@SterlingArcher You use your brain at work, I lift heavy things at work. You have a bulging brain, I have bulging muscles. I know someone with neither. :)

Sterling Archer

I've been actually dedicated to going to the gym. I gained like.. 20 lbs this past year transitioning from college to adult life, so I want to go back down, even though I'm still skinnier than I ever was in high school

I'm a week strong so far, hoping to make it 2 weeks

J. Musser

8:29 PM

@SterlingArcher How much can you bench press?

Sterling Archer

Not much, I'm not that strong in the chest. This time last year I could do plates 5 times, but without a spotter I'm not comfortable doing that. So maybe 120-125lbs comfortably through 3 sets?

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher That's pretty good. But it also depends how tall you are.

Sterling Archer

6'3

J. Musser

I'm 6' 3 1/4"

Sterling Archer

I've lost muscle tone as well, so I'm trying to bring it back up. I've gone from 255lbs (hs) to 170lbs (end of college) and now I'm 195lbs, but with way more muscle than I did the last time I was @ 200

J. Musser

8:33 PM

I can do 12 reps with 365 lb bench press right now.

@SterlingArcher That sounds like a healthy weight.

Sterling Archer

You'd think so, but even at 170lbs I still had a pot belly

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher No flab here, at 225 lbs.

Sterling Archer

It's weird, 170 @ 6'3 seems underweight, yet I was still overweight for my frame.

I guess I just need to blast my core and shred them lbs

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher Ah! the frame is important.

@SterlingArcher Do that. Life is very different when you feel like a super hero.

Q: Where did my rep go?

About 20 minutes ago I had 10100 rep, and now I see it is missing some ~36 or so rep (I just got an upvote so less now) -- but I don't see anything in my rep history to support the change. However my meta account still shows the 10100 (now 10110) rep correctly. What happened to my main site re...

I don't know if this is related to the mass user spam and removal

Sterling Archer

8:36 PM

@J.Musser I'm keeping track of my workouts and weight to help motivate me :) So far I've lost a pound this week, but I'm constantly sore so that's a good sign

@rlemon have you been working out or are you still injured?

rlemon

i've been lifting but no cardio last few days

Sterling Archer

My cousin told me to always start with cardio, to get the heart rate up before you lift.

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher Try sit-ups while holding 80 lb barbel over your head. Real rip.

Sterling Archer

So I start my workout with some stretches, and then a mile on the elliptical till my bad knee is strong enough to handle the impact of the treadmill

rlemon

@SterlingArcher I stretch, and pound back a redbull

my heart is a pumpin

(jokes)

Sterling Archer

8:39 PM

@J.Musser I follow a weighted ab routine I learned from my ex-gf. She was a track star in college so i figured she must have done something right

rlemon

but really, some days I just don't feel like cardio -- remember: standing desk.

hichris123

@rlemon Did you check the "see removed posts" or whatever checkbox on that page?

Sterling Archer

Why she ever went for a slacker-fatty like me I'll never know xD

@rlemon I keep forgetting that

brb meeting

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher If you have a gym within 8 miles, you can run there for cardio. Jogging won't cut it.

Etienne de Martel

Hello people! I don't know if this has already been discussed, but I keep seeing a bunch of people with swastika avatars join the C++ Lounge.

I'm wondering if you guys know about it.

J. Musser

8:43 PM

@EtiennedeMartel I had no idea...

Etienne de Martel

They don't talk. They just arrive en masse, and then a some time later their accounts gets deleted.

J. Musser

@EtiennedeMartel If their accounts get deleted, there isn't a problem.

hichris123

@EtiennedeMartel Being taken care of.

Etienne de Martel

What's going on, exactly?

(That's my actual question)

hichris123

... just what it looks like. People creating accounts, and joining chat with nazi avatars.

rlemon

8:44 PM

@hichris123 just did, not the case

hichris123

@rlemon weird

J. Musser

@EtiennedeMartel Sounds like a bunch of rebel users. There isn't a way to prevent them from creating accounts, but they should be deleted.

rlemon

just a thought: if a user was removed and they had downvoted me for a total of -4, but upvoted me for a total of +36, would the system maybe only show me the -4 reversal? — rlemon 10 secs ago

my current thoughts on this

hichris123

@rlemon 4 answer upvotes = 40 rep. 2 downvotes = -4 rep. 40 - 4 = 36. So that lines up.

Good idea.

rlemon

I'm more bothered by the fact that it is a mystery and less about the actual rep

Sterling Archer

8:50 PM

@J.Musser lol my apartment offers a gym in my building for free - that's what I use

J. Musser

Anyone know how much upvoting it takes for votes from deleted accounts to be moved to community, rather than being reversed?

@SterlingArcher Run there :)

Sterling Archer

LOL I do take the stairs there instead of the elevator

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher I usually take elevators - I use all my energy other places, and I'm too lazy.

Sterling Archer

My freshman year of college I lived in a 15 story dorm building, and we'd run the stairs everday. That's intense right there

J. Musser

@SterlingArcher Ha, yeah :P

It's a quiet room.

To the close voter -- this is still an issue, my rep change is not being reflected in my rep history. — rlemon 5 secs ago

upvote for visibility?

Q: Should employees with head injuries be allowed to post on meta?

While yodeling to myself quietly in our warehouse today, a pallet full of mugs came crashing down on my head, and gave me a concussion idea. First, it's very unlucky to go yodeling around on a skate board in a dark warehouse, and second, we could really use a short creative writing contest. Fort...

Q: De-linkify links in network profile if a network-wide suspension is applied

I noticed this network-wide spammer, with a network-wide suspension. They've filled their profile clear full of spam links, and the thing that delinks links in suspended profiles is working on per-site profiles. But on his network profile, the links are still links. They're nofollowed, but users ...
