Are we not?

I was thinking about Sion specifically after I posted. I also didn't segregate between the Jedi Order and Sith because he left it at Jedi. Keep in mind that when you say "Sith" there's actually three different classes to consider: The Sith species, the Sith Order or "the dark side," and Sith Lords, which are specifically dark Jedi. The Sith species, although inherently adept in the force, is extinct. The Sith Order is anything from a capable army to an entire army, but is for one thing self-defeating in principle and for another isn't completely comprised of force users, which leads me to the third definition, Sith Lords. The most powerful Sith, bar none, but there's only ever a handful. Especially as of Darth Bane who initiated the Rule of two, so at any one time there are only ever two Sith Lords. This of course was broken often, but all the same there were only ever a handful of powerful sith Jedi at one time. All that said, I don't think the Sith would win at all against the GLC, especially considering they're fighting themselves while fighting the enemy. A death match between a sith lord and a lantern? Sith hands down. All out war? I don't think so. Now, going back to where I said I didn't segregate Jedi. I took the simple definition of "Wielders of the force" not necessarily followers of the Jedi code. This allows for the inclusion of characters such as Revan (who began as Jedi, became Sith, and then depending on how you played out KoTOR remained sith, became Jedi again, or was just apathetic but regardless went off to fight Darth Scourge), Meetra Surik (the Jedi Exile), Jolee Bindo, Luke Skywalker, Vader, even Mace Windu (who used both light and dark force powers). To me, these are all Jedi, and all more than enough trouble for the GLC. I was also curious about the definitions regarding the Star Wars universe. Since it wasn't defined, I just went EU, if you couldn't tell. I disagree regarding the mind powers, though. Some lanterns may have a little resistance, but I doubt they could fully resist an adept jedi's powers of mind manipulation. Consider force Fear (Horror, Insanity) or Force Illusion. Force illusion could be especially devastating, tricking lanterns into thinking they're fighting a legion of Jedi, or by allowing the Jedi to become invisible. One interesting point that hasn't been mentioned, though - Ring vs Lightsaber, could the Lightsaber penetrate the ring or vice versa?

Need to do more research into GLC, but I say Jedi. The Force is always at their disposal. Rings need to be recharged, right? Jedi could win from sheer persistence. Not to mention the endless capability that can be drawn from the force, from physical force like push and storm, to attribute altering and boosting, and the ability to wreak havoc on your senses. Granted I'm drawing from a limited pool of GLC knowledge, so short of what I've seen John Stewart do in Justice League I'm at a loss for any other potential.

By that logic, a smorgasbord is covered by a heaping ton of food.

I can totally relate to this. I've been tracking food labels and how I've felt day to day the whole time I've been doing this, just for the fun of it. At the end of the day, though, it's only 30 days so there's not too many reliable conclusions you can come to, regardless of what approach you use, assuming you intend to analyze it. In other news, I'm going into day 26 and had salmon cooked in bacon fat for dinner tonight. If you've never done this, I highly recommend it.

Why not both? Just alternate. Maybe one week box, the next week powerlift. Unless there's a cost associated with them, in which case do the cheaper one. Point is, if you can commit time to one, I see no reason why you couldn't commit time to both - just not as much time. Unless you just want to get specifically good at one or the other.

Lynchburg here.

code.org is a great resource as well. It has a lot of quick one hour lessons that are easy to breeze through, and longer than one hour lessons including intro level courses at various universities. He may get bored from the courses and there may be some things over his head, but if he's interested in trying out something like that he'd definitely benefit.

Foot massage ftw. Especially if you have a younger sibling at your disposal.

I got that as a Christmas gift for my self last year. It's sharing a bag with a bourbon barrel aged Russian Imperial right now. Trying to decide when will be a good time to drink them.

Right now I'm co-oping as a Lean Process Engineer, which is what I'm hoping to do after I graduate in May. I also would really like to get involved in human factors and ergonomics engineering, I think that would be the coolest thing I could get involved with. Unfortunately I don't really have any leads on where I could do that. If anyone has any ideas hit me up. I'd also like to be a professor of engineering after I retire, but that means getting a Phd, which I'm not too sure about.

Same thing happens to me. I attribute it to rolling my ankles often hiking or playing sports. If you're really worried about it, strengthen the muscles around your ankle. It probably won't stop the cracking, but it will provide additional support.

I've experienced this with a couple different wines I've tried, for me I think it was the sugar (sweet wines while I usually drink dry). However, I doubt that's the source of your problem considering the types of beer you have issues with. As I understand, beer, like wine, can have high levels of histamine and tyramine which dilate and constrict the blood vessels in your brain (respectively). Some people don't have the necessary enzymes to properly process these and will get bad headaches shortly after drinking as a result. Unfortunately if this is the culprit, I don't know how you could differentiate between beers that don't contain high levels of these.

Assassin's Creed: The hardest movie I ever played. I really like the story of all of them (save 3) but felt the gameplay was severely lacking. On the one hand is really cool looking combat, but really simple and mundane to actually control. On the other hand you have super tedious activities, including the combat, collecting feathers and treasure chests and climbing the towers and so on. AC2 added a cool element with the economy and ability to build up the city though. Graphically stunning, interesting story, not enough immersion for me. I haven't played 4 though, or any of the games between 2 and 3. This week I started playing Skyrim again, restarted as a Dark Elf, picked out some different mods to try out and changed up my play style and order of quests a little bit. I also haven't invested too much time in any of the DLCs, so I'll get into those a bit and see what I can come up with. Anyone else kind of irritated with the way Bethesda did the vampire feeding/powers thing? My mindset has always been that feeding would make a vampire more powerful, not weaker. I always used a mod in Oblivion that made this adjustment. I haven't been a vamp in Skyrim yet so I haven't bothered looking for such a mod, but I assume it exists. LOVED Fable, the sequels never quite did it for me. I definitely exploited the hell out of the hero saves. I'd have 20 silver keys by the Hobbe Killing contest to unlock the hammer with the exp augmentation behind the Hero's Guild.
