[C14] One Down, One To Go

The first of the two remaining C14 credit cards has finally been paid off.

Yes, it came out of my pocket.

Citibank, you could have continued to accrue small amounts of interest for several months, had you not been inflexible cockbaskets and jacked the rate up threefold when the last payment was two days after the cutoff.

Chase, your pound of flesh is coming.

Fitness & Physics Funnies

Fitness certifications are like personality disorders: just about everyone in the business has at least a couple.

critus: I'd like to know who the so-and-so is that keeps turning the top of the coffee pot so the arrows don't line up
critus: grumble mumble
etcet: someone who thinks it will help the carafe "breathe" and let out the last few drops, probably
critus: ...
etcet: what? that seems like the most probable explanation
critus: BAD COFFEE DOESN'T BREATHE
etcet: no, no. this is not a palate issue, it's a physics issue.
critus: ahh, you seem to be misunderstanding the issue, though
etcet: which is that you keep spilling the shitty coffee
critus: they don't turn it so the coffee comes out more
critus: they turn it so that when you go to pour it just comes out the side of the pot
etcet: right. someone, probably at the end of the last pot, did that so they could get the dregs out, rather than brew up a fresh batch, and never re-secured it
etcet: because people are lazy
critus: those bastards
etcet: terry tate has words for them

[Fitness] Wrapping Up the Velocity Diet Program

Today was the last day, and called for one last iteration of 480 bodyweight moves, done as fast as possible.

When I finished them today, I may have done a very sweaty fist-pump after checking my watch (and before collapsing), thinking, "Hey, I cut seven and a half minutes off my first one!"

In that, I was wrong.
