Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

[dt79]

@twojarslave

I’m here to confess that I don’t recall any calculus whatsoever, despite getting an A in the class almost 25 years ago. I’d need to look up how to find a limit or first derivative.

I’m actually quite impressed that I can even recall those terms. All of my highest-level math studies happened to coincide with being quite high. It’s all been downhill from there, cognitively-speaking. Nowadays I’m lucky if I can correctly identify most shapes and use a calculator.

I took F maths for A levels. I think there was some calculus in there somewhere.

This is what I can recall: 0

Mark Baum says 0% :-)

I’m considered “tall” and the deadlift feels like the only lift that fits my body (out of the big 3)

Same. I feel like my deadlift is (relatively) good because I’m tall, not in spite of it.

I bought a fatty cut of meat, a big pork shoulder. Threw it in a Dutch oven that was way too small for it and put it in the oven for half a day.

When it came out, the shoulder was completely submerged in its own fat. Initially, I thought I completely stuffed it up but what I had done was accidentally confit an entire shoulder in its own fat and my goodness it was good.

To my wife, I explained how I had planned for this but was worried it wouldn’t work

at what temperature did you set your oven? I have a pork butt in my basement I’ve been saving to smoke, but would like to have a plan b for it and I have just the right dutch oven for this

250f / 120c

thanks man. you’re a good dude regardless of what everyone says

For any Nine Inch Nails fans out there, I highly recommend reading the latest and greatest “rate my physique” thread while listening to “Mr. Self-destruct” on loop. Similar to watching Wizard of Oz while listening to Pink Floyd.

Well you got me with this one!

I’m waiting for @bulldog9899 to drop the hammer

Dude’s in a dark place mentally. I honestly feel sorry for the guy. There’s obvious lingering mental damage from the meth. Hopefully he doesn’t have any episodes of psychosis from it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is.

@polo77j

regardless

Irregardless.

Yeah. I went their.

[anna_5588]

Oh no, I hope he’s okay

[twojarslave]

Yeah… you may want to sit that one out. Study calculus harder instead so you don’t bring shame to your family again.

[punnyguy]

I confess I have no idea why people continue to post in that thread.

I confess it leads me to make inferences about said individuals which I perhaps should not.

[whang]

I’d like to believe some people genuinely want to help. He most likely needs professional help, but I guess some help from random internet dudes wouldn’t be harmful anyway.

I have been on semi hiatus on here… since im still adjusting mentally to the new “normal” I will give a look .

@bulldog9899

since im still adjusting mentally

Are you doing alright? We’ve missed your BS detection

[samul]

Confession (kinda): I just had a “cheat meal” after so much time.

[bulldog9899]

Ok is a relative term… some anxiety…depression and some OCD but I am dealing with it . Thanks for asking young lady.
