I want to like this game so bad. On paper it is exactly the kind of game that I love, but trying to play it multi-player with my partner is just an experience in frustration. It seems so perfect for multi-player, but so much of the interface just seems setup for one player only.

This is going to end badly.

Core keeper.

It’s a co-op base building game similar to minecraft only top-down pixel art graphics. Easy to sink hundreds of hours into, and if you get yourself a copy as well, then you can both play together

Checked there and searched online for any demo modes/ testing codes that would allow me to mute it. Evidently, a lot of folks online absolutely hate my microwave as well, because no one can mute it. That said, the community of microwave haters has provided me with instructions to rip out the speaker if I choose to silence the wailing banshee for good.

My microwave has an un-interuptable 6 shrill beeps, that then repeat if the door is not opened in 10 seconds. There is no mute option, and it can be heard everywhere in the house. I have seriously considered just ripping the speaker out of it. It is, without a doubt, the appliance I hate most in my house.

Some will probably exist as exhibition pieces in places like Williamsburg, but a lot of the practical skill and techniques are in danger of being lost due to lack of use. Among the skills that I would like to see preserved are things like flint knapping, blacksmithing (blade smithing is still doing fairly well), foraging, manual land navigation, and to an extent manual stone carving / banking masonry.

Much of the manual nature of these skills has been replaced by automation or handheld electronics, so they are practiced by a dwindling number of artisans.

Open a non-profit primitive skills school. There are several of these skills that are rapidly dying and will likely be gone within a generation.

It isn’t a terrible recommendation if you have good form and are comfortable with the lift. Deadlift hits pretty much the whole back when it’s done right, but it can also be done wrong in quite a lot of ways.

Even with deadlift, I would probably still add isolation lifts targeting the areas you want to see improvement on.

My normal routine is to combine chest back and core into one routine. I alternate that with my leg routine and accessories (mostly arms and shoulders) routine. That lets me hit each twice a week with one day off, but a lot of that is also going to depend on your personal recovery speed.

Since it’s something you would like to focus on I would recommend hitting the area 2-3 times a week if your recovery time allows.

Face pulls, bent over rows, back extensions, good mornings, and inclined dumbell shrugs.

You want to focus on strengthening the muscles up and down the spine.

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It’s really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

That’s the one!

In 2011 there was an episode of Curiosity on the Discovery Channel that had Trump narrating a dollar amount of what selling every scrap of the U.S. would be worth.

You can bet that is the absolute goal.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - NES

The Legend of Zelda - NES

This was my immediate thought.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I read it years ago and was taken aback by how calming the read was, while at the same time opening my mind to what was at the time for me, completely new thought processes.

Great sci-fi/fantasy story with a massive dystopian backdrop and fantastic adventure elements. Character interactions are great, and it is a ridiculously fun romp.

It has been a great reintroduction to how much fun reading can be.

Exactly. No fuss, and no muss. Be direct, but tactful. The more obfuscated you make this conversation, the more awkward it’s going to be.
