? I've never studied creatine behavior or anything, but on a purely fundamental approach, the thought that "most of it is stored in fat" is beyond far fetched.

Fat stores Lipids and Water in a 1:3 ratio in its storage tissues. Basically almost any and all circulatory molecules get stored. 'Tis why people can have resurgence or allergic reactions from foods they haven't eaten in a very long time.

What what what what what what? I don't think I ever said that, and if I did I was drunk. There's a gigantic difference between "more of it gets incorporated into fat tissue and lays dormant" and "most of it is in fat". 90% of the body's Creatine is targeted for muscle tissue.
