Has anyone tried losing weight by just eating half of what you used to? I made it my theme for 2026 and it is starting g to work a bit. I am hungry sometimes, particularly in the afternoon.
I don’t eat breakfast and eat a half lunch and a half dinner. Sometimes I’ll snack on mixed nuts in between. Just curious if anyone’s had success with this.

Moved into a new house a little over a year ago. My family loves it and we are comfortable. Today, the AC/Heat company on contract came to do their bi-annual check up. I have two units-one in the attic upstairs, and one on the side of the house.
The home inspection we had done before moving in late 2024 said “AC Unit replaced two years ago.”
The one in the attic was indeed replaced in 2023. However, the outside one is from 2010. The guy even showed me. He also said it would be smart to replace it. He sent a quote-only $8,200. I’m a bit peeved this wasn’t caught in the home inspection.

My question is-if I go purchase a home warranty where I pay a few hundred bucks a year and the outside unit craps out, say in a year, will the home warranty buy me a new one?
Also, will the home warranty company come out and inspect everything first before agreement?

Ate you talking about the one with James Franco?

The Iron Heel by Jack London. Extremely hard to get through. Nothing like A Call in the Wild or White Fang I read back in middle school. Doesn’t help that London was a huge commie either.

Never been to rehab myself, but I’d get a copy of Man’s Search for Meaning if I did.

I saw T2 at the movies with friends in the summer of 91. I was 11. I had never seen T1 at the time-it came out when I was 4. I agree with the OP that T1 is the best, but I still really like T2. I do not like any of the others.

I decided to rewatch the first two movies with my kids. They were the edited for tv versions of course. I explained to my kids that T2 was the biggest summer hit that summer and one of the world’s most popular bands at the time was Guns N’ Roses, who had a major hit song in the movie (this was right before Nirvana and Pearl Jam supplanted GNR if I remember correctly). In any event, in the scene at the mall when Arnold takes out his gun, he had been hiding it in a box of roses and my 5 year old son yells out “Hey guns and roses!”. I’m in my mid 40s and have seen the movie at least 10 times and I’ve never picked up on that hidden message! Sometimes it takes a child.

Who in God’s name is Matt Bowers?

When I was at LSU in the mid to late 90s, the Tiger Baseball team went on early season road trips to Long Beach State and Arizona State. I get why we don’t do that anymore (concession sales), but I think we also hosted Cal State Fullerton one year.

I also understand you want to get northern teams down here in February and early March. But it seems like in recent years we have been scheduling schools I did not even know were schools/never heard of.

To be clear, I’m totally cool with the weekend in Jacksonville. I’m even cool with the Dartmouth and Northeastern weekend. But Milwaukee? Did you even know there was a Univ of Milwaukee? Why not just play the Univ of Wisconsin? And Sacramento State? Come on, seriously?

Does anyone know the thought process behind this?
