Greetings, gentlemen.A few months ago, after reading a few of the articles here on returning the hat to its former glory, I decided to try it out on a date/prom-alternative party. While I do think…Continue

Matthew Williams replied to Hyrum Higgins's discussion Advice on whether to stop talking to a girl"I wish I could offer solid advice, but as I'm in the midst of such a situation (possibly about to come out of it, but I've been on the verge and then turned back countless times), the best I can do is join you in the trenches. I dated this…"

Rob replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Surviving the End of the Semester"Matthew, the part of your brain that keeps you on track for accomplishing a goal is called the anterior cingulate cortex. I'd suggest looking it up except that you can't afford that distraction at the moment, so please don't and just…"
Rebekah replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Surviving the End of the Semester"Eh, December is a lot less stressful when you have only your usual work responsibilities, plus all the holiday stuff; rather than extra school responsibilities, the holiday stuff, and preparing to more or less move several hundred or thousand miles.…"
Derek replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Surviving the End of the Semester"I'm a junior going through the same thing, and if I can offer any advice, it's this: you'll get through it. But be warned, it NEVER gets easier to deal with, and every single semester you'll feel like there's no possible way…"
Jack Bauer replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Surviving the End of the Semester"Its only another week or two. Sack up and press on.
It gets worse. Once you graduate, there is no end of the semester.

Memento mori, my fellow men.It is the end of the semester, and I have nothing left in the tank. No interest, no willpower. Yet I still need to do a lot of work for a philosophy paper, as well as prepare for exams. Not even knowing that keeping my scholarship may depend on finishing the semester well can jolt my focus back into line.To those who have been here and survived, what did you do?See More
Elliott Jason Ridgway replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Hat Etiquette Details"I usually wear a european flat cap made of wool... when I sit down to eat, I think it is rude to put it on the table, if I put it on my lap, I may spill food on it, and if I place it on my knee, it falls on the floor...
I was inspired by Jack…"
The Voice of Reason replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Hat Etiquette Details"Tin foil hats fold up neatly and fit in your wallet. One more reason to wear tin foil hats"
David F. replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Hat Etiquette Details"That is a bit rude in a public space I would think. You are blocking it from use by others by placing your hat on it."
Joseph Morris replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Hat Etiquette Details"I recommend finding a cleared, not in use table nearby to set it on...assuming no one moves it that is."
Ryan replied to Matthew Williams's discussion Hat Etiquette Details"@John:
Historical civilian hat etiquette and military hat protocols were not the same. Military cover is indoor/outdoor, while civilian hats (were) public vs private space.
Having never been in the military, I favor the traditional etiquette: hat…"

A Poem by some one that I knowTake nothing lightlyBy Bjorn FaknamTake nothing lightly. No vain promise give. Hold your honor tightly, In the one life we live.Do not throw trust away, Whether in you or from you. Live up to it today, In everything you do.Look with respect. Follow honor to the letter. Use the courtesy you expect. Nay, treat them better.No matter what gifts you were given, You are never above yourself. By whatever cause you are driven, Put yourself on the back shelf.Those around…See More

Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Thanks for the advice Sam.
It is interesting that you didn't find the negatives very helpful. The elastic idea is really interesting. I have managed my first reps but what I found was I am taking one arm over the bar before the other, either my…"
Liam replied to Liam's discussion Moving towards my first muscle up"Yes I agree, unfortunately I don't have anything to record myself with. I managed my first poor quality reps the other day which I am thrilled about but my maximum reps of pull ups has fallen significantly in the process (from 12 - 15 down to…"
Liam S. replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Well "stylish" can mean many things.
Personally, for around $100, I would look at the Seiko 5 series. These are very solid automatic movements (no batteries, but no winding either - if you wear them). They are built well, and there is a…"
