If yyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu can believe it. It’s Friday once again. Welcome back everyone, I hope your work week went well and I hope your weekend will be even better. I have some OT I’m putting in tomorrow and then some MTG I plan to play. I would like to get some more challenges done in I am Your Beast and then maybe some Hell Divers 2. I would like to get some weight lifting done at the gym, but if the weather this weekend wouldn’t be unbearably humid I may go for some walks outside and enjoy the weather. Also, I hope to remember to water my plants, poor guys been getting blasted by heat this week.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
Some Borderlands 1/2/3, some Cat Quest 2/3 and probably some Fretless: Wrath of Riffson.

What things would you like to do this weekend?
Cleaning, laundry, and I need to empty my office’s closet. There’s too much crap in there.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
The back-end of 1300kg car. 0/10, would not recommend.

Collagen, yea or nay?
If we’re talking supplements, meh. I don’t really need supplements. But collagen itself is kinda important for your skin and connective tissue.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
I would like to finish up Retrowave (1 achievement to go). Tower Unite is a game I always like to go back to and support the devs, I always say I am going to play it and rarely do so, Tower Unite :joy:. I thought about seeing what is going on with Asphalt 9 again since I have been away for so long, but I don’t want to get hooked again. Other than that, just scroll through steam and grab what looks fun.
What things would you like to do this weekend?
I am supposed to hike though it is tentative due to weather. I am supposed to meet up with a friend and potentially see the new Jurassic Park. I would like to get in a workout somewhere in there. That’s really about it, the coffee, movie, and hike will take at least 1 day worth of hours of my weekend.
What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
Oooo thats a good question. I’d have to say a boulder that I found in the ground of my yard while cleaning it up.
Collagen, yea or nay?
Yeah, I’ve used Collagen peptides and protein blend before. I did feel that it was good for the joints, hair, and fingernails, but it was too expensive to keep it up so I just switched to weigh and creatine for my supplements.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
I’m hoping to have a bit more game time this weekend. My buddy and I are still playing The Division 2 and I am hoping to get some more Quake in. I’m not sure how much time I will have though, we are super busy right now.

What things would you like to do this weekend?
I would like to relax. I know we have family pictures with my wife’s family on Sunday. I’m sure I will also have to do some house related stuff this weekend as well. Other than that, just chores.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
By myself? I have no clue. With someone? Probably an old cast iron furnace.

Collagen, yea or nay?
Yea, its a pretty essential protein to the body.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
A - I want to play some Deadzone Rogue. I have been holding off from playing solo so I can play and be at the same level as my friend who plays with me. We have been enjoying it. I also want to play a little more FBC Firebreak. I have gotten max level on all characters and got all the equipment to max as well. Now im just trying to max out the perks and get all the cosmetics.

What things would you like to do this weekend?
A - I will be hanging out with my mom who is coming to visit. I finally will be able to give her a gift that I have been holding for a while. Its from my favorite store. We also will likely go out to eat and shop this weekend.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
A - Back when I was into lifting and played football, I would say the heaviest thing I lifted from the ground was 235lb power clean :sweat_smile: I think if I attempted that today, my spine would fly out of my back. I deadlifted some bigger weights I think around 315-325 but I think power clean is more impressive.

Collagen, yea or nay?
A - For me, I don’t believe I take any form of collagen. Maybe I drink or eat something that helps produce it naturally but I’m not going out of my way to take pure collagen.

What games would you like to play this weekend? We’ve actually got a tabletop gaming session planned. We’re using Monte Cook’s The Magnus Archives. based on the podcast of the same name, although it sort of spilled a little into The Laundry Files last time, and maybe a bit of the SCP Foundation.
What things would you like to do this weekend? Not die or go insane - see previous entry. Remember all the stuff I need to take back up to my partner’s after we finish the session.
What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted? Not sure. I’ve carried the company I work for a few times… :stuck_out_tongue: I don’t really keep count. My time in the gym is more trying to fix broken bits and keep my stamina up. I know I used to be able to do squats with about 200kg when I was 16-17, because I’d get the other two members of the front row on my shoulders as a warmup before a rugby match.
Collagen, yea or nay? As @c-t and @jplesage stated, it’s kind of required. The bits of me that are broken and need working on in the gym would not work anywhere near as well without it.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
I’m having a blast with the Portugal mod for Total War: Shogun 2, a game that’s hot off the assembly line, I know. I’m going to be sailing my galleon around and stealing people’s trade routes by force!

What things would you like to do this weekend?
I’ve got a stag party, so I’d like to be inebriated for a good percentage of it.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
Not sure specifically, but I used to be a landscape assistant, so there’d be huge sleepers and other dense or metal bits and pieces that had to go from point A to B, so probably something in that field.

Collagen, yea or nay?
Not sure I’ve ever thought about what collagen is, if I’m honest!

My fiancée is in the midst of a month long housesitting job so I’ve got a TON of time to myself, especially since I finished building our BBQ/deck cover. In terms of what I’ll play I’m working my way through The Alters right now and really enjoying it. I also just unlocked the pro goals in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3&4 last night so may put a few more hours in that too. Might also dive into Judgement since I picked it up on the Steam Sale and as an action-oriented game it might be a good change of pace from The Alters so we’ll see. I had it on my PS5 but never finished it and I feel way better about diving into it instead of Yakuza since there’s only one other game in the series lol.

