      - I quoted this thinking it was Simpsons quote but I think it's actually from The Critic. -- nm - Qale May 21, 22:01
  - It's understandable and even expected with the superhero stuff ... and I wouldn't call it vital, in that case. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:39

  - This is like when I tried to get my mom to watch X-Files, and the first episode she saw was Home. - Beryllium May 21, 21:37 9
    - ohmigosh, heh. -- nm - i.b! May 21, 21:44
    - Wait. When was this? I thought that Home was only shown once by Fox. Based on initial reaction, they chose to never rerun that episode -- nm - JD May 21, 21:44 7
      - I just googled. crazy that it got an 11.9. hannibal's explosive popularity nets it a 2.46. times have so, so changed. -- (link) - amanda May 22, 06:21
      - We're in Canada, remember. We have networks that re-air. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:45 5
        
        Well we do too and while it might be broadcast legend, I thought that Home was only X-Files episode never to be rebroadcast by Fox -- nm - JD May 21, 21:47 4
        
        I could be wrong but I think it was pulled from syndication, not in-season rerunning -- nm - zork May 21, 21:50 1
        
        imdb says otherwise. -- (link) - Beryllium May 21, 21:53
        
        it was. it did show on FX later, though, when viewers voted for eps, for that very reason. -- nm - i.b! May 21, 21:49 1

    - Heh. I had some doubt. Er, wait....is it the curse of Redmond? - JD May 21, 21:27 3
      - even he knows, but apparently irrational exuberance made him forget. ::waves possibly lucky nails at him:: -- nm - i.b! May 21, 21:32
      - I won't say another word until it's over. I have done too much damage already -- nm - Bacon May 21, 21:31 1

  - It's great to see you folks getting into shape. I saw you and Will's post about doing laps. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 21:04 9
    - April 7 was my first day at the gym. Since then (so, 6 weeks or so), I've lost 6.8 lbs. Not a huge amount, but I can deal with 1 lb/wk. - kelly May 21, 21:12 8
      - that's fantastic. slow and steady. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 21:31
      - When you lose weight due to exercise it's going to come off slower, because the muscle you gain weights twice as much as the fat lost. - Bacon May 21, 21:17 6
        
        Right, but I mean - kelly May 21, 21:26 5
        
        Just remember 1 lb a week is 52 lbs in a year :) That was my average over the two years it took me to reach goal. -- nm - Meg May 21, 21:29 1
        
        It's better than the weight I was gaining! I'll take it! -- nm - kelly May 21, 21:37
        
        Oh, I agree. Eat healthier and you increase the benefit of exercise. - Bacon May 21, 21:29 2

  - There is an awesome device to help you out in the beginning. - Bacon May 21, 21:03 8
    - Now THIS is being a downer. :P - Beryllium May 21, 21:07 7
      - "You never forget how to ride a bike." - nevermind May 21, 21:10 5
        
        I think I was riding a ten-speed with hand brakes in my school days. When I was 12. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:12 4
        
        I've switched between. How are the disk brakes? -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:14 3
        
        Very responsive. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:15 2
        
        If I remember right the roads where you are aren't flat. - nevermind May 21, 21:28 1
        
        Correct. Nothing major near me, a few small hills - the main area I'd ride (the new trail) is mostly flat -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:32
      - Guilty -- nm - Bacon May 21, 21:07
  - Ride at low gears and speeds until you get completely comfortable. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:02
- Elliptical is a much more aggressive workout. FWIW, bery, I wouldn't worry about the exact amount of calories. - David May 21, 20:59 11
  - much more aggressive. I was doing that few months ago and it's a tough one. Loved it. - Remlik May 21, 21:06 1
    - and look at the hot women temporarily confused about Remlik's appeal! -- nm - David May 21, 21:24
  - And to be clear. I wasn't downgrading his effort. I was sharing how hard it is to get back into an exercise routine. - Bacon May 21, 21:02 1
    - I am well aware that you weren't being a downer :) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:06
  - yeah, no, I was just having fun with that. I did ten minutes on the bike, and the view would have been great if I'd brought my camera. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:00 6
    - I want to figure out a way to strap my phone to my chest to take a time-lapse video of my commute. -- nm - psilotum May 21, 21:05 3
      - Pretty sure they make devices for this. It's likely that they also make cases for this. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 21:07 2
        
        There is camera for that. Hero? And I just saw a handlebar mount for an iPhnone last week. -- nm - nevermind May 21, 21:16 1
        
        Yeah, GoPro Hero. Handlebar mount might be too shaky unless there's some sort of stabilization ... - Beryllium May 21, 21:17
    - this is the view from the bike path I was on -- (link) - Beryllium May 21, 21:01 [flickr] 1
