In the 1978 Superman movie:
Lois: How much do you weigh?
Superman: Two... two fifty.

He means 2,250 lbs (1020 kg). It had already been explained that he's much denser than humans. Krypto might be over 500 lbs (226 kg). So Krypto might do this naturally.

Best diet & exercise program

All text:
* Eat whatever you like because -
The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54
The inventor of gymnastics died at 57
The world bodybuilding champion died at 41
The best footballer in the world, Maradona, died at 60

And then -
The KFC inventor died at 94
The inventor of Nutella died at 88
The cigarette maker Winston died at 102
The inventor of Hennessy died at 98

How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?
The rabbit is always jumping but lives around 2 years
and the turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives over 200 years

So, rest, chill, eat, drink and enjoy life.

From FB:

Was talking for an hour with different "support team" members trying to solve the delivery issues with my order. The whole time, I had a thought in the back of my mind that those so-called "consultants" might actually be an AI slop. And behold - the results confirmed my suspicion.
Amazon support is useless. Don't bother wasting your time.

Remember, everyone who confuses correlation with causation eventually ends up dead.

Democrats are more likely to own cats than Republicans. But, why would a Democrat want to own a Republican?

Back update: week 3. NSAIDs aren't reducing pain as much. Think it's b/c there isn't much inflammation. What does work is an hour on a heating pad. Background pain level seems to have a cumulative effect. Was able to put shoes on normally this morning. Even getting out of bed was nearly normal.

I won't be happy until the AI robot says "And me, with a brain the size of a planet" when it walks off to clean the bathroom.

Sorry I’m late. I had to watch one of our cats play with a toy because it was the cutest thing ever.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

I'm reminded that 45 beat out G W Bush for stupidest sitting president. 47 has beaten 45, but feels the need to keep working at it.

I miss the good old days when if you needed an extra egg you just had to put some chicken in the microwave, connect it to the VCR and hit rewind.

Not sure i believe this. I mean, sure, it could happen. He's high, says, uhm, stuff. His staff are hand pick yes-men (yes-people). Why would they attempt to correct him?

Trump said he "talked to the president of Puerto Rico, because that president was doing a horrible job"
Just a reminder: Trump is the president of Puerto Rico. It's a U.S. territory. And apparently, neither he nor anyone on his team realized that. Gotta be the stupidest administration EVER. The BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. NO EDUCATION WHATSOEVER

Guy on subway showed me a pic of his wife & said, "Isn't she beautiful?"
I said, "If you think she's beautify, you should see my wife."
He asked, "Is she stunning?"
I said, "Uhm, the point is that she's an optician."