What things would you like to do this weekend?

I finished my home improvement stuff for the summer by completing the lean-to cover over our deck/bbq area this week so most of my weekend project stuff is taken care of. That said we’re gonna have a contractor out within the next week or so to replace the roof, paint the house, and patch up the front of the porch (I could have done that myself but their quote was good enough that I decided to let them do it) so I’m gonna pull out a bush we’ve got in front of the deck that we’ve been meaning to get rid of anyways (we want the front yard to basically be a blank slate when we start landscaping next year so removing/killing the existing plants now lets the chemicals and stuff wash away).

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?

That’s a good question lol. When I regularly attended the gym my bench max was around 240 lbs so I’d say that in terms of what I for sure know the weight of. Without knowing the weight I’ve helped our maintenance guy move some pretty dang heavy office equipment here at work.

Collagen, yea or nay?

I won’t say nay as that implies I’m against it, which I’m not, but I never really took supplements or drank protein shakes when I was regularly working out. Only supplements I ever really took were like a men’s 1 a day or some magnesium. I was able to get to the size/shape I wanted by eating eggs for breakfast every morning and making sure lunch & dinner had some kind of meat with it.

Guild Wars 2.

having my checking account not hit zero.

several things come to mind:

  • many years ago, while I was in HSL, was “how many torps we lift/mounted on the helo?” Cause the broken yellow gear to do that was never fixed.
  • the next thing that comes to mind was a deflated pool we emptied, my sister wanted it moved, so I just picked it up… she was astounded.
  • lastly was a “fully loaded server rack” IDK everything that was in it, but we compressed 3 semi used racks into one, and had to move a live fiber run into it, without disconnecting - I braced an arm on the ground, and lifted it high enough so we could “swish” the fiber cable under the foot. so it was this “-” high for this “__” long. The guys with me didn’t think it could be done at all.
  • and because I have always just done things like that, this morning the heaviest thing I lifted was the small bottle of tiger balm I use a flexible nylon spatula to spread on my lower back.

If it is BaCoN flavor, then hell yea!
Pickle flavored will be rejected at the intake port.

I was, but it was all cleared up. A word in my answer triggered the bots. I think it was the 2nd sentence in my gaming answer (I don’t want to quote it and set it off again😂)

What games would you like to play this weekend?
stay awake which can be difficult. HP on PlayStation.
What things would you like to do this weekend?
gardening, mow, relax. Same as every weekend.
What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
John Deere gator. Just kinda lifted the front to slide it so I could get it out of the garage. For the whole thing, my motorcycle because the side stand fell. in HS (decades ago) leg press, I managed to do sets of about 535. I had strong legs.
Collagen, yea or nay?
not for me.

I dunno, but I find weird that corpo-friendly posts were suddenly flagged for approval. I blame the word “collagen” because it’s the only one that looks out of place.

What games would you like to play this weekend?
Do some more progress on Dungeons of Hinterberg, plus last night I played Fantasy Life i for about an hour and it seemed pretty fun so I might toy with that some more.

What things would you like to do this weekend?
Just gonna relax on Saturday; Sunday I’m flying to Chicago for a few days, going to see The Warning in concert on Tuesday and then fly back home to my Mexico spot for the remainder of my summer vacation.

And of course play with the kittens (they’ll be six weeks old on Sunday), though that’s giving me mixed feelings because we’re giving away 2 or 3 out of the four in September when they’re ready.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?
I think it might be a huge wooden platform that my friend and I moved across his yard that was serving as the base for his dogs’ outdoor kennel.

Collagen, yea or nay?
The gf has a bottle of collagen pills here on the kitchen table but I haven’t partaken.

What games would you like to play this weekend?

I’ve got a full day to kill alone so might get back into BioShock or more Tomb Raider. The real problem is having a YouTube watch later list with 90+ videos queued…

What things would you like to do this weekend?

Trail run! Nap. Beer.

What’s the heaviest object you’ve ever lifted?

~360 lbs. In my very brief stint as a construction laborer, we had to deadlift these aluminum beams so they could be attached to the structure. I guess technically only 180 lbs at a time, since we had to lift one end to hand off to the guy with the drill, then lift the other end to hand off to the 2nd guy with a drill. But I did all the lifting part so I’m counting it.

Math for anyone interested:

I beam. 6061 aluminum (0.0975 lb/in^3), 26 feet long, flange width 12 inches, web 23.5 inches, uniform thickness .5 inches.

12 x .25 x 2 = 6 in^2 (flange area)
23.5 x .25 = 5.875 in^2 (web area)
26 x 12 = 312 in (length of beam)
(6+5.875) x 312 = 3705 in^3 (volume of beam)
3705 x .0975 = 361.2375 lb

Does this count as using my engineering degree for work? :wink:

Collagen, yea or nay?

I guess if I get it from the food I eat then great! Otherwise not going to worry about adding it as a supplement.
