Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I’m gonna confess that despite my recent misadventures with a UV-C lamp, it’s been a bloody life changer for me with regards to my allergies. I’m also gonna confess I’m feeling so fucking liberated I wanna start each zoom meeting by singing “I’ve Got A Golden Ticket”.

Allergies life-changer? Details please!

I use a 100W lamp. 15 mins for smaller rooms. 30 mins for larger ones. 2-3 times a week. Need to fully air out the less ventilated rooms for about an hour because of the ozone. I don’t know if the ozone really does anything but my wife bought it so I just used it. I’m gonna buy a non-ozone producing version to try it out.

A $400 air purifier did balls for me.

Sunday was a tough day.

I went to get dogfood and dropped the bag before I could make it to the register in the store then had to stop and reset in the parking lot before I got to the car.

Later that evening I couldn’t open the pickle jar during Burger Time.

I’m great, the family is great, everything is Solid.

I’ve been messing with some COC grippers lately and it’s really wiped out my open hand and thumb “strength.” Or maybe it’s like a practice/coordination thing, my hands just want to curl up into useless claws to get into that gripper position.

What’s up with you bros? Back to school(shaving) or sending the little one to school(skyzyk)?

Did I miss anything cool, or any fun controversies around here?

Confession:
During the under 52kg boxing I realised that as a 115kg man you could remove 52kg of body weight and I would still be considered “normal weight” at 63kg.
Its freaking me out that you could remove an Olympic athlete from me and I’d still be average size…

You gotta stop eating them.

Shit, stupid thought just popped into my head. Would you still be natty if you ate a roided weightlifter?

Is that even a real question? Of course not. Assuming he was on orals…

Wouldn’t you consume the orals if they were still being digested when the athlete expired?

Shit, this isn’t reddit?

Yea. That’s why I said of course you’re no longer natty assuming the athlete you are eating was using orals lol or At least that’s what I meant to imply.

Ah ok. I was confused. My thoughts suddenly took a detour into how in the fuck did some author who thought he knew a lot about roids and science and shit believe Ryan Keneally really drank protein shakes mixed with testosterone powder when I saw your post.

Too many dumb things happened IRL this week that really stretched and distorted my concept of logic. Not bad. Just dumb.

I assume so. Aren’t most commercially farmed meats pumped w/hormones, which are essentially steroids?

Although, some athlete who got popped did blame it on tainted pork and scientists claimed that her excuse was plausible.

Apparently you could get two athletes and a small child out of me at 126kg.

I feel your pain.

Seriously, no lol. That’s because these hormones are made for administration through injections so they aren’t bioavailable or active or whatever the fuck it is when taken orally unless they’re methylated or some shit like that I can’t remember. Any chemists around?

In that case, @carlbm can continue eating olympic athletes who may or may not be doping and still be natty

We had guests for dinner yesterday. I usually cook for these types of things but I told my wife we’ll have a burger night. We have a swish burger a few blocks away but it’s quite pricey so I had to do some convincing to get the green light.

It was all going swimmingly until our guests took their first bite out of their burgers and seemed a bit taken a back. They were very unimpressed with the burger which I thought was amazing and everyone I know who has had it raves about it.

I was a bit surprised at this as they keep raving about Beyond Meat and how they prefer it to meat, so I thought they’d be quite appreciative of me finding a place that does by Beyond Meat and paid extra to get their preferred choice but I guess no.

My wife is still upset at me but I confess this was extraordinarily satisfying.

There was never any need to go “Beyond” - meat is fine as is.
