Newsfeed Readers
RiKD, Oct 19 2011
Just got up to speed on this. Definitely the way to go. I use Google Reader just b/c I'm a google fan and can link it to my droid.
Any recommendations for feeds?
Right now I just have a pretty standard news feed and added:
-New York Times
-Wall Street Journal
-Time
-The Economist
-Mark Cuban's blog
-Harvard Business Review
-Jonathan Wilson (Footy)
-Liquid Poker (yeah budday)
-T-Nation (juiced up gorilla meathead site)
-WikiLeaks
-Zonal Marking (nother footy site)
I'd obviously recommend any of these
I'm looking for:
-I'll try just about anything at least once
More Specific:
-Any topic covered in sunday NYT. top news, world news, opinion, business, fashion, entertainment, etc.
-Business
-Politics
-Technology
-NFL
-NHL
-Sports in General
-Men's Fashion
-Men's Magazine type stuff (GQ, Maxim)
etc
ENRON: Smartest guys in the room
RiKD, Sep 26 2011
Someone on here recommended this (sorry don't remember who but it was in reference to FTP debacle) and I have been happy w/ the recent docu recs so checked it out (sidenote: armadillo was kick ass. if you like that check out an hbo series generation kill). Pretty interesting and enlightening flick. All I remember about enron really was that in my economics class some friends and I were first place in the state in a stock competition (lol run good) then we were literally dead LAST after enron fell to .40c/share and everyone hated enron and a bunch of rich white guys in suits and ties looked extremely sad in court rooms.
What actually went down is pretty crazy and worth a look.
+ Show Spoiler +
fuckin lu pai man lol. gets outta there w/ 250mil. freeroll rhinowned for life. buys the rocky mountains. buys hawaii. rofl. there is probably a decent chance he can't look at himself in the mirror and hates life but if he somehow got out of there w/ a clear conscious rock on!
skilling makes my skin crawl. f psychopath. probably read crime and punishment and came to the conclusion he was better than raskolnikov. oops. should have listened to dostoevsky.
ken lay is the same. tossup who is worse.
does anyone know the deal w/ bush? that part of the movie seemed sketchy. bush obv had a pretty poor record but all those california dems were idiots too.
everyone who saw this is going to hate anyone who traded for enron ever and probably anyone who has traded anywhere ever.
another thing is how much blame should the banks get? on one hand it seems they are f bulletproof and have no accountability ever. on the other hand it would be tough to see through those shenanigans when enron was handing them tons of money and from all accounts are a rockstar company. firing analysts who were doing their job exceptionally and started to see through the shenanigans is pretty deplorable though.

it was pretty kick ass.
i've been basically bodypart split bb training for a long ass time and decided to switch it up a bit. i want to diet down but on standard bb split it is frustrating to work your ass off doing the same lifts over and over again and lose strength. on the come up it's a lot of fun b/c you can eat a shit ton of grits then like slather some chicken w/ a ton of bbq sauce and potatoes and go wild in the gym and see all your lifts improve but i've more or less stayed the same for a while.
basically i remember there was a thread posted about the spartacus workout as well as i know there are a lot of mma guys on here and i was just wondering if anyone has experience w/ this type of training. #1 it was extremely motivating to see how fast i can do the workout. #2 in theory and practice i don't see how anything can get you more shredded. #3 it's new and exciting. i don't want to lose all my gains from standard bb'ing though so was curious about this from ppl w/ more experience.
also, anyone have any workout drug recommendations?
i have used hot-rox in the past and would use again.
best fish oil?
